HEALTH AT CUSTER
NEARLY PERFECT
LESS THAN ONE PEJ CENT OF
MEN ON SICK LIST, SINCE
CAMP WAS OPENED.
MOST SANITARY PLACE IN STATE
Food, Kitchens, Receptacles. Barracks
and Bedding Are- Inspected Daily
0 Regimental Surgeons.
Camp Custer, Battle Creek The
health report of the first month of the
camp's existence shows a sick list of
less than one per cent and not a sin
gle death attributable to camp con
ditions. Health conditions are superior to
those of any municipality in Michigan,
physicians say, and the thousands of
men who are making this their home
have been safeguarded against dis
ease as they never were before.
There have been a few deaths at
Camp Custer. Epilepsy caused some
and alcoholic excesses practiced prior
to arrival was responsible for others.
Probably In no other place in Michi
gan is there such a searching inspec
tion of sanitary conditions. Each
regiment has its infirmary with a regi
mental surgeon and assistants. Twice
ach day men are requested to report
If they require medical attention. The
Infirmary cares for the light cases.
The more serious ones are Bent to the
base hospital.
Dut tho preventative work goe? deep
er than this, regimental surgeons each
day Inspect every kitchen, every ice
box. the food, the garbage cans, the
barracks and the bedding.
They look at the mes3 kits which
the men use to determine whether they
are clean. If any one company reports
a slight Illness among several men, the
matter immediately becomes a subject
for investigation and a report must
be made on the findings.
The blankets ,in which the men
sleep are hung from tho windows of
the barracks and sunned and aired. At
regular intervals bedding and cloth
ing are washed.
And as for the men, whole compan
ies are sent to the showers and are
accompanied by officers who see that
the matter of personal cleanliness is
not overlooked.
PLEDGE WOMEN TO SAVE FOCD
Ford Administration Plans State Wide
Campaign.
Lansing Tho executive committee
of the state food administration at a
conference of Food Administrator
Prescott and Government Expert S.
H. Freeman, laid tentative plans for
securing the co-operation of every wo
man in Michigan.
Pledges will be exacted by personal
canvass in every corner of the state in
the week of October 21. Until that
time the executive committee will
spend most of its time perfecting an
organization.
The wheatless and meatless days
will not be mentioned on the pledges
to be exacted; instead the housewives
will be asked merely to accept the sug
gestions of Food Director Hoover in
regard to the conservation of food.
Later will come the pertinent sugges
tions regarding the substitution of
some other food for meat and white
bread.
The selection of Tuesdays and Wed
nesdays of these two days will prob
ably stand, although word from Wash
ington indicates that their selection
is only tentative.
The work is to be done by means of
county committees.
MANY HOPE TO BECOME OFFICERS
Thousands At Camp Custer Aspire to
Higher Rank.
Camp Custer, Battle Creek Fort
Sheridan stands as a great beacon
of hope before some of the drafted
men in Camp Custer. Waco, Texas,
stands as a possibility before others.
There are thousands of drafted men
who have developed an ambition to
attain to rank as officers. They are
anxiously awaiting the conclusion of
the present term at Fort Sheridan.
There is -quite a general speculation
among army men to the effect that
the next Fort Sheridan class will be
composed, not of men from civilian
life, bat of soldiers selected from the
regular, the national guard and the
national army.
WITH THE BOYSAT CAMPCUSTER
Several of -the late arrivals lost
themselves in camp and were com
pelled to ask tho Y. M. C. A. worker
to help locate their barrcks.
The state has offered $2,500 a mile
and the government $10,001) a mile for
a new paved way to Camp Custer if
the county will pay half. The road
would cost $S0,000.
Officers have issued the warning
that letters and packages addressed
to soldiers at Camp Custer must bear
the regimental designation and if pos
sible the company or battery designa
tion, or, suffer considerable delay.
"John Jones, IJattery A, 339th Field
Artillery, Camp Custer, Mich.," is the
proper form of address for prompt delivery.

Too Many Cooks
NATIONAL GUARD
IS RE-ORGANIZED
THREE MICHIGAN UNITS WIPED
OUT BECOME 125TH AND
126TH INFANTRY.
