The field range in use ‘'’the kitchen was not designed for baking cakes or pastry and things of that nature are not regularly on the bill o’ fare. c vc . . The routine of camp life has been established and with a few interrup- I tions will probably be continued with- out great variation. The schedule calls for rising at 5:45. An assembly and I roll call follows at 6:00. Then comes 15 minutes of physical exercise. The first mess call for the day sounds at 6 30. At 7:15, all who wish to see a I ^tor for any reason, repair to the I hospital for that purpose. Up to this time, the sick list has been compara- | lively small and the complaints of a | minor nature. Making up of beds and cleaning tents—police work, it is call ed—occupies the time until 8:00 and I from to the company en- I eages in infantry drill. Then the blue denims are donned and artillery drill commences. The boys are begining to display a great interest in the artil lery work and are quite eager to learn I how to manipulate the big guns. At 11:00 the morning drill period ends and the next call of importance is again the mess call, at 12:00. Artil lerydrill occupies the time from 1:00 to 3:00 and then the work for the day I is practically ended. At 5:00 p.m. another mess call is sounded at and I 5:45 comes retreat and the final roll call of the day. At 9:00, tatoo is sounded and thereafter quiet should prevail. Call to quarters comes at 10:45 and taps at 11:00 p.m. On Thursdays, the program is var ied by devoting the afternoon to athletics and the evening to drill. On I last Thursday afternoon, a baseball game was played between 10th Com pany and 7th Company, of Medford. 7th Company won, 8 to 6. Baseball fans consider the result very favor able inasmuch as the Medford boys were equipped with uniforms and spiked shoes whereas the Tillamook nim played in their regular uniforms I and shoes. Another game will be played next Thursday. On Saturdays, I the work for the day is finished at noon, the greater part of the morning being devoted to inspection of eqtiip- | ment and quarters. At this inspection, I everything in the possession of the , soldiers, and the tents themselves I must shine. | The work during the past week was broken into by an inspection of teeth. I | All, including the officers, were re- , quirt'd to submit to this examination and a number of the "undesirable” molars were ordered removed. On Sunday several of the non-commis sioned officers received a "shot in the arm,” or typhoid propbylaxsis vaccination, to be more technical. To this and to the vaccination against small-pox, all must submit. Quite a number of the boys have been detailed to special duty about the post. Privctes Imlah and Bur- I mestor are now telephone operators. I Private fed Eggleston is assistant to the plumber. Mechanic Goldsmith is under the Provoost Sergeant. Private Hardwick, one of the two Portland boys still with the company, is clerk in the Post headquarters. » Among the Tillamook visitors this week were: Clark Embum, Edgar Guard.

Built by Tsarskoe Seto, the city some fif teen miles south of Petrograd where the former czar was accustomed to spend the spring and where the peas ants seized the burning preserve of the demised Nicholas, is a beautiful place. The city now has a population of 30,000. It was an lnaignilicant village when Peter the Great presented it to his consort, Catherine I., and liegan the construction tliere of the great im perial palace. The palace was com pleted Just a year before Peter's death and was greatly beautified by «his daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna, in later years. Some of the most magnificent royal apartments in Europe are found in this palace, notably the bedroom of Marie Alexandrovna, consort of Alexander IL, with its opalescent glass walls, its columns of purple glass and its moth er-of-pearl inlaid tloor. The walls of another chamber are paneled with am ber; a third apartment is decorated with silver; another has wonderful ta bles and chandeliers which glow with soft light of lapis lazuli, and there is a ballroom which glitters with gold and mirrors. With all these sumptuous apartments at his disposal, Nicholas II. seldom oc cupied any of them, but preferred to live In a modest building no larger than the country home of the average well to do American. The extensive gardens and parks, embracing an area twenty-eight times as large as the United States capitol grounds, are among the chief beauties of Tsarskoe Selo, picturesque grot toes, artistic bridges, charming arbors and delightful swan ponds are to lx» found on all sides, with here and there an artificial ruin which captivates the eye and quickens the Imagination. Beyond the Imperial gardens and grounds the streets of the village are broad and straight. There are several barracks and hospitals and eight churches.—National Geographic Society Bulletin. 7 GETTING THE FEET WET. Th« Part th« Sidewalk Plays In Colds and drip Epidamlca. That a close relationship exists be tween sidewalks and grip epidemics Is asserted in Good Health by Martin Nevins. Grip aiqj colds, says Mr. Nev- Lis, are germ diseases. Germs are floating about us in the air. We breathe them in by the thousand. “But they are cowardly fellows. Once they get Inside a healthy body they retreat." He goes on: '*1 “It is only when one thing or anoth er disturbs our health equilibrium that the ‘bugs' manage to gain a foothold In our system. It may lie injudicious eating, it may be lack of fresh air, but most frequently it I* some kind of ex posure—getting the feet wot—that lays the fortress open to them. "It is not at all hard to get your feet wet. And that is where the sidewalk comes in. The ordinary sidewalk Is a right hand assistant when you want a cold foot bath. It is built flat, without any slope to drain it. “Tlie condition is aggravated If there occurs a natural depression In the side walk. The water runs into it and stands until it is dried or is frozen. The natural result is n harvest of grip epidemics and any number of colds, bronchitis ami lung troubles. And tu berculosis, too—this disease can often lie traced to sidewalks, since it usually starts with some simple lung affection. "We must stop building flat side walk» and make them convex Instead, so they will drain easily, and elevate them slightly alsrve the level of thu ground." Th« Graataat Evil. The Persian author Saadi tells a sto ry of three sages a Greek, an Indian and a Persian—who In the presence of the Persian monarch debate«! this ques tion: Of all evils incident to humanity which is the greatest? The Grecian declared, “Old age oppressed with pov erty;" tlie Indian answer«»!, "Pain with Impatience,” while the Persian, bow lug low, made answer, "The greatest evil, O king, that 1 can conceive Is the couch of death without one good deed of life to light the darksome way." -W - Th» Bow and Arrow, The first mention of the bow and ar row is found in the book of Gemwis, where It is written that Ishmael, the son of Abraham, “dwelt in the wilder ness and became an archer.” “A bow shot," too, Is mentioned as a measure of distance. In the sculptured slates found at Kborsabad and Nineveh rep resentations of archers frequently oc cur, and the bow seems to have tieen a weapon In the Assyrian and Persian a rm lea. Rules For Frying.
