 Will Eat Chicken E7 OUR million pounds of frozen
 O chicken, bought by Uncle Sam for our soldiers abroad, may reconcile them to staying away from home a
 few months longer This dainty will
 supplement "co4ned Willie" and "gold fish," staple articles of diet with the
 American expetlitionary forces. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with
 army slang, it may be stated that "corned Willie' is canned corned beef
 and "gold fish" is the name applied
 to salmon.
 According to Charles B. Ford of the
 Chicago Butter and Egg board, the army authorities have discovered that frozen chicken lis more economical,
 convenient and nourishing" than the ration as constituted at present. The chickens will be shipped in refrigera- tor cars and cold storage boats and
 the fact that they will have reached the ripe age of twelve months or more
 on ice before they are served in France
 and along the Rhine will not make
 them any less appetizing Modern re- Ifrigeration works wonders, and the
 army will have ,sharp-eyed inspectors
 on hand to see that each bird is fit
 for consumption.
