HARD TACK NOW THING
PAST IN army AND NAVY.
Government is Giving Soldiers,
Sailors and Marines Best Of
Fare.
Times. Dispatch Bureau,
Munyey Building.

The report Of Brigadier-General
Sharpe, commissary- general OF the
army, which was made public to-day.
contains the interesting statement that
SO bakers and lis cooks were grad
uatcd from the army cooking schools
at Fort Riley, Washington Barracks
and Presidio, Cal, during the past
year.
The army. no less than the navy. is
paying far more attention to the fare
of the enlisted men than was formerly
paid. The provisions which were sup
piled the army and navy of the United
States fifty or seventy five years ago
would not be allowed on shipboard
or inside the gates of military res
ervation in these days.
In this connection, 1t is interesting
to note tl;> the department announce d
to-day that there would be no hard
tack on the vessels OF the Atlantic
fleet when they start for the Pacific
from Hampton Roads on the 18th OF
December.
This old standby of sailors has prac-
tically disappeared from our navy, and
the seamen who make the cruise to thu
Pacific under Admiral Evans will have
white bread, as light and flaky and
as fresh as that which the pampered

has It's bakery which turns out bread
comparing favorably with that sold in
the cities.
General Sharpe says in his report
that experiments have been made with
number of fireless cookers during
the past year, and while some of thesa
have been demonstrated TO be satisfac.
tory for cooking on a small scale, but
that none has yet been designed which
is satisfactory for the needs of such
a large number of men as nave to De
supplied with rations by The subslst-
ence department of the navy.
The financial report shows that Cen
eral Sharpe fed the army with fine re-
gard to economy during the past year.
yet it is admitted that the American
soldier is better fed than any other i'll
the world.
