Confectionery In Army Rntions.

Candy has been added to the regular
ration of the American soldier, says
The Scientific American. One New
York firm has shipped more than 30
tons of confectionery during the past
year for the troops in the Philippines.
Cuba and Porto Rico. The government
buys candy of good quality, which
would retail from 80 TO 40 cents a
pound. 1t consists of mixed chocolate
creams. lemon drops, cocoanut maca-
rooms and aciduIated fruit drops. These
are put in sealed one pound cans of a
special oval shape. designed to fit the
pockets of a uniform coat. According
to The Evening Post. the use of candy
as an army ration originated in some
experiments on the diet of the troops
conducted by the German government
ten years ago. They showed that the
addition of candy and chocolate to the
regular ration greatly improved the
health and endurance of the troops US
ing it. Since that time the German
government has issued cakes of choco-
late and n limited amount of othe:- con-
fectiOnery. The queen has just for
warded 100000 pounds of chocolate in
half pound packages as a Christmas
treat for the troops in the Transvaal.
American jam manufacturers are con-
sidering Il movement to add jam to the
army ration. 1t has been found so
wholesome for the British army that
1,4J0,000 pounds have been dispatched
to South Africa as n four months sup
ply for Jig. 900 troops.

took a blacksnake by the tail and
whirled it around his head, all the

Last week we made mtItiou that
George Raver had made an application
for temporary order restraining the
Willow Greek Mining Company from
selling his stock for unpaid assessments.
The hearing was had last week at Hot
Springs and the temporary order was
granted. as we understand. upon the
grounds that the assessments were levied
in excess Of authority granted by the
bylaws of the corporation. The case
will come up for trial and final disposi-
ton at the regular May term OF court, at
which time the temporary order will he
made permanent, or else dissolved. We
are informed that the bylaws in fact do
provide for the levying Of assessments
at the rate levied by the board Of direc-
tors, but that fact did not sufficiently
appear to the judge on the hearing.
The order only affects the stock of Mr..
Raver and past assessments on his stock,
but does not relate to or affect any fut-
ure assessments made by the board Of
directors