FORM 63rd FIGHTING BRIGADE
General Coved Saves Identity of
Michigan TroopsWere Slated to
Become Depot Brigade.
Camp McArthur, Waco, Tex. Com
pletely losing its identity as a regi
ment, the Thirty-first Michigan infan
try upon its arrival at Camp McAr
thur, Waco, was split up and the en
listed men and officers were divided
between the old Thirty-second and
Thirty-third.
No sooner had Colonel Ambrose C.
rack announced the safe arrival here
of all the Thirty-first men than he was
informed by General Lewis C. Covell,
commander of the Michigan forces,
that lomplete reorganization of all the
state guard had been completed.
Here are some of ' the important
points ii the reorganization:
The 1 hirty-flrst, Thirty-second and
Thirty-third regiments are wiped out
as such; in their places there will be
the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth and
the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth in
fantry. Cavalry outfits are transferred to ar
tillery and there will be no cavalry
troops in the National Guard.
Michigan troops will form what is
known as a fighting brigade, the sixty-third,
and are likely to go to France
early in 1918.
A machine gun battalion of three
companies will be part of the Sixty
third brigade.
Commanding the brigade will be
General Lewis C. Covell; Colonel John
B. Boucher, former commander of the
Thirty-third, will command the Ono
Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry,
and Colonel Joseph B. Westledgs, who
commanded the old Thirty-second In
the north, will command the new One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry.
Identity of Troops Saved.
That the Michigan guard was not
made the Fifty-seventh depot brigade
as had been ordered, was due entire
ly to the activity of General Covell, of
ficers here said.
If the Michigan soldiers had been
used as a reserve force, then they
would have been scattered among the
Wisconsin fighting regiments and
would have lost their identity. The
result of this would have been that
when the history of Ihe war was writ
ten Michigan troops would have re
ceived no credit for participation.
Claiming that this was a decided in
justice. General Covell, after many
conferences, won over the department,
and instead of Wisconsin having two
fghting brigades, she now has one
fighting brigade and one depot brigade,
and Michigan has one fighting brigade.
TEUTON PLANES RAID ENGLAND
Strongest Attack Yet Attempted Car
ried Out by Four Squadrons.
London The strongest air attack
yet attempted on London and the
coast towns by the Germans was car
ried out Monday night by four groups
of hostile airplanes. Some of the ma
chines got through to London and
bombed the Kouthwcstern district.
A terrific barrage was rent up from
thy defense guns and the roar of
battle lasted intermittently for two
and a half hours.
The Germans bombed coast towns
as they passed over and proceeded to
ward London. Two of the groups suc
ceeded in getting a number of ma
chines through the sky barrage. Nu
merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district, which is thick
ly populated.

166 I. W.W. LEAD IRS INDICTED
Charged With Conspiracy to Hamper
Government During War.
Chicago Formal return of a blan
ket indictment charging a nation-wide
conspiracy to hamper the government
during the war has been made In the
United States district court here
against 1C6 leaders of the Industrial
Workers of the World.
Seditious conspiracy the crime
nearest to treason within the deflnl
tion of the criminal code Is charged.
This offense is punishable by six
years' imprisonment or $5,000 fine, or
both.
Indictments are understood to be
based upon revelations brought to light
in the recent country-wide seizure by
federal authorities of documents and
correspondence of the I. W. W. in
approximately 50 towns and cities.
These documents are understood to
have revealed the existence of a con
spiracy, the most far-reaching in its
scope of any yet unearthed, to em
barrass tho government in the prose
cution of the war by resistance to the
draft law, by fomenting labor distur
bances, by burning crops and forests
and in numerous other ways.
A camparatively small coterie of
men is understood to have directed
the entire movement.
The evidence laid before the grand
jury was of such volume as actually
to weigh a ton or more.
U. S. AVERTS SEAMEN'S STRIKE
Great Lakes Sailors Get Pay Increase
Through Shipping Board.
Washington A strike of Great
Lakes seamen, set for Monday was
averted by union leaders when the
shipping board, serving as arbitrator
in their dispute with carriers, decided
to grant the wage Increases demanded.
Other demands were waived, pending
investigation by the board.
