Following afternoon manoeuvres. the friendly bugies call the men in to a supper of which this ls typical: beef broth with rice. cold ham.

' urnip salad, raisin tea biscuits. cheese, apple roll with butterscotch sauce, tea-or iced cocoa.

Behind all this artistry is the scientific watcfulness of the train- ed dietitian who sees that meals are properly balanced in proteins. minerals, vitamins and other ele- ments vital to health.

The army lads are cheefully blind to all these scientific angles. They simply know that these meals stick to their ribs. The scales tell the story. Despite the hard physical training recruits often gain more than 10 pounds in their first few weeks with thearmed forces.

Lieut. Ool.

The men are invited to eat all they need, but there are stern in- junctions against the wastage that follows the rejection of unpalatable cooking,
