"W&. GREAT LAKES SAILORS i« HE CONSERVE FOOD ioys Well Fed, Birtmtiomg Their lit Toward Saving Wheat, Meat and ? Sugar-All Waste Utilized. Hi •• 'fiThree Meals Daily for Less Than Forty-one :,:mpm<mJ& Cents -- Beans Favorite Food. &^&^ i9p£;ft'3i;;/' "We arc told to save food, but the v army and navy have everything they ■:-i want," Is a more or less familiar com- plaint heard from occasional civilians when asked to save that extra slice of bread or lump of sugar for our toys in the service. Disregarding the fact that these men who are fighting our battles are the men who we are conserving for, the complaining civilian goes even farther and declares that food saved through Food Administration regulations is carelessly wasted In army and navy ^y-eamps. In order to dispel any possible be- "illef in this bit of German propaganda, Sthe Division of Education of the Illinois Food Administration decided to send |^a representative on a personal visit §rto the largest navy camp In the world, ^Ithe Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- v'tion at Great Lakes, III. Boys Well Fed. Here Is the result of the investlga- »tlon, which included visits to the mess !■'•;.i^halls and Interviews with the paymas- ter in charge of supplies, commissary :% 'Stewards, and ships' cooks at the stn- Ction. The boys are well fed, as robust 'hoys who drill- and work in the open >should be, but not a scrap of food i§ ^•wasted, ^y" >|| Tl:a general opiniqri among commis- v'vsary stewards at the Greot Lakes is ; isithat more food can be saved by allow- V'ling the men to express their choice ^In the quantity and kinds of food on Sg|5the day's menu than could be possible «l|were certain set amounts placed he- ,f||[fore each man regardless of his likes '::s||and dislikes or appetite. ^iM9:M'^'% lip ;■:*• '111Cafeteria Plan Preferred. Jisf A*t "Camp Boone, the incoming de- ^^tention camp, whose cook, one "Packy * "^Schwartz," is known to every man at |the Great Lakes for the generous way in which he looks out for the welfare •of his men, the cafeteria system is be- lieved to be the best means of con- .'; .-nerving food. '^-^M^^t^vMSi/U^'^, As the men line up* for "choV" they : Hie past a long counter in a single |line, where they make known exactly •what they want and are cautioned to 'take no more than they can eat. For •example, if a man does not care for Thread, he passes that up, but perhaps lie has a special liking for beans. In Munich case he announces in the ver- nacular of the navy, "Heavy on the beans," and the man at the counter gives him an extra helping. Beans Favorite Dish. And speaking of beans, Packcy" Schwartz, who has fed United States sailors for 14 years, declares that de- spite the prevailing belief in tin* un- popularity of beans among the men In the service, he has found neverthe- less that beans are the most popular -dish In the navy. After beans, pies find the greatest favor among (he men, Jhe declares. ;y§ "You won't find a scrap of food ^wasted here," he said as he led the "way through the immaculate kitchens --Of his galley, stopping now and then f-to ask you to hazard a guess as to 3 <!the number of sausages cooking in one of the huge copper kettles, and smil- ing at your look of amazement as he #tells you the kettle contains 1,000 "<"-,^pounds of pork sausages all of which ■'•i^Will be consumed by hungry "blue jackets" of this one particular camp at their evening meal. 'i'j "Yes, there are 220 gallons of cocoa W)king in this copper, and here there Hare 300 gallons of iced tea." he went *-?on, "but not a bit of all this will be 'Sjwasted, as the number of rations is- j1:«ued daily has all been carefully fig- 3=lired out, and provisions made for all "possible left-overs." >Q When a quantity of left-over bread |:*ccumlates, for instance, the boys usu- V ally find themselves eating bread pud- rjdAng, or breaded pork chops the next .v*'.:3day. -f'^W '"':3 <y"'-':':-::.. ^ With a letter in his hand as means of identification. Charles Bold, age 12. walked from a train at the Union station at" Columbus the other night and told the authorities that his mother, of Covington, Ky.. had sent him up north in response «to an ad- vertisement relative to the adoption of a bright boy. No Sugar Bowls on Tables. p$fj No sugar bowls are in evidence in any of the 44 mess hails at the Oreut Lakes. Sugar and milk are both put into the tea and coffee before it reaches the men in order that there be no possible waste of these two arti- cles. Three Meat a for 41 Cents. :-j Because of the strict economy ob- served by all commissary stewards and cooks each man at the Great Lakes is given three well balanced meals a day at an average cost of not quite 41 cents a day. The government allows $10,395.71 daily for feeding 25,410 men at the Great Lakes, but of this a large pro- portion is saved each day. This sav- ing from March to July of this year was all in bread and meat,' the two commodities the civilian population has also been asked to conserve. "We are using a trifle over the aver- age amount of fresh vegetables and fruits