There are great many people who
think there is something in the talk
about soldiers being underfed. This
may be true when the regiment gets
away from base Of supplies, but it
is not by any means the true or real
condition of affairs here. The best
way to show this is to give the plain,
simple facts; to show exactly what
the men here get. The ration sup
ply of ten days is given. 1t is:
Fresh bread, l0,l30 loaves, weigh
ing a little over pound each; fresh
beef, 1858 3-4 pounds; bacon, 2,279
pounds; hominy, 5SS pounds; rice,
425 pounds; potatoes, 1901 pounds;
tomatoes, 3,037 pounds; coffee,
roasted, SO7 pounds; sugar, New
Orleans, 1,50O pounds; salt, 405
pounds; pepper, 25 IA pounds; soap
4O5 pounds; candles, l57 pounds;
matches, one gross.
Au.lyze this and it is found that
each days rations for one man is as
follows: Bread, pound, 2 ounces;
fresh beef, rs ounce; bacon, IA
ounce; hominy, and rice, IS
ounces; potatoes, II is ounces; to-
mates, 4 is ounces; coffee, roasted
1925 ounces; sugar, 2 225 ounces;
soap, 1925 ounces; candles, 5 25
ounces.
