Have a Heart
The other day in a downtown busi
ness place we noticed a sign back of the
counter that read something like thia:
“Have a Heart, the only help left in the
Unfit, we are doing the best we can."
To those of u« who have been granted
the privilege of nerving tn this great
hour of crlahi, this little appeal carries
. a note which might well be heeded, for
all of u« are more or le«H afflicted with
the great American trait, IMPATIENCE.
How many times have we gone Into n
business house and Inwardly criticised
; the management, the oierks, ami the f*ya
tem which would make us wait such a.
seemingly intermineble length of time
before wp were waited upon, Or we
have gone to, the telephone and In »
1 caustic tone of voice Inquired If the toh
. phone line was broken or ihe operator
had gnne to sleep
But have you ever stopped lust a w< »>
moment to think that condition? at the
present time are abnormal ? I’id you
, ever stop to think that the ablest of the
‘ mala help are at war. that a good many
of thv onw< hft are unfit qnd that a
great many pieces have been taken by
women, *vl o although they arc doing
wonderfully well, are still not a« efficient,
as the man whom they have replaced?
Trtdr try and remember thia rhe next
time wo go Ir.t • .1 store and think we
«ro not being waited upon quick enough, ■
Try and rrmcmbn mat the business man |

Nutrition Officers to
Supervise Cooking
Nutrition officers are tn be stationed
in «v«ry National Army Camp and ev
ery National Guard camp as well as In
every cimp where 10,000 or more hoI- ;
fliers are In training. These officers
are food specialist* who, before they
joined the army as members of the Di
vision of Food and Nutrition of the
medical department, were connected
with colleges and public bodies as
physiologists, chemists. economists,
• food Inspectors and experts In other
specialised work relating to food.
Since October of last year the Di
Vision of Food and Nutrition has been
making surveys of food conditions In
the camps. Groups of officers have
gone from camp to camp, studied the
food served, how It was Inspected,
and prepared, and have made
which, upon being
’ ' tried out, resulted In many ndvanta
• genua changes
AHhojQgi.JJt.o Prin;. nt work of the.--
’groups was inspection”- .mum.
. of handling and preparing food,* thi
visiting officers were able to give qpn
elderable instruction In the prinelplt ■
of nutrition, the proper selection of th.
foods and the construction of deltartex.
to mess officers, medical officers -.n-■
others who were Interested. Detailed
personal instruction whs given to the
mesa personal on some of these topics,
as well as on the various mthods of
avoiding waste, the importance of
keeping kitchens and mess halls clean .
and orderly, and the methods of judg
ing and storing food.
Survey parties were instructed to
seek instruction to seek in every pos
sible way to reduce waste. It was :
found that men and officers were very ■
willing to co-operate In making sur- I
veys and to reduce as much ns possi
ble the waste of food. One of tin
most effective means adopted for this
purpose was introduced at one camp
and followed later at other camps.
At this camp seven companies were
selected from various organizations
totalling 1,135 men. A two-day sur
vey was run on each mess and the.
average edible waste was found to be
1.12 pounds per mon per day. In
•trnctlons were then given to the me
sergeants and cooks In matters of food
and mess economy and when the offi
cer in charge was .satisfied that the’-
had a reasonable understanding of the
subject, a second two-day survey was
made. This showed an average edible
waste of 0.43 pound per man per day
a saving of 0.59 pound. This .saving
amounted to $61.75 per day for the
seven messes, or at the same rate
would amount to $22,542.00 per year. If
the same rate of showing were brought
about for the entire camp tn this case,
approximately 15.000 men. It would
amount to $338,000 per year.
Work tn this character showed the
necessity of keeping a nutrition officer
in each camp at all times so that b°
might advise about the composition
and nutritive value of dietaries, make
inspections for adulterations, spoilage,
and deterioration and tn on.operate
■with the mees officials.
Sixty new officers are to be commis
sioned In the Division of Food Nutri
tion to handle the additional work. All
will be food specialists similar to those

