DUKE. WHEN you say that 80 tons of food are required daily to ration the approximately 40,000 units of the new National Army going into camp now in each of the 16 cantonments scattered over the country the figures roll glibly off your tongue. You knew that it required a lot of food to supply so many men and took it for granted that the daily menu at each of the camps toUiled a. stupendous amount. But when you sit down to figure it out in detail to multiply one day's "grub" for each cantonment by 16 can tonments and many National Guard, regular Army naval camps, aviation centers, officers' training camps, ord nance schools and other military cen ters and then to multiply the whole by weeks, months and years the figures begin to reach astounding proportions, and you wonder how Food Adminis trator Hoover and his assistants are getting away with their job. Ration Four Pounds Dally. The average ration for a soldier amounts to four pounds a day, which means that about 160,000 pounds, or 80 tons, of food are necessary to the daily upkeep of each of the canton ments. At that rate the 16 canton ments will consume nearly 1300 tons of food daily, close to 9000 tons weekly, approximately 40,000 tons monthly and half a million tons yearly. At the pre vailing prices of foodstuffs 'you can thus get a staggering estimate of the cost of "eats" alone to Uncle Sam in the world war. If you care for figures and have an adding machine handy you might go on and figure out how much food the million and a. half fight ing men now in arms under the Stars and Stripes are going to eat during the first year of our participation in the conflict. Four pounds of food daily to a fight ing force of a million and a half fight ing men means a total consumption of SOO0 tons every 24 hours. Thus from sunrise to sunset the Army and Navy of your Uncle Sam eat their way through a mountain of food almost equivalent in weight to the displace ment of the giant United States dread nought Pennsylvania. Balanced in the scales against modern locomotives, the daily bill of fare of the boys either already "over there" or getting ready to "go over" would, balance two of the Pacific type engines used on the Chesa peake and Ohio. The amount of food required every 30 days at any one of the 16 canton ments would fill to capacity a train of 100 boxcars. Allowing 135 boxcars to a rail mile, the train necessary to carry the food that our fighting sons will consume in a year would stretch In a continuous line from Altantic City to Boston. Good Feeding; Is Vital. These few figures give some esti mate of the tremendous job of pro visioning an army in warfare. And ..'iiee an army "travels" on its stom i&h" the job is of prime importance in keeping our boys in trim. To this end the Administration at Washington, through the quartermaster's and com missary departments, has given itself to the huge assignment with the ut most care. And it is not overstating it to say that the American Army and Navy will be the best-fed forces in the field. The resources of the Nation have been placed at the disposal of the Arm and Navy departments, and it is a safe wager that there will be no food scan dals such as characterized the mobili zation of our forces at the time of the Spanish-American War. Army menus are divided into five classes garrison, travel, reserve, field and emergency rations to which might be added what is termed the Filipino ration, which is that given to the brown-skinned soldier of our col onies, who require more rice and fish and less bacon and beef. Travel 'ra tions are the kind used by the men In the journeys from mobilization camps to the front and consist of a simple diet that can be prepared by the indi vidual soldier. This must be served one day during every" two months in camp in order that the men may be schooled in its preparation. It includes canned goods and boxed supplies, to be used when there are no cooking facil ities. Field rations are the kind re quired when on long marches and con sist of what the men can carry along with what their , commanders may be able to commandeer along the route. The emergency rations are the tab loid foods, consisting of prepared tab lets of pressed dried beef, chocolate and bread wafers of highly nutritive value. The boys get these in the trenches or when isolated from the reg ular food supply. Garrison rations are the kind doled out in the encampments. This is the type served in the cantonments and it is of this kind which thi3 article will deal chiefly. Let it be known in pass ing that art Army ration, strictly speak- WEEK'S RATIONS AT ARMY CA31I'. 100,000 pounds fresh beef. 50,000 pounds of fresh pork. 50,000 pounds of mutton. 15.000 pounds of butter. 1200 dozen eggs. ' 1800 pounds dress-d chicken. 15,000 loaves of bread daily. 