THE ARMY RATION.
\ Good Suggestion From an Old
Soldier.

The government has been expert
menting for some years seeking con-
densed food to be used by soldiers in
case of emergency when the army
shall cut loose from its base of sup
plies and cast off its wagon trains
and the troops shall carry their ra-
TONS for a number of days in their
havcrsacks. While some progress has
been made the problem has not ."et
been solved.
A veteran from the Civil War, writ
ing from New England, says in this
connections:
II have been using Grape-Nuts food
for some time, and my liking for 1t
increases with use. L find it extreme
~ palatable. and not only digestible,
but an aid To the digestion of other
food which used to give me trouble.
What has particularly struck me
is the fact that a very small quantity
of II is sufficient for an entire meal

Cumberland Liquor Law.

The case of state VS. Barrett, re-
felred to last week, from Cumber-
land. which was a conviction of re-
failing liquor under one of the statutes
making the possession of certain
quantity of liquor presumptive evil
dence of illegal sale, was argued yes
terday. 1t seems that the Cumber-
land statute differs slightly in form
as well as in the amount necessary
to raise the presumption from the ia
NOUS Union County case. IN the
Cumberland statute the wording is
such las to make the possession of
over two gallons of liquor Illegal, and
with the addition that possession of
such amount shall be prima facie evil
dence of illegal sale. II will be re-
membered that the defendant went
on the stand and sought TO rebut the
raised by the statute by
testifying that he had bought the
liquor as agent for certain friends.
and that he had not sold any por-
ton thereof. On ttss question, as
to whether when evidence was intro
duced in rebuttal the burden was not
shifted to the State there was an
interesting distinction open between
the Union County case, where the
only testimony was that of possession
of the forbidden quantity and the
case where the question
of evidence in rebuttal and the duty
of the jury With respect thereto was
involved. On the argument yester-
day. however the entire Cumberland
law was strongly attacked for ur.-
consttutionality on the ground of the
provision which rendered the bare
possession of two gallons of liquor.
andt a misdemeanor. In
this view of the case the court could
easily hold with the defendant and
still leave untouched its decision in
the Union County case.