The dispute v:as brought to the ship
ping board w-hen it appeared the car
riers' refusal to deal with the sea
men's union had defeated all hope of
an adjustment. Both sides agreed to
abide by the board's decisions Ln all
except the demand for union recogni
tion, which the carriers still refuse to
meet
The men asked a minimum for sea
men in October and November of $95
a month. The carriers had declined to
pay more than $85. Deck hands will
receive $60 a month. It has been the
custom on the lakes for years to pay
higher wages during the last two
months of the operating season. The
summer rate for seamen this year was
$72.
TEUTONS WEAKER, SAYS BAKER
Secretary of War Says German
Strength Is On Wane.
Washington Shaken, but still pow
erful, is the estimate of Germany's
defensive strength on the western
front given in this week's official com
munique, issued by the war depart
ment, under the name of Secretary
Baker.
The superiority of the British "over
their enemies, the communique says,
has conclusively been proved by the
last week's fighting; while it has dem
onstrated that the fighting stamina of
the German is deteriorating.
Of the activities of the American
force ln Europe, the communique says
absolutely nothing. Of the forces at
home, it reports mobilization of the
national guard and the national army
proceeding satisfactorily.
Frensdorf Serves Without Pay.
Jackson Edward Frensdorf, chair

PROFITS OF COAL
DEALERS LIMITED
GOVERNMENT ORDERS PRICES
BASED ON 1915 COST
PLUS PROFIT.
ORDER IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1
Committees Appointed By Fuel Admin
istrator Will See That Order of
Government Is Enforced.
Washington Government control
over the coal industry has been made
complete by an order of Fuel Adminis
trator Garfield limiting the profits of
retail coal and coke dealers through
out the country to a basis which Is ex
acted to bring about an immediate re
duction in prices to the consumer.
The order, effective October 1, di
rected that the retailers shall fix their
prices so to limit their gross margins
over cost to the average of the gross
profits during the year 1915, plus a
maximum of 30 per cent of the 1913
margin, provided that in no case shall
the average margin of the month of
July, this year, be exceeded.
Local committees appointed by the
federal fuel administrators in each
state will see to it that the dealers
"comply with the order. Dealers them
selves will be called upon to return
sworn costs sheets showing the facts
upon which they have based their
prices.
Dr. Garfield selected 1915, as a nor
mal year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 191C. The
additional 30 per cent is allowed to
cover the increase in the retailers cost
of doing business, which has increased
substantially during the past two
years. Prices already fixed by the gov
ernment for coal at the mouth of the
mine are near those charged in 1915,
and with the jobbers' charge now
limited to 25 cents a ton and tho cost
of transportation not materially In
creased, the consumer, ln every com
munity, should be abla to get coal of
any description at approximately the
price he paid in 1915.
COAL SHORTAGE IN STATE ACUTE
According to Survey, 50,000 Detroit
Homes Have No Fuel Supply.
Lansing That there is an alarming
shortage of coal in Michigan especial
ly in the large cities was brought out
emphatically by a survey Just complet
ed in Detroit, under direction of tho
Detroit Board of Commerce.
Fifty thousand Detroit homes are
without coal, and without positive as
surance of being ab'.e to secure a win
ter's supply of fuel, a condition unpre
cedented at this time of the year.
The results of the survey have not
been made public in their entirety, but
enough of the chief features of the
report are known to reveal a situation
startling in its indications of hardship
for the public.
Coal dealers, without a known ex
ception, are refusing to take advance
orders from their customers.
Dealers, unable to obtain any in
formation in regard to when the fuel
administration will permit shipments
here, are running no risks of making
promises of delivery that they way be
unable to fill.
Opinion among Board of Commerce
members and Detroit coal men, how
ever, seems to be that Detroit is being
discriminated against, and that an ear
ly and emphatic protest to Washing
ton is the only course open, if a short
age of fuel in mid-winter is to be pre
vented. SMALL BENEFIT FROM STEEL CUT
Public Will Save But Little As There
Is No Steel to Buy.
New York Obscure points ln the
government's recent price-fixing an
nouncement for steel,' iron and coke
have been cleared up by conferences
of manufacturers with the war indus
tries board. An important point set
tled is that existing contracts will not
be abrogated.
