The mass meeting called in the courth >use tonight at S? o'clock merits your attention. The hour is 8 o'clock; not 6 as some have thought, and a^ was incorrectly published in The Times yesterday. If you truly desire the moral welfare of your community, come out to the meeting tonight at 8 o'clock. The meeting is in > # thev interest of no candidate and is to be strictly non-political. We understand that already the city authorities have enacted a "chicken law,' 'and the same will be published tomorrow. Every gardener will approve this move. Only the man careless of his neighbor's welfare and his z neighbor's rights can find cause to object to such a law. It is a just law, a sensible one and one that we hope will be strictly enforced. Why should a 50 cents hen be allowed to destroy a 820 garden? No one has yet arisen to answer. The great drive, long heralded by the Germans, has shown its strength and in almost every section has come to a halt. They have sucered frightful losses; losses beyond belief and j yet have not reached a single objective. The English, French and American? are beginning fierce counterdrives that seem to indicate a most hopeful situation for the allies. The allies have a strong reserve force that is about to enter the conflict. Unless* all signs fail, Germany is getting into a situation that will rob her of all the gains made at such a frightful sacrifice of men. Today and tomorrow will tell the tale. We have been doing our best to get the news from the front, and we have been successful. We have kept posting bulletins so that the people may get the news at the earliest moment. This service we have gladly rendered the community. The service we have given and expect to continue to give has been absolutely free to the people. The only thing we ask, and, by the way, have been getting, is support for our paper. New subscribers are coming in daily. Old subscribers are paying up their subscriptions. Advertisers are giving us patronage. These are the only sources of income we have. Therefore, it is our hope that we will continue to receive the hearty support of the community. We arc willing to spend freely in order to give the news. We ask that you help us by liberal patronage and prompt payment. We will give you the best service possible, if you give us liberal support. --I Army Garbage Cans No Longer Ful San Antonio, Texas, March 15.? (Correspondence of The Associate< Press)?The army garbage can for merly had a big maw but now a doj would starve if he depended on th< bones thrown from the army kitchen rhe plain fact is that bones don't ge into the garbage can, they are sold According to reports gathered fron army posts and stations in the South ern Department by Colonel Daniel F McCarthy, department quartermastei one can holds t^ie garbage which for merly filled three. Six gallons is th waste from the average army kitche 1 _ 11 ._i?- - e it-?- ? - a uiui a gooaiy pon-ion 01 tnis is potai peelings, with mighty little of the po tato on the peeling. Mess sergeants at all cantonment have been cautioned about the wast of food a!nd their diligence has, to great extent, brought about the elimi nation of much of this waste. Th mess sergeants at one Texas cam adopted a new set of "Ten Commanc ments," all dealing with food consei vation. These were printed in re ink on heavy cards and posted in ever mess shack. They read: 1?Don't allow a man to thro^ away or waste any edible food. 2?Don't make the first helpin heavy. 3?Warp kitchen police to serv food sparingly. 4?Don't help a man to any food h does not ask for. 5?Don't give a man more than tw slices of bread at a helping. 6?Make each man eat all that h puts on his plate. 7?Watch your men while eatin; and see that no food is left on th table. 8?Watch each man as he omptie his mess kit at a garbage can. 9?Allow no man to take any fooi out of a mess hall. 10?Impress upon the men the im portance of food conservation. It is estimated that it costs an ave rage of 39 to 41 cents a day to fee* each soldier in the department. Th quartermaster department puts th figures at $12 a month for each mar TVna i'q fnr flin linnrnn*t-orJ T is estimated that one-twelfth of i cord of wood is required for eacl kitchen raaipre each day, otherwis there is no "overhead" expense. On 40 cents a day, officers say, "i the soldier's helt line doesn't swell i is the fault of the mess man." Colonel McCarthy in discussing th soldiers' food said: "It's remarkable t observe the change in the recruit, th transformation of the undevelopei boy into the round soldier. The coun try boy changes expression quickl; when he frets on any diet, and the cit; boy fattens, too. Then after the; have let their belts out several notch es, they fret sassy and complain abou the army 'chow ". The averapre soldier's breathinjr ap paratus is almost perfect, accordinj to Colonel McCarthy, and balance diet and well prepared food "make men out of them." lie attributes tw causes to the effectiveness of arm; food: First, (he soldier has more tim for eatinpr, and takes his meal mor leisurely than does the civilian; sec ond, the food is cooked on a mor scientific standard, and the ration i more evenly balanced, while the ci vilian seldom has a trained cook. When the officers' reserve trainin school was opened at Camp Stanlej, near here, the frovernment allowed 7 cents a day for each man's food. Thi was later reduced to HO cents a daj This sixty cents not only feeds th student officers but provides them wit waiters. It is estimated that 40 cent goes for food and 20 cents for helf the prospective officers preferring t use some of the appropriation fo waiters rather than "pass the mes around." Their bill of fare is said t he equal to that of first class hotel! with plenty of extras on Sundays. Food surveys have been made a practically all of the Southern camp and special attention given to th balancing of diet and cleanlinesj Mess officers and non-coms have bee instructed as to the food values, nu tritional percentages and the calori units of different foods, the prope kind of food to give men doing certai kinds of work, the right kind of foo to serve in hot weather, and the prop er way of preparing it so as to niak for variety and reduce waste.
