should be used at this season of the
year, as they are delicious and very
health giving.
In connection with these fruits and

At this time no canned fruits or

Sugar may be secured for this pur'

Its use for preserving purposes.
These short-lived foods (fruits and
vegetables) may be used literally
where there is an abundance of them

TRAVELLING SINGERS
WILL TEACH SOLDIERS
Commission on Training Camp
Activities Has Adopted a
New Plan.

Itinerant song leaders, who will travel
from camp to camp. teaching American
troops how to sing, filling the same po-
sitions in small camps that song di-
rectors do in cantonments, are being
engaged by the commission on training
camp activities of the War Department
While the task of putting song lead
ers and dramatic directors in the large
cantonments and naval training sta
ttons has been the comparatively easy
one of finding the right man for the
job. new problem is offered by the
small centers, whose size is not suffi-
cient to command the time of a man to
teach both singing and dramatic ex-
preston.
The commission has hit upon the idea
pared also to teach dramatics are being
engaged for this service. These men
will travel over a short circuit, dividing
their time among several small centers.
Herbert Smith. concert and church
singer of Boston, was the first man
selected by the commission for an itine-
rant job He will divide his time among
five stations in the Boston district. They
include Commonwealth Pier, bingham,
Bumpkin Island. the Harvard Radio
School and the Boston navy yard.
The ultimate aim of the commission,
1t is pointed out, is to place song
leaders in training camps to give SOL
dfers and sailors an Instructor who will
show them how to develop their talents
"A singing army is fighting army"
is the slogan Of the commission.
