SEEKS SERVICE FOR REVENGE
Harold Bowen Saw cred" When He
Heard Brother Had Been Wound
ed in France.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-When Harold
Bowen of Hartford, S. D., was advised
that his brother, William Bowen, had
been wounded while on the firing line
in France with other American troops,
he Immediately commenced to see
"red," and fastened to Sioux Falls In
an effort to be assigned to early serv-
ice in France so he could avenge the
wounding of his brother.
Harold Bowen was a selective draft
man, and stood well down the list. He
appealed to the local exemption board
in Sioux Falls and begged to be accept
ed into the service at once, out of his
turn, in order that he could get to
France with the least possible delay so
he could kill few Germans.
His plea was accepted by the men,
bers Of the exemption board, and
young Bowen departed to undergo
training at Camp Lewis, Wash, pre-
liminary to being sent to the battle
line in France.

On the top floor Of 641 Washington
street. New York CITY,, is one of the
most interesting kitchens in the world,
presided over by a Chinese woman
doctor. She recently spent six months
in trip to China to study and ana
lyZe the soy bean. DR.. Yamei Kin, for
that is her name, says that the protein
contained in the soy bean is equal to
that Of meat and is of great value to
persons who cannot safely eat meat.
1t is replacer of meat-a sort Of
vegetable cheese. It forms no acid. It
Is an alkaline form Of protein. Com
bined with hash or any form of meat
leavings 1t forms wonderful food
for diabetes, as the curd contains no
starch. When you eat "chop suey,"
"chow mein" and other dishes in Chi
nese restaurants, the salty black
sauce served with the food is made
from soy beans. 1t is by no means
simply q copdiment. 1t is as nutri-
tious as meat gravy. Excellent
cheese can also be made from them.
Doctor Kin says that she can make
roquefort cheese that smells and
looks like the real thing. She says
further that as the public becomes edu-
Gated to the obliging "soy" 1t will take
it's place at the head of the process
sion of American products In all the
world there is not a more misunder-
stood vegetable than the soy bean,
says Doctor Kin.

The navy needed steel for war, thou
sands upon thousands of tons of it,
for construction and other purposes.
1t got steel expert, S. r. Fuller, who
resigned from big Chicago railway
supply concern and went to work in
the bureau Of supplies and accounts
supervising the purchase Of structural
steel forgings and castings for ships
and shipyards.
Gathers in Experts.
The navy needed cotton millions of
yards Of canvas. duck, drill, sheetings,
and uniform cloth. It got w. p. Hoop
er, q cotton mill executive, who imme-
diately severed all connections in his
industry, sold his cotton mill interests,
invested the money in Liberty bonds,
and came into the bureau.
The navy needed transportation on
sea and land. All the problems of
chartering ships for worldwide dis
tribution Of supplies, coal, and pro

trate and shellac coming back in ma.
val vessels were placed in charge OF
Benjamin T. Young, an expert on ship
chartering and ocean transport, who
severed his connection with big New
York shipping concern for the period
of the war. Transportation on land
was taken over by O. M. Ellsworth
who left remunerative position with
a big railway system to enter Uncle
SANS service.
The navy needed chemicals, and
Donald Riley came from large chem
ical concern to take charge of this de
partment. 1t needed industrial &c
counting, and great accounting ma
chinery concern made arrangements
whereby G. S. Ashdown took that &C
tivity in hand, giving all his time tc
the development of accounting sys

to deal with foodstuffs was provided
under F. A. Tillman; another dealing
with lumber under G. M. Morford, anG
another dealing with leather and al

The general standard of ability SCI

that each man must be worth severa
