Training Cooks for the World’s Best Fed Army
America prides itself on producing the best fed, best clothed, best equipped army in the world. Helping
to maintain this standard are the schools for bakers and cooks. Left: At the Fort Sam Houston school
students are learning to prepare coffee with a tripod and a Dixie Boiler. The men kneeling are heating de
hydrated foods in their mess kits over the fire. Center: A student baker is adding shortening to other ingredi
ents in the dough mixer. Bakers learn to operate movable and immovable equipment. Right: A typical
doughboy samples the result of the school’s training. Ninety per cent of the students who become expert
oooks and bakers were not able to fry potatoes properly before entering training school.
Broken Jaws Can Now Chew Steak While Healing
Skeletal fixation of fractures of the mandible—that Is the medical phrase for a new technique of setting
broken Jaws so that they can be used while healing. These pictures illustrating the method were made at a
naval dental clinic. 1. After the X-ray shows the line of fracture a surgeon paints a line to indicate the posi
tion of the break. 2. A stout needle is screwed into the face. Three such pins are set in on both sides of
the fracture line. 3. The pins are bridged by a strong steel rod which bolds them tightly keeping the two
parts of the Jawbone together. 4. The patient, practically scarless, returns to his normal activities.

SMOKES and the SOLDIER
Is it true that a soldier is always
hungry?
Yes—up to a point But the Quarter
master Department has found that
some soldiers, particularly new re
cruits, actually don’t eat enough.
The Army mess table is exactly
like a football team's training table.
The food served there is carefully
planned to aid in the physical devel
opment of the soldier. And the Army
has discovered certain little ways to
Increase Johnny Doughboy’s appetite.
The Army has found it can add to a
soldier’s enjoyment of his food—and
therefore increase his consumption of
all those carefully prepared vitamins,
minerals, and proteins—if he is al
lowed to smoke during meals. Meas
ured tests run by the Quartermaster’s
Department show that food consump
tion actually increased by 5% when
soldiers were permitted to smoke cig
arettes at the mess table.
“Smokes,” of course, play a prom
inent part in many phases of the life
of a soldier. Whenever you see a
news photo of soldiers at ease, you’re
apt to see them enjoying a cigarette.
Particularly among American troops
overseas, cigarettes—real American
cigarettes—are highly prized and al
most never present in sufficient
quantities.
What kind of cigarettes do Uncle
Sam’s fighting men prefer? Well,
records snow that the favorite cigar
ette is Camel. That is true not only
with men in the Army, but with Sail
ors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen
as well. Sales records from the serv
ice men’s own stores—Post Ex
change, Sales Commissaries, Ship’s
Service Stores, Ship’s Stores, and
Canteens—show that Camels are first
with men in all branches of the serv
ice.
Further proof that Uncle Sam’s
fighting men like their smokes is
given in the service man’s preference
m gifts from home—it’s a carton of
his favorite brand of cigarettes. To
bacco dealers, recognizing that Cam
els are the favorite among service
men, are equipped to help you In
properly wrapping, addressing, and
stamping your gift of Camels to the
man in the service.—Adv.
