AMERICAN SOLDIER
GAINED AN AVERAGE
OF IL POUNDS IN WAR
Soldiers Who Fought Against Spain in 1898 Lost Twenty
two Pounds, Report Says

to the invention of portable roast
ers capable of handling several tons
q day.
Noting that tobacco has estab-
lished its claim to a recognized place
in the soldiers life," the report says
probably 80 per cent. of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Force used the
weed in one form or another.
Monthly shipments averaged co.
100000 cigars and $4,000, 900 ciga-
rets.
The soldiers sweet tooth was salts
fed by monthly shipment of S00.-
600 pounds of candy during the early
part of the war, but this increased.
in November, 1918, to 1,373,300
pounds. and in the following month
the War Department made candy q
part of the regulation issue, 1h
pounds being issued to each man
every month. A close companion in
population was chewing gum, more
than 100000 packages q month be-
ing consumed.
Clothing Demands
More than half of the Fifth Lib
erty Loan would be required to pay
for the clothing and uniform equip
ment of the American Army. One
chapter of the report gives a short
history of the events which led the
government finally to take over the
domestic wool clip and to comman-
deer the output of practically every
factory.
Interesting statistics are given OF
economics effected by changes in
design. For instance elimination OF
lacings and eyelets in trousers saved
s17.000,000 and redesigning of the
coat cut the cost of these garments
s5,00O,000. Expert cutting reduced
the consumption of cloth 2S-100 of q
yard and saved 100000 yards on
the total order. Cotton textiles pro-
duced for the Army would furnish a
strip three feet wide and of suffi-
cient length to wrap eighteen layers
around the equator.
Innovations resulting from short
ages in material included the sub
stitution of American dyes for the
German product and the use OF
vegetable "ivory" in button max
ing.
The activities of the quartermaster
corps afterwards taken over large
ly by the Bureau of Purchases, Stor-
age and Supply, included also the
furnishing of hats, shoes, boots, fuel,
oil, paints, tools harness and har-
ness equipment and even music.
Prominent composers volunteered
for the work of selecting balanced
ration" of jazz and more restrained
orchestrations for the Army bands.
To give the American aviator the
surest fuel possible, the department
took over every drop of 1857 degree
fighting naptha" and confined its use
to the service planes actually on the
front.
Conservation OF shipping space re-
suited in the revolutionizing of pack
ing methods. Clothing was COM
pressed into bales, shoes shipped in
bags and trucks were dissembled
and Grated. The New York Baling
Plant, according to the report, saw
ed the government $55,000,000 in
tonnage expenditures.

SIXTEEN CANTONMENTS
AND FIFTEEN TENT CITIES
BUILT IN NINETY DAYS
No Feat of Construction Has Ever Approached Prepara-
tions For Concentrating American Armies in the War

parade grounds and rife and artil-
lery ranges.
The creature comforts enjoyed by
the American soldier of 1917 is con-
trasted with those afforded the man
of '61-'65. Substantial barracks,
heated by steam or stoves. took the
place of tents; chemically pure
water replaced that secured from
the casual spring or stream: scien-
tific laundries cared for the national
army recruits clothing. and field
bakeries gave him the modern sue
cessor to the ashy hoe-cakes.
Lumber used IN the cantonments
alone, the report says, was equiva-
lent to a board walk IL inches wide
and one inch thick Ito the moon
and half way back" while the nails
of one popular size would ''girdle
the earth three and a half times
The race between the contractors
to complete the cantonments in the
time for the initial draft is eloquent
ly described, the builder of Camp
Taylor, Louisville, KY, winning by
a narrow margin. The cantonments
occupied 1874 acres of land,
which cost an average of $s.s3 per
acre, and the contractors profits are
given as less than two and half
per cent of the gross cost of con-
struction.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie. and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an apund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle OF dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsiiiel cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.
