Soldiers Now Are Being Taught
How to Grow and Handle Food

establishment Of schools in various
parts of the country. where a soldier
can learn the various principles of
these several industries.
Secretary of War Baker has prom
ised the farm. stock-raising and dairy
interests not only to reduce to a mini
mum recruiting for the Army in rural
communities. but also to give to re-
crults from manufacturing centers
every opportunity to become skilled
agricultural workers. by taking the
farm courses in these schools. These
schools are now in full operation. and
the agriculturally inclined soldier can
learn anything from agronomy to
zoology. If he has a mind.
The unskilled boys who wish to go
back to the farm better equipped for
their jobs can learn scientific dairying,
or how to keep beef. how to tell good
feed from bad. and how to inspect car
casses for all the different things which
go to the makeup of a supply of good.
wholesome meat for the consumer. A
fact which perhaps not everybody real.
ICES is that not all the boys who left
home to fight the Hun busted them
selves with bayonet and bomb. Some
did their bit with can opener and carver.
They were the lads in the Veterinary
Corps. who handled the one and a half
billion pounds of Army beef and dairy
products bought by the United States
for the soldiers during the war.
Soldiers at the school take a five
month course. They have practical
work in the inspection of meat and food.

They learn the purchase, storage. ship
ment and issue of food supplies. and the
proper sanitation of packing plants.

NHE tide of immigration, which
was checked during the great
war, is setting strong toward

TINE tide of immigration. which
was checked during the great
war. is setting strong toward
the United States today. Not
many months ago there were those on
the one side who demanded that a
law be enacted by Congress putting a
stop to all immigration during the
next two or three or even five years
on the ground that a horde Of I'M
desirable foreigners would pour in.
On the other side were those who
feared that immigration had halted
of its own accord TO such an extent
that the growing industries of Amer
lea might be crippled for lack OF
labor. The story told by the immi-
grafton bureau records of recent
months, however, sets at rest the
fears OF the latter.
The bureau estimates that during
August the immigration into the
United States reached $4,000 persons.
and during July. $4,000. The same
bureau figures that the number of
persons leaving the United States to
return to their homes in Europe
either for a visit or for keeps" dur
ing August was $4,000. and during
July. $4,000.
What the Figures Show.
The figures for April, May and June
Of this year. however. have been
checked up and corrected, and they
show that the incoming persons in

and in June, s1,49s, while the out

ond section of his menu-tWo
medium boiled eggs, one or two
pieces Of crisp bacon, four pieces
Of buttered toast and pot OF
coffee
Those close to the chief execu-
tive say that the serving of this
breakfast has been q cast iron rule
since his occupancy of the White
House, and no one appreciates the
cast iron nature Of it better than
do those responsible for the con-
duct Of the White House kitchen.
Except, as has been mentioned,
during the danger period OF his
sickness, this menu has not been
cut down. At times there have
been additions to the meal. but
never any eliminations. The ad-
ditions have been principally in the
form Of prime offerings Of seasons,
such as a melon and berries. sau-
sage or hot cakes, and waffies.
Upon completion Of the morning
meal the President never fails to
give evidence Of complete satisfac-
ton and a readiness to tackle the
problems Of the day. With his
bundle Of unfinished morning pa
pers he goes to a quiet sunny cor
ner In his study. and unless there
are imperative matters requiring
his immediate attention he spends
the next hour or two in careful
and intensive reading.

Despite the Presidents long ILL
ness and confinement and the
weary tediousness of almost COM
plete isolation. he is today heavier
than at any time during his public
life. The last time he is known to
have been weighed the scales reg
istered 176 pounds. and those who
have been closely watching his
convalescence have no hesitancy in
attributing this condition to his
hearty eating and splendid diges-
ton.
They venture apprehension,
though, should his digestive or
gans fail him, because they realize
the difficulty OF the task that
would be theirs in bringing about
a change in the Presidents morn
ing meal.

The enemy took away $4,000 head

placements have been as follows:
$4,000 cattle. 400 horses and mules

DREsIDENT WILSON eats
r. almost anything for his
lunch or dinner. but re-
garding his breakfast he
is most particular and very in
sistent
With but one or two minor
alterations. his morning meal
menu has been the same for years.
In fact, it has been practically
the same since early manhood,
and 1t was because of this fact
and the Presidents persistency in
the matter that his physicians and
those members Of his family who
were about him during the serious
days of his illness had great Diff
f1culty in getting him to make a
change.
1t required no end Of tactful
suggesting and reasoning to get
him to forego any part of that
all-important morning meal, and
just as soon as his improvement
permitted a little Iaxity in the
matter of diet he demanded the
old familiar menu. With it's
restoration he was apparently
again at peace with the world
and all mankind-with certain
notable exceptions.

This meal which means SO
much to him, would not be con-
sfdered as light or modest by the
average American business man.
He begins the ceremonies with a
tall chilled glass Of orange juice
with raw egg beaten up in it.
This is served to the President
almost Immediately upon his aris-
ing. 1t is while completing his
toilet or during the preparation
incident to being shaved that he
sips slowly at this beverage with
expressed pleasure

First on the menu is a large bowl
of oatmeal. with plenty of milk.
frequently this is followed by
smaller quantity of another cereal.
A recess Of few minutes is then
taken before the remainder Of the
meal is brought on. during which
period the President takes a quick

LEAGUES TASK TO GET
EVERY WOMAN TO VOTE
AT NOVEMBER ELECTION

posters of attractive design. telling
the women to register and reminding
them of the day on which to register,
are displayed by the hundreds.
The women have happy little way
at their luncheons of inviting the
various candidates for office. republic
can. democrat or whatnot, and
letting each of them make a speech.
In this way they retain their nom
partisan position. and at the same
time give the women present an op-
portunity to judge which party they
desire to join.
Out in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh
the league women made a drive on
i the merchants and prevailed upon
them to give their woman employees
an hour ofr-from 10 to II AMIN
which to register on registration day.
The same plan is being adopted in
other cities.
Big Rally at Richmond.

Mrs. Park was there to address the

organization This Is the first time
in history that the hall of delegates
was used for such a meeting.

Carolina was a visitor recently at
the leagues headquarters in Wash
ington. The people of his state were
having their eyes opened since the
ment. 1t used to be the thing in the
Palmetto state to say that suffrage
would make no difference any, way
because the women wouldn't vote.
He declared that the women are reg
istering by the thousands. He men
toned particularly one family where
suffrage had not even been discussed
in the past on the ground that 1t
wasn't quite nice"; yet when he
called at the home the other day. he
said he found that all of the woman
members had registered, including the
mother, woman of sixty-five.
Nebraska Husbands Object.
From Nebraska comes a report that
some of the husbands are objecting
to their wives joining the League of
Women Voters and to their register
ing This is the report Of several
precinct chairmen and their workers.
There is trouble ahead for some Of
these husbands. according to the
league officers. Mrs. A. j. Bowren,
chairman Of the Alabama League of
Women Voters. has sent the following
message TO headquarters:
We had one week in which to
register without enabling laws. and.
as many women registered III that
week as men all told three years ago"
Which is some record for the women.
Tho National League of Women
Voters, according to its own an
nouncements. is in no sense a sepa-
rate political party, nor does it ever
intend to become such a party. On
the contrary. it urges its members to
enroll in the political party Of their
