WHAT A SOLDIER
LONGS FOR WHEN

Piping Hot Meal, a Shave, a
Bath, a Change of Cloth

Main Things He Graves,

Oct. 5.-When a soldier comes out of
battle the things he longs for are a
piping hot meal a shave. a bath.
change of clothing and a real bed.
During the July and August offensive
when the Germans were diven across
the Marine to the Vesle and with the
Americans on the move northward
day and night it was no easy matter
to provide the soldiers with these es-
sentials but day after day the task
was accomplished and in many in
stances the water for bathing pur-
poses was hot.
Further improvement of the sys-
tenn of providing baths for the men
on-the- very edge of the battlefields
is contemplated. American officers
say that the day is not far away when
the rolling shower bath apparatus
will be as common a sight along the
roads back of the lines as are the
rolling kitchens today.
One of the divisions engaged in
the recent fighting used forty eight
showers heads and also a disinfector
in which ttle-soiled clothing was
sterlized.
Even with this meagre equipment
we have been able to keep the fight

fasten back neatly against the belt
with loops over pearl buttons. The

The tops of the pockets turn down
in the same way and r caught with
loops and pearl buttons. The body Of
the ~fawn-colored sweater is of fine
shetland wool in a rather loose stitcn,
the closely-knitted trimmings giving an
effective touch of contrast. Such a
sweater must be made slightly wider

the turning back of the edges in rever
fashion.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL FIBER
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
Piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing LuxurieS.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port Of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told hat it was COM
p~aratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that 1t
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use OF
Injuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tons will be able to go farther afeld
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect, we Will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short rations in Europe ara
not materially increased. If tho Eu-
ropean ration Is to be materially In
creased over the present low amount
it can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the voiun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration Of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser~
walton allowed the Food Administra.
ton to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, unit the
the new crops Of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995.O00 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
/ period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that in
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 400, 900 O of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225.OOO
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross Will Use Lat
est Methods.

Included in the unit Of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
of the leading anti-tuberculosis work
ers of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
DR.. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, is medical director of the
tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh,
and DR.. Robert H. Bishop, the assist
ant director, is secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis League of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner of that
city. DIR. John II. Lowman Of Cleve-
land, a former president of the Ma
tional Association, Is another promi-
nent member Of the unit. Others are
DR.. Robert G. Patterson, secretary Of
the Ohio tuberculosis Association;
Seymour H. Stone, until recently sec
rotary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu-
berculosis League; DR.. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary Of the New York City
Association of tuberculosis Clinics.
and N. A. Nelson, superintendent of the
OllClnudll ADll-4 uOClNulOSAo ACQ6oC
These men and women. at the re-
quest of the Italian government. will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some Of them will be
charged with the establishment of
clinics where people of all ages may
be examined and treated; others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren, and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit Of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign in America that it
has produced specialists of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremittingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by a special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberculo-
sis Association. tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross In its Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.

MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Now Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan of con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program is Of particular signih-
cance as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers OF
the country.
According to reports Of the U. 5.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an Increase in cattle of 10,238,OO0 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January 1 last. In the same
period there was a decrease of S19,OOO
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs or
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1000, 100000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903,172,OO0 pounds,
while for the same months of 1915 the
production was 1,277, $4,000 pounds,
an increase Of over 374,000,000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 In
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1,263,O00,O00 pounds as
against 1,454,O0O,0 900 pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mill
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage In fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its defcien-
cy. AT the same time there will o n
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

FOR ITALY'S BABIES.

Motherhood in Italy just now is not
the Joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends to clothe
the children already in the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
preciated gifts Of the American Red
Gross at this time are the layettes
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists of
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands. so dear
to the heart Of the Italian woman.
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
Chioggia alone.

They have known very well the risks
they were taking-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emegencies, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as sol
diers do. Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit" Of nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them
But see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the stretchers with the
newly wounded are brought in. See
thousands Of them in evacuation hos
pitfalls, base hospitals, co~nvalescent
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them In French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent /;
see them with their specialized skill
In head surgery, or fracture work, or
psychiatry all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambulances unload great
harvests Of wounded. Then we say
the words "Our Nurses" as we say
"Our Soldiers" "Our Sailors" "Our
Marines"
On the night of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost Of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who un-
der order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before. The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
sections kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com
piegne, and so in the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly On,
while the buzz of aeroplanes shook
the air, and the blasting guns shook
the earth.

EASING The CARES
OF SOLDIERS FAMILIES

The ten thousand Home Service Sec
tons of the American Red Cross, in
their work of looking after the fami-
lies of the enlisted men, are doing Won
ders for the morale of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going to
worry about themselves, but If they do
not get cheerful letters from home, or
If anything goes wrong there. they are
going to worry, and that delicate thing
the army men call morale Is going to
be disturbed. 1t is to safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir-
1t of n~eighborliness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was or
ganized.
Over $4,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner of the country,
however remote. Not a town or VII
lage or crossroads that is not within
reach Of the Red Cross not a wife or
child or mother Of a man in service
who cannot claim the ready aid of the
Red Cross workers.
More than $1,000 families of Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors have been re-
lieved of money troubles, legal difficult
ties and worries Of all sorts by the
protecting arm of the Red Cross. If
the allowances Of allotments under the
War Risk Insurance law do not come
the matter is at once referred to Red
Cross Headquarters, taken up with the
proper government bureau and prompt

delay, the family finds itself in need
of money sums are advanced to tide 1t
over until the allotment arrives. Dur
ing July over sixty thousand inquiries
of this kind were received, and more
than a third of these were taken clear
through to headquarters before they
could be Strengthened out

Through three takings Of Belgrade
first when the city was taken by the
A~ustrians, again when it was retaken
by the S%erbians, and still again when
1t was taken back by the Germans and
Austrians together, an American Red

in the operating room. In that first
capture, when nine thousand wounded
crowded the wards and halls and yard

utes, and employing emergencies In
spired by the desperate need of the
moment, they did not know that the
city had been taken until all the
s%tretchers brought Austrian wounded,
and Austrian doctors came to their
relief.
Several hundred women are work
ing owe there in the American Red
Cross canteens. There are about two
hundred Of these c%anteens along the
French and American lines Of COM
munication, and the women are work
ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross
Is also establishing canteens by mill
tary request at a number of Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone of
these canteens has something of the
genius Of home about it; and 1t is
because Of this, no less than the IA
cilities for cleanliness and rest and
refreshment, that the French govern
ment has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies
to the hands of the American Red Cross.
In large numbers women are going
abroad as hospital hut workers, also,
and as social workers for trained
service among the refugees and the
repatriated. At each base hospital the
Red Cross is equipping, as fast IS they
can be built, recreation huts for con-
valescent soldiers.
Clerical workers have steadily in
creased In number for the admins
trative offices. From that original
group of eighteen, which as the first
American Red Cross Commission to
France sailed about June LIST, 1917,
the organization has grown to a work
ing force Of more than 5000 men and
women.
