Feeding the Army
T HE President has called out 125,000 volunteers, and as soon as these men enlist, they must be fed, clothed and cared for by the United States. It is a big task to feed so many men. To cook their rations in one utensil, for one day, would require a frying pan nearly a mile wide, while to make the coffee for this number, would require a pot as big as the average three- story house. Six and one-half tons of sugar and two thousand cans of condensed milk would be needed every day for an army of 100,000 men, who would also con- sume seventy-five thousand pounds of bacon or corned beef, fifteen thousand pounds of beans, two thousand gallons of molasses, five hundred gallons of vinegar, four pounds of salt, and two hundred and fifty pounds of black pepper.
The minimum cost for the simplest form of rations for this army would be $22,000 a day. As long as the troops are in the United States, or in easy communica- tion with the United States, they will be issued some of what, from an army point of view, are considered as luxuries, including fresh meat and canned goods, at a slightly increased expense. Where the troops are liable to be completely cut off from the base of supplies, they will be furnished with more condensed foods.
The introduction of condensed and canned foods has brought about the greatest improvement in the condition of the soldier in active service, and soldiers owe a debt of gratitude to a Texas State Surveyor, who, in 1852, invented a meat biscuit, the first condensed food ever made in the United States. This man was Gail Borden, who had but then recently laid out the city of Galveston, and while surveying in the vast and almost unpopulated territory of Texas, he learned the necessity of possessing some portable, condensed form of food. On leaving Texas, the inventor settled in New York State, and turning his attention to milk, he perfected a process of condensing it, which is now in use throughout the world. Gail Borden was born at Norwich, New York, November 6, 1801, and died at Harveys Creek, Texas, January II, 1874.
The first great impetus given to the use of his condensed milk, to which he gave the name of "Eagle Brand," was furnished by the demand for supplies for the armies of the United States, during the Civil War, and through the occasional capture of the United States supply trains, the "Eagle Brand" condensed milk became widely known to the soldiers on both sides. Now no army supply train is considered complete without its quota of "Eagle Brand" condensed milk and Eagle Brand Condensed Coffee, and since the health and comfort of the soldiers are of prime importance in war. Gail Borden has rendered a greater service by his invention of condensed food and condensed milk than have many of the generals whose names are prominent in military history.
We print herewith a portrait of Gail Borden, whose rugged features indicate the originality, energy and tenacity which were characteristic of the man and which enabled him to surmount innumerable mechanical difficulties in perfecting the invention which has proven such a boon to soldiers, sailors, miners, travelers and humanity in general, not torgetting the many thousands of babies which have been raised to vigorous health on the "Eagle Brand" Condensed Milk.

A Marvelous Find !
SPRINGS OF GREAT MEDICINAL PRO- PERTIES HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED AND WILL GIVE TO MOUNT BEACON A PRESTIGE NEVER BEFORE ATTAINED.
Water for drinking purposes is sup- plied from these perpetual springs dis- covered on the side of the mountain : this water apparently comes from some great storage reservoir situated deep in the heart of the mountain, and is cool, spark- ling and pure. Analysts have declared it the superior to many and the equal to any of the waters from well-known springs now on the market and so popu- lar with the public.
The Top of the Mountain is laid out as a park with paths and walks leading to the different points, a large Casino and summer pavilions, and seats in nooks at resting places. However, the arrangement of nature is left undis- turbed as much as possible.
This is an ideal spot for a summer cottage or for camping parties. Desirable sites for cottages or camping may be obtained on reasonable terms by application to the man- ager. There are also desirable lots for sum- mer cottages for sale at the base of the mountain near the Incline station.
Persons afflicted with asthma, hay fever, or bronchial troubles find reliet while on the mountains.
This is just the place for picnic par- ties. A large rustic pavilion has been provided, with seats and tables, especi- ally for such parties.
Lodges, Societies, etc., are invited to come here for a field day.
Special rates furnished excursion par- ties. See page 99.
MOUNT BEACON MONUMENT
Erected by the Daughters of the Revolution
On the eastern crest stands a monument crected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, in commemoration of the burning of beacon fires dur- ing the occupation of New York by the British, t' notify Washington and his officers of the movement of the enemy. The road has been in successful oper- ation since May 30, 1902, carrying thousands of people to the heights of this interesting and grand old mountain.

MOUNT BEACON THE NEW MOUNTAIN RESORT FISHKILL . ON - THE - HUDSON, NEW YORK
God Planted them; Behold how firm they stand! Rock-ribbed, trec-clothed and wrapped in purple haze Unmoved through an infinitude of days .- M. A. KNIVETON.
INCLINE RAILWAY
This historic mnoun- tain, which has lately been fitted up as a stimmer resort, is sit- uated on the east bank of the Hudson River, fifty-nine iniles from New York City, and directly opposite New- burgh. The beautiful villages of Fishkill Landing and Mattea- wan nestle at its base. An extended view is also obtained of thirty miles of the Hudson River, from the High- lands on the south, with the broad ex- panse of Newburgh Bay, the City of New- burgh. Orange Lake and the Shawangunk Mountains in the west, while to the north can be seen the Pough- keepsie Bridge with the Catskill and Adi- rondack Mountains in the distance.
The summit of Mount Beacon is reached by the Mount Beacon Incline Rail- way, steepest incline
in the world. The road is owned and operated by the Mount-Beacon-on-the-Hudson Association, and was opened to the public May 30, 1902, carrying more than 60,000 people the first season.
The Ride up the Mountain for the first time is a novel experience. As the car moves rapidly and steadily up the incline, the lower landscape seems to be falling away and unrolling and spread- ing out to the view in one beautiful picture framed in the horizon.
The View from the Summit is beautiful and varied. Tourists who have traveled in this and other countries are delighted with the scenery and prospect from Mount Beacon. While in sublimity and grandeur not equal to that of the great mountain ranges of the West, yet as an expansive, tran- quil picture of mountain, valley and river partly subdued by man, it is unexcelled.
The Casino has spacious balconies on all sides, a roof observatory supplied with powerful teles- copes and searchlight. The cool and spacious hall is open for dancing parties each afternoon and evening ( Sundays excepted), good music being furnished for that purpose. It has a well-equipped dining-room and also a quick lunch counter, where patrons are served with meals and lunches from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. No bar is maintained or allowed upon the premises, but persons desiring wines or other drinks served with meals in the dining-room are accommodated. Mr. Harry George, who has had large experience in catering to the public, will have charge of the Casino.
HOW TO GET THERE .- The New York Central & Hudson R. R. R., the Newburgh, Dutchess & Connecticut Railroad, and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, make connections at Matteawan and Fishkill Landing. The West Shore Railroad, the Erie Railroad, the Ontario and Western Railroad, and the Poughkeepsie & Eastern Railroad, make connections at Newburgh. New- burgh is connected with Fishkill by Ferry; and the Trolley line connects the Incline with the Ferry and all railroad lines and steamers at Long Wharf, Fishkill Landing.

N TIGHT closes the tired eyes and brings sleep to restless ones. The morning brings re- newed strength and vigor for the work of another day. But how of those to whom the restless days are followed by restless nights and brcken sleep brings no refreshing awakening? Scott's Emulsion does for sick people what night does for well people. It gives refreshment and strength because it supplies the body with just the food it needs, the food to make rich blood, healthy nerves and sound digestion.
