Subsistence School Menus.
The Subsistence School, in search Of
better diet, evolved the following
menus for emergency use:
No. 1: Breakfast-Fresh fruit, oatmeal
mush, milk, bread, butter and coffee.
Dinner-Liver and onions with boiled
potatoes and stewed tomatoes, or NUT
ton stew, bread. jam and coffee.
No. 2: Breakfast-Stewed dried fruit,
cornmeal mush, bread. butter or Jam.
milk and coffee. Dinner-Beef with
Drowned potatoe,, carrots, onions and
cabbage slaw, or frankfurters and sauer-
kraut and bread. jam. tea.
No. g.: Breakfast-Beef hash. bread.
butter and coffee. Dinner-Baked
beans. cabbage slaw, bread, butter, cof-
fee or milk.
1HtSc meals, representing superior
nutrition values, necessarily would cost
more than an average OF Z cents per
Gay. They are recommended for use
in communities with slightly larger
funds available for relief feeding.
A sample United States Army menu
for one day is as follows:
Breakfast-Florida oranges, oatmeal,
sugar and milk, corned beef hash, toast,
butter and coffee.
Dinner-Rice and tomato soup, crou-
tons, boiled ham with cabbage, head
lettuce salad, hot corn bread, plum
duff and coffee.
Supper-Irish stew, tea buns, butter,
jelly and tea.
Meals of these types may be served
at 40 cents day and represent the
Army ration ideal of approximately
4,4O0 calories. A group of 100 men is
presumed in figuring cos.s.

Diet Worked Out by Army
Survey in Chicago In
c|uded in Report.

In study OF emergency relief rations
and methods of relief feeding, prepared
by the QuartermaSter Corps Subsistence
School of the United States Army, at
the instance of Maj. Gen. J. l.. De Witt,
quartermaSter general, the results of in
vestigationS made at Chicago during the
earlier period of the depression are dis
cussed.
This treatise" Gen. De Witt ex-
plains, has been prepared to meet the
demand of and for the purpose of fur
nishing guide for civil or military per-
sonnel engaged in emergency relief feed
ing of masses and individual families.
In emergency relief feeding of the
civil population during times OF distress
two major factors must be considered,
viz: The feeding Of masses through the
SO-called bread line or soup kitchen
methods and the supplying of necessary
food for use Of individual families.
Food Value First Consideration.
Soup and coffee will keep a person
alive, but more than that is required.
The importance of health protecting
foods has been established as a fact,
and this feature of the diet can be dis
regarded only with the certain knowl-
edge that harmful results will follow.
first consideration is to secure the min
imum requirements of proteinS and
calories; after this is done sufficient
carbohydrates and fats in approx
mately correct proportions are added
to supply the CalOric requirements. The
balance in other respects is secured by
selecting foods which furnish adequate
quantities of vltaminS, minerals and
bulk.
All of these factors must be con-
s!dered In arriving at a decision as to
what shall be fed to masses or to In
divioual families by relief ganiza
tlOnS during times OF distress AS
stated. soup and coffee will keep per-
son alive for a certain length OF time,
but during national distress health
standards must be maintained or Scurvy
and other terrible disasters will befall
the people A balanced ration is an
absolute necessity If the emergency
exists for any considerable period Of
time
The report, as submitted by Gen. De
Witt. hold that In the case OF the
civil population consideration is not linn
tied to healthy men doing hard work,
but it is necessary TO consider men,
women and children CT varying weights,
in all states Of health or iu-health, who
have been accustomed TO work calling
for the expenditure of varying amounts
of energy and who have been accus-
toned to food which. in many cases.

Long a cripple confined to wheel

ever being able to do anything for his
family. Because of his condition he
had become respondent and even mo-
rose. Then came the opportunity to
take training in the use of his hands.
Now his whole outlook on life has
changed. For the first time in years he
sees a chance at least to earn his
keep" While the depression has cut
down the demand for his wares he still
hopes that with the coming of better
times business will pick up. Meantime
he is ambitious that his children shall
have an education. All six of them are
now in school and the time is not far
distant when two of the older ones
should be able to contribute to the sup

At one time the j. family was well
of Mr. J. had almost paid for small
modern dwelling in the residential sec
ton of the city. He owned a small
clothing store and did fairly well until
the depression came on. His main con-
cern was caring for his wife, who was
suffering from heart trouble, and his
four youngsters. ranging from to 9
years of age. In 1929, however, bust
ness became slow. Mr.. j. was no longer
able to keep up the mortgage on his
property and the mortgage on 1t was
eventually foreclosed. In order to meet
the bills of his business Mr.. j. borrowed
from every source, and when his cred
itors pressed him he became frantic.
FIe knew only one thing-that his wife
and children must not suffer.
He began passing checks. Things
vent along smoothly until the bank
brought the matter into court. Mr.. j.
is now serving sentence. His wife
and four children still must be cared
for Mrs. J. has heart trouble and it
is impossible for her to work. even if
Job could be found. She hesitates to
accept assistance. but she is helpless
and knows she must depend on some
one to see her through this crucial
period. Mrs. J. is a good manager and

Washington.-The sinanthropus, or
Picking man, whose bones were found
near Peking, China, is the most primi-
tive member Of the human family Of
which skeleton remains have been
found.
This was attested by DR.. G. Elliott
Smith, noted English anthropologist,
in the annual report of the Smithsoni-
an institution. He said:
while geological evidence shows
that Sinanthropus must have lived
many hundred thousands of years ago,
in the early Pleistocene or Ice. age,
anatomical study of the remains shows
this creature to have been probably
closer to the main line Of descent of
modern man than any whose remains
have been found"

National Defense Bill
Cut Under 600 Millions

will run below $6OO,0OO,O00 during the
1884 fiscal year If estimates now be-
ing prepared by the bureau Of the
budget are enacted into law at the

has been reduced to slightly above
$500, 100000, while that of the army
will be considerably below $500, 000,O 600
1 According to a recent report of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
American national defense expedi-
lures for the. 1881 fiscal year were
$685.. 100000. During the current fiscal
year appropriations for national de-
Tense, counting new shore stations,
military posts, and new warship con-
struction, amounted to 1914, 100000.
On the basis of confidential figures not
yet released for publication the appro-
priations to be asked for national de-
tense in 1884 will amount to around
$5sO,OOO,OOO.
For the most part the reductions
will be effected through cutting GER
tain classes of pay, curtailment Of
new construction activities, and a gem
eral Tightening up on expenditures. A
few shore activities and army posts
will be closed. hut very little saving
is anticipated through this avenue Of
