/ The COmmissary Department.
] Captain R, r. Sgmond Zumbrota, regi-
| mental commissary, is one of the busiest men
in camp. This is the only regiment that
| issues its commissary stores as is done in the
! regular army. Each morning between Z and
8 the company comn1issaries draw for the day
their rations, which consist of bread, meat
potatoes, coffee, beans, canned tomatoes
canned corn and canned apples. The amounts
vary from day to day, but the method gives
excellent satisfaction. The commissary has
also arranged for the supply of wood and
ice for the different companies, which has re-
suited in saving of So to each company
The saving OIL edihles is great, for It has
been proven that the habit of purchasing in
quantities means great saving over the
old plan, and the ore now in vogue in the
other regiments, of allowing the company
commissaries to make these purchases in
! dividually. Captain Sigmond arranges for thu
supply of fresh beef before the regiment ar.
rives in camp, has it butchered and put ir
cold storage about ten days before it is to BIZ
used. Starting in with the neck each com
| pany takes it's turn at the better pieces
changing each day, and by this method thu
entire beef is used. 1t is expected there will
4 be new commssary depot built in time fol
use during the next camp. 2..5sE5
