i Beyond Other Countries in

|_ By JAMES H. COLLINS. |
! Washington.—A British naval officer
‘who has been doing teamwork with
fthe American destroyers In the subma- |
‘rine zone sald the other day: *““There
mre just three points upon which l!
would want to criticize Uncle Sum'sl
sallors: First, they are too well fed; l
second, they are too well clothed;
'third, they are too well paid.”
“The best fed body of men in the
world,” our navy has been pronounced,
and the figures just compiled for the |
navy ration this year show that the
‘high standard has been maintained.
despite the rise In the cost of food ar
ticles, with very little extra expense to
Uncle Sam, ’
War has added some complications |
o the task of feeding the navy, for |
‘the number of men has suddenly ln-l
wreased from about 64,000 to more than
200,000, and hundreds of small patrol |
iboats and submarine chasers have been 1
imanned by our sailors on duty in coast
wdefense districts and elsewhere. Uncle !
Sam has been able to maintain his |
navy diet economiecally by large pur- |
chases for the increased forces. |
Uncle Sam feeds his sailors, nat ex- |
actly regardless of cost, but with cost ;
always the secondary consideration. |
As Admiral McGowan, paymaster gen- |
‘eral of the navy puts it: “Cost is a |
by-product.” What the sallor eats is |
governed by the revised statutes, |
which specify the quantities of the |
various food staples which may be is- |
gued to each man in the naval service, |
mnd good nourishment and palatabil- |
ity come first, with cost figured out at |
the end of the year after the men |
/have been fed. !
Increase in Cost. ?
The navy ration for 1917 cost '
150.4405 as against $0.37648 for 1916, |
"These mystic decimals indicate an in- |
jcrease in the average cost of the ration |
of about 20 per cent over the preced- |
ing year. Statistics compiled by the |
department of labor show that there |
'was an increase of 40 per cent in the |
wholesale prices of the principal items ;
of food. Had the navy ration in-|
creased In cost to the same extent, the 3
woutlay would have been slightly overi
$4,000 & day more, or $1,500,000 more |
on the year, which may be regarded as l
money saved. %
The navy's high standard of diet |
was maintained with economy by the |
rigid enforcement of the rf-;:ulatlnnsl
prohibiting the purchase of patent and |
proprietary foods; by closely serutiniz- |
ing all reports of the survey of provi- i
sions rendered unfit for use, so that all |
causes for loss could he eliminated ; by |
investigation in every case where ships |
operating under the same conditions.
showed a marked difference in the cost 1
of the ration: by making cakes, pies, |
fce cream, and so forth, on board ship, |
instead of buying them ashore; and hy |
«care In buying provisions at seasons |
when they were most plentiful, and the |
best prices could he obtained.
The navy ration is as much a matter |
of pride to the officials who have it in |
charge as are the marksmanship ree- |
wrds of officers of the fleet. i
Schedule of Week's Meals. |
Belleving that the “proof of the [
pudding is in the eating” the navy |
submitg a complete weekly schedule of |
meals served to the enrolled men on '
‘board a hattleship at sea, the nruvl-:
glons being furnished by a supply ship, |
80 that this schedule may be taken as
an fillustration of what is accomplish- |