It is gratifying to find that among
I leaders of German public opinion
' there is not complete unanimity in
backing up the government’s pro
gramme of misrepresenting and un
derestimating the Americana. Here
and there is a German editor intelli
gent enough to understand the mo
l lives which led this country to enter
the war, and courageous enough to
i set them forth, even though this
; course aligns him against the policy
I of officialdom there.
j Such an editor is Maximilian Har
den, who conducts the weekly Die
Zukunft. Completely in accord with
his government’s course at the begin-
■ ning of the war, approving the viola
tion of Belgian neutrality, and advo
cating with all other Teutons the rule
of might, Harden more recently has
seen a light. He is now the German
government’s bitterest critic. In the
last few months he has praised Presi
dent Wilson highly and told his coun
trymen that Germany could not hope
for a military victory in this war.
“You think that the British and
Americans are such as the conserva
tive papers represent them," he said
in a recent issue of his publication.
“They proved themselves to be very
different on the Yser, at Arras, at
They have shed the best
|of their blood, spent hundreds of thou
jsands without dreams of conquest
’simply for their ideals. Does this cor
respond in any way to the picture that
you have drawn of them?”
The conventional German picture of
an American is that of a money-grub
ber, who does not desire to fight and
cannot fight when he has to. Yet, as
Harden pointed out, this country
■ shedding the best ot its blood ano
spending hundreds of .thousands—
vastly more than that, in fact, simply
for its ideals.
The United States is raising an
army of 5,000,000. It has raised and
spent three big Liberty Loans, and is
preparing to issue a Fourth Loan, far
bigger than any of the others, to back
up the huge army with which it in-
A great new army of men soon will
be flowing in an almost unceasing
stream into the country’s canton
ments and camps. They will compose
the division# of the Second Draft, men
! outside of the previous draft ages and
representing either the younger or
older men of the nation.
How soon those new men fit them
selves for nfllitary how heart- .
Uy in accord with all military princi
ples they become, depends In large
measure upon you, soldiers of tho First
pnift, men of the old Regular Army. ’

NOT AS GERMANS SEE US
tends to end the war. It is devoting
all of its resources, giving all ita
strength, to the tasks of war. Why?
For its ideals—so that democracy may
not perish from the earth, so that
weak nations may not be overrun by
strong ones, so that property and lives:
may be safe and treaties and intema-i
tional law may be binding on their!
signatures, not mere scraps of paper.!
This is a high and noble cause. It!
is not complicated for America by!
questions of territorial gain or finan-j
cial advantage. Nothing in the way!
of material benefit which may cornel
out cf victory could compensate this
country for the money which will!
have to be spent to bring toe war toi
an end, or the American blood which |
roust flow before the Hun is driven
back across the Rhine.
America is not fighting to win dol
lars, as the German people have been
led to believe. America is spending
billions of dollars to fight and to keep!
on fighting must spend billions more,!
That is why the Government needs
our money now for the Fourth Lib-!
erty Loan. The brave men who are
being sent to France in ever-increae-j
ing numbers must be backed up with;
food and clothes and ammunition and
supplies of every sort, ships must be,
built to carry the material, railways'
must be built or enlarged there to get)
it to the troops. • |
The nation which has not refused;
its menfwill not refuse its money to’
support them. What Harden knewtu
about the Americans and their spirit]
all the other Germans must be taught.l
Apparently the only argument which
will make any impression on them is
their own favorite one—force. Forcel
of men and force of money will com
plete their education to a point where
they never again will undertake to
feed their greed by forcing war on
others.
While our men in khaki are being
sent Over There to battle, let those
who stay here send their dollars to the
Treasury to fight also. Let the rous
ing triumphant campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan carry the word
to Berlin that the Americans intend
to conquer, whatever the cost.

