Letter from Rev. G. H. Heaton, Train
ing School for Army Chaplains,
Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville,
Kentucky. to The True Northerner

Some of your readers perhaps would
like TO know how a preacher feels in
a military uniform. | may say in the
language of an old song, "It's great
change for me-
arrived here at Camp Taylor with
several other preachers like myself
whom / fell in with on the road. We
were graciously received by the school
commander, Major Prudden. Inside of
an hour from the time of our arrival
we had been completely fitted out with
uniform, mess kit and bed blankets.
There are about three hundred chap
lain candidates in this school who rep
resent various denominations, including
Catholics. We are all dressed in the
same uniform and made to live and
work on an equality and under like
conditions. We might as well be known
by number as to have a name so far
as any identity is concerned. This is
big change for those who have been
accustomed for many years to a place
of some distinction as pastors of in
dulgent congregations Individuality
of course, will assert itself but for the
time being it seems to be completely
submerged in the mass.
This is a great life / am sure
am going to enjoy it. Among the men
with whom | am associated are the
choicest spirits of America. / shall be
glad to send brief note occasionally

HISTORIC PRECEDENTS

-Four Thousand years ago Food
Commissioner Joseph, in the land Of
Egypt commandeered one-fifth of the
wheat crop OF Egypt each year for
seven years and stored it In the cities
nearest the wheat fields His drastic
action at that time saved the world
from starvation.
1.-TWO thousand five hundred years
ago Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
instructed that certain men whom he
wished to have attached to his court
be fed on kings food and wine to give
them q well-nourished look. One of
these men, named Daniel, persuaded
his caterer that himself and friends
could be better nourished on pulse and
water, and requested that he make q
test covering q suficient length OF
time; the others to be fed on kings
food and vino. The test showed that
those who lived on pulse (lentils) and
water, were better nourished than
those fed on kins's food uuxurie and

CAMP CUSTER COOKING CHIEF
TO MOTHERS OF CUSTER BOYS
(By 1t. John b. Snider, Assistant to
Capt. Dunno OF School for Bakers
and Cooks)

II you have a boy In Custer you may
rest assured he is receiving plenty Of
good wholesome food-food that is
curing his indigestion and indisposi.
tions Is the only kind he is given. II
would be better for the health of the
balanced diet and stick to 1t for the
period Of the war rather than eat indis
criminatsly and perhaps suffer from
unnecessary indigestion the greater part
of the time. This article, am told
Is written with purpose OF showing
Michigan people who have never had
the opportunity to eat a meal in an
army mess how the matter of conserv.
ing food is being practiced here and
to urge upon all of you, who want to
help our men and Allies come out OF
this world war victorious, to conserve
all of the wheat, fats, sugar and other
food, which saving program is vital,
in order to defeat the Kaiser and his
Uboats. You may rest assured that
any and all you are able ITO save will

hands of the army cooks for there are
perhaps no cooks in the land as care
full to see that every ounce of wheat,
fats, etc, is eaten and not one bit of it
goes into the garbage can. Rather
that 1t all goes to create one Of the
best armies that the world has ever

