AMERICAN ARMY BAKERY DOES
EXCELLENT WORK in BAKING
(By United Press. }

With the American army in
France, Oct 4. (By Mail. )-"Where
do you get this fine, white bread :"
is the question asked hundreds OF
times day of the girls in the Red
Cross canteen at Dijon. . s@r
Then follows the explanation that
the bread is obtained from the army
bakery presided over by Capt. Ward,
who has made a record famous
throughout the army in France.
The plant started in October, 1917.
with an output Of $4,000 pounds OF
bread per day. 1t is now shipping
$4,000 pounds Of bread every
twenty-four hours. And 1t doesn't
tell the boche anything to say that
the army bread factory is located a
few miles from Dijon because Its out
put is shipped over territory of $50
miles. &a.,@ spf az
To get in the supplies of -four, salt,
yeast and sugar needed for half a
million pounds of bread is no small
lob, with transportation facilities
what they are. Then, the ESQ tons
of baked bread must be made and
shipped on an unfailing schedule or
some Of Uncle Sans soldiers will 60
hungry. -
AS the summer progressed con-
ditions have become easier at the
army bakery in France. All through
last winter and spring the bakery
camions, which are VIGOROUSLY ven
turesome, refused to risk themselves
in the deep mud which surrounded
the ovens. ssr. y.r-.~ ..g%
All the lighting Of the = early
months of 1918 was not done in the
front line trenches. The baker boys
fought in trenches half full OF water
:, in front of their ovens and boilers.
How they faced the job Is evident
from the signs they placed on the
ends Of these bakery trenches. "No
Fishing Allowed" "No Bathing Per
mitted were among signs displayed
by men who made joke Of the hard
ships incident to their part in win
ming the war. Some were bakers at
home: most Of them were not, but
they all went cheerfully to work In
a morass of mud when that was the
job assigned to them.
The force employed at the army
bake shops numbered more than e.
900 by the end of August. Every
section has a trademark, which is
baked in the loaves it. turns out.
Every shipment is inspected, checked
and dated, so that in case anything
goes wrong the responsibility can be
placed exactly:
The bread from Capt. Ward 6
bakery is sold to and served by the
American Red Cross canteen because
It feeds from 5000 to 10000 SOL
diers per week on their way to- and
from Eastern sectors. Not all OF
them stop for bread, but the mini
mum ration served is coffee with
milk and sugar. j. ;,~ &c t,'
Outside the canteen are fave TO-
gallon containers suspended from: q
framework. Eacns container has
four spigots at the bottom for filling
cups. When troop train Of 1900 OF
1900 men is to be served there are
no minutes to be wasted, but you
can imagine what has happened
sometimes when you see the sign dis
played above the rack: .,..
Fiji your cups. Don't drink out
Of the spigot." ~

daisy by opening the slulees OF the

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot

stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestib1e waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
While you, are enjoying your break
fast the water and phosphate is quiet

from the blood and getting ready for

The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly complexions are urged to
get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone pronounced crank
on the subject of inside-bathing be-
fore breakfast.

LARGEST TREE IN the WORLD.

The most remarkable tree in
the world, perhaps, is the Bany.
an, of linda. A tree of this spe-
les, on an Island in the Nerbudda
River. is believed TO be the same
one that is mentioned by Alexan-
der the Great. The branches
send down numerous aerial"
roots that grow down to the soil
and form props or additional tru-
nks, until a single tree often COW
iers so large an area that 1t will
shelter thousands Of men. At
the time Of Alexander the Greats
visit, one tree covered 30 extern
sive an area that it sheltered ten
thousand men. Under the pro-
tecting shade OF these trees the
Indian merchants still conduct
their markets. The merchants
are known as ''banians," because
they abstained form meat for
many centuries. but modern Gus
toms have driven out many of
the Hindu's traditions.

WILL TAKE TEN MONTHS
FOR AMERICA TROOPS
TO RETURN.
Boston, New York, Newport
News and Charleston VIII
Be Landing Places.

