Elevator Co., of Mount Morris, Mich.,

5 It has been found that the effi

1 : of their families at home, and the
1 j Red Cross has been the natural

I required aid. This work was for
I merly carried on in person by the
; representatives of the Red Cross dc
' partment of military relief, but the
! work assumed such proportions that
' it demanded separate administration,
and will now be handled by the de
partment of civilian relief.

WOMAN ON U.S.
SUBMARINE SHOWS
Cooking under water has its dis
advantages, but when you have a
nice waterproof kitchen on one of
Uncle Sam's safe submarines it is
not so bad, according to Mrs. M. A.
Wilson, of Philadelphia, who trains
cooks for the United States navy.
Enlisted men are Mrs. Wilson's
students and pupils and she conducts
some of her cooking classes on board
battleships and submarines. She
tells of being 40 hours under water
on a submarine.
Housewives who are interested in
submarine cooking will learn from
Mrs. Wilson that the intense cold
! from the bottom of the ocean must
be considered on a submarine.
“Electric stoves are used,” she
says, “but food which requires a
high temperature must be cooked
before the submarine rs submerged.”
She tells of her work in this way:
“I began with a class of 50 men.
Today I have 1,000 men undei
training.
“I have spent days taking oil
ranges apart to find out why the
men could not make them work,
finally discovering that it was be
cause they had kept the flames too
high. The work done has conformed
; entirely to navy requirements. One
must find the amount of food
named in the rgulations to serve at
a cost of 45 cents a day.
The cooking course lasts five
weeks, every day from 5:30 to I
p. m. Every man must know how
to make bread and under very diffi
cult conditions from those on land.
■
The variation in temperature is great
and the water used must come from
the ocean.
“The boys are enthusiastic about
their work and I don’t believe I have
ever seen a finer class of men. We
have doctors, lawyers, clerks—all
professions and trades represented.
There have been practically no fail
ures.
“In Boston 225 men were turned
over to me to train as commissary
stewards. I did not know what was
required of such an officer. I went
to Cape Henlopen to find out what
a commissary steward was supposed
to do. Then I immediately put these
225 men into white suits such as
navy cooks wear and put them into
the kitchen to learn how to cook as
a foundation.”

Secretary McAdoo has authorized
! the United States Public Health to
! make an investigation for the pur
; pose of improving methods of pre
vention and control of communicable
diseases, especially near the army
i cantonments. The study, which will
: be commenced immediately, will in
volve both field and laboratory
, work, and special facilities at the
| United States Hygenic Laboratory
at Washington will be utilized. The
work will relate largely to the stand
ardization and preparation of serums
The first serum to be studied will
be that used in cerebrospinal menin
gitis. The prevalence of this dis
ease at this time and the fact that
this serum has been found to be the
most effective treament for the dis
ease show the importance of such a
study.
In the present war the American
soldiers have remained practically
free from typhoid fever because of
the use of anti-typhoid vaccine. It
has also been used with great sue
cess by the Public Health Service in
sanitary areas adjoining military and
naval reservations for the purpose
of protecting the civil population
and the troops. The miningitis serum
is generally used only to cure that
disease, but when so used, it is cap
able of doing much toward reducing
the prevalence of meningitis.
The Public Health Service wil
endeavor to find methods for secur
ing a more reliable serum for men
ingitis and will then, through its
control over the sale of these pro
ducts in interstate traffic, see thai
these methods are used. It is ex

I LATE P. T. BARNUM’S AIDE
LEAVES $2100 ESTATE
Charles Marehland, the man who
assisted the late P. T. Barnum to
prove that there’s “one borne every
minute,” left an estate valued at i
$2100 in Mutnomah county, accord
ing to the petition for the probate of
his will, which was filed recently in
in the county court.
Mr. Marehland. who was a resi
dent of New York in his declining

years, is said to be the man who j
first painted one of Barnum's big I
elephants a snowy white and assist-j
ed the late circus man to his fame
j as a showman. Mr. Marehand was
an inventor.
A peculiar coincidence in the
j signing of his last will was brought

“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
