"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
UNCLE SAM, BllLDER
"As those best informed predict,
t'ucle Sam is about to essay the
task cf building forty-eight cities
;n jus* about ninety days," saya
the Portland News. "Tru$, these ar
not to be cities in 'he full modern
sense, except as to sanitation and
all 'he requirements *hat will con
duce to the good health of their
soldier inhabitants, but they are to
be cities that will require an enor
mous quantity of material and la
bor.
"It is understood to be the plan
oi »he war department that for the
creation of the new army the coun
try will be divided into sixteen div
viooral areas, and tha* each divi
sional area will be divided into
tare-* reserve areas, in each of whicl^
will be located a training camp or
military city, with a population of
approximately 12,000 men.
"In the fourteen officers' train
ing camps there is provision for
three months training; and at the
expiration of that time the officer
recruits will be ready to take charge
of the 'raining jn ttjeaa forty-eight
soldier cities. The assumption lies
tha» L'ncle Sam will have the cities
buil* by the time they are needed."
The Engineering News-Record,
New Yr.rtc, says of the enterprise:
"These forty-eight cities Vill be
made up of wooden buildings. It
is impossible to shelter this half
million men in tents, for there are
iiot enough tents available in ar
my stores to provide for even the
35,000 men to be brought together
ia 'he officers' training camps, nor
is there material available to make
tents in any reasonable time. It
is reported tUat the army has been
endeavoring to place an order for
3u,0'j0,000 yards of cotton duck.
This crdt-r will take the mills a
long time to fill, and much of the
material will bg required for use
for tarpaulins and similar cover
ings as fast as it can he furnished
Of iamber or wooden buildings thei4
is fortunately an ampl§ supply." I

A SOLDIER MUST BE A
GOOD MIXER IN CAMP
By CAPTAIN GEOflQE. L. KILMER.
Not alone for Ms happiness, but for
his value to the flag, the soldier must
be a good mixer. He lives, marches
and fights. Steeping at touch of elbow
with comrades. Among ether things
this means that he himself and every

part of him should know his and Its
place and take It automatically.
In cavalry and artillery the Individ
ual has freer play of body than In In
fantry, where for all movements In
line formation he has space of but
three feet (about).
Good training may be had by stand
ing square on the feet heels together
and toes a foot apart, the body at full
height, with arms vertical. From this
position bend forward as far as possi
ble, with knees rigid. Then straighten
up, with arms erect and vertical In
the heat of action this training con
tributes to coolness and precision; also
to good order In the ranks. Just as
the soldier must stand straight In the
line, keep to his own space and regard
his fellow on the right, left, front and
rear, go In the quarters, the company
street or In open bivouac he must avoid
all selfish, go-as-you-please conduct
The soldier Is to be one of an army
of 100.000 men, a little piece of a vast
machine, and must fit Into his particu
lar place with the nicety of the teeth
and grooves of a cogwheel. All of this
while in line and on duty, without
warning other than a signal. Ttien
comes the order 'Tort arms!" Ranks
dissolve, and the soldier is ageln one
of a family of 100, a society of 1,000
fellows, all as good as himself. Socially
the troops must be democratic.
Agriculture In Japan.
According to the latest Investigations
made by the department of agriculture
and commerce, the number of families
In Japan engaged In agriculture Is
3,448,292, of which 1,728,692 families
cultivate their own land, 1,507,520 fam
ilies are tenant farmers, aud 2,202,080
famlles are working partly on their
own land and partly as tenant farmers.
The land owning farmers are 32 per
cent of the total. The percentage la
small as compared with 62 in fbe
United States and 5S in the Nether
lands, but is large as compared with 13
per cent in England.
Diplomacy,
"Papa, when you are a diplomat you
try to make the other fellow believe
everything yon say, don't you?"
"Not exactly, my son. You try to
make him believe Just the opposite of
what he thinks you really intend to
say, and even tlit-n you are lying to
him."—Life.
Devoted to Duty.
"Are you ever coining to bed?" he
called out.
"I don't know," she replied. "I prom,
lsed Mrs. Jones that I'd keep track of
her husband while she is away, and
I'm going to know what time he comes
home if I bave to stay up all night."
Appropriate.
"Why do you wear that costume? It
looks like half mourning."
"Well, every evening when you come
home from the office you complain of
being half dead."
The Leek.
"Say, waiter, this plate must b«
cracked. The table is wet"
"No, sir; there's a leek in the soup."

♦ for improving the condition of ♦
♦ the alimentary system in gen- ♦

♦ best by a diet of buttermilk or ♦
♦ apples or grapes for some weeks. 4
♦ Such a diet must be adopted ♦
