Jan. 1I.-Uncle Sam believes that the
way to reach a mans fighting ele-
ments is through his stomach and
that an empty stomach results in a
Door soldier. The food given the men
at Camp Travis is plentiful, substan-
tiai and prepared in q way that
causes It to be relished by the
whetted appetites. The supply of
food has always been plentiful and
the supply of clothing has kept pace
with the actual needs. The soldiers
are being cared for. without being
coddled and the cases OF complaints

diers need; clothes and food, are few
