Army Fare to Be Tops
By Violet Faulkner
S%vWWF
Food Editor

There is an intensive campaign
under way to further improve the
food Of our United States Army.
The fact that We have always had
the finest food Of any army in the
world does not mean the Army is
content to rest on its Iaurels. The
Office Of the Quartermaster General
is working constantly to add inn
proyements and to study food habits
to determine what foods are the
most acceptable TO the greatest
number Of service people.
At the present time there is an
experimental kitchen in operation
at the Pentagon Building, q food
service school at Fort Meade where
men are Taught to be cooks, and at
Fort Myer experiments are under
way to determine food acceptability
by regional desires. To amplify
that statement, II the majority of
the men stationed at given camp
are from the South, then Southern
type foods are introduced into the
menu periodically, for their general
acceptability.
The ofiice Of the quartermaster
general and the Army Ground
Forces work In close cooperation
to. see that the men who are as
signed as cooks have the aptitude,
intelligence and general liking for
the work that is given them in food
preparation. This same method Of
selection applies to mess officers
and stewards, as well as cooks.
To improve the standards Of Army
food still further, right now 10 regu-
lar Army officers are in training in
various hotels In the Eastern area
learning by actual experience how

for the face to be introduced at
this date. We've tried this cream
wafer makeup and it's all they said

THE DAILY DIP: Now let US
talk about the bath. To many q
bath is just something that gets
YOU clean. To others q bath is o.
form Of relaxation. To still others
it's q rejuvenator after . busy day
at the ofiice. And to still others q
bath is the only thing that will wake
them up In the morning. Then we
have people who just dunk them
selves In and out Of the tub. And
people who believe in showering.
Still others make ritual OF the
bedtime bath. They draw . tub OF
warm water and pour perfumed
water softener into it. Then they
park in the tub, letting the water
run, and they relax. After q few
minutes of relaxing they lather up.
For q good lather they use pretty

washing is over they step out OF
the tub, and dry of with Q big, huf1y

They offer you the perfumed water

these preparations your daily dip
Is q pleasure!
PLASTIC TREATMENT: Tired

just to plop on the bed and sleep,
sleep, sleep. But you can't. You
can't because a couple of days ago
you said "but I'd LOVE to 60 to
dinner and the theater!" So you
must appear alive, bright and gay.
This you can do for yourself in the
short time Of 20 minutes. There's