Boston, New York, Newport
News, Va, and Charleston, S. C.
are the ports the War Depart
ment now plans to use for the re-
turn of the army form overseas.
Even with this wide distribution
of strain on port facilities and
transportation, however, and
with German ships now idle in
German harbors employed on the
task, careful estimates show
that the last of the army could
not possibly reach the United
States in less than eight months.
Conservative calculations upon
which preparations by the depa-
rtment probably will be based,
fix ten months as the minimum.
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physic-
al difficultie to be overcome. and
do not take into consideration the
question of the retention in Eur
ope TO some time of an American
force which may be agreed upon
at the peace conference. If the
return movement, already in pro-
gress, is continued at full speed,
the last division in all probability
could not reach the United States
before October, 1919.
Decision to route the troops to
their homes through the four
ports mentioned is understood to
have been based on two main
considerations. First, they have
been equipped to handle the tram
sports and the men, and second.
they are the natural gateways to
the country. each fed by an in
dependent rail system ramifying
back through geographically in
dependent sections of the United
State. By loading the ships as
far as possible with men form the
same general section, it will be
possible, army officers say, to
avoid cross-carrying and disrup-
ton of normal traffic in getting
the soldiers form the ships to
their homes.

ADVERTISE AND SAVE time.

Never was there a time in the
history of this country when the
people was as constant. and inve-
terate readers of newspaper as
they are today. and this is espe-
cially so in the matter of news
paper advertising. People who a
few years ago would hardly look
at an advertisement now digest
every word of it, and they do it
with a purpose. The human
mind is broadeing and expand
ing, and becoming more liberal.

arly that class of food that con-
serves the financial interests of
the reader. This demand is sat-
isfed in perusal of newspaper

ton is taken to grasp the money

The well worded advertisements
appeals directly to every well
balanced mind. 1t points the
way to econmy. And the wise

A Message To You.

The following message from
]. |. Finney, assistant food ad.
ministrator for Tennessee, is sent
thro the Sentinel to the citizens
of Jackson county.
According to a telegram recea-
we'd at the Office of the Federal
Food Administration. Mr.. Hoover
cables form Europe thet he has
not yet had sufficient time to
formulate a definite program for
food conservtion, but just as soon
as he can conclude his survey of
the situation this information
will come, Mr., Hoover is now bus
lily engaged in conference with
REPRESENTATIVES of the allied gov
ernments regarding shipping,
finance and organization. Be-
fore leaving American Mr.. Hoov-
er arranged for the dispatch of
10000 tond of stuffs and the
first of the ships carrying these
supplies has passed Gilbralter
on its way to Southern Europe.
The message form Mr. Hoover
states that the pressing demand
for food on every hand in Europe
is obvious. There is everywhere
an appeal for aid form the Unit
ed Ttates. The people are look
ing to this country for the food
stuffs that will save them form
starvation during the coming
year while processes on readjust-
ment are going on and plans can
be made for local harvests. The
officials of the Food Administra.
tion here expect to receive at an
early date a definite program
mr.. Hoover upon which an ap-
peal for conrete saving may be
used. 1t is recognized by the
members of the Food Administr-
alton the appeal for censeration
must be made now, not as a war
necessity, but upon broad huma-
nitarian grounds. In the future
the Food Administration will de-
pend more and more upon yolun-
tary cooperation and less and
less upon the enforcement of reg
ulations. In the meantime and
until a definite program can be
arranged by Mr.. Hoover and his
allied associates the efforts Of
the Food Administration are be.
ing directed toward preparing
the people of American for full
and hearty response to any re-
guess that may be made. Every
possible agency for reaching the
people is being used so that they
will continue to save. The coun.
try food organizations builded
dufing the war will be used tc
disseminate the propaganda Of
the clean plate and avoidance Of
waste.

Do You Know That


lar in the Army that about 200,-
600 pounds are needed every mo.
nth to fill the demand. This
however, is only about Is per
cent of all the candy our soldier
boys get away with once a mon
tn.
One thousand tons of American
sugar consigned to German firms
three years ago has just been
turned into chocolate candy for
our boys in France. 1t was conf
scted by the French government
as contraband of war, and was
held in bond until a few weeks
ago, when the Y.M.C.A. bought
it and turned it into candy.
1t will be necessary to continue
the conservation of wheat flour
next year in order to pile up re-
serves against a possible short
crop throughout the world, on
accout of labor shortage. Now
that we are getting used to bread
made form mixed flowers, and
likeing it better, we shall feel it
no great hardship to continue.
1t is estimated that the hotels,
restaurants, clubs and dining
cars of the country saved, form
October lst, 1917, to August 1st,
1918, between 100000 and
200, 600, 600 pounps of wheat and
its products, as we'll a 100, 600, 900
pounps of meats and $1,000. 600
pounds of sugar,
1t will be news to most house,
wives that jelly can be made
just as firm without sugar as
with it. Sugar in jelly simply
supplies a sweeter taste. What
makes that fruit juices "jell" is
a certain ingredient called pectin,
which is in apples and pears
more than in any fruit. Pectin
is NEST abundant in fruit that is
not quite rip, enough to eat.
Approximately 225,OOO, 600 pou-
nds of sugar was used by our
Army during the year ending
September 1st, 1918. About 237
pounds are consumed by every
one thousand soldiers every
day. This figures out about 81
pounds year for each man.
There are about 100000 retail
ers in the United States who sell
chewing gum. Great Britain and
Canada haye recently recognized
the manufacture of chewing gum
as a war essential. Our men cr-
ave chewing gum when they can
not get water, and vast quantities
are being supplied to the Allied
Armies and Navies.

