THE AR5V1Y CANTEEN.

Tho old tlmo antler lias been super
seded by tlio modorn canteen. Alloflorts
to tntrcxluco the muulnlous system of
robbing noldlers which prevailed during
tho civil war havo boon turned down
by tho government. Under tlio now deal
ench camp has n canteen, ns tlio plnco
of Bupply Is called, which is under tho
supervision of tlio commanding ofllccr
and is often run under tho inimcdlato
chargo of a commlttro of olllcers np

everything that n soldier needs to havo
and somo things which tho tempcrauco
pooplo &ay ho does not need, No profit
is mado by tho canteen. Tho commis
sary department buys all tho goods in
tho cheapest market in tho country and
sells to tho soldiers at cost Uncle Sam
carries on really a losing gamo as a
storekeeper, for ho is "out" every year
just what it cost him to transport tho
goods from tho cheapest market to tho
different canteens. IIo peckcts this loss,
however, with his accustomed good na
ture, charging it up to tho account of
what is known as equalization of pay.
This equalisation is an interesting mat
ter. It grows out of tho variations in
prices between different parts of tho
country. For example, an nllowanco is
mado to an officer of a certain amount a
mouth for fuel, but in somo parts of tho
country a cord of wood would cost $7,
whilo in others it might bo had for $3
To adjust this Undo Sam has fixed
up what is known ns an equalization.
IIo makes a unit of ono cord at $3 nil
over tho country, which is declared to
bo tho equal of 1,700 pounds of authra
cito coal or 2,000 pounds of soft coal.
Thus each officer can tnko his fuel nl
lowanco in coal or wood or its equal in
money in any pait of tho country, and
if ho desires in any month to exceed his
allowanco for fuc 1 ho can buy from tho
government nt cost price.
Thus by means of the canteen tho
soldier is tho beat buyer in tho country,
for he buys through tho government in
enormous quantities and in absolutely
tho cheapest market A glass of beer in
tho canteen costs only 2 cents. And
hero is wliero tho temperance folks en
ter their protost. This governmental
policy of boiling a glass of beer at buch
a prico not only sets tho prohibitionists
"by tho ears, but it hits tho high license
men a hard blow.
A list of articles has been approved
by tho secretary of war, which will bo
kept for salo to officors and men by tho
subsistence department. Theso articles
compriso many so called delicacies,
Which aro calculated to be especially ac
ceptable for tho uso of soldiers in tho
Sold. In the list are included canned
apples, peaches and pears, canned meats
not included in tho regular noM rations,
cheese, chocolate, canned green corn,
canned milk, oatmeal, soups of various
kinds, sugars, jams, jellies, sirups,
canned peas and cranberry Banco. Tho

tobacco, soap, buttons, needles, pins,
thread, stationery, brushes, combs,
handkerchiefs and many similar arti
cles. Tlio quartermaster general in n
letter to the secretary of war says that
tho experience had by tho subsistence
department in tho handling of theso
articles has been acquired during a long
period of peace, but that tho only trial
vhich tho army has been able to give
tho "post canteen" system was during
tho Sioux disturbances in 1891.
' Whilo tho canteen system will doubt
Iocs have its defects, no tears will bo
shed over tho passing of the sutler.
Tho caso is known of a man who offered
8211.600 for tho privilege of stnrtini u
sutler's store at a certain camp even
with tho knowledgo that tho camp
would not last more than 30 days. ThU
gives an idea of tlio enormous profits tho
sutler used to reap. It is ostimated that
tour-fifths of all ruoiioy taken in by tho
antler was profit. Ho often sold liquors
and always tobacco and overy other lux
ury or necessity for the soldiers, and it
often occurred that at tho end of tho
.month tho private's pay would lo un
equal to the task of wiping hltf score off
tho fclate.

ofllcirs, anittho men in tho ranks could
not obtain rfny of it without an ordor
from mi olnccr. When communication
with tho north wan open and freo to
tho transportation of other than supplies
for tho army, tho butler was cnablod to
procuro a supply of beer. For 10 cents
tho soldier could got n small tineupful.
On tho auspicious day when tho pay
master enmo around on his periodical
trips ith big Imudlcs of greenbacks to
pay off his soldiers tlio sutler was on
hand with his accounts. Tho sutler
was n preferred creditor, and ns sucli
tho paymaster gavo him tho first dip in
to tho boldier's inonoy. In many cases
tho soldiers wero in dobt to tho sutler
for tho full amount of their pay, and
thcreforo did not get anything. This
finally btcamo such a common occur
rcuco that tho government took action
in tho matter, fixing tho amount above
which tho sutler could not givo credit.
For everything tho sutler Bold ho
chnrged exorbitant prices. His immenso
gains wero offsot in a number of ways,
however. Sometimes tho soldiers on n
lark or to got oven for his oxtortlonato
chargos raided tho sutler's tent nnd car
ried off what thoy wanted. On tho
march tho sutler's wagon was allowed
to travel with tho army wagon train.
At times theso trains wero left in tho
rear when tho troops wero making forced
marches or wero on detached duty, and
then tho sutler did not seo his regiment
for months nt a time.
Tho only troublo thus fnr encountered
in tho new canteen system is on tho
liquor quostiou. Tho post exchanges aro
not subject to tho internal revenuo tax
nor to tho payment for stato licenses
This latter isuo was fought out two
years ago at Fort Robinson, Nob., whero
tho local officials had the oxchnngo offi
cials arrested for not paying tho stato
tax. In this case, as in tho caso of most
old established army posts, tho land
which tho garrison occupied was ceded
by the stato to tho general government
without reserving to tho stato tho power
of taxing tho exchaugo or making un
lawful tho salo of liquors thero without
a Etato llrea.se. Tho United States dis-

