That the appetites of the sixty men In the expedition may be appeased immense quantities of food win be taken aboard the vessels maJdng the voyage. Sidney Greason, has been named eMef steward and George Tennant, chief cook. Both have had long experience in providing meals for men In varied climates and conditions. Veteran Gook Tennant Is a veteran of Byrd’s successfiil' expedition, tn the North Pole. In addition to that he has been cook on expeditions in the wilds of Africa, the Sahara Desert, South America, the Mojave Desert in California and on the "Heli” ship that runs from San Francisco and the salmon canneries nf Alaska. This has given him ample opportunity to learn the wants and needs of men under trying experiences and under almost all conditions. There will be 1,200 items of food in the larder of the expedition which will coat about $150,000. The assembling and transport of this immense amount of food is a difficult problem in itself owing to the different climates that will be encountered from the tropical heat of the equator to the sub-zero weather of the Pole. Cans containing food must be shellacked as a protection against unfavorable weather conditions. Dehydrated vegetables will be taken, as a means of conserving space aboard the vessels. Variety also will be the spice of life in. reality on the trip. List of Supplies The supplies will include: Thirty tons of meat, chicken, turkeys and beef: three tons of smoked hams; ■two tons of bacon; sixty tons of groceries, 2,000 pounds of cocoa; 3,000 pounds of powered milk; 100 cases of sweetened condensed milk; a ton at angar, a ton of salt, two tons of coffee and two tons of flour. Canned fruits also will make up a large part of the cargo as well as fresh vegetables. There also will be about 1.000 pounds of flavored gelatin to be used in providing deserts and salads. ‘—*■ o- ‘— SURVIVOR TELLS OF HIS FOUR BIG ‘SUB' ACCIDENTS Milwaukee. — (U.P) —After having been in four submarine disasters during his five years with the navy, C. H. Redding, 28, Milwaukee, is still very much alive. Throughout his navy service Redding was assigned to submarine duty as an' eiectician. Redding was on the S-48 when it went down with an open hatch off Bridgeport, Conn., with 43 men on board, all of whom were rescued after fighting water and gas fumes for 12 hours. The thing that stands out in Redding’s mind is the droll attempt of a machinist’s mate to sweep back the ocean with a broom. “The sub went down for a deep dive but the hatch had been left open," he said. “Water poured in. This matchinist mate was sweeping up water with a broom and was unaware of what had happened, as we all were for several minutes. He kept sweeping and sweeping but the water got too much for him. Finally he went into, the control room and told the officers he needed a mop. We soon learned what had happened then.” When the R-fr sank in San Pedro (Calif.) harbor in 1922 after some one inadvertently had opened a torpedo door. Redding was just coming on board for the night. As he stepped on the sub it began to sink and he stepped off into the ocean and swam to a tender lying alongside. Six men who were asleep were drowned but the others were rescued. Redding had his head and face I burned when a battery blew up on I the &-37 in 1923. This accident also happened in San Pedro- Harbor. Six men were killed by the blast. He also was on the L-5 which dove with an open hatch off the coast of California during the winter maneuvers in 1920. The crew of 22 men i were rescued.

HEALTH SERVICE ( ISSUES TYPHOID FEVER WARNING By Kennth Clark INS Staff Conrespondent Washington. — A warning to the country to take precautions against typhoid fever comes from tho United States public health service. It was not an alarmist statement, but advised that while typhoid fever may occur at any time during the year. It is most prevalent in the United States during the late summer and in the autumn months. Typhoid fever germs are taken into the body through the mouth with the food or drink, or by means of direct infection with flies. "This history of the remarkable control of typhoid fever which has taken place in the United States within the past 20 years is one of the striking examples of the value of public health work,” it was said. "Typhoid fever which only a few years ago took a toll of more than 50,000 lives annually is now responsible for the death o[ something less than 10,000 each year. Develop Preventives “Preventive medicine has developed to such an extent that we are sometimes prone to have a false sense of security and to neglect important fundamentals of sanitatoln. Eternal vigilance is the price of sanitation.” Three cardinal rules for prevention of the disease were outlined: 1. —Swat the flies. 2. —Boil all milk or water which is of doubtful purity. 3. —Vaccinate or inoculate against the disease. “Among the foods other than milk that are mostly likely to be exposed to infection and liable to convey typhoid fever are those eaten raw or uncooked," it was stated. "Well-cooked food or properly pasteurized or boiled milk or milk products are safe from the danger of conveying typhoid or other milk-borne or water-borne diseases. “The necessity of inoculation against the fever should be emphasized at this period of the year. It is especially important that the inoculation be done before the vacation period begins. Urge Vaccination “It is an established fact that a person may be rendered comparatively safe from typhoid fever by inoculation. The duration of this immunity is not exactly known, but it is certainly safest' to be vaccinated at least once in three years. The slight inconvenience attending the inoculation is a small price to pay for protection against so prolonged and so dangerous an illness as typhoid fever. “There is no cause for alarm in regard to the reactions, either local or general, as they are of no importance except for the discomfort. Severe reactions are met with in less than one per cent of those injected. An advantageous time for the injections is about four p. m., so that if a reaction occurs it will be while the patient is in bed. For those employed in business, successive Saturdays are convenient.” — o Heidelberg Spring Has Radio Quality In Healing Baths Heidelberg. — (INS) — Heidelberg ha: added another to its already great number of attractions. This is a medicinal bathhouse for the employment of a spring whose water is declared by balneologists to be the strongest radioactive water yet known. The water, which was struck ten years ago at a depth of about 3,000 feet, has heretofore been employed only in the physical-therapeutic institute of the Heidelberg University’s medical clinic, but the necessity of transporting it in containers from the spring which lies on the bank of the Neckar, involved the possibility of the loss of some of the healing qualities. To obviate this a bathhouse with 40 cells has been built at the’spring. The saline-radioactive water, which leavt s the earth at a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit, is so strong that the bather is permitted to remain in it only ten minutes, and he must then lie down for a time before leaving the cell. The water is also employed for drinking cures. While its full working has not yet been determined, its favorable effect on the cellular tissues has already been demonstrated in rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, certain female complaints and scrofulous and rachitic afflictions. 0 ' First Girl In 300 Years Toledo, O. —(U.Rb-Little Norma Jean Merritt, who was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Merritt, of Toledo, is a remarkable member of the Merritt family—because she is the first of her sex in the family for 300 years. Not a girl has been born into the family since the original Merritts tilled the soil of their farm on the outskirts of Paris. 0 — Don’t Need "Three Squares” Authentic records show spiders to Have existed 17 months without food.
