Everything relating the subsistence and comfort Of

regulations of the Uaited States army:
ration is "a portion fixed allowance oil provisions
drink and forage assigned to each soldier 10 the ar
my for hs daily subsistence and for the subsistence Of
horses. Officers have several raons, according to the
rank or number of attendants Seamen in the navy also
have rations of certain articles" The following is the
soldiers ration as regulated by the War Department:
"The ration is threcourths Of FOUND OF pork or ba
con- or one and fourth pounds Of fresh or salt beef
eighteen Of bread -four, or twelve ounces o
hard bread, or and fourth pounds OF corn meal
and at the rate to one hundred raons OF eight quarts
Of peas beans Or in lieu thereof ten pounds oil rice
six pounds coffee twelve pounds sugar. four quarts vine
gar, one and a half pounds talow, one and fourth
pounds adamantine, one pound sperm candles four
pounds of sosp and two quarts Of salt"
When the officers OF the medical department find anti
scorbutcs necessary for the health Of the troops the
commanding officer may order issues Of fresh vegetables,
picked onions sOur-krout molasses with extra
quantity OF rice and vinegar. Potatoes usually Is
sued the Of pound per ration, and onions al

sona issues (exrs) Of moasses are made-two quarts

one to one and half bushels to hundred raons.
In the regular army soldiers expected TO pre-
serve distribute and cook their subsistence the hire
of citizens for any Of these duties is allowed except
in extreme cases. Ovens may be built paid for by the