difficult conditions: ‘

. Matter of Clothing.
In the matter of clothing war has
brought the navy even greater activ
ity. This winter for the first time in
many years Uncle Sam’'s Jack tarsre
quire heavy winter clothing. For in
the peaceful winters since the Spanish
war most of our warships have spent
the cold months in the West Indies,
where chiefly the lighter summer
clothing was adequate and the amount
of heavy winter clothing required very
small.
Take the old navy of 64,000 men,
fnerease it in a few months to more
than 200,000, and send it into the chill,
damp climate of the submarine zone
off the British isles, from latitude 20
straight up to latitude 60, and anyone
can see that a whole new scheme of
clothing is required.
Just the other day the navy was
compelled to issue a statement on this
point to discredit rumors that its men
in northern waters were inadequately
clad and that thousands of patriotic
women would have to knit sweaters,
socks, mittens, and other heavy woolen
garments for them. Nothing to It!
Admiral McGowan started knitting
sweaters early last spring, when the
first division of destroyers was sent to
European waters, and as a clothier and
furnisher for the navy he has been
able to set a pace which left volunteer
knitters far behind months ago. The
navy's new scheme of winter clothing
is on a seale of magnitude, variety, |
and firness far beyond anything that
could be attained through volunteer
effort; commendable as the latter
may be. |
Keep Jackies Warm. |
Fach sailor serving in European wa
ters will have an outfit of special
clothing designed not only to keep out
the cold, but also windproof and water
proof. Careful studies were made of
the heavier winter clothing worn by
sailors in every allied fleet, and also
the special warm adjustable garments
used by aviators flying at altitudes of
15,000 to 20,000 feet on the western
front, so that the American saflor will
not only be as dry, warm, and com
fortable as sailor ever was, but will
have the freedom of movement and ab
sence of the sense of weight enjoyed
by the birdmen. The winter outfit
consists of a windproof suit with hood, |
the outside of which is made of imita
tion leather and the inside lined with :
sheepskin with the wool left on. His
feet will be protected with heavy arc
tics to be worn over ordinary shoes,
and if he gserves on a destroyer these |
will be replaced with heavy leather
sea-boots, His hands will be kept
warm with heavy woolen mittens, and
underneath he will have heavy woolen
undershirts, drawers, socks, and finally
a thick woolen blanket overshirt with
an additional hood. This is the stand
ard winter outfit for general use, and
every condition of service and weath
er will he met by.every type and
weight of garment designed from the
sailor working on deck in ordinary
cold elimates to the special outfits for |
navy aviators, |
Free of Charge. |
Uncle Sam has not only adapted
every good idea in winter clothing
found ‘in other navies, but his added
improvements to his own, and on top
of that Is issuing these winter clothes
to the men free of charge for their use
as long a 8 they are exposed to weath
er where the regulation navy uniforms
are not adequate. Getting this winter
¢lothing ready in time, upon short no- |
tice, und the disturbed conditions of
wool supply and factory facilities
brought by the war was a man's sized
Joh. |
The navy has a clothing factory in
New York eity where it is able to sup- ‘
ply the fleet In ordinary times with
everything required in the way of win
ter uniforms, But when this factory
was expanded to the utmost extent It
could not provide emergency winter
garments for the navy in war, So a
great many contracts were placed with
outside factories for overcoats, blue
uniforms, and special garments, Even
then there was difficulty in obtaining
materials, such as raw wool and uni
form cloth, and it required vigilant
scouting of wool and textile experts to |
dig up the supply and see that the
navy standards of quality were ad
hered to, |
Once the navy has its elothes, it can |
and does {ssue them to the fighting
men on a system that is as llboml!
and flexible as any in the world. !
No Red Tape About It. .‘
There is no red tape ahout eclothing |
the fleet, The ships get their supplies |
of clothing for sailors without requisi
tion, everything being figured out for
them by quantities based on the rec-l

10 PALE PEOPLE—
STARVING FOR IRON!
If Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New
Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength
ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and
Building up the System.
When your blood lacks the proper proportion of red corpuscles to give your
complexion the ‘‘rosy hue of health” and your complexion is pale, ‘‘pasty-look=-
ing”’, perhaps even greenish-tinged, you are probably of an anemic or chlorotic
nature, and your blood neegs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron, the new compound of iron, the hypophosphites of lime and soda, and
other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found of great value in conditions
of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack of ambition, loss of appe«
tite, dyspepsia, etc. Itis a valuable reconstructive tonic, in cases of weakness,
and helps build up the constitution after scvere illness.
Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga,, writes: ‘‘About ftwo months ago
1 got to feeling badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too,
and | didn’t have any appetite at all to eat. About two weeks ago | commenced
taking Ziron, according to directions on the bottle . . . By the time I had taken the
medicine fora week, I could see it was doing me good. Ihad been weak and
nervous, and it made me feel sironger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is
all right, and my arms and legs do not ache. And my appetite is good again.
Beéfore 1 started using Ziron 1 wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired feeling and
felt worn out. | have used ncarly the whole bottle and now I sleep fine every
night. It sure is a fine medicine, and lam glad I tried it.”
Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad
after-effects, is good for men, women and children. It is a medicine of genuine
merit, compgsed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s and give it a fair trial, ac
cording to directions on the label. _.fier using up one botile, if you find it has not benefited you, take it
back to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him forit. Werepay him, so there is no reason
why he should not repay you. This offer only applies to the first trial bottle. AL