trict court, therefore, decided that the
stato did not have concurrent jurisdic
tion with tho United States on lauds
which had been ceded unconditionally
by the stato to tho general government.
Colonol Clous, now judgo advocato
of tho army, department of tho east,
who was ono of tho representatives of
the war department in tho Fort Robin
son caso, argued tho matter on the solo
quostion of how complete tho aot of
cession was and did not touch anothor
point, which bo believes would have
been bold to bo good law, that the post
oxchnngo is an instrumentality of tho
general government and theref oro is not
subject in any way to tho supervision
of any state authority.
As an instrument of tho general gov
ernment tho stato conld not touch it.
But this view would not hold in all of
tho states, for by act of congross ap
proved June 13, 1800, it is provided
thnt no alcoholic liquors shall bo sold or
supplied to any enlisted man in any
camp or garrison or military post in any
state or territory in which the salo of
alcoholic liquors, beer or wine is pro
hibited by law. This, of course, doos
not bar officers from running a post ex
change for themselves in a prohibition
state. There nro four such states
Maine, Vermont, Now Hampshire and
Kansas. There is no army post iu New
Hampshire In Mnino there is Fort Pro
ble; in Vermont, Fort Ethan Allen; in
Kansas, Fort Itiloy and Fort Leaven
worth. Colonol Clons says ho under
stands that no liquor is sold to enlisted
men at either of tho last two posts.
Besides these prohibition states, there
are several southern states in which tho
prinoiplo of local option by counties
prevails, and if any of tho present vol
unteer camps aro established in these
local option counties tlio federal law
quoted evidently applies to them.
Even in tho regular army cantoens
nothing in tho way of intoxicating
liqnors, oxcept beer and light wines, is
sold, and this, no doubt, would bo tho
rule in canteens in volunteer camps. In
tho regular army the proceeds of tho
canteen, which at some posts are con
siderable, aro dovoted entirely to buy
ing additional provender for tho sol
diers, dolicncics which tho unyielding
army ration docs not supply. Thus
whatever profit thero is goes entirely to
tho soldiers from whom tho profit hai
come. Oykvh Svr vrwtkh

For the Preservation of Health.
"Whilo tho authorities nro taking ov
ery poBslblo precaution to pro'scrvo tho
health of our soldiers in Cuba tlfcro Is
no disposition to bolittlo tho notunl dan
gers that exist. Surgeon GonoralGoorgo
M. Stornborg cnlls nttoutlou to tho fnct
that iu tho Inst wook of April Inst year
thord woro 17 deaths and 70 nowcnsos
of yollow fovcr iu tho city of Havana.
Now, supposo that wo had a similar
number of cases at tho samo season in
Now Orlcnus and that 20,000 strangers
from tho north should go thero to spend
tho summer. What would bo tho result?
All past oxperieuco supports tho bollof
that a majority of them would hnvo
yollow fovor nnd that from 20 to 40 por
cent of thoso taken sick would dlo.
"If," says Dr. Sternberg, "our troops
could bo encamped upon high land in
tho interior and circumstances wero such
as to ouablo them to comply with all
tho oxactions of modern sanitary scienco,
I am of the opinion that our loss from
yollow fovcr would not bo serious, but
in timo of war military commanders
aro oxpeoted to tnko tholr troops to tho
points occupied by tho enemy, nnd a
plenio in tho interior, with froqucnt
changes of camp, etc., is porhnps not
exactly what wo may expect. I am not
an alarmist, but I boliovo in looking
facts fairly in tho fnco."
Cleanliness is absolutely essential to
health and lifo in Cuba, but nil baths
must bo medicated. A plungo in tho
fresh wntor of Cuba moans suro sick
ness to tho porsou who takes it. Tho
wator is polluted with nil tho malaria
of tho Eoil, and typhoid and cholera nro
in overy drop, not to mention typhus
nnd othor harmful influences. Tho proper
drags for tho medication of baths oro
put up in tablot form and nro supplied
to tho army froo of cost.
In tho matter of eating inability to
resist temptation means death. Cuba
abounds in fruits nnd nuts, but they
must not bo eaten at first. Tho first day
on tho island tho soldier must abstain
from everything oxcopt coffconnd bread
if ho is going to koop his health. Tho
bread is tho hard nnny bread, and tho
coffco mny bo only a supply of tho
ship's coffco, but ho rnust bo contented
with it; othcrwiso ho will certainly be
ill. Tho second day ho can look around
and tnko n further chanco, but let him
only cat that to which ho is accustomed.
SR. GEORGE M. BTERKDERO.
Canned goods, potatoes, dried fish,
crackers and such simplo food as ho has

Tho matter of clothing 1b important.

Ho has not been accustomed to boing

them in cold water until thoy aro'thor

and march in them until thoy dry upon
his feet. Ho will not tnko cold on tho
march. When tho shoes havo dried,
thoy will havo formed thomsolves to

Water is something tho soldior must
not drink. This ho must put down in

Ho can bo positivo of this, for not one
wator drinker out of CO has over escaped

Instead of plain water a medicated
wator must bo takon. This is boiled wa

is not necessary to ndd over threo drops,
