BY w. r. RYAN.

+ "the Little Corporal had been
an admiral instead Of the world
most famous general he would
have probably applied the follow
ing fundamental truth to the soldiers
Of the sea when he said that IAN army
travels on its belly" Cor, whether on
land or sea, bodily fuel is indispensa-
BILE.
If you have ever had the good for
tune TO witness a company OF Uncle
Sans sailors on parade you have I'm
doubtedly felt wave of admiration
and pride surge over yol at the sight
Of so magnificent q body of men, eX-
hibiting health and strength in every
line. And you have PERHAPS pondered
the causes that combine to produce
such stalwart specimens of manhood,
for in no nation in the world Is there
q finer, stronger, healthier body of men
than those who man the lighting ships
of the United States navy.
One Of the most important factors
contributing to achieve this physical
perfection in the naval personnel is the
food-the ration" as the three meals
a day are termed. 1t is upon the foun-
dation of food hygiene that the other
health giving factors in our man-o'-
wars mems daily routine find a per-
feet base on which to build.
The ration components are fixed by
law, which specifically states what ar
ticles of food and how much OF each
shall be served to the enlisted person
mel daily. Thus the task is set TO pro-
cure the different items OF food and
see that they are prepared in a manner
calculated to make them most attrac-
tive and nutritious.
Marketing for the navy has been
evolved into a most elaborate and sci
entific system, and when 1t is consider
ed that the navy market basket must
provide for over 10000 men every day
it is apparent that the task Is no small
one. Like the wise, discriminating
housewife, the government demands
and gets always the best in quality and
purity In every article Of food that Is
purchased for the men. Take, for ex-
ample, from among the innumerable
items comprising the ration, the prin-
cipal item, meat. This one item Is pur-
chased in great quantities, from 5OO,-
900 to 100000 pounds being not in
frequently purchased az one time. This
meat, including several kinds, such as
beef, pork, veal. fowl, etc, Is pur
chased after advertising for bids which
must be based on carefully prepared
specifications that will admit Of only
the best products the markets of the
world afford being accepted. When
the contract has been consummated
and deliveries commence, expert in
spectors are detailed to sec that the
smallest detail Of the specifications as
to quality, purity, etc, is rigidly com

promulgated by the Paymaster General
of the navy, In which he directed that
mo provision requisition will hereafter
call for any food substitute.
Adequate and satisfactory subsistence
Is the very foundation not only of real
efficiency, but of discipline itself. There
is no class of purchases for the naval
service that needs to be more constant
ly watched than provisions, our men
being no poison squad but American
citizens. for whom we stand in the re-
lation Of trustee in so far as relates to
the question Of food"
1t is of timely interest to mention
that not many weeks ago the mother
of one of the bluejackets wrote let
ter to the Navy Department In which
she complained that her boy was too
well fed on board ship, for when he
came home on q visit her table. which
was always well maintained did not
suit him any more.
1t is Of common knowledge that
cleanliness is n cardinal virtue through
out the navy, and this fact deeply i'm
presses itself on one after visit to
the galley and bakery of Dread
naught. Scrupulously clean and bright
are they always to be found.
The tiled floors of the galley and
bakery are scrubbed many times each
day. the big brass coffee urns and broil-
ing pots are cleaned inside and out
daily, and all cooking utensils are Civ
en- frequent daily baths in scalding
water. nor is this daily routine of
cleanliness ever skimped. because Of
fetal inspections are frequent and at
unexpected tipes, so that there Is every
Incentive for those in charge Of these
places to maintain with unvarying ex-
actitude degree Of cleanliness which
could not be I'm fact exceeded by the
mayor Of Spotlesstown himself.

inviting a task in the average aome.
Is no task ut all on board stiip. for
down In the scullery there Is the most
modern machinery for automatically
washing and drying all of the mess
gear, and II does the job thoroughly
and quickly.
And thus it is seen that Uncle>Sam
administers wisely and with generous
hand this phase of the sailors life. No
matter how well his home table was
maintained, the Nuejacket Is well con-
tent and satisfied with his three square

