LIKED IT FINE.

MISS SUSAN G. PARISH.

Philippines any man who kicked about
the food was given a chance to show
how he could improve it by being put
in charge of the mess.
The officer had the misfortune of be

tour and couldn’t seem to raise a com-

double handful of salt in the soup
which the cook was preparing. When
the soup was served offi'cer after olfl-

howled, “Gosh almighty, that soup is
as salty as brine—but by Heck that’s
the way I like it.”
HE WAS C. O. D.
A few days ago. Captain Yung, ward
surgeon of C-6, was officer of the day
No. 2. While absent from the ward,
a lieutenant came to see the captain
and not finding him inquired of the
nurse where he was. The nurse re
plied, “Captain Yung is not here. He
is C. O. D. today.