The public, nominally, entitled to
buy at the same price as the govern
ment, will have little benefit from this,
as war needs must be met first and
these amount to 7,000,000 tons. Orders
placed tho last few days amounting
to several hundred thousand tons, all
for deliveries in from 30 days to 12
months. The building program alone
falls for 2,400,000 tons of steel bars,
plates and shapes.
All the Entente governments are In
the market for more steel, England
wanting 800.000 tons of shell bars and
forglngs, while France and Italy need
several thousand tons of ship steel.
The United States continues actively
to place large munition and war ma
chinery contracts.
Traverse City Dam Blown Up.
Traverse City What was known as
tho lower dam of the Boardman River
Electric Light & Power Co., which
concern supplies Traverhe City with
light and power, was blown up entailing
a loss of $50,000 on the spillway, pos
sibly as much on the dam Itself and
throwing several Traverse City indus
tries out of power. Unmistakable evi
dence shows that the dam and spill
way were dynamited as bits of the
structure were found hundreds of feet
from the dam.
REDUCES WORK OF KIDNEYS
Diet Recommended by Medical Men
for Those Who Suffer From
Dreaded Nephritis.
In nephritis, .or Inflammation of the
kidneys, diet is a very important part
of tho treatment. The diet Is planned
to reduce the tux on the kidney to the
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid
foods are limited, no Halt is added to
food, certain vegetables which contain
much suit are uvoided and meat Is cut
out entirely.
. Ir. Arthur F. Chace, professor of
medicine, und Dr. Anton It. ILose, as
sociate ln pathological chemistry in
the New York Post-Gruduate Medical
School and Hospital, give ln the Jour
nal of the American Medical associ
ation a study of diet for nephritic suf
ferers. "Tho general plan of the dietary is
as follows: A warm cooked cereal,
generally farina served with milk, is
given for breakfast. This Is sometimes
replaced by oatmeal or a baked bn
nana, nnd toast and a citrus fruit are
occasionally added.
"The noon meal consists of a plain
soup made from milk, flour and butter,
given mainly to supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it is also utilized as
a medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach;
a main dish consisting of baked po
tato, now and then replaced by baked
hnlf-rlpe banana and steamed rice; a
liberal portion of green vegetable nnd
n lettuce salad with oil dressing, fla
vored with lemon or vinegar.
"The evening meal is composed of
such articles as ripe bananas, rice pud
din;, cornstarch blanc mango, steamed
rice with baked bananas and stewed
fruit. Milk and cocoa ln limited quan
tities are served as beveruge."
From this general outline it is not
dltllcult to construct twenty different
menus that will contain great variety.
Money Enough to Be Happy.
The American Magazine asked this
question a few months ago. One of the
best answers is:
"How much money do I need to be
happy? That's easy. I can answer
that without even taking time to stare
Into the fire or bnt nn eyelash $2,0S0
a year. That is enough to live com
fortably, save some nnd do our share
in the social and religious life of which
we are a part. Friends, friends nre
the gift of God nnd can neither be
bought nor sold, so money cannot en
ter Into this phase of the question, for,
whether I were a tlncup beggar, a
bloated bondholder or just n fair to
middling everyday person, true friends
nre still friends. Now, why the spe
cific amount. $2.0S0 a year? Why not
$2,000 or $2..r00? For the simple rea
son that $2,080 is the exact amount
that my Peter makes, and because with
love enough the amount of money to
make one happy Is Just what one's
got."
Artificial Legs for Horses.
A new Invention of artificial legs for
horses and dogs was offered to the
Philadelphia branch of the Bed Star
Animal relief by n Frem-h-Amerlcnn
veterinarian who refuses to disclose
his name.
This man. who has taken 21 trips to
Europe since the war starred with
horses for France, claims that the
horse or mule may be usrd for light
farm work if those legs are used.
The leg, or crutch, which has been
used successfully in this country, Is
made of steel, with a special quadrant

eral Ilexings of the ankle and fet
lock. Thrift.
"Are you going to save your straw
hat till next summer?"
"I thought about it; but feed is so
expensive I thought it more economi

Exemption Chatter.
"I think Smith has a horrible nerve
to claim exemption. Now, it was dif

"I feel awfully sorry for Jones. I
