YANKEE SOLDIERS WELL FED
1t Cannot Be Said That in Any Way
Uncle Sam Stints His Fight
ing Men.

More than a billion pounds Of meat
a year and an equal amount of pure
wheat flour are required for the Amer
lean army bill of fare. That impos-
ing total will increase rapidly as the
United States enlarges it's fighting
forces in France and the divisions in
training on this side of the Atlantic.
Uncle Sam does not stint the quality
or quantity of food for his husky fight
ing men. There is bountiful supply
of every essential foodstuff on a care
fully balanced menu that provides
more calorses than the rations of any
other ar1ny in the world. Twenty
list frcxn which mess sergeants select
material for the daily meals. They
are beef, bacon, flour, baking powder,
beans, rice, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
prunes, jams, apples, peaches, coffee,
tea, sugar, milk, vinegar, pickles, salt,
pepper, cinnamon, lard and lard sub
stitutes, butter and oleomargarine,
sirup and flavoring extracts. Even
with this elaborate selection, and not
withstanding the mounting cost Of
food, the government finds it possible
to give the boys in khaki all they can
eat for the modest sum of Al and a
fraction cents day. The soldiers get
many articles of food, however, that
are not included in the standard" list.
Supply sergeants are instructed to
vary the diet by purchasing eggs,
chickens, green vegetables and fresh
fruits. This plan is followed in
France as well as in the United
States. Under favorable circumstances
poultry and fresh vegetables and fruit
are served in the front-line trenches.

rejoicing on the steps Of the custom

what it was all about, but it looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally, he
seemed to "get" it. With the agility
of a cat he climbed one of the ped

On the top is a bronze globe, with a
spread eagle over it. Hanging pre-
cariously on the ledge, the negro pull
ed a grimy cloth out Of one pocket
and can of paste out Of another.
Then with vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
