United States Now Imports Argentina
Cheese; Exports Have Greatly
Increased.
In August of this year exactly 99
pounds of European cheese were im
ported by the United States, coming
from Italy. During 1914, before the
war, 36,900 tons were bought in Eu
rope, Argentina has turned to cheese
making on a large scale, and is now
placing large quantities in the United
States, although more cheese is now
being exported than imported. In

War's Demand For Men With Scien
tific Training Will Steadily Increase.
Secretary of War Newton D. Ba
ker urges men in scientific institu
tions to continue their training.
"The Government service will de
mand more and more scientifically
trained men," said he, "and I hope
those who are in charge .of scientific
Institutions will impress upon the
young men the Importance of contin
uing their studies, except to the ex
tent that they are necessarily inter
rupted by a mandatory call under the
provisions of the selective-service
law."
Every effort will be made to use
each student's special training in con
nection with specialized occupations
in the Army, to afford technical stu
dents liable to call as great an. op
portunity through the National Army
as it they had enlisted.

Unexpected Efficiency in Conserva
tion of Food Fools Camp Con
tractors. In some Army' and National Guard
camps contractors who undertook to
dispose of garbage at a price based
upon the amount they expected to
get are threatening to throw up their
contracts because the amount is so
small.
The Surgeon General's Office and
the Quartermaster's Department are
cooperating to secure the best nutri
tion of soldiers with the least waste.
Officers of the food division give in
struction in food values, balancing of
menus, and methods ot cooking and
serving. At one camp a conference
of this sort was attended by 750
cooks, mess sergeants and mess offi
cers. The allowance provided by the Ar
my regulations is liberal and permits
ot considerable Bavings. These accu
mulate to the credit of the organiza
tion If there is careful management.
Editors of Belgian Paper Find Safe
Office in "A Cellar on Wheels."
La Liber Belgique, the publication
Issued "somewhere in Belgium"
which the Germans have been unable
to suppress, thus defines its office lo
cation :
"The editorial establishment being
no place of repose, a cellar on wheels
has been found more convenient.
"Business being at a standstill un
der German domination," it says,
"we have suppressed the page of ad
vertisements and advise our readers
to save their money for better times."
Secretary of Agriculture to Issue Per.
mits for Importation of
Tickcy Cattle.
To Increase the meat supply of the
country bars have been lowered for
the importation of cattle from the
tick-infested Central and South
American countries.
Such animals must be slaughtered
immediately at ports of entry. For
the protection of domestic cattle and
to make sure that only wholesome
meat shall be produced from this
source, regulations governing the im
portations are very strict.
A permit from the Secretary of Ag
riculture is required for each con
signment of cattle offered for importation.
20,000 Graduate Nurses Will be Re
quired in Army Hospitals.
With a continuance of the war, in
the next year at least 20,000 nurses
will be needed in Army hospitals at
home and abroad. Ot the 80,000
graduate nurses of the country only
3,500 have so far been assigned to
duty in Army service, and of this
number 1,500 are in France.
An Army nurse must be a graduate
of a training school for nurses and
must have served for two years in a
hospital. They are assigned to duty
in the United States or abroad, and
preferences are granted when condi
tions permit. Nurses who prefer not
to have service abroad will have their
preferences respected.
