SOL. SURPRISED.
THE CADUCEUS.
THEY FRY OUR EGGS
Upon his return from a fifteen-day
furlough Sgt. Laske was greatly sur
prised to note the improvements that
had taken place in his mess hall in
his absence.
A new electric washing machine has
been installed which steams and
cleanses the dishes very effectively
and is a great source of enjoyment to
the tired K. P.s. Also they have a
fine large ice-chest and butcher room,
that is quite an asset considering the
conditions that they were compelled
to work under previous to the erec
tion of this addition to the kitchen. ■
Also there is a new eiectnc potatoe
peeler .that is. not to be laughed at and
an electric grinding machine that will
grind everything or as Cook Bingham
aptly put it, the machine will “even
grind good from bad.”

FINE TRIP.

the Blue Ridge mountains and also
Bulah Springs, N. C. The trip was

COOKS OF THE DETACHMENT MESS.
Talk about singing your way into any one’s heart. That is slim stufi:
in comparison to the noble work that these brave boys have been doing, for
they have literally COOKED their way into the hearts of every man of the
enlisted force at the base hospital.
These are the boys who have baked, and browned and sizzled in the
unbearable heat of riie kitchen over the reddened stoves that we might
have the high grade, properly cooked, remarkably seasoned food that we
are favored with at the present time;
Strange though, isn’t it, that hardly a man of the notable crew ever
saw a stove before he joined the army? Among the cooks we have former
stenographers, traveling salesmen, mechanics, lumbrmen, an unusually good
bartender (so they tell us), a couple of good clerks, an ex-sailor and a
former cigar manufacturer, the man who made Laske’s Clippings famous
all over New England, our esteemed friend and mess sergeant Solomon J.
Laske.
The names of this most worthy aggregation, reading the top row from
left to right are; Wright, VanTassell, Sergeant Laske, Lennix Scherbarth
aand Pinkham.
The second row from left to right: Tannreuther, Barnes, Butler,
Western and Bingham.
Bottom row: Westgate and Bauers.