1780 gallons milk daily. ing, is the allowance for the subsistence of one person for one day. It is upon this unit that the Army estimates are made, and it has been worked out so carefully ' that Washington knows ex actly what it costs to feed every man in the service. That cost, for an aver age of four pounds of food dally to each man is between 30 and 40 cents, varying with the fluctuations in the markets. Garrison Rations Varied. Virtually every visitor to our camps today busies himself or herself almost immediately with an inspection of the camp's cuisine. Mess time is equally as interesting as dress parade or in spection., of arms. While the soldier's food is plain and devoid of ."dainties, it is always nourishing, well cooked and built up of those calories that are cal culated to keep the body in fighting tim. The garrison ration of the Army menu consists of 25 'staple articles: Fresh beef, bacon, ' fl6ur, baking pow der, dried beans, rice, potatoes, onions, canned tomatoes,- prunes, jam, evap orated apples and peaches, coffee, sugar, evaporated milk, vinegar, pickles, salt,' pepper, cinnamon, lard, butter, syrup and lemon extract. They are the fundamental articles of diet. Of course, it varies. Some of the more important substitutes are likely to be canned corn beef, dried and canned fish, cornmeal, canned vegetables, canned fruit, choco late and tea, cereals and specials for holidays. It is quite possible for the-Army men to have chicken and ice cream. It gen erally works out in this way: Each unit that messes together company, troop or battery is allowed .one ration for every enlisted man. As the rations are drawn a charge sales slip Is issued. Every 30 days the mess gets back in cash the allowance not drawn in food. If .the company or troop has drawn more than its allowance it must make good the difference in money. This is not likely to ocqur, for the company .captain and the mess sergeant keep a sharp eye ouffor such -a-condition of affairs. By a little economy the com pany.' can so- ration itself that it will have a tidy cash sum coming to it, and thereby be enabled to enjoy delicacies. So closely has it been figured out that the mess sergeant knows to a LEWISTON ONCE TRADING POST OF HOSTILE BAND OF INDIANS Thomas J. Beall, Oldest Pioneer of Inland Empire, Recalls Battle of Tu-ots-ne-ma, Early in Year 185S. BY THOMAS J. BEALL. (Oldest pioneer of Inland Empire, residing at Lewlston, Idaho.) T FIRST set my foot on the spot where Lewiston is located January 4, 1859. -At that time the agency for the Nez Perce Indians was at Walla Walla, but the agent was directed by the department at Washington to re move the agency to some point on the Nez Perce Reservation. The spot where Lewiston is located was called by the . Indians Se-me-ni-cum, which means the meeting of the waters, or the forks of a stream. The climate being very mild - in Winter, with plenty of bunchgrass for feed and an abundance of driftwood for fuel, the Nez Perces assembled here together with other tribes to gamble and run horses. Concluding that the influen tial men of the tribe would attend this mid-Winter meeting at Lewiston, the Government agent sent me and Joe Craig, an interpreter, from Walla Walla to consult with the Indian chiefs and to have them designate where they wished the agency established. They wanted me to select the site, but I told them it would be more satis factory both to the Government and to themselves if they would, make the se lection. Accordingly, they agreed on the old Spaulding Mission on the Clear water River at the mouth of Lapwai Creek, where the agency was estab lished in the early- Spring of 1860. Kavisation Thought Joke. In July of that year A. J. Cain, the Government Indian agent, ordered me to go to Wallula, then old Fort Walla Walla, to take charge of two bateaux, load them with supplies and bring them to the agency. My crew consist ed of 18 Nez Perce Indians and an in terpreter. I had seven tons in one bateau and nearly as heavy a cargo in the other. Each and its cargo were much larger than the bateaux used by the Hudson's Bay Company. 1 took charge of the larger boat and assigned a French Canadian to the other. Being in charge of the expedi tion, I earned the title of "Admiral of the fleet of the raging Snake River." We did not have any serious trouble on the voyage, which was a most tedious one, th,e irregular course of the river permitting the use of sails for only short distances and at infrequent in tervals. The journey took 22 days and when I told my Indian companions they would some day see steamboats plying the Snake River they ridiculed the pre diction as one Impossible of realization. It was not surprising then that when the little steamer Col. Wright ascend ed that stream, with Captain Eph. Baughman as mate and pjlot, the In dians in the villages were frightened and fled to the foothills. Town Founded In 1SC1. Lewiston was founded about May 13, 1861. After the town had been sur veyed and platted by a Dr. Buker, the question arose as to what it should be named. Some suggested one name and some another, the late John M. Silcott proposing that it be named after one of the Indian chiefs. Overhearing the discussion. Vic. Trevitt, of The Dalles, who had established a branch house for Ladd & Tilton, of Portland, stepped forward and remarked: "Gentlemen, I do not see why there should be any difficulty in naming this town. Let U9 call it Lewiston, after Lewis and Clark." This suggestion was ' approved . and the city was so named. That portion of the city bordering on Snake River, now called Snake River avenue, was called Clarksville. Only recently a park was established at the head of the Ninth-street grade and upon my sug gestioin it was named Trevitt Park in honor of the man who, nearly 60 years ago, named the city of Lewiston. Fierce Battle Recalled. The "battle of Tu-ots-ne-ma, so-called by Colonel Steptoe in his official report of that engagement, took place at a point 14 miles north of Steptoe Butte. The town of Rosalia is located" on 'the site of the battle. It was from that point Colonel Steptoe's command re treated Sunday, May 17. 