Camp Funnton'B health Plate has
been wiped practically clean of ser
ious ailments and never neve health
conditions boen better It la said by
Lt Col. J. Lt Shepardt Division Sur
geon for General Leonard Wood's
forcoa. The spinal meningltlr. epidem
ic which str.rtcd In the camp of the
9th dlvlnion two months ago has
been eradUated by the most Intensive
efforts of medical officers who left
nothing undone to stamp out the din
case. Since. Dec. 30th there has not
been a ninglo caoe in twelve days, A
few cases of mumps In a mild form
and some measles which is being
topped rapidly, forms the entire
CQStageous roster of the camp.
On camp Funsion's "Gay White
Way" the sone, which iirapidly npar
lng completion under the direction of
Lt. Dick B. Foster, Is an institution
which proves beyond doubt its value,
and the need for the soldier's recrea
tion. This is the pool hall, a big
place with sixty tables which has
been opened for some lime, and al
lowed to enter. Only 150 men may
be In the building at the r.jme time,
Jid almost every night even when
the thermometer is hovering around
the zero point, soldiers can be seen in
line outside of the door, waiting
their turn to enter. When the place
baa 150 men In lt a guard is placed
at the door. Then, if two men come
out, two In the outside line are allow
ed to enter, and so on. The number
allowed in the building is restricted
because of the ruling which did not
allow large gatherings while any dis
ease was prevalent in camp. It is
likely that tho restrictions will be ro
aaoved soon as there are but few
eases of sickness now.
French conversation is spreading
like a rash throught the camp since
the commencement of the many
French classes. Conversations like
he following take place daily.
"Que voulez your?"
"I coo vooley voo that I wasen't
on guard tonight. I coo vooley that
kitchen police was In ."
Can you get ahead of the American
doughboy? No brother, it can't be
done as a chesty young second lleu
tnant at Cnmp Funston dlscovertd.
A bit of "swank'l might be but nat
ural In one so young, with a brand
new commission and all but not In
the eyes of his company, who plotted
darkly at the swagger stick, the
cocky angle of his hat nnd his curt
commando.
The other day a dandy new stet
son was delivered to tho lieutenant
with the compliments of bta company.

Last Tuesday night a burglar or
some tramp wanting to get warm
pried open the rear windows of the
Herald office and entered. He must
of had a hard time as he knocked
over various things In the shop and
left the water faucet run all night.
If he was a burglar he didn't find
what he was looking for, as nothing
was taken, euessuiny one would find
a printing office poor picking.

InUre AND THE WAR
Enrollment in American public
schools haa been affected toy the war,
but not to the extent of making It
Icps than last year, according to fig
ures complied by the Department of
the Interior through the Bureau of
Education. Figures roin 14U citt?a
and 696 countiec or dtetrictc show
an increase of close to the normal a
mount of 2 per cent In cicmcntft y
wheals. In high schools, however,
the increase is only one-rourth of the
UBtial 9H percent.
Such Increase as there z tn high
school enrollment is caused, by the
g'ii students. Fewer boyB r.re en
rolled thic year! In every class In high
school except the fourth; apt r.rently
there is a healthy tendency for boys
In the senior year to remain and grad
uate. In city clemcntrry schools tho in
crease in enrollment is actually sOme
whnt above normal; but in c:ty high
cchcols there is oj marked falling off,
especially amonp: the boys.
Country schools n' ow rome gains
over last year both in elementary and
high cchcol enrollment, but not M
great as would be expected under nor
mal conditienn. Rural high schools
chow increases for both boyrs and
girln, despite the war.

FACE the FACTS
LET us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to skip. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was 6ver patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
America's Own Food Corn 1 It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section of our country it
has blong een the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something Com! It isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
oi its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
t
HOT BREADS
Boston brown bread.
Hoecake.
Muffins.
Biscuits.
Griddle cakes.
Waffles.
DESSERTS
Corn-meal molasses cake.
Apple corn bread.
Dumplings.
Gingerbread.
Fruit gems.
HEARTY DISHES
Corn-meal croquettes. Corn-meal fish balls.
Meat and corn-meal dumplings.
Italian polenta. Tamales.
The recipes are in Farmers' Bulletin 565, "Corn
Meal as a Food and Ways of Using It," free from the
Department of Agriculture.
