The United states Army ration is the most liberal

product of the experience OF several generations or

Too much candle There is candle component In

This leads me 20 refer to the elasticity OF the

but Is elasticity also Is wonderful 1t Is so elastic
that the soldier may verify eat his candles II he
does not require them for other purposes. He may
leave the candles in the hands Of the Subsistence
Department and If their money value Will pay
for a can OF peaches a pound OF rice or 50 much
by the subsistence officers he can eat his candle
component in the form OF peaches or rice or any
of the other purchasable things. SO with the
bacon He is no more required to eat that because
II is part of the ration than he is required to eat
tho candles but he may transform IL into some
other article OF food which he likes better or which
Is better fo- him under the climatic conditions
which affect him at the time. So, indeed. with all
the other components of the ration, excepting only
and dried fruit. Even the fresh beef component
may be reduced In quantity and the money value
OF the quantity issued for use may be drawn In

HOW BRITISH SOLDIERS ARE IDENTIFIED.
From The London Mall.
The names Of the British killed and wounded after
battle ascertained by means OF the identifca-
tion cards which all soldiers carry sewn up IN
the left hand corner OF their khaki tunics.
On the card is written the soldiers name, rank,
regmental number together with the name and
address Of his next Of kin. The latter Is added so
that the authorities may know where to forward
the effects of any soldier who gets killed.
After an engagement the roll Is called
the regiments get back TO their camp. Every man
who does not answer is licked Of as missing, and
search is made for him on the field. As the search
parties come across the dead and wounded men
they rip open the tunic at the left hand corner and
take out the identification card The cards thus
collected are carried back TO camp and handed over
to the clerks OF the general In command. who
therefrom compile the casualty lists. After all the
cards have been collected the roll is checked again.
