DRITISII ARMY WASTE CAUSES WAR SCANDAL Food is Thrown Away and Khaki Uniforms Used to Bed Cattle Near Supply Station. LONDON, Sept. 1 The vast amount ' of food and equipment needlessly wasted by the British army is causing much discussion and unfavorable comment here and in many quarters comparison is made with the careful husbandry of the Germans.

Business men who have enlisted in

the new armies write horn their as

tonishment and disgust at the unscientific methods employed:

The supply system works . fine, they say, never letting the men want. for anything. It also, they add, gives the Den from 20 to 100 per cent more material than they need and fails to

make any provision for reclaiming tne

unused articles or utilizing very yalu ible products. ', v A,: A" ..'A Uniforms Thrown Away.

Everywhere at tbt front there are leen rejected uniforms and caps lying

bout the fields or put to base pur

poses in the cottages of the peasants.

Cattle bed on khaki. This material

.8 worth $21.20 a ton.

. Enormous numbers of saddles are thrown away although leather is now almost as valuable as gold. The sit

uation as to food is worse. In some towns the British troops quartered there have a large surplus of fresh meat which they give away at the town hall every day regularly. By army rules, this food must not be saved or sold It must be given away

or wasted. ' i Here Ii the reason for this condi-

- tion. A war department regulation

has forbidden the supplying of less 1 meat without a simultaneous deduc-

tlon of other food. Fewer rations can

be supplied, but not different or small- - er rations. Something has been at-

' tempted to remedy this blunder, but the change is not . general and the

waste of food goes on. Guns Are Not Collected.

In ammunition and arms It is the

6ame story. When a man is killed or

wounded in the trenches his rifle and eauioment are thrown aside his com-

' rades do nothing to utilize them. They

lie in the mud and in a few days are

,- useless to any one

; There are general instructions

about saving things, but It is not the 'specific duty of anyone and conse

quently doesn't get done.

In the German army there is a spec

ial body of salvagers which saved a , lot of money. The French even em- ' ploy a machine which converts into valuable grease and oils ever relic of ' refuse meat.

first few days after the camp is open ed for business.

, Before tne six weeks comes to an end. Colonel Nicholson expects the outdoor exercise to put the men in such shape that they can keep pace

. with the most seasoned, veterans. Select Army Teachers.

The instructors of the volunteers

"are being selected by the war department. They are being chosen from the

regiments of regulars all-over the country and their selection depends

-upon their fitness in handling raw troops. Colonel D. A. Frederick, of the United States army, who worked out most of the preliminary details for the encampment, paid particular attention in safeguarding the health of the campers. Lieut. Col William B. Banister will be the chief sanitary officer. He has already issued orders that every volunteer be vaccinated and that he undergo innoculation against typhoid fever. After the first few days, hard work for sixteen hours a day will be the program. Reveille will be sounded at 5:43 o'clock. Ten minutes will be allowed in which to don flannel shirts, khaki trousers, leggins and shoes, and run to the nearest camp water wagon with the tin basin. Program of Day. Roll call will be at 5:55 o'clock, followed by thirty minutes of "setting up" exercises. The breakfast bugle will sound at 6:30. and the men will have one hour In which to eat and smoke. Then the drilling will start and continue with short rest periods until 11:30. The mess call will sound at 12:00 o'clock, followed by a rest period until 2. when the drilling will begin again. Two hours each evening will be devoted to lectures on military tactics, strategy, camp hygiene and the Intricacies of military movements. Taps will sound at 9 o'clock and all lights must be out at 10. There will be no charming feminine

I To Have Wavy Hair Like Nature's Own I , 4 Here's a brand new recipe, of unquestioned merit, that I advise you to make note of. unless you are one of the few possessors of naturally wavy hair. It's very simple, for all you need do is to apply a little lquid silmerine at night with a clean tooth brush and in the morning you will find this has dried in the sweetest curls and waves imaginable. They will be just like Nature's own, having no resemblance to the effect produced by a hot iron, which is so obyiously artificial. The application is really beneficial to the hair and gives it that lively lustre so much desired. As it is so easy to obtain a few ounces of the liquid silmerine from your, druggist sufficient to keep the hair curly for many weeks there's no reason now for putting up with either that straight, contrary hair or with the curling iron nuiisance.

''Goals of Fire in My Stomach" Describes Pain Says Mrs, Matson

Wife of Richmond ..Machinist

Cannot Say Too Much for Tanlac

Tuesday was Tanlac day at the 6th

and Main Sts. store of Thistlethwaite's, where the Master Medicine is being distributed in Richmond, and many sufferers called to discuss their

ailments with the Tanlac Man, and to purchase their first bottle of the now

famous remedy.

Others called to express their grati

tude and to testify to the remarkable relief they have received froim . its use. One of the most interesting statements was that of Mrs. Matson,

(wife of Mr. Edward Matson a gen

ial and competent machinist at Reed's

Fence Factory), who resides at No.

419 Randolph St., this city. :

In talking to the Tanlac Man, Mrs.

Matson said, "For two years I have suffered both from catarrh of the head and of the stomach. I 'could not

digest my - food and for hours after eating, I felt as though I had swallow, ed red hot coals of fire; what little food I could retain, would sour on my

stomach, causing me extreme dis

tress. I was so nervous and run-down that I could scarcely attend to me-

work, and restful sleep was out of

the question; no medicine seemed to do me any good, and I was about ready to give up.

"In talking to one of my neighbors.

a well-known lady, who has publically testified to the merits of Tanlac. through the columns of the 'Palladium,' I decided to try this highly recommended remedy. I have now taken three bottles and feel that I have long since passed the experimental stage. I want to tell you that your remedy Is fine and it has my unqualified endorsement; my improvement is simply wonderful; my head is now free from catarrhal affections and the nervousness has entirely disappeared. I can sleep soundly and my appetite is good; my food is easily and properly digested; I can eat anything now without fear or distress'; Tanlac has done wonders for me." Tanlac can be obtained in Richmond through any one of the four Thlstlethwaite drug stores the Tanlac Man is in daily attendance at the 6th and Main Sts, store, where he is meeting the public and explaining the remedy. adv. , , . ,
