THE ARMY CANTEEN.

A Welcome Substitute For the Old Time Sutler.

GOOD THINGS NOW SOLD AT COST.

Ifow Vnclo Sam Supplies Approved Luz-nrii-s to ni» Soldiers—Two Cent Beer Msilirs Trouble, and the Temperanoe

Question Itecnmes a Timely Subject.

The old time sutler has been superseded by the modern canteen. All efforts to introduce tho scandalous system of robbing soldiers which prevailed during the civil -war have been turned down by the government. Under the new deal each camp has: a cantoen, as the place of supply is called, which i.s under the supervision of the commanding officer and is often run under the immediate charge of a committee of officers appointed by him* Uncle Sam himself owns all the canteens, and he sells

A KKGIMENTAL CANTEEN. I

everything that a soldier needs to have and some things which the temperance people say he does not need. No profit is nladc by the canteen. The commissary- department buys all the goods in the cheapest market in the country and sells to the soldiers at.cost Uncle Sam carries oil really av losing game/as a sto»ekeoper, for he is "out" every year just what it cost him to transport tjio goads from the 'cheapest market*tovthe different caqteens. He pockets this loss, however, with his accustomed good iTat.ure. charging it up to the account/of wh .t i-s known as equalization xf pay. Bht-s equalization is an-interesting matter. ft gruws out of the variations in prices between different parts of the country.

tFor

example, an allowance is

made to an officer of a certain amoiAit a month for fuel, but in somo parts of the country a cord of wood would cost $7, while in others it might be had for $3.

To adjust this Uncle Sam has fixed up what is known as an equalization. He makes a unit of one cord at $3 all over the country, which is declared to be the equal of 1,700 pounds of anthracite coal or 2.000 pounds of soft coal. Thus each officer can take his fuel allowance in coal or wood or its equal in money in any part of the country, and if he desires in any month to exceed his allowance for fuel he can buy from the government at cost price.

Thus by means of tho canteen the soldier i.s the host buyer in the country, for he buys through the government in enormous quantities and in absolutely tho cheapest market. A glass of beer in tho canteen costs only 2 cents. And here is where tho temperance folks enter their protest. This governmental policy of selling a glass of beer at such a price not only sets the prohibitionists by the ears, but it hits the high license men a hard blow.

A list of articles has been approved by tho secretary of war, which will be kept for sale to officers and men by the subsistence department. These articles comprise many so called delicacies, which are calculated to bo especially ac ceptablo for the use of soldiers in tho field. In the list are included canned apples, peaches and pears, canned meats not included in the regular field rations, cboese, chocolate, canned green corn, canned milk, oatmeal, soups of various kinds, sugars, jams, jellies, sirups, canned peas and cranberry sauce. The commissary with each corps and division of the army will also be able to supply smoking tobacco and chewing

r*cv»twn\

A TYPICALSUTLER'S TENT.

tobacco, soap, buttons, needles, pins, thread, stationery, brushes, combs, handkerchiefs and many similar artides. The quartermaster geHeral in a letter to the secretary of war says that the experience had by the subsistence department in the handling of these articles has been acquired during a long period of peace, but that the only trial which the army has been able to give the "post canteen" system was during tfee Sioux disturbances in 1801.

While the canteen system will doubtleas have its defects, no tears will be abed over the pawing of the sutler. The case is known of a man who offered 9M,000 for the privilege of starting

sutler's store at a certain camp even with tho knowledge that tho camp would not last more than 30 days. This gives an idea of the enormous profits the sutler used to reap. It is estimated that four-fifths of all money taken in by tho sutler was profit. lie often sold liquors and always tobacco and every other luxury or necessity for the soldiers, and it often occurred that at the end of tho month tho private's pay would •..• unequal to tho task of wiping his score off the slate.

Under the label of "Red Jacket Bitters" the sutler dispensed a drink that never failed to exhilarate. Whisky 111 small bottles was kept in stock for the officers, and the men in the ranks could not obtain any of it without an order from an officer. When communication with the north was open and freo to the transportation of other than supplies for the army, the sutler was enabled to procure a supply of boer. For 10 cents tho soldier could get a small tincupful.

On the auspicious day when the paymaster came around on his periodical trips with big bundles of greenbacks to pay off his soldiers the Butler was on hand with his accounts. The sutler was a preferred creditor, and as such the paymaster gave him the first dip into the soldier's money. In many cases the soldiers were in debt to tho sutler for the full amount of their pay, and therefore did not get anything. This finally .became such a common occurrence that the government took aotion in the matter, fixing the amount above which the sutler could not give credit.

For everything the sutler sold he charged exorbitant prices. His immense gains were offset in a number of ways, however. Sometimes the soldiers on a lark or t? get even for his extortionate charges raided thp sutler's^ tent and carried off what they "wanted. On the march the sutler's wagon was allowed to travel with the army wagon train. At times these trains vrene left in the rear when the troops were making Jorcefl marches or ^vere on detached d*ty, and then the sutler did not see his regiment for months at a time.

The only trouble thus far encounteSf1! in tho new canteen system is on th£ liquor question., The post exchanges^are not subject to the internal revenue tax nor to tlhe payment for state licenses, fhis latter issue was fought out trtfo years ago at Fort Robinson, Neb., whe^p the local offleials had the exchange officials arrested "for^net, paying tj^e state tax. In this case, as in t-he 'case of most old established army posts, tho land which the garrison occupied was ceded by the,state to tho general government without reserving to the state the power of taxing tho exchange or making, unlawful the sale of liquors there without a state license. The United States dis-

W RAIDING A SUTLER. trict court, therefore, decided that the state did not have concurrent jurisdiction with the United States on lands which had been ceded unconditionally by the state to the general government.

Colonel Clous, now judge advocate of the army, department of the east, who was one of tho representatives of the war department in the Fort Robinson case, argued the matter on tho sole question of how complete the act of cession was and did not touch another point, which ho believes would have been held to be good law, that the post exchange is an instrumentality of the general Eoveranient ana tnereroro is not

This, of course- docnot bar oiltcers from running a post change tor themselves in a prohibition state. There are four such states— Maine, Vermont. New Hampshire ami Kansas. Thero is no army post 111 New Hampshire. In Maino thero is Fort Pre ble in Vermont, Fort Ethan Allen 111 Kansas, Fort Riley and Fort Leaven worth. Colonel Clous says ho understands that no liquor is sold to eulisted men at either of tho last two posts

Besides those prohibition states, there are several southern states in which the principlo of local option by counties prevails, and if any of tho present volunteer camps are established in these local option counties the federal law quoted evidently applies to them.

Even in the regular army canteens nothing in tho way of intoxicating liquors, except beer and light wines, is sold, and this, no doubt, would bo the rule in canteens in volunteer camps. In tho regular army the proceeds of the canteen, which at some poets are considerable, are devoted entirely to buying additional provender for the soldiers, delicacies which the unyielding army ration does not supply. Thus whatever profit there is goes entirely to the soldier® from whom the profit has come. Craus SYLVESTER.

Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. At the age of two months, my babybegan to have sores break out 011 his right cheek. We used a!! tho external applications that we could think or hear of, to 110 nvnil. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physician and trjod his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous looking sore appeared 011 baby's arm. It grew wo'-se and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood's SarsapariUa. I also took Hood's Sareaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years old, but he has never had any sign of those Bcrofulous sores since he was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very grateful.
