BY CHARLES W. 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-

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."

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
