Washington, July 5. (United
Press) The National Army will be
well fed if preparation counts for
aught. The general staff is working
on a plan to feed the more than half
million rookies who will assemble in
the 16 cantonments for training next
fall. The variety of the menu will
necessarily be limited to the regular
army ration. But it will be properly
prepared and served. In recent wars
the "grub" of the valiant volunteer
has been the object of scandal. It
was "embalmed beef" in the Spanish
War. On the border last year the Na
tional Guard howled lustily against
the army mess. The answer was in
competent cooks.
To guard against repetition of such
complaints the General Staff has com-
pleted plans to train a gigantic army
of cooks before the cantonments open
Within a few weeks thousands of
young men will be mobilized and in
structed in the art of military culin
ary. When the cantonments open the
new cooks will toe right on the job
ready to feed the recruits.
The instruction will include how to
feed a company of 150 men three
times a day on schedule time, kitchen
sanitation of utmost importance to
the health of the men and how to
lend a touch of variety to the limited
possibilities of the army ration. There
will be no cause for apologies for the
food officials are determined. The
Regular Army soldiers thrive on it.
Jt is pure. It will be properly pre-1

Thrift --Not Waste
Delay in painting anything that needs paint is
waste. Paint preserves and keeps from decay th-
surface to which it is applied, thus preventing the
destruction of property. Destruction of property
is waste and the man who paints when paint is
needed is more economical than the man whn does
not.