1858. I was there at the time and I know. It. was a case where a good run was better than a bad stand, so we ran, and it was fortunate for us that we had chance to run. If we had undertaken to hold our position until the follow ing day none of us would have lived to tell the tale. I owe my life to the late Nez Perce chief. Timothy. He not only saved my life, but the lives of all the members of Colonel Steptoe's band. We were entirely surrounded by hos tile Indians, as we thought; our am munition was nearly exhausted; we were 150 miles from Fort Walla Walla, with Snake River to cross. We had no idea of how we possibly might make our escape until Timothy, knowing the situation, assured Colonel Steptoe that when it became dark he would try and find a gap through which we could steal to safety. The officers objected to permitting the Indian chief leaving our camp, fearing he would betray us. but Colonel Steptoe expressed confi dence In Timothy and insisted that he be trusted, explaining that for us to re. main where we were until morning meant certain death. Escape Made Possible. At dusk Timothy left camp, return ing true to his word two hours later with the information that by leaving the trail, crossing a creek an going over a high knoll, he thought we might escape. Still the officers were suspi cious of our Indian friend, but Colonel Steptoe would not listen to them and ordered us to prepare to leave, with Timothy as a guide. We had a pack train of 85 animals, hut took with us only three packhorses to carry the per sonal effects of the officers and sol diers who already had been killed, leaving the others "picketed at the scene of our camp. Even our tents were abandoned and left standing, with bright fires burning. Taking a small supply of food, we left camp and marched all night, passing about seven miles west of steptoe Butte, and in the morning were on the ground now oc cupied by the city of Pullman. We continued our march safely and arrived at Snake River, opposite Alpowa. nine miles below "the present site of Lewis ton. Alpowa means Sunday, the Sab bath day, and was the home of Tim othy, whose body rests in an unmarked grave near that city. The following day friendly Indians of the same tribe to which Timothy belonged assisted us across the Snake River and we con tinued our journey to t Walla Walla without'further incident,' fraction of an ounce how much food! his men consume. This estimate has been found to work out something like this for each man: Four ounces of bacon, three and a half ounces of liver, four ounces of steak, four and a half ounces of sausage, five ounces of beef, five ounces of fish, eight ounces of chicken, three ounces of beans, one ounce of macaroni, three ounces of onions, four ounces of potatoes, one ounce of rice, three ounces of to matoes, three ounces of turnips, one ounce of dried fruits and three ounces of Jam. A sample daily menu in one of our camps now under canvas has been found to work out something like this: Breakfast Fruit or breakfast food: meat, in some form, with a vegetable hot bread with butter, or hot cakes and syrup; coffee. Dinner Soup: meat, roasted, boiled or fried, or fish; two vegetables: a vegetable or fruit salad: dessert; bread and butter: coffee or tea. Supper Meat or fish; one vegetable: hot rolls; stewed fruit or jam; bread id coffee, tea or chocolate. General PerBhing's Army now behind the battle lines in France eats about 2400 tons of food a month. This is "some" problem for your Uncle Sam. inasmuch as his men are so far away from home and the Kaiser's U-boats are maintaining their ruthless warfare, despite the concerted scientific activ ities of the allied nations. The sink ing of a single ship carrying 10.000 tons of foodstuffs for our expedition ary forces would mean nearly two weeks rations for the boys over there." It is with considerable pride that Americans look upon the fact that General Pershing and his men are pro visioned entirely by supplies drawn from this country and living entirely economically independent of any of the nations with which our country has joined hands. Boys Get Plenty to Eat. Our boys abroad are living in pretty good style, too. Chicken is served them once a week. Ten tons of chicken are required for a single meal. It takes five tons of potatoes for a meal, which is about equivajent to the amount that can be raised on one and a half acres of ground. Six and a quarter tons of fish are required for one meal, one and a quarter tons of coffee and three and a quarter tons of jam. And yet Uncle Sam runs his kitchen on an aver age of 40 cents a day for each of his family. The difference between the way Uncle Sam runs his Army and the manner in which the restaurateurs "arouare" the public is shown by com paring the Government's allowance of 40 cents a day with the 60 cents al lowed each recruit of the new Army for a single meal en route to tne can tonments this month. There Is plenty to eat at every meal; a second helping is to be had. Waste is curtailed in every possible way. as this apt quotation from the "Mess Ser geant's Handbook" by captain i. . Holbrook. U. S. A., will show: "Each day, immediately after dinner, the menu is made out for supper, in order to use all portions of food left over from breakfast and dinner while the are still fresh, and at thf same time the bills of fare are prepared for break fast and dinner for the . following day. For example: Mush left over from breakfast may be sliced when cold and served with syrup; or, fritters may be made from It. There may be material for creamed potatoes, fried potatoes, potato balls, a salad, meat balls, cro quettes, beef loaf, etc., left over from breakfast and dinner: or by preparing a small amount of food and that left over, the whole may be used to ad vantage. Lesson Tsurht In Thrift. Captain Holbrook might have used the word "hash" while he was at it, for we have dined in the mess halls