A CONTEMPTIBLE LIAR

clothing captured in Russia, italy anc
France. Copper booty, it said, was
sufficient to supply the German Army
for a year.
Hark now to the meurnfui wail of
the Gasette in reference to these
Wolfish rainbows, distributed so lav
ishly amid April’s showers:
"ft is not to be wondered,” the
r.dwspr ;er Bays, “that there would be
disappointment and mistrust when we
are asked to part with our clothes and
door handles. Even the thickest
thread of patience would get worn
out by such methods,”
Such patience is indeed thick
skinned. it Is the plodding, heavy
type of unoriginal mentality which
must be heavily hammered to impress
even the slightest bint cf what more
highly sensitive minds can grasp at
first faint blush.
Much bread and wine was held
forth in its rcse-colored dispatches
by the Wolff Bureau. In German
hands, however, all its lying promises
have become but bitter husks. Good
men hate liars. Kc-w long will it take
rousing German hate to find t!ie real
objpet of its wrath?

An American Soldier’s
Code of Honor
(By a Soldier at Camp Zachary Taylor)
America and her allies are now en
gaged in a death-grip struggle with the
greatest foe of freedom the world has
ever known America must win if such
homes as fitted me for life are to con
.tlnuo to exist. I’ncle Sam has chosen
me Jo help smash the dragon. The job
is the most stupendous I have ever un
dertaken. The conflict may cost me my
life, and. if so. the price will be cheer
fully paid. Hence, J should give HArious
thought to living along lines conducive
to my hist efforts. I will, therefore, en
grave upon my heart this code of con
duct:
Health.
1.1 will take dure of my health in the
best way I know how. I will not endan
ger it by dissipation. The government
has chosen me an physically fit; has
pinned upon irie a badge of distinction by
selecting me as a man among men; has
spent much time and money in training
and equipping me. Without robust health
1 cannot render my best service. I will
not repudiate the trust placed in me
by my government In its hour of supreme
need.
Obedience.
«
2 1. will obey instantly and willingly
all order, given me by my Superiors. In
the absence of an order I will do .as I
think the order would Ijave specified.
•
It Is the foundation rock of discipline.
Discipline means efficiency. I will do my
part cheerfully to make Uncle Sam's
great army fit to defeat the most es-
■
Silence.
3. I will be discreet in speech. The
enemy is all about me ready to devour
every crumb of information that may fall
from my tongue.
Authority.
4. F will respect lawful authority wher
ever I find it, as every American sol
dier and gentleman takes a pride in
doing. When I find myself vested with
authority, I will manifest the same dili
gence In exacting obedience as in obey
ing. never forgetting, however, that all
under me arc Americans the same as
I. When it is my duty to administer dis
cipline, I will act firmly and unflinch
ingly but never bitterly. Under no cir
cumstances will I curse a soldier. I will
..re)) uppermost in my mind the. thought
of < o-operation, in order that the general
scheme of things, ordered by my super
iors, may be carried out expeditiously and
without friction.
Application.
5. 1 will take advantage of every op
portunity to perfect myself in my new
prnfe. slon. Tim loss of lives of my com
rades. and, not beyond possibility, the
loss of the war itself may be occaesioned
sometimes by my individual lack of a
bit *T knowledge that ( might have ac
quired easily in one of the many hours
I half-heartedly gave to training nt the
camp- I will let this be a sobering
thought when I am prone to be indif
ferent.
Appearance.
6. I will take pride in my uniform and
do nothing to bring discredit upon it. I
will be ever neat and clean in my dress.
{ will salute correctly and glory in do
ing all things exactly in the right way.
I will tell men everywhere by my mili
tary appearance, my precision and smart
ness of action and the sparkle in my eye;
that I am one of the finest of Uncle
Sain's manly men and thfct ! am sol
diering as hard as I can soldier.
Godliness.
7. I will strive to be an Ideal In my
life as was Sir Galls had. 1 will live,
that dving 1 may know that my pa
triotic sacrifice has not been in \ain.