subjects before they are placed In
charge of the work. The purpose and
scope Of the work done by this school
are the making of expert cooks and
mess sergeants, many of whom have
never had any previous experience
along this line. Men when they enter
the school are impressed with three
illness is absolutely insisted upon, and
the food must be cooked properly with
view to It's being eaten with salts
faction by the men. The method Of
cooking without waste for such large
number of men Is very simple when
against taking moro on his plate than
he can eat. There is a plenty for
all but none to waste" could be adopt
ed as the official slogan Of the army
cooks. A sergeant is stationed in the
mess hall to prevent the practice of
taking excessive portions and leaving
a part of the food untouched on the
plate. All that is left on the serving
plates Is utilized In some other dish.
A good example OF how this surplus is
handled is shown In the use of left
over potatoes. For example mashed
potatoes are served for dinner and fif-
teen pounds of the potatoes are not
eaten. That night the menu will per-
haps have potato cakes or baked po-
tatoes with the leftover potatoes pala-
tably worked into the evening mess.
Economy Practiced to Last Degree.
Economy in the use of food-stuffs in
the kitchen is practiced to the last de-
gree. When a quarter OF beef is de.
livered to the kitchen 1t Ia Immediately
cut up. the bones and all fat removed
The bones are broken into small pieces
and boiled thus conserving all OF the
nutritious elements Of the bones such
as the fat contained In the marrow and
the gelatin In the tendons and bones.
This stock IL used a. base for SOUPS.
All the fat IL cut into very smsrl
pieces and put on the stove rendering
all of the fat from the solids. In this
way q saving is made on the lard COM
ponent OF the ration rs well a. the
money saving II the same lard had to
be bought. Perhaps the fat thus cut
from one quarter Of beef will be SUM-
cient for frying two or three meals
Of croquettes, in which left over pota-
toes and meat are used. or the same
number OF meals OF French fried pota.
toes. which by the way is one OF the
most popular dishes in the army. The
same practice Of rendering all fat
from beef, pork, mutton, ETC.. can be
practiced In the average home Just al
we'll as in the army kitchen" said
Lieut. John B. Snider, who was In
charge In the absence of Capt. Dunno.
that oficer being In Washington on Of.
fetal business at the time of the in
spection. "Of course the quantities
will not be as great. For example. :"
he continued. When you have a steak
II you will cut all Of the fat from the
meat and render It and use only what
Is necessary for frying the meat you
will be surprised to find you saved per-

Note the variety and the above Is
merely a sample of the average menu
which for balance and nutriment
would be hard to equal In a good many
homes. A constant variety is given
the men so that they will not become
tired OF any particular dish. Baked
navy beans are good substitute for
the beef component at times. The nu-
triton obtained from macaroni and
cheese Is more than beef and that dish
Is always favorite In the army The
principal idea is to give the men a bal
anced ration 80 that they will get all
the different elements required to keep
them In the pink Of condition. Too
much fat is not healthy neither is too
much protein or an excess Of carbo-
hydrates.
Largest Laundry in Michigan.
Next to the 100 per cent plus SAM
tation methods insisted upon In con-
nection with the preparation, cooking
and serving of the food the most i'm
portant item In the program OF camp
cleanliness is the laundry The plant
is said to be the largest laundry In
Michigan, which claim is probably cor
rect inasmuch as the average city Of
forty thousand supports several laun-
dries, not taking into account the
number Of people who hire their wash
ing done and the still larger majority
who do their own laundry work The
Camp Custer laundry does all the work
OF the camp and the magnitude of the
organization cannot be understood
short OF a personal visit. One day
the plant did 1904 army blankets "ex-
ira" without interfering with their reg
ular wash which gives some idea of
the magnitude of the enterprise, as
most housewives know what it means
to have one extra blanket in the weeks
wash. The officers pay for their work
at the regular down town custom rates,
while the cost of this service to II e
noncoms and privates is one dollar u
month regardless of the number of
pieces. 1t is rather the rule for a sol
dier to have at least two washings a
month that would exceed the dollar
limit if done outside the camp.
Custer has its own storage and re-
frigeration plant which like the laun.
dry is sufficient to meet the complete
needs of city of forty thousand. The
ice plant turns out forty thousand
pounds day The plant is being OPP
Grated by soldiers formerly in the Ice
manufacturing business at Flint. The
camp never has to exceed three days
meat supply on hand. This meat is
unloaded at the doors of the refrigera-
tion plant where II is inspected by
Lieut.. d. s. Luce, Wisconsin man,
Notwithstanding II has been previous
ly inspected by federal agents at Chi
cago. Only the choicest cuts are
bought and the June beef supply was
the most expensive meat ever sery ed
to any army. No meat Is bought from
any dealer who does not come within
the jurisdiction Of the federal inapec-
ton bureau which practically confines
the market to the Chicago packers.
