NEW BACON CAN
FOR THE SOLDIER
Officers on Leave, Transfers
of Enlisted Men and
Army Personals.

- ~ - - - ~-~--~a
{ A new bacon can has been introduced
I into the commissary department Of the
army which is believed TO be less liable
TO corrode from the bacon salt than the
can used heretofore. The new can has
( no Joints or seams and is more able TO
Withstand the corrosive action Of the
salt As the folding to which the tin
! is subjected in being manufactured into
3 cans often breaks the surface coating
OF the tin, making the tin more liable
10 corrosive action. the new can is
drawn into shape first in order TO pre-
vent this, and after u is in shape the
coating Of tin is applied.
As complaints had been made against
the old tin can, from a number OF
sources in the army. a report on the
new tin cans. from the chief OF ord
nance 70 the secre tary OF war, has been
. sent TO the commander Of every de-
partment. In the report it Is stated
Z that aluminium. which was suggested as
a substitute for tin in the bacon cans,
is not suited at all for this purpose, as
bacon has the ability to corrOde- Alu-
minum is also reported unable to with
stand the action OF damp salt, and
therefore unfit for use as salt cOmpart-
ments for the CondimenC cans.
