The windows, six in number, and opening on the porch, are constructed so that either windows or screens mny be readily opened or closed. A counter inside at the window sill level facili- latex the handling of business. The quartcrmaster is in the north half of the building.

In the case of candy, he is permitted to spend only 10e a day. This applies to everyone in camp and insure: against the loss of money.
