Is Included in the Emergency Ration
About to BE Adopted.

have his tobacco, as lawful part Of
the emergency ration" which the gov
eminent will furnish him in time of
trouble. provided Adjt Gen. Ruggles
and the commissary general of sub
siStence can agree ON the terms Of the
general order which shall announce to
the service the adoption of this feature
Of military existence.
The secretary Of war has formally
adopted the report made some months
ago by board of experts, which es-
tablished a combination of food and
drink 10 be known as the emergency
ration" Foreign armies have such d
thing, and it is of great value in true
of war.
There were many difficult problems
connected with the subject, such a.
weight and the nutritiye quality of
something that should be durable and
compact The board had TO devise a
means Of carrying this ration once ii
vas conn ounded. Not only must there
hc package to contain the entire ra-
ton. but there had to be bags for car
ryiug coffee. salt and pepper, tough
parafiinc paper for use in wrapping
about bacon and cylindrical pack
ago for pea meal, used for making
soup.
The adopted emergency ration will
weigh trife over 80 ounces and will
provide food and drink for a soldier foi
FIVE days, or, in times of direst emer'
eency, for ten days. For longer pc
riods it is recommended that full ra-
tons be carried. \ by no means un-
important provision is that the new ra-
ton includes a portion of tobacco, sug-
gested 10y the liberal-minded experts
as Il solace TO the soldier. The ration