THE NAVY MENU; HOW PURCHASED,
PREPARED AND FINALLY SERVED

piled with, and not one pound is ac-
cepted until these government experts
have assured themselves Of entire com
pliance in every respect with the letter
OF the specifications and contract
The same elaborate system of speci-
hcations and inspections which governs
the purchase and delivery of this one
itemfof the navy menu is just as as
siduously and scientifically applied to
every other individual component of
the ration, including butter eggs and
spuds Irish potatoes) down to canned
tomatoes. The religious degree of ad-
herence to the prescribed specifications
for each and every item purchased can
perhaps best be illustrated by reciting
that in one delivery of about 5000
dozen eggs, ordered under navy con
tract, SO per cent of them were reject
ed as not conforming strictly to the re-
quired standard for fresh eggs. The
specifications 'or the different items of
fresh and dry provisions are interpret
ed very literally, and cold storage eggs,
like Oleomargarine, never find their
way to tie enlisted mans table.
Nor does food inspection cease at
this point, for the naval instructions
require that upon delivery aboard ship
"a medical officer shall inspect as to
quality all fresh food purchased for the
general mess" and thus the wisdom of
the following excerpt from the naval
instructions is apparent:
Orders for the fresh provisions to
be taken on board preparatory to leav-
ing port shall always call for delivery
sufficiently in advance of the time set
for sailing to make it entirely practical
BILE to secure satisfactory provisions In
replacement In the event that the deliv-
cry made by any contractor should
prove on inspection to be not entirely
up to specifications in every respect"
And so 1t is that when the navy's
market basket is filed its contents are
such as would make the eye of a pure
food expert sparkle with pleasure.
The same degree of care and system
which Is bestowed in filling the larder
applies equally in the preparation of
the food for the sailors table. This
work is delegated to n corps OF skilled,
efficient cooks and bakers, whose cult
nary ability and versatility make
mealtime aboard ship such a welcome
occasion. And these men know their
art well, for they are given very
comprehensive course of study and
practical work I'm these branches Of do
nestle science at the training station
at Newport or San Francisco before
they qualify for the rating OF their vo-

direction Of a commissioned officer Of
the Pay Corps, they bake bread and
pies and concoct all manner of tempt
ing dishes which any good housewife
would be proud to acknowledge as her

that respect and turns out each day
tons of ice for refrigeration and drink

no matter whether the ships are pa

tive manner as the family table at

sure Of getting just as much OF every
thing as he wants.
The daily bill of fare is by no means
stereotyped, for 1t varies every day
and is never the same this week as II
was the week before
In contrast with the present day gen
eral mess aboard ship it Is interesting
to look back and see how a hundred
years ago our sailors lived In this re-
spect. In those days the men did not
have tables upon which to eat, but
spread a "mess cloth upon the deck
in their respective gun rooms and
squatted on the floor around the fes-
tive cloth. The ration then, rs now,
was governed by law. which specified
exactly what articles and how much
of each would be issued TO the men
daily, and the following extract from
the law approved March q, 1894, is
herewith quoted to show how frugal
was the sailors menu in those days:
Sunday.-One pound Of bread. one and
one-half pounds of beef, half pint OF rice.
Monday.-One pound of bread one
pound Of pork, half pint of peas or beans,
four ounces of cheese.
Tuesday.-One and one-half pounds of
beef, one pound of potatoes or turnips and
pudding
Wednesday.-Two ounces of butter or I'm
lieu thereof six ounces of molasses, four
ounces OF cheese and half pint Of rice.
Thursday.-one pound Of pork, half pint
Of peas or beans
Friday.-One pound of salt fish, two
ounces OF butter or one gill of oil and
one pound of potatoes.
Seturday.-One pound of pork, half pint
of peas or beans and four ounces of
cheese. and there shall be allowed one
half pint of distilled spirits per day or

Let us visit one of the big gray
Dreadnaughts and see how the men
fare ut mealtime, starting with the
morning meal ut ''seven bells" Prompt
ly on the minute all hands are piped
below, and In orderly procession they
eagerly take their allotted places In the
different gun rooms, which at mealtime
are converted into dining rooms. AS
we take our places with the men this
is what is set before us:
Breakfast.-Fried bacon, scrambled eggs
oatmeal and milk bread, butter and cof-
fee
Dinner.-Roast chicken with bread dress
ing, mashed potatoes, stewed peas cram
berry sauce, mince pie. bread, butter and
coffee
Supper.-Salmon with onions potato

tiers, bread, butter, coffee and cake.
The meals above described were &C
tually served on board the United
States battleship Wyoming and repre-
sent In quality and variety the average
daily ration aboard ship. One could
scarcely wish to partake of more
tempting or wholesome repasts.
The food Is not served TO the men In
individual portions, but each table. ac-
commodating from ten to fifteen men,
has its own supply in several big
dishes, which the men pass around and
help themselves from, In the same rela-

The last item is interesting in the
light of present day regulations, which
strictly prohibit liquor In the navy for
drinking purposes. There were no ia
cilities for refrigeration aboard ships
In those days, and consequently fresh
provisions were luxury. Icemak
