MANY ATTRACTIONS
STAGED IN THE AZ
CAMP THEATRES.

There are now AZ theatres, which
cost over 100000, in operation in
camps and contonements throughout
the country. Nearly 100 vaudeville
acts have been brought from the
large circuits to play these theatres
only; about so acts have been Sc
cured from Chautauqua and lyceum
bureaus; IS comedy companies are
playing in these theatres exclusively.
Some of these are original New York
companies, playing the summer sea-
son only, with expenses reduced to
about two-thirds.
The camps have been divided into
two circuits. In one the Liberty
theatre seats 5000, in the other the
houses are smaller, having capacity
of about 900 each. 1t takes from
IA to rs weeks for production to be
staged in each house of either cir
cult.

IMMENSE STORES
NEEDED TO FEED
MEN ON TRANSPORTS.

An account of how soldiers are fed
az sea is iven in the daily newspaper
published on transport;
Outside of providing 100000
meals ia sea, the mess officer of the
ship has very little to do. Very lit
tie.
He is only called upon to provide,
by the regulations, 1870 different va
rieties of food. That's ALL Ever try
to order 1870 different things to eat?
Yet this is the authentic list
The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get the
answer in the ship down below the
water line, where 1920 loaves OF
bread have been baked in one day,
and where you stumble over every
variety, from 10000 pounds of beef
to 10000 eggs, or compartment
Of brick ice cream in ten-degree
above zero vault.
And if this doesn't suit, you can
bump along into 1924 pounds of
patotoes, 100 pounds of ham and
bacon, 1900 pounds of butter, g.
200 pounds of sugar, and 61,500
pounds of flour.

ARMY MEDICAL DEPT.
DECLARES WAR ON FLIES
AND MOSQUITOES.

Special attention is being given by
the Medical Department of the Army
iii all camps to cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed.
in some cases it has been necessary
to dig channels in streams, drain
swamps, and put in elaborate ditch
ing systems to clean up stagnant pools
ard streams. In cases where it has
been impossible or impracticable to
drain swamps and do similar work,
there has been installed system for
keeping slow moving streams. and
still bodies of water covered with oil.
At all points within the camp where
there is the slightest possibility of
mosquitoes or flies breeding daily
spraying Of oil is done.
Arrangements have been completed
with the Federal Public Health Ser
vice to carry out a similar program
in the territories adjacent to the va
rious camps. The Health Service has
agreed to fill Dogs, open streams, and
drain swamps, and continue the oil
spraying for distance of / mile
around each camp.
Special precautions have been ia
ken to prevent the spread of disease
by flies. Instructions were given on
the disposal of materials that were
likely to become breeding spots.
Arrangements were made to protect
all food from flies. With this end in
view, all buildings in which food is
Prepared or stored were screened.
Entrances to the buildings have all
been vestibuled. An average of 5000
flytraps have been placed in each of
the camps, More than 22,7O0,0OO
square. feet of screening has been
placed in all camps.

FOOD RATIONS TO BE
CARRIED IN
CAS-PROOF CONTAINER.

The Quartermaster's Department
is now supplying gas-proof food con-
tanners to the soldiers in the zone Of
operations in France. These con-
tainers prevent seepage of gas INTO
the containers and guard against
contamination of the food. The
men carry their emergency raticns
in the containers and all food brought
up to the trenches is carried in the
new tins.
After the food is packed in the
containers they are Theoretically
sealed. 1t is planned to use para
fine for sealing as it settles in the
crevices in such way that it must
be cut before the lids can be taken
off. 1t can be applied by running
the containers through paraffine
bath.
Because the supply of tin is
limited and there may not be enough
to supply the needs of the Army
the Quartermaster's Department is
experimenting with the wax paper
box. Tests made show that these box
es meet all conditions satisfactorily
The tins and boxes both are vermin
and water proof.

RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION
MAKES PROVISION FOR
WHEAT HANDLING

The box car situation is better at
present than it has been at any time
during the last three years, accord
ing to advice received by the De-
partment of Agriculture from the
Railroad Administration.
On May one box car began to move
into wheat territory, and wheat car
rying roads are expected to have on
on their lines more than the normal
amount of cars owned by them. Cars
are being parked in wheat loading
territory, which was impossible last
year. The Railroad Administration
will continue to move cars into wheat
districts as long as there is any in
dication that additional cars will be
needed.

MONEY INSTEAD OF
MERCHANDISE SHOULD
BE SENT TO SOLDIERS

The ORIGINAL order that the APP
proval of regimental or higher COM
mander was necessary before pack
ages might be sent to members of
the expeditionary forces has been
modified so officers with the rank
of major and higher may approve
shipments. The approval of a COM
pany commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment Of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the War Department
when the commanding general of the
expeditionary forces cabled that con-
gestion of such articles had reached
such point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary OF
War and the Postmaster General ex-
amined 5000 sacks of parcel post ar
ticles, and found that the articles
being sent not only, in the main, were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesi-
rable. The investigation showed that
the amount of such mail had reached
a total Of 100000 pounds week,
and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends according to
recent statement by the War De-
partment, will find they often can do
a greater service to. soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase OF
articles. Tobacco is now being sup
piled as part of the Army rations,
and merchandise of nearly all kinds
may now be purchased in France
through the huge general store es-
tahlished by the Quartermaster
Corps at lower prices than charged
by retailers here.

DENTAL CORPS OF ARMY
CAN TAKE CARE OF
5000, 900 MEN.

The dental requirements of an ar
my of more than 100000 men can
now be met by the present force of
the dental corps of the United
States Army. Examinations have
been closed and no further additions
VIII be made to the corps for some
time, The number of dental officers
has expanded since war was declared
from SO to $50. Commissions
wei e offered to 5,467 dentists in all
psrts of the country, and all but 271
were accepted.
The average number of tooth fill
lings in the army ranges from 1885,
900 to 250,000a month. Special dem
tai infirmaries have been established
in the camps and contonments, to
which newly indicted soldiers are sent
for examination shortly after arri-
val in the camps.
A school for dental instruction has
been established, where 85 officers
ere assigned each month to take the
2-months course.

SNOW FALL IN GERMANY.

According to dispatch snow has
fallen in Germany and is from one
to three inches deep in some places.
The frfost has also ruined fruit trees.
This is the beginning of the end
we hope and it is even encouraging
to knew that the German people will
not be able to live on fruit this year,
and of course just as soon as our boys
go to Berlin we can send the fruit to
