saw the sleeping child. And God

mas and as the Americans were be-
ing paid off for the first time in three
months, they persuaded their COM
mander TO let them all go to Rome
and Naples and gorge themselves.
There they engaged in veritable food
orgies. They bought candy and nuts
and cake by fve-pound lots, retiring
to their rooms to eat after taking
regular restaurant meals. Some of
the men were reported to have eaten
six meals day.
One of the features of the reception
given at Rome by Ambassador Thos.
Nelson Page and Mrs Page at the
Palazzo del Drago to the young mel.
was spread of cake and candy
weighing down several tables. Altho'
all present ate freely from the tables,
their appetites seemed merely to have
been whetted, for they were later
found standing out in front of candy
stores eating more cake and candy.
Several started to mass at st. Peters
but were unable to get any farther
than restaurant facing the church.

AMERICANS ON A CANDY ORGY
Experiences of Young Men at an
Aviation Camp in Southern
italy

American Aviation Camp, Southern
Italy Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press).-The food problem re-
Gently attained the dignity of crisis
here. When the United States gov
eminent arranged for the training of
Americans here, it was agreed that
five lire per day should be paid for
the feeding of each aviation officer in
the making, a sum amply equal to
advanced food prices, considering the
several hundreds of men to be fed. A
contract to feed the men was let to a
local restaurant proprietor but he be-
came imbued with the idea that Am
orleans have plenty of money and are
anxious to spend it. For many weeks
the Americans, absorbed in their
training, accepted the food given
them. They merely went down into
their own pockets and patronized the
candy stores of the city, its restau-
rants, but particularly the canteen
where the Italian soldiers of the
camp spent their money for drinks,
sandwiches and omelets.
Gradually the price of canteen pro-
ducts rose SO high the Italian soldiers
were unable to patronize it and COM
planned to their officers. These latter
investigated jointly with the Ameri-
can officers, with the result that can
teen prices were reduced $50 per cent
and the contractor in charge of the
American mess had to beg to be given
a chance to hold his contract.
This happened just before Christ

BELTS CAUSE MUCH
 ABDOMINAL TROUBLE
Examination of Drafted Men Proves Contention of Famous
 Surgeon.

1 New York, Jan 3.-After examining
 more than 100000 drafted men, local | physicians have come to the conclu- l sion that certain famous Rochester surgeon was right when he condemned l the modern practice of wearing belts. The chief of one of the examining boards today summarized the opinions
 arrived at by himself and his fellow physicians:
 Until we were forced to examine
 hundreds of thousands of men," he
 said, "I never took the question seri-
 ously of whether it was better>to wear
 belt or suspenders. Now. 1 know that this is a very vital question, and that the innocent belt is responsible for l many of the abdominal troubles so prevalent in this country.
 start at the beginning. Fifteen
 years ago you hardly ever heard of appendicitis. Fifteen years ago nearly 90 per cent of American men wore
 suspenders, thus leaving their abdo-
 mems free and uncontracted. Then
 came the fad of wearing belts and
 appendicitis operations became more
 common. Before the advent of the
 belt you seldom heard of stomach
 troubles and when they did happen they were usually the result of over- indulgence. Nowadays more men are
 wearing belts than wear suspenders, and it is almost the exception to find
 a man who has no trouble with his
 abdominal regions.
 There is no excuse for using belt to keep the trousers up and constrict the stomach. It is almost disloyal to wear belts since cloth conservation as demanded by the government calls for the elimination of cuffs about the ankles. Smart men all know that the best way to make cuffless trousers look right is to hold them up with suspenders. They avoid the 'sus.
 pendered look by wearing the under the-shirt invisible kind which work in
 secret, as it were. Then everyone
 knows that shoulders were given men to carry weight from. There are more than 20,OOOO00 soldiers in the field
 who carry practically all their equip
 ment on various kinds of suspenders, even their cartridge belts being sus- pended from their shoulders. "American men should drop the belt. | Suspenders will mean increased eff
 ciency, better health and longer lives,
 and l expect to see them increase it's
 use. They were good enough for our fathers and now we know the old gentlemen weren't so foolish as we 1 thought
 Proof that this physicians state ments ring true are afforded by the 1 increased number of New Workers who
 are forsaking belts and going in for | better digestions and fewer surgical
 operations.
