Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1901-10-11

There is great gloom at the
headquarters of the Protective Tariff
league and the Home Market club.
They fear the tariff is about to be
meddled with and that even some
reasonable republicans may be help
ing to break open the shrine at which
they worship. They are still firing
blank cartridges ct the democrats,
but it is only in a half-hearted way.
They should reserve their ammuni-
ton and pour some hot SHOT into
these recreant republicans and they
may keep up the Chinese wall awhile
longer. Their allies, the trusts, should
be. called upon to give more material

ARMY EMERGENCY RATIoNs.
Captain Fountain Reports ON the Ex-
periments in the Field.

Capt Daniel W Fountain Eighth Cav
airy, member OF the board of army Off
GERS appointed some months ago to in
vestigate the question of an emergency
ration for the army, yesterday presented
the boards report to the Adjutant Gen
eral. The report explains in detail ra-
ton devised by the beard and the result
of practical experiments with its use hy
several squads OF soldiers in the West.
where it was tried in comparison with
several commercial emergency raticas.
The board concludes that the ration of
its own adoption gave better results than
the commercial rations and recommends
it's adoption for use in the army. This
ration Is composed of eyaporated heef
and specially prepared wheat, and choco-
late is substituted for tea for drinking.
The details of the experiment are set
forth. One squad of soldiers subsiSt5d
for several days on the boards ration,
and particular observations were made as
to their weight and health before during.
and after the experiment and as TO the
palatableness of the compound. Another
squad of soldiers was then fed on one of
the commercial rations with similar OBJ
seryations. Each days record was enter
ed in a book and upon this record the
board bases its conclusions.
The record. however shpws much di-
versity Of opinion among the soldiers as
to the satisfactory effects of the rations.
The board holds that while the CONNER
cial rations were good and would meet
certain requirements the boards ration
was generally speaking, superior.
