at cost of about three cents, one
need only get a package of Canthro1
from your druggist; dissol:e a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. This makes

excess oil and dirt are quickly dis

insures hair growth.-Adv.

TO REDUCE DANGEROUS
VARICOSE VEINS

People who have swollen veins or
lunches should not wait until they
reach the bursting point which means
much suffering and loss of time, but
should at once secure from any re-
liable druggist a two-ounce original
bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (full
strength).
BY using this powerful, yet harm
less germicide treatment improvement
Is noticed in a few days and by its
regular use swollen veins will return
to their normal size and sufferers will
cease to worry. Moone's Emerald Oil
treatment is used by physicians and
in hospitals and is guaranteed to ac-
complish results or money returned.
1t reduces all kinds of enlarged
glands, goitres and wens and is used
exclusively in many large factories as
an unfailing first aid to the injured
antiseptic. Your druggist can supply
you.-Adv.

the work
Arrangements were made during

TOURS, Central France, Sept. 27.-
Correspondence Of the Associated
Press)-The American army in Europe
creature comforts looked after for
three months if not another pound of
supplies was secured. This was the
statement made here by. officers of
the army Quartermaster's department
which directs the mammoth work of
supplies.
1t gives an idea of the vast stock of
reserve resources stored in the miles
Of warehouses stretching from coast
inland to the fighting lines, and it is
a comforting assurance too that this
huge reserve will be kept up through
the coming winter period SO that the
American soldiers warmth, as well as
his food and clothing, will be looked
after.
It is a huge undertaking to feed a
million men even for single day, a
million men scattered to- thousand
points, in trenches, on battlefelds and
camps, along 300 miles of front and
for a depth of 500 miles And when
are added housing and clothing, and
the period is extended through the
winter mouths, of cold and frost, with
the prospect that another million or
two men may be headed this way be-
fore long, with these elements one gets
some idea of the magnitude of the
supply problem for million or more
men. So.
Here atfhe center of the system.
where the receipts are regulated and
the distribution made, there was an
opportunity of f0arning some of the
details of how the system operates.
$4,000 Pounds Of Potatoes.
In the food branch alone, it takes
over four million pounds Of food everl
day to feed the army. This prodigious
daily consumption of food embraces q
million pounds of -four baked into a
million loaves of bread every day, $751;
900 pounds of fresh beef, $4,000
pounds of potatoes, 100000 pounds of
sugar and 100000 pounds of tomatoes.
The pepper and salt for single day
is 42,50O pounds.
Army coffee is roasted at the rate
Of 10000 pounds day. and it takes
10000 pounds of solicited alcohol to
cook this coffee through the month.
The beef is the bulkiest product
used each day. and occupies a daily
SPACE Of $4,000 cubic feet, or about
the dimensions of business block, OF
solid meat. Flour comes next, requir-
ing $4,000 cubic feet Of daily space,
and potatoes about the same.
These are only few Of the main
items. But the list runs all through
the many requirements OF the oversee
army ration with vast quantities in
each case. Here are some OF the
other daily items:
Bacon 225.000 pounds. beans, $4,000
pounds, rice $4,000 , pounds, onions
100000 pounds. eyaporated fruit TO-.
900 pounds, jam 10000 pounds. milk
$4,000 pounds, vinegar 10000 pounds,
lard 10000 pounds, butter $1,000
pounds. strip 10000 pounds.
Get Full Allowance.
These, being included in the over
sea ration. everyone of the million
men is entitled to his full allowance
and it must go forward to him wher-
ever he is. So that besides the vast
daily stock there is the question Of
