What 1t Takes
To Maintain Our
Troops In France

yfHw
To maintain the American army In
France one hundred pounds Of gross
tonnage a day must be landed at
French ports for each man, according
to Captain Earl ]. Zimmerman, exec
utive officer in the depot quartermas-
ter's departmnt at Chicago.
"The American people have no
conception of the quantity of supplies
needed for the men over there said
Captain Zimmerman, NOR of the diff
ficulty in getting it to them. For ex-
ample it takes 23,0O0000 pounds of
frozen beef each month to feed mil
lion soldiers"
In explaining the food supply OF the
American soldiers abroad and the
manner in which it must be sent, Cap
tain Zimmerman gave general pic
ture of the difficulties Of the quarter
masters corps in constantly maintain
ing sufficient quantity of food.
According to his statement, the
men in France are on garrison ra-
tion"-the same as soldiers at canton
ments in this country This ration is
five pounds man, each day. This
weight, however, includes eating uten-
sils and container For a million
men 15O,OOo,OO6 pounds Of rations a
month are required, amounting to
1000 car loads
| A list of the food required for 9
million men for thirty days would in
clude the following:
23,0OO,OOO pounds of frozen beef.
37,5O0,O00 pounds Of flour.
100000 pounds of bacon.
/ 100000 cans of beef.
100000 cans corned beef.
100000 cans corned beef hash.
100000 pounds Of sugar.
2,4O0,0OO pounds of coffee.
$4,000 pounds Of butter.
At all times, Captain Zimmerman
said, a thirty days supply is main
tanned in France.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN

Don't mistake notoriety for fame.
Don't let others spend the money
you earn.
Don't do work unworthy of you if
you can avoid it.
Don't say II am a gentleman" it is
never necessary.
Be loyal to death to those who have
befriended you.
When you assist the needy, don't
do it ostentatiously.
Silence is the best weapon to use
against a vulgar and spiteful tongue.
In ninety-nine cases in hundred
the man you wish dead outlives you.
Don't introduce a lady's name
where you wouldn't introduce the
lady.
Don't count much on friendship
F, formed in cafes. They never turn
l out we'll.
| Remember impertinence isn't wit
any more than insolence is brilliancy
If young men will not believe in
themselves, no man or woman can be
lieve in them
Don't indulge in the luxury oil
strong opinions in the presence oil
your elders and betters.
If you haven't the moral courage
to laugh at sneerers, then you are
another of natures mistakes.
Don't talk about what you are go
ing to do, then, if you fail to accom-
plish it, nobody will know.
If you learn that people say spite
full, wicked things about you, and I'm
truthful things, be silent.
1t isn't very nice thing for
young man, or anyone for that mat
ter, to smile in a superior way at lie
norance.
Do not be afraid to go near you
enemy. The nearer you get to
kicking horse, the less damage |
done to your person.

COURAGE

Ii the other fellows smilin' as he
takes the windin road,
II he's jestin with his comrades as
he shifts his heavy load,
II You think he's free from sorrow
and that life is endless joy.
You are wrong. He has his troubles
just like you and |, my boy.
If YOU feel that you're forsaken and
that life's not worth the fight,
AS you grope your lonely pathway
through the blackness of the
night;
Ii you drink down to the bottom
lifes full cup of bitter rue,
DC not let it break your manhood
let your aching heart be true.
For the other fellows smilin' just to
hide the pain that 1ies
III his heart and oft is bringin' scald-
in tear drops to his eyes;
So reach out your hand in greetin'
give him back a smile for smile
For his shoulders bear a burden all
along each dusty mile.
Never night so black and crushing
but that soon the eastern skies
Show the touch of changing crimson
as the sun begins to rise;
Aud God never sent the storm clouds
in the winter of the soul
But that summer followed after. witt
its sheaves of garnered gold.
Sn look up and keep on smilin' a

And don't let the old world know .

End of the Beer Industry.

It took the fuel administration, the food admnis- tration and the war priorites board a long time to find out that beer making not only non essen tial industry, but extremely wasteful one. The government urged year ago to stop the manu- facture of beer as a measure. Then there fol- lowed the usual hesitation that has marked gov ernmental proceedings.
 There appeared last winter statement officially compiled of figures taken from various New England industries by which 1t shown that more fuel was consumed in manufacture of beer than in any of the other industries named It also shown that the number of employed in the breweries and the aggregate wages received by them ptfully small in comparison with the number of men employed and their wages in industries using much less fuel.
 Yet all this time under our beneficent fuel admin istraon the breweres were running full blast while in all cities in midwnter there were heatless days schools were closed and churches were tenantess There suffering throughout the land And all this time we were straining every other nerve to get enough coal fill the bunkers of waiting laden ships with supplies for starving Europe. Yet the breweres were still held sacred. The people might shiver and Europe might starve little longer that the amber stream from the breweries might without inter- ruption.
 < But it is to be stopped suddenly, that is to Say, December 31. Whether that would have been done without the certainty of the enactment of time prohibition legislation cannot But it is almost certain that without this order the breweries would not continued operation beyond December 3l. It is stated that there is two months sup ply of beer on hand six months supply would probably be accumulated within the next three and Half months, and six months supply is all the breweries we'll need after December 31.
 The order, therefore it will be will afford
 much less relief than such an order would have af- forded a year ago.
 The breweres will consume great deal of badly needed fuel within the next three and half months. and great deal of badly needed grain and will with Hold from useful industry great deal of manpower. But they will probably waste more than they would have wasted if the fuel administration the food ad- ninistration and the priorties board had not acted. About December S1 the breweries would have heen automatically closed There would have been no good for keeping them open to manufacture product for which there would be market after the following June 31.
