FOOD FUR
OUR SOLDIERS

Uncle Sans experts have given the
subject OF feeding our men the most
careful study. They are convinced that
the following ration produces all that
is needed TO satisfy normal hungar.
keep a man in good physical condition
and fortify him for the duties that daily
fall to his lot as a soldier.
The food value OF this ration is near
ly 4.2O0 calories. This is 730 calories
less than normally allowed the Russian
soldier but nearly $50 calories more
than the French soldier now gets and
nearly $40 more than is supplied to the
British soldier.
A days ration for the u. s. Soldier
! IS ounces of bread, ~ ounces OF bacon,
24 ounces OF beans, 20 ounces Of pota-
toes. five ounces OF evapOrated milk
and a little over three ounces OF sugar.
In addition, coffee, salt, pepper, butter,
Jam, and lard sufficient TO season and
round out the soldiers meals are pro-
vided
Variety in the preparation Of these
foods adds to their value Send your
boy these suggestions OF appetizng
ways to prepare beans. He will slip
them to his mess sergeant and do a !

will want to try the recipes first your

REVIEW OF ENGLISH
TRADE RESTRICTIONS

British trade restrictions since the
beginning of the war are outlined in
a report made public today by the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce.
These restrictions have very i'm
portant bearing on American indus
try and commerce and hundreds of in
quiries have been received in Wash
ington concerning them.
The governments report traces the
history of the various steps that have
been taken TO restrict British imports
and exports and makes clear the scope
of the measures so far adopted. A
complete list of commodities affected
up to June 10 is included.
The bulletin is entitled British
Control of Imports and Exports,
Tariff Series No. 80, and is sold at 5
cents copy by the superintendent OF
Documents. Government Printing Of
flee, Washington. d. c., and by all dis
trict and cooperative Offices of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce.

The telegraph and telephone should
be owned" and run by the govern
ment, just as the post Office and rail-
roads. These great industries form a
correlated group. and every patriot"
should write TO his Senator, urging
him TO take over these great instru-
mentalities of commerce at once and
permanently. The big powers" of
finance are moving Heaven and Earth
to keep the wires" out of the govern
ment hands They control quite a
number of Senators. so it will require
heavy pressure from the people back
home" to pull their Senators over on
the right side.
President Wilson wants the wires
turned over to the government TO
help win the war" and every Sena-
tor who stands in the way of speeding
the act of Congress to empower the
President to take them over lis en-
dangering the lives of our boys over
There" Such Senators care more for
dollars than they do for the lives OF
our boys. Tell them so.

SAN DIEGO HIT NINE"
SECRETARY DANIELS

81 do not think the cruiser San
Diego was sunk by a submarine, but
probably by a mine," said Secretary
of the Navy Daniels. when asked as to
the cause of the sea disaster off Fire
Island light.
He declared that the sinking of the
cruiser, except for the loss of life,
is of no significance. and not to be
considered.
THE presence of German sub
mersibles on this side of the Atlantic
is more or less of aSmenace, of course,
but they will not avail in stopping our
transports going overseas with sol
diers and more soldiers as fast as we
can send them. Notwithstanding the
great precautions we have taken to
protect our transports, supply ships
and men, still consider it marvellous
that we have succeeded in getting
more than a million troops overseas
without the loss of life or ship
1T is true that we have lost about
200 men during return voyages of
transports, and that is deeply regret
able, but we still have been marvel
ously fortunate Every time a trans
port fleet and its conveys leave our
shores, knowing that it must run the
gantlet of the U-boat menace in the
war zone. I am fearful for its safety. -

EXCERPTS FROM
SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY
The q. s. Naval Academy, In 1861,
Moved To Newport And Army
Used Annapolis For Hospital

Writing for Scribner's Magazine in
the July number, Instructor Carol II.
Foster has the following to say of the
Naval Academy in 1861:
During the Civil War the Naval
Academy was moved to Newport, on
the historic Constitution, while its
former home at Annapolis was used
as a base hospital by the army. On
the Academy's return to Annapolis, in
1865, Vice Admiral Porter, the Super
intendent, instituted regular dances, or
hops" and, most important of all his
reforms, the honor system. by which a
Midshipman's word was not to be
questioned.
He also encouraged athletics in
every way. In the presence of a
throng of Midshipmen he even boxed
with one of them himself and allowed
the nose of the vice admiral of the
navy to be smartly tapped by his en-
thusiastic young opponent-to the
manifest glee of the assembly and to
the shuddering horror of the old navy
when it learned of this innovation.
BY the end of Porter's superintend-
ency, in 1869, the Naval Academy had
worked out the system followed 10 the
present day. Since 1851 academic
work has not been interrupted by
three years at sea. Through drills
and summer cruises practical skill and
seagoing habits have been acquired
without sacrificing progress in the
theory and science of the naval pro-
fession. During their four years al
the Academy its graduates have felt
rs potent spell and have afterward
won honor for it and themselves. The
results achieved challenge comparison
with those of any college, and have
made a reputation second to none"