at Fort Niagara and Plattsburg, in the National Guard camps and elsewhere. and found "hash" a conspicuous article of diet on the evening menus. And it tasted good, too, after hiking around all day looking things over. Uncle Sam's unique method of house keeping Is a lesson In Itself that any thrifty housewife can copy to good ad vantage. He figures in advance a week ly budget that Includes the amount to be spent for food so mVi and no more. When he exceeds ISat amount any one day he makes it up the next day so as to keep an even balance. By "shaving" the budget one day he is able to have luxuries the next day. Hash on Saturday from Friday's left overs means chicken and watermelon on Sunday. Proper feeding of a modern army Is facilitated greatly by the wonderful new field kitchens that follow the army. They are the marvel of man and woman alike who go to visit the boys In their camps. These movable kitchens are divided into two carriages; one is the "stove" proper and the other re serve bins, in which food already cooked is kept warm. Hot food, placed In cylindrical containers, is kept hot in tightly clamped receptacles for - 24 hours. Each kitchen cooks for 230 .men. When one considers that a fighting man eats a pound of bread with his daily rations, and that 18 tons of bread are required daily to feed an army of 40,000 in one of the cantonments. It is readily apparent that the baker has some chance to do his bit In this war. Four thousand bakers are necessary to make the staff of life for an army of a million men. Seven runs of so- called garrison bread can be made in the army working day or 16 nours. Each bakery company, consisting of 61 men. bakes 12.096 pounds of bread daily. A. portable field oven will bake approximately 3500 pounds of issue bread or 2000 pounds of field bread in a day when operated continuously. One kind of bread Is intended for the men near at hand; the other for troops lo cated at some remote point. To conserve the health of his sol diers Uncle Sam exercises the best of precautions to see that the food is not only well cooked but that the raw product is clean and wholesome. You have probably noticed that the mess tents directly adjoin the officers' tents In the layout of the military camp. The boys form In line. for mess In their company streets and' wind in front of the field kitchens that flank the com- nanv street directly opposite the offl cers' quarters. This is all a part of the arrangement whereby the officers have access to the food in the prepara tion and inspect it before it is issued to the men. Every effort is being made to pro tect the military reservations, not.aione in the food prepared within the camp for the men, but In supervision of the small army of hucksters, venders and the like that follow hard on the estab lishment of every Army camp. Along this line Surgeon-General Blue said but recently: Camps Are Safeguarded. "We expect that soft-drink stands, pie counters and quick-lunch places will spring up at the edge of every cantonment and military camp with mushroom-like speed. We not only will have to see to it that the food and drinks they offer for sale meet the requirements as to wholesomeness, but we will have to make sure that the vast quantity of milk used on the mili tary reservations comes from carefully selected, disease-free herds. "The .matter of preventing soldiers from getting deleterious foods from hucksters and venders Just beyond the military reservations will be one of the greatest troubles. It will do no good to see to it that the men get only pure, well-cooked food at the company kitch ens if they are to be allowed to get unwholesome stuff outside. At the time of the Jamestown Exposition I had charge of the sanitary problems there, and it became necessary to bar all hucksters and venders. Only the milk from one tuberculin-tested dairy was allowed to enter the grounds." TELPHONE CONCEALMENT IS NOW DEMANDED BY FASHION Screen Suggested for Formal Room "While Doll Is Used to Make Boudoir ' Instrument Seem to Be Something It Is Not. Y 1 v ut:ft U - Mi IWT.BH.IIIInll III "T WHOEVER would have thought that the indispensable and hon orable telephone, the first re quirement of a well-equipped home, would come to be one of those articles of household furnishing that it is con sidered bad taste to display obviously? But so it seems. An uncovered tele phone Is now pronounced by fashion immodest or at least crude and many are the contraptions for dressing up this humble and useful necessity of modern living. Two contrivances for hiding the telephone, from public gaze are suggested one for the formal, downstairs room, the other for milady's chamber. The telephone screen has an elegance and dignity suited to its en vironment of living-room or library; the beruffled doll has all the gaiety and prettiness needed to match a charming boudoir. The screen ia made of pleated, old gold silk and ecru filet lace over brown satin; narrow gold lace covers the seams and finishes the edge of the screen and further garnishment is sup plied in the way of grape clusters made of satin in shades of blue over tufts of cotton batting. The grape leaves are green and gold, the stems are lengths of wire covered with dark brown silk floss. The ribbon flounces which form the gay petticoat of the little telephone lady are mounted on a light hooped foundation of net and the attractive little person Is only half a dolly less than half, indeed, for she includes only a head, shoulders and arms, this frac tion of her body resting on the top of the telephone while her ruffled petti coats hide the standard and receiver.