JACKSON COUNTY HEROES
with THE C0L0RS'

The following letter from DR.. E.
w. Mabry, who is in the Medical
Officers Training School at Ft.
Riley, Kan, will be of interest
to his many friends throughout
Jackson county. The letter is
written under date of Nov. 26,
and was received by DR.. II. P.
Lofts, this city.
Dear Doctor:
| am going thro experiences
that / never went thro before.
Many things are taught in the
Medical Official Training School
that a doctor at home would new
er think about. | find one main
thing is to obey orders. and they
come thick and fast. A fellow
never knows what is coming.
The drills and hikes are four
thousand times harder than |
ever once thought about an M,
D. having to take. | suppose
they intend for a fellow to never
practice in a car again, but go a
foot.
The hills here remind me of
those around Gainesboro, except
they are not so rough and do not
have any timber on them.
BY a little after daylight about
500 doctors are marching to the
top of one of these hills for drill.
We retire at 10 p. m. Get up
and go thro the morning exer-
else and answer roll call by $50
a. m In our dress or clothing
everything must be just so. All
buttons, buttpned, shoes shined
and faces shaved. I believe this
part will do me good, by teach
ing me to be more careful Even
if the war is over they certainly
do feed US lots of military dope.
1t is some show to see six hun.
dred professional men in uniform
drilling. This is especially SO
when on horses and with those
who have never had any exper-
ience with horses.
All of the doctors in the train
ing school over Al years old was
given on honorable discharge to-
day.
do not know how long | will
be here, but am ready for Uncle
Sans orders. and will go when
and where he commands.

A GOOD JOB Will Be Sc,
CURED FOR EVERY
SOLDIER.
Before Leaving Camp Boys
viii Be Advised Of A.
vailable Positions.

The State Council of nationa
Defense has been asked to aid ir
every possible way the program
for rehabilitation and the secur.
ing of employment for the return
ing soldiers. The slogan adopted
is "A Good Job for Every Sold.
ier" and the Federal Employment
Bureau has asked that the Fede-
raj Director in every state take
up the question Of securing work
for the soldiers and that local
bureaus be established in every
city and town in the country.
A representative of the Employ
ment service will also be station
ed at every camp and information
collected by the various local boa
rds will be forwarded TO the res.
pective camp representatives SO
that every soldier wants employ
ment will be advised upon leav-
ing camp of the needs his respec-
tive community and the position
open to him In addition he will
be given an Introductory card
which will put him in touch with
that industry in which his serv-
ices are needed
In the working out of this pro-
gram every commercial club, all
labor union, civic organizations,
the Mayors of all cities and
towns, the several county chair
men of the Council of Defense,
and employment organizations
generally are being called upon
for their assistance in seeing
that the rehabilitation of the
army does not result in numbers
of idle men.
This plan, in a general way, is
the unification of the many plans
to replace men in industry and
should be given the full support
of every community in the State.
The Government is anxious that
the boys shall be advised of the
industrial needs and and the plans
of the employment service cont
emplat that they shall have this
information even befor they leave
camp for their homes. While the
proposed industrial survey will
contain informatian of a general
nature ii is the plain now to have
the various local bureaus to be
established in every city and
town prepare information of a
specific nature to be transmitted
to the camp representative of
the employment service.
"Agood Job for every soldier is
a good slogan. and Major Rutle-
dge Smith, Chairman of the State
Council of Defense urges every
loyal American citizen to keep
this slogan in mind and render
what aid is in his power in see-
ing that the returning soldier are
taken care of in whatever indus.
