its creature comforts looked after for
three months If not another pound o!
supplies Was secured. This waa the
statement made hero by ?Ulcers of the
army quartermaster's department,
which directs this mammoth work oi
supplies.
It gives an Idea of the vast stock
of reserve resources stored la the
mile? of warehouses stretching from
the coast Inland to the fighting line,
and It is a comforting assurance, too.
that this huge reserve will be kept
up through the coming winter period,
so that the American soldier's warmth,
as well as hfs food and clothing, will
bo fully looked after.
8ome Big Job. ;
: It is a huge undertaking to feed a
minion iben even for a single day? s
/million men scattered to a thousand
points, in treuches, on battlefields and
Camps, along 800 miles of front and foi
a depth of 000 miles. And when are
added housing and clothing and the
period Is extended through the win
ter months of cold and frost, with the
prospect that another million or twc
of men may be headed this way before
long?with these elements one get*
some Idea* of the magnitude of the
supply problem for a million or mort
. men.
Here at the center of the system
Where the receipts are regulated and
the <JlRtrIbutlon made, there was an
opportunity of learning some of the
details of how the system operates.
In the food branch alone it takes
over 4,000,000 pounds of food CVer>
dhy to feed the army. Thig^pjrodl
gious daily consumption of food em
braces 1,000 pounds of flour baked
into a million pouuds of bread ever;
day, 875,000 pounds of fresh beef.
875, 00O pounds of potatoes, 200.00f
pounds Of sugar and 125,000 pounds oi
tomatoes. The pepper and salt for ?
single day is 42,500 pounds,
Army coffee Is roasted at tho rate
of 70,000 pounds a day, and It takes
20,000 pounds of solidified nlcohoj tc
* cook this coffee through the month.
The beef Is the bulkiesf^roducl
used each day, ahd^. occupies a daily
space of 45,000 cubic feet, or : about
the dimensions of a business block, of
solid meat. Flour comes next, requir
ing 25,000 cubic feet Of dally space,
and potatoes about the same.
A Few Dally Itemf.
These are only a few of tho main
items. But the list runs all through
the many requirements of the over
sea army ration, with vast quantities
In each case. Here are some of the
other daily items : BacOn, 225?M)0
pounds; beans, ? 75,000 pounds; rlct,
50,000 pounds; onions, 250,000< pounds ;
evaporated fruit, 70,p00 pounds;. Jam,
70,000 pounds; milk, 62,500 pounds;
vinegar, 40,000 pounds; lard, 40;000
pounds; butter, 81,000 pounds; syrup,
40,000 pounds. v
These being included in tne over
sea ration, every one pf the million
men Is entitled to 'his full allowance,
and It must go forward to him wher
ever he is. So that besides the vast
dnHy stock there is the question of,
unfailing daily delivery, first by rail
ways nnd camion trains, and then to
the individual soldier.
Besides this 4,000,000 pounds of food
moving forward daily . to the troops,
each man carries with him two days'
emergency Nation, 5 pounds to the man,
an additional 5,000,000 pounds of food
for an army of a million men. Of the
emergency ration, carried on the baek,
there Is outstanding every day 2,000,
000 pounds of corned beef and 2,000,
000 pounds of hardtack, 800,000 pounds
of Kugar, 62,500 pounds of coffee, 20,
000 pounds of salt, and 500,000 pounds
of aolidifled alcohol for heating and
cooking while on march. .
YANKEE BAPTIZED ON A RUN

With the American Army at the
Marne. ? A Jong line of dust-covered
Yankees were pushing their way
through a shell-battered village near
Chateau Thierry toward a ridge of
hilln from whlrh came the rumble ?f
artillery fire. At a crossroads ;tfcey
came upon a chaplain, waiting beside
a broken-down sldccur. One of the
doughboys fell out of line and walked
rapidly np to the crossroads.
"Say, Chaplain, baptize the quick,
will you?" be urged. "We'll be In the
line to-night T
The' chaplain walked away from the
sidecar. i
"Do you believe" he began.

GET SALT FROM SEA W
Old Method of Obtaining Ns?<

It, says u writer lii Popular
Monthly. For many centuries pmc
t ifa 1 1. v nil tlie ealt used by the human ,
race wan procured by tl?e evaporation
of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt la
at 111 employee! in many localities Where
the conditions are favorable. A flat
stretch of sea coaat ami a hot aud
dry climate are necessary If salt la
to fee got from aea water. An Ideal
locality for this i ml us try la the coast
on the Day of Cadis, Spain.
The sea water Is allowed to Collect
In shallow baslne, barely above high- 1
water marlb As (the water evaporates
the m wwr
water crystallise out and form a crust,
which Is removed and shoveled In
small heaps. There the salts undergo j
the first stage of purification.
The edible sslt la drained from the
other wait#, which constitute the great
er part of the Impurities. The edible
salt crystallUes out first, while the
other salts retain tne water und form
a concentrated brine which is allowed
to run into ditches dug for that pur
pose.
The partly purified salt Is then gath
ered Into large heaps. Occasional
rains wrfsh out the more easlfy solublo
Impurities, and the hot sun dries the
salt on the surface of the pile. Al
though It sUU contains about 15 per
cent of Impurities It is shipped In
large quantities without further refin
ing. ?:
It I* estimated that five per cent of
the inhabitants of all the countries now

"I will aay that a survey recenttly made of the cotton Situation in Sooth C?
olina leads us to believe that at least 25 per cent reduction in the cotton crop
resulted this year from lack of potash. In softie cases not more than half a cr?P <
been produced on light land that is very deficient in potash. The appe arai?l^ de
the* plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for tne w
creased yield. We are, therefore, recommending that liberal amounts of Py*? xuat
used in fertilizers for cotton rfext Jear. At the usual rates of application I 1
it will pay to use as much as 3 per cent of potash at the present prices."