and milk at present, as we have been ordered to save the canned goods for the men of the fleets who need it more than we do here on land." said one commissary steward when ques- tioned as to what they were using most. Ten paymasters with the rank of Ensign have recently been sent to the Great Lakes froi-i the east to attend a school for bakers and cooks where all phases of scientific cooking will be taught. |||| ' ':'/£ During January?5" February and March of this year 1,828.032.42 pounds of fresh meat were consumed in ad- dition to 123,452.25 pounds of smoked meat. Besides this 9.606,780 fresh eggs were used. As these amounts were divided up among 20.909 men, ..itjs evident that any mother within soil at the Great Lakes need have no cause to worry for fear her boy will not be properly fed; but in spite of the fact that the total cost covering the feeding of all men connected with the station during the first three months of this year was $861,156,411. the garbage ratio was but two and one-fourth pounds to each man, which included all refuse, even empty cans, etc, ^ \ V; Utilize Garbage. A thoroughly efficient garbage dis- posal plan Is In operation at the Great Lakes. All refuse Is collected In 60- gallon cans and the cans themselves are loaded on trucks and shipped a short distance for hog feed. By this system of shipping the garbage in the original cans, the strictest sanitation is observed, as the garbage is never touched after It leaves the galleys. The navy also has its own meat in- spectors at the Union Stock Yards, Chi- cago, and all meat issued to the Great Lakes Is passed upon by the govern- ment agent before It is put Into the cars, and again on its nrrival at the Station. A final inspection Is also made before the .meat Is served to the l i i en $ I %^2 ;¥/]4;v^-^121" -:^ivWSi> ^^'■'■$' AI i kitchens and mess halls as well as barracks are Inspected at least- once weekly, nt which time not the slightest detail escapes the inspecting officer, who runs white gloved hands over shelves and pokes into all avail- able crocks and crevices in a thor- ouchly industrious search for dirt.]% The Great Lakes Naval Training Station Is clean, the boys are well fed. and each and every one of them Is doing his share toward conservation of food, and utilization of waste. If civilians do as much as these enlisted boys of our navy are doing. Uncle Sam will have no cause to worry about food waste. ..v .r;'.;."; CHURCHES A inounctmenls of the atrtices held in the tarious Wibnttlt Church** WUmette Baptist Caarca.

Report him to the Bureau of Investigation, 713 Conway Building, Chicago. > Alex McAfee and Joe Johnson, ar- rested for being intoxicated in Flint. Mich., had four quarts of patent medicine left. Charles Skeer, a wealthy retired farmer of Belleville, 111., has accepted a position on the police force in order that younger men might enlist. Here is a way in which every good citizen of a community can serve his country: 1. If you see a stranger in uniform in your community, find out who he is and all about him. If he is upon a proper errand he will be able to establish the fact. If he cannot ac- count for himself, fully, report him as a possible deserter. 2. If there is an unknown man of draft age in your community, find out who he is and where-he is re- gistered. If he has no card--rcg:st ration, call or exemption--report him to the nearest agent of the depart- ment of justice or the county chair- man of the State Coucil of Defense. Everyone should remember that a registrant who has been called but who. at the time set for his induc- tion into service, fails to report, fails to entrain for his mobilization camp or stops off on the way to camp, is a deserter and subject to punishment by court martial. Any policeman has authority to arrest a deserter and take him before a local exemption board, which will take the necessary further steps. The govern- ment pays all actual expenses in all cases, including expenses, of $50 for each man. ,/y"^ The Adjutant General's office' of the U. S. Army has called upon the State Council of Defense to help ap- prehend deserters and men who have failed to register, and the State Council is, in turn, calling upon all members of its local organizations to take part in the work. A bulletin to that effect will go to all county executive committees in a few days. The Department of Justice also has men in various part of the state (hunting out deserters and slackers. J Neither the State Council nor the j Department of Justice can do effect- ive work, however, without the help of all good citizens of all communi- ties, so they are appealed to by the State Council to do their share. A good citizen who does not wish to make an investigation personally should report a suspicious case to the State Council's county chairman for his county, and he will do the rest, or Jiave it done. Go ahead and shoot--with camera --at Great Lakes. Secretary Daniels told the commandant, Captain Wil- liam A. Moffctt, that civilians will be allowed to carry cameras and take photograph of sailors and buildings.