SENATORS FEAR CENSOR
UNDER WIRE CONTROL

Senators see in the resolution pro-
viding for government control of tele-
graph. telephone and radio communi-
cation a menace that Postmaster
Burleson will impose an arbitrary
censorship upon the news. In the de-
bate the other day a number of Sena-
tors, notably Senator Smith, of Michi-
gan, and Senator kellogg, of Mime
sofa, declared that the government
control scheme threatened the chan
nels of news.
So bitter did the denunciation of the
measure become that Senator Lewis,
of Illinois, left the chamber to confer
with Postmaster Burleson. The latter
assured the Senator that he had no in
tention of establishing himself as news
censor in the event of the passage of
the resolution, but his assurance fail
ed to effect among the opponents of
the measure.

Catarrah Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they

Catarrah is a local disease, greatly in
fiuenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrah
Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucuous sur
faces OF the system. Halls Catarrah
Medicine was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years. It is composed of some of the
best tonics known, combined with
some of the best blood purifiers. The

/ SOMETHING IN NAMES
OF TWO MARINES

1t was William Shakespeare who put
the interrogation, Whats in name?''
But though the dramatist in his early
struggles might have carried spear
in the chorus, that is as near as he
ever came to war.
Recently out of the wilds of Poca-
tello, Idaho, came two young men to
"a recruiting station of the U. S. Ma
rine Corps Their names were Sam
uel R. Haight and Anchor Lemon.
Both were anxious to enlist.
when l heard about the atrocities
of the Germans, / was determined to
live up to my name" said Haight.
And" he added, my pal here is
soured against the Huns, anyway"
The men are now on their way to
Paris Island for training as Marines.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION
Leon r. spriggs VS.. Frederick c. Spriggs.
In the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
County
No 1872 Divorces.

The object of this suit is TO obtain a
divorce a vinculo matrimonli, by the pam
tif from the defendant.
l. The bill states that the plaintiff is a
resident of Annapolis, Maryland that he
was married to his wife, Frederick G.
Spriggs, in Annapolis, Maryland, with
whom he lived and resided in said city OF
Annapolis until the 23d day of Decem-
Der, in the year nineteen hundred and
twelve.
2. That although the conduct of your ora
tors toward his wife, the said Frederick
c Spriggs, has always been kind, affec-
tionate and above reproach. the said
Frederick C. Spriggs has, without any
Just cause or reason, abandoned and de-
serted him and has declared her intention
to live with him no longer, and such aban-
for at least three years, and is deliberate
and final and the separation of the parties
is beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation.
1t is thereupon, this first day of July,
1913, ordered by the Circuit Court for
Anne Arundel County, in Equity, that
plaintiff, by causing a copy of this order
lished in Anne Arundel County Maryland,
once each week for four successive weeks,
before the first day of August, 1918, to
give notice to the said on-resident de-
PENDANT of the object and substance of
this bill, warning her to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the
18th DAY OF AUGUST, NEXT,
to show cause, if any she has why a de-
cree should not be passed as prayed.

COUNTY EDITOR
LOVES EXCHANGES

A new day has dawned for the coun-
try editor. and in the night in which
it was born died our greatest solace,
says the Towson New Era:
No longer shall we shut our door,
light our corncob, put our feet on our
desk and go into retreat with our ex-
changes. There were some sixty or so
of them; we loved them all. For even
the most badly printed, for the small
est. we had a sympathetic understand
ing. Their trials and tribulations were
also our own in greater or lesser de-
gree. We smiled sadly when we saw
Mrs. Jones chronicled as Mrs. Bones
and we knew what would be the lady's
Indignation. We knew, from bitter
self-experience, that another knocker
was created and another dollar flown
from our brothers treasury.
When will people learn that mis-
takes are not made purposely, and
that most of our little pieces have to
be written right hurriedly-yea, even
our editorials?
And now where will the big city edi-
torial fellows, who poke fun at US and
make humor out of our mistakes and
the quaintness of some of our coun-
try correspondents, get OF at? What
new well of humor will they tap?
Yea, it is an evil day when we shall
no longer scan those other pages in
the bitter moments of our weekly de-
preston and draw comforts from the
knowledge that there were others even
worse this week than we were. We
shall miss communion with our fell
cut out.
