Corn Flakes
London. The Imost serious problem
with which a general in the field can
be faced is that, of keeping up the
necessary food Supply for the troops
under his command. An army, indeed
marches on its stomach. At a pinch
it can make shift to do without tents
or transport, while, as is well known,
successful operations have at times
been carried out in a hostile area
when not a single cartridge has been
expended .for weeks on. end. Yet,
though, bullets may be dispensed with,
this is certainly not the case with re
gard to bread or its equivalent. Ths
at any rate, has always been the . opin
ion of the great military leader Na
poleon, for example, being reported
on one occasion to have bad a soldier
shot for throwing away a bag of bis
cuits, in order to make room for some
ammunition. .
The scale on which the commissa
riat arrangments for a protracted
campaign are conducted, is an exceed
ingly large one. A fact ' that contrib
utes materially to this Is that not
only have rations and fodder to be
issued dally to every man and horse
on duty, but also that a considerable
reserve supply has to be maintained
at the base of operations. In the re
cent "Boer war, for example, the
amount of food thus stored was, as far
as possible, that equaling a four
months' consumption. When it is re
membered that the number of troops
drawing upon it was well over two
hundred thousand at a time during
the greater portion of the war, It will
readily be seen that such a supply
necessarily represented a very big
stock indeed. To go Into actual fig
ures, it may be of interest to learn
that at the head of the various items
composing a four months supply for
such a body is 24,000,000 pounds of
biscuit This enormous total Is close
ly approached by the "bully beef" one,
as for every pound of the former com
modity there is at least three-quarter
pounds of the latter. To render It
more palatable than it would be in
Itself, tne -commissariat department
Is required to keep In store 1,600,000
pounds of compressed Vegetables and
800,000 pounds of salt As appropriate
accompaniments to' the beef and bis
cuit, coffee and tea to the extent of
800,000 pounds, and 400,000 pounds re
spectively are also included in the re
serve supply. f:
In addition to such absolute neces
sities as biscuit, beef,r and vegetables,
the four months' food supply for an
average corps in the field Includes
many items that may almost be de
scribed as luxuries. For example, that
for the British troops in South Africa
contained 2,900,000 tins of jam (each
holding one pound), and 720,000 tins
of condensed milk. Jam, it is worth
noting, was .first Introduced as an ar-
tfele of diet for soldiers In active serv
ice in the Egyptian campaign of 1884.
As it was found to have excellent re
sults (chiefly on account of its anti
scorbutic properties) ' and also to be
extremely appreciated by the men, It
has remained a ."field ration" ever
since. It Is generally eaten with bis
cuit, as bread is but rarely obtainable
In the actual theater of war. v V V
"Drinkables" occupy almost as large
a place as do "eatables" in the reserve
food supply of an army corps when
on active service: After the 800,000
pounds of r coffee and 400,000 ; pounds
of tea, already referred to.Hhe princi
pal totals maintained are 40,000 gal
lons of rum, .64,000 bottle's of port,
-and1 24,0.00 bottles of whisky. There
was also .ft very large quantity of
lime-juice kept in reserve for the
benefit of the sick and wounded.
Among the "miscellaneous stores"
which the commander of an army
corps looks to his commissariat de
partment to furnish when called upon
are 160 tons of alum (for purifying
doubtful water), 40 tons of chloride. of
lime,. 12,000 pounds of carbolic acid
powder, 20,000 gallons of oil, and
some 80,000 pounds of candles. The
food supply for the horses and mules
is also on a generous scale, thou
sands of tons of hay, bats, and bran
being always kept at the base in read
iness for instant dispatch to the
front "
ANIMALS CAUGHT BY FIRE
Forest Flames on Glenn Ranch in
California Overtook Thousands of
Them In Flight
Los , Angeles, Cal. Thousands of
dead rabbits, with here and there a
deer caught by the whirl of flame, and
trees full of roasted apples, on the
Glenn ranch, were among the toll of
the big forest fire that swept from
Cajon to Lytel Creek, according to re
ports brought here by Supervisor R.
H. Charlton, after almost a week spent
In the big "woods fighting the fife.
The woods are as dry as tinder, and
the flames made rapid headway in
spite of the efforts of nearly two hun
dred experienced firefighters, who
were almost worn out by their efforts.
The blaze was confined for the most
part to leaves, needles and small
brush. When It was confined to a cer
tain area by the men, the inside of the
fire line was filled with wild game, try
ing to get away. The sweep of the fire
was so quick that in hundreds of in
stances they could not get out Of the
zone of danger.
The rabbits ran in droves to the
center away from the fringe ' of the
flames, only to be burned up when the
fire ate its way into their hiding
places. Several deer, one of them a
big six-prong buck, ran right into the
hottest . blaze. ,

New York. Almost at the last min
ute the body of Dr. James Phillips,
soldier . and physician, nephew of an
erstwhile lord mayor of London, and
once wealthy, was rescued from a pau
per's grave. He died in the city hos
pital at Blackwell's Island.
For days the body had been in the
morgue without inquiry by . any one.
and arrangements had been made for
Its burial by'a charitable society. The
word that saved the body from the
potter's field was sent by a daughter,
who gave instructions to have it for
warded to Bridgeport, Conn. She had
not heard from him before in 33 years.
Doctor Phillips was born in London,
and was a nephew of SIFordeil Phil
lips, once lord mayor of his native
city, and a cousin of Sir Edward Law-
son. When he was in .his twenties
the Crimean war began, and he was
among those who- went to the front as
a surgeon. When the Civil war start
ed, after his arrival here, he placed
his experience at the service of this
country, and once met President Lin
coln. ; -
After the war ended Doctor Phillips
was stationed for a time with naval
vessels at Norfolk, Va., and later he
was transferred to Washington, D. C.
In Washington he was married. His
wife was the daughter of General Wal-
brldge, but the marriage was followed
by a divorce. Subsequently Mrs. iPhll-
llps remarried. This time her husband
was George B. Corkhlll, the district
attorney who obtained the convic
tion of Guiteau, the assassin of Presi

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS
Don't stand that Itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get a Jar of reslnol oint
ment (50c) and a cake of reslnol soap
(25c). Bathe the eczema patches with
reslnol soap and hot water, dry and
apply a little reslnol ointment
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing, itching and burning stop in
stantly, you no longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
turing eruptions disappear completely
and for good. Adv.
