IN NORTHERN CAMP Harvey McKean Finds Camp Life Enjoyable. HAD SCENIC TRIP i Enroute There—Says He Feels Better Than He Has for Years. Harvey McKean, only son of John McKean, Jr„ writes to his aunt, Mrs. Etta Heffner: Vancouver, Wash. April 17, 1918, Dear Aunt Etta Heffner: | Well, I will tell you about my trip and the camp. I left Decatur, Thurs-| (day aeon on the thirty-first of .Jin-, | uary. Was by myself. It was pretty, hard to leave but felt that my country needed me. I got in St. Louis, Mo..' on Friday morning at 4 o'clock, a six-, teen hours' ride. Left there at 9a. m. l and got in Kansas City, Friday evening at 6 o’clock. Stayed at the Mercer Hotel all night. I-est Kansas City Saturday morning at 9. Got in Denver. Col., Sunday morning at 9. Left Denver at 2 p ra. Sunday and got in' Portland, Oregon Tuesday at 12 noon. 1 Left Portland ai 2 p. m. and arrived lat Vancouver, Wash., at 3 p. in. the | fifth of March. I It was a trip of over 2800 miles and I was tired out. 1 saw some great sights. Came through tunnels one and onc-fcurth miles long. Portland is about 300,000 population. Denver is i, the town for me. 1 saw Pike’s Peak, I it fs a fine sight. The Mississippi river . was frozen over. It was very cold east of the Rockies but it was like spring out here at camp when I got here. When 1 got off the train at Vancouver, I felt like a man without a ’ country. Went to the camp. It is in ' the woods. All the trees are fir and spruce. I can just take the ax and s step outside and get an Xmas tree, i It rains here every day but it will quit for the summer soon. Well, I was examined the next day, ’.and was rejected for a bad heart, but they changed their minds and kept me. I was examined today but feel better than I have for years. 1 be’jlieve this climate will put me back . into normal condition again. I have j had one sick spell and was in the 1 base hospital 25 days. 1 lost about 2o t’ pounds; was x-rayed ami everything .else, but got out well, and weigh 185 pounds today. The shots in the arm -for small pox and typhoid did not atI feet me a bit 1 got out of hospital : March 14th and am going to stay off - the sick list. t The third day I was here I was uut .in 439th squadron.

SLOW Oil SWEETS The Soldier Boys Are Asked to Join in Sugar Conservation. BIG SUPPLY NEEDED For the Canning and Preserving Season —A Necessity. Soidier boys in camps and cantonments are asked to join in the conservation of sugar. Mothers, wives anil sweethearts who have been making and sending great quantities of sweets to their absent soils, husbands and lovers are earnestly requested to I use only molasses or other sweetenling. These are patriotic regulation® | promulgated today by Dr. Harry IL | Barnard, federal food administrator, in his determination to guarantee an | adequate supply of sugar for the cau- . ning and preserving season, the success of which is regarded by him as vital to the cause of the food supply. Manufacturers of candy, soft drinks and other confections, who have eni gaged in this business since Janua’-y ' 1. 1918. in the face of discouragement .from tlio federal food administration. I may as well prepare to get into somc- ’ thing else. Dr. Barnard adds. For ' they will be denied a sugar supply, no ' matter what disposal is being made of I I their output. 11 Bo'tlers and manufacturing confec- ’ tinners who have been in business for 1 a longer period will lie required to buy ■ 'on a schedule, make regular reports ',of > urchases aaid of the supply of t sugar on hand. None will be permittt ed .under any circumstances to consume more than 80 per cent of their | - last year’s requirements. Penalties i for hoarding will lie enforced for every i violation of these regulations discovI ered. Dr. Barnard says. 1 The food administration answers . the argument that the continued use t of soft drinks and sweets “are essential to the very life of the community because prohibition and non-use of t alcohol have made sugar a vital necesI slty.” by pointing to the health standj ards of England and France where the use < f sugar for such non-essentials or j less essentials has l>een reduced 7> J per cent without injury to the people Jand with little complaint except from • > I , those who might have profited by comJ morcial enterprises. • I “The fact of the matter Is that until , 1 al out the middle of next October there ( I will not be enough sugar to go around. I I and conservation must be practices. I - not only by the ordinary household, | consumer (who has been restricted to ( Ja ration of 3 pounds per month) bat by the manufacturer of any cominod-1 [ ity of which sugar is an ingredient, says the Barnard bulletin from Wa.-h-, ington. ' i “It is in our opinion, useless to continue arguing the question with every ! manufacturer as you. as state food administrator, and your deputies will be besieged by applications for exemption and special consideration.. In our opinion you must be adament and rend er your decisions in accordance with the conclusions that have been reached here at Washington," says the Washington bulletin, in conclusion, upon which Dr. Barnard announces his more stringent policy in reference to the continued use of sugar in Indiana. ' A certificate system is being arranged for the use of sugar in ma ty 1 communities of the state, and in oth- ; er states, with the approval of the, food administration. The primary pur- ( • pose in this is to guarantee the home i canner and preserver enough sugar I to meet the season's needs. Retail • dealers will be provided with the cor-' . tificates, which consumers will be required to sign in order to obtain sup- . 1 lies, guaranteeing the purpose ami , qua.tnity on hand to be in conformity, with the food administration’s program. | Commercial canners will be permit- , ted under regulations, to accumulate p surplus for 1918 operations. l Of mothers weeping for their sons.
