Hot Meats for Russian Troops.

In the recent news many people
have noticed one or two references to
the fact that timed meats for the Rus
sian troops are prepared by process
which enables the contents Of each tin
to be served hot without fire. This
boon is obtained by having the or
binary tins filed with food "jacketed''
in patent tins. The patent tin con-
tains water, together with chemical
mixture by means of which the water
can be raised to boiling point in ten
minutes or quarter of an hour. All
that Is necessary TO do when it is de
sired to heat the food Is to puncture
the top Of the patent tin, the chemical
mixture being thereby forced into the
water, which soon begins to boil.
