On the tenth day we again met our
friends "Hommes 40, CheveauX s."
Thirty-six hours more of misery, and
we arrived at the town of l..
After unloading our ratOns and
equipment, we lined up on the road in
columns of tours waiting for the order
to march.
A dull rumbling could be heard. The
sun was shining. l turned to the man
on my left and asked, "What's the
noise, Bil?" He did not know, but his
face was Of a pea-green color. jim,
on my right, also did not know, but
suggested that l "awsk" the sergeant,
Coming towards us was an old griz-
zled sergeant, properly fed up with
the war, so "awsked" him.
"Think it's going to rain, sergeant?"
He looked at me in contempt, and
grunted, COWS it a-goin' ter rain with
the bloomln' sun a-shlnin'Y l looked
guilty.
"Them's the guns up the line, me
lad, and you'll get enough Of 'em be-
fore you gets back to Blighty."
Ny knees seemed to wilt and l
squeaked out weak "Ohw
Then we started our march up to the
line in ten-kilo tricks. After the first
days march we arrived at our rest
billets. In France they call them rest
bllets, because while in them Tommy
works seven days a week and on the
eighth day of the week he Is given
twenty-four hours "on his own"
Our billet was a spacious affair, a
large barn on the left side Of the road,
which had one hundred entrances,
ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and
rain, and the hundredth one for Tom
my. l was tired out, and using my

until a piece of shrapnel hits iD, or
tin hat, for pillow, lay down in the
straw, and was soon fast asleep. l
must have slept about two hours, when
l awoke with a prickling sensation all
over me. AS I thought, the straw had
worked through my uniform. l woke
up the fellow lying on my left who had
been up the line before, and asked
him.
Does the straw bother you, mate?
It's worked through my uniform and /
can't sleep"
In a sleepy voice he answered,
"That amt straw, them's Coolies"
From that time on my friends the
"cooties" were constantly with me.
"CoOties," or body lice are the bane
of Tommy's existence.
The arlstocracy Of the trenches very
seldom call them Coolies" they speak
Of them as fleas.
To an American flea means q small
insect armed with bayonet, who Is
wont to jab 1t into you and then hop
skip and jump to the next place to be
attacked. There Is an advantage In
having fleas on you instead Of "coOties"
in that in one of his extended jumps
said flea is liable to land on the fell
low next to you; he has the typical
energy and push of the American,
while the "cOotie" has the bulldog
tenacity of the Englishman; he holds
on and consOlidates or digs in until
his meal is finished.
There is no way to get rid of them
permanently. No matter how often
you battle, and that Is not very often,
or how many times you change your
underwear your friends the "cooties"
are always in evidence. The billets are
infested with them, especially so if
! there is straw on the floor.

WILL BE BIG DEMAND FOR
CORN MEAL THIS YEAR

Atlanta. Feb. 9.-The old Southern
cornmeal has, with a sweep of a pen,
become nations staff of life"
Information coming to DR.. Andrew
M. Soule, Federal Food Administra-
tor for Georgia, from Administrators
all over the country shows conclu-
sively coming universal use of corn
meal in quantity which will demand
an enormously increased yield of
corn to meet actual demand in early
time to come.
A number of impressive illustra-
tons of the immediate demand for
corn meal has come to DR.. Soule's Of
fce. One of particular interest is that
of typical American solution de-
vised by one of the largest milling
and distributing farms in New York
for meeting the $3.50 Victory plan"
and at the same time to solve the
transportation problem.
Following the Presidents Procla-
nation of January 9th, urging the
use of other cereals in place of flour
this firm placed an order in the
South for 10000 barrels of cornmeal.
Instead of having this shipped by
rail it was requested that the cargo
be placed upon coast-wise steamer
and the cornmeal is now on its way
to New York.
This firm, which is loyalty support
ing the Food administration, comes
forth with the suggestion that firms
in cities north of the Mason-Dixon
line and on the Atlantic seaboard can
assist in relieving freight congestion
by following similar plans. Rice, -four
and other produce can now be ship
ped from New Orleans to New York
/ by sea at saving of approximately
| onethird in the freight charges, and
the time consumed should not ex-
coed five or six days. Due to the
freight congestion in the east, it is
likely that shipments made by sea
will reach their destination in the
| North Atlantic States i'll less time
than would be required for shipments
by rail. The Food Administrator is
ready to assist food merchants in
making this means of transportation
available.

WHEATLESS DAYS

Victory Bread may be sold for
consumption on the two wheatless
days the President has proclaimed,
but the bakers will find it to their ad-
vantage to develop special breads
containing more than twenty per cent
of wheat -four substitutes for sale at
such time, the Food Administration
believes.
Other bakery products, such as
sweet yeast dough goods, crackers,
pies, cakes, pastry and fried cakes
which bear the name Victory or con-
tain more than one-third of wheat
flour substitutes may also be sold
for consumption on wheatless days in
public eating places. Skillful bakers
are now making these products sue
cessfully with only enough wheat
flour to serve as binder.
In issuing the new regulations the
Food Administration expresses COM
plete confidence in the patriotism of
the bakers of the country and declares
its certainty that the response to the
new regulations will be as ready and
generous as it was in December.
THE Allies find their supply of
breadstufs running low" the Ad-
ministration statement says, ut is inn
perative that we send them an in
creased amount of -four to strengthen
the fighting lines and keep alive the
men and women of France and Eng
land, Italy and Belgium who for more
than three years have had to bear
terrible privations of war. More
flour is also needed by our soldiers
abroad. To send them and the Allies
the flour required, bakers and house
wives must loyalty join in using large
Quantities Of wheat -four substitutes"

WHEN YOU PAY YOUR RENT
BUY A THRIFT STAMP

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 9-When you pay
your rent, buy thrift stamp!
That is now the slogan in all At
lanta real estate and renting agencies,
following the action of the Real Es-
tate Board in launching an organized
drive to help the sale of War Saw
ing Samps.
Every person who pays his or her
rent is invited to buy stamp, and
a number of the real estate dealers
have announced a standing offer that
they will accept 500 worth of Saw
ing Certificates as first payment on
the purchase of a home.
One hundred thousand men, women
and children in Georgia is the goal of
One Hundred Dollar Club being or
ganized by Robert F. Shedden a
prominent Atlanta insurance man as
signed to this feature of the work by
Hugh Richardson, director of thrift
stamp sales in Georgia. Every boy
and girl is equally as eligible for
membership in the club as are the
grownups, and it is quite probable
that juvenile members will exceed
senior members in number.

COLLEGES FITTING GIRLS
FOR PRACTICAL SERVICE

Atlanta, Ga, February 9.-That the
trend of modern education for girls
is more and more toward the goal of
fitting them for the practical service
they are called on to render in a world
whose man power has been tremen-
dously reduced by the war, is strik-
ingly illustrated in the courses of
study just announced by Elizabeth
Mather College of this city, which,
while a fashionable private school
for girls. is different from the usual
type of similar institutions by reason
OF the special emphasis it lays on
practical training in efficiency. The
students of Elizabeth Mather can de-
vote herself to aesthetic dancing and
French and voice culture if she elects
but there is also open an arrange
ment of practiacl courses in such SER
vices as costume designing, house
hold management and sanitation,
metal work, millinery. pottery and
many others. Established little over
two years ago by Miss Blanche G..
Loveridge. the school has experience
ed remarkable growth by reason of
the increasing training of their daugh-
tiers.
