ATE ENLISTED MEMS FOOD.
Experiment With Naval Cadets on
Cruise Works Well.

For the first time in the history of the
Naval Academy the midshipmen during
their annual practice cruise last year
subsisted entirely on the navy ration as
issued to the enlisted men of the practice
squadron. Paymaster General T. j., Cowie.
chief Of the bureau Of supplies and ac-
counts Of the Navy Department, refers to
the matter in his annual report
ASIDE from the advantages he says,
such, for instance, as a saving of money
to the midshipmen. the lessening of stor-
age spaces required, better refrigerating
arrangements, etc, the fact that the en-
listed mems rations completely satisfied
the midshipmen, who are accustomed to
the excellent cuisine Of the Naval Aca-
envy, is gratifying evidence as to the
character and quality of the navy ration
regularly issued to the enlisted men
throughout the service
