utensils is n 20-gallon coffee pot; an

The big kettles are jacketed with ely

Meat must enter largely into the

Immediately. Frozen beef Is also large
ly used. though dSicult to transport.
Canned beef, dried beef and corned
beef are In very general use. Canned
stuifs OF all kinds are available for
the soldier Of the present day. Canned
pork and beans and rations OF com
blned meat and cereal, put up In In
dividual tins, are also staple articles
OF diet.
The English army recently made a
change IN the ration on the advice OF
the army medical board. The doctors
decided that as Tommy Atkins was
doing harder work he ought Ia get
more food. The ration is worked out
In 'calorles," which are really heat
units. A given amount Of a certain
sort OF food will supply a definite num-
Der Of these heat units. Formerly the
English soldiers daily ration was ex'
pectod to give him 1000 %calorios. Now
II Is to give him 5000, the extra thou
sand being intended to supply him
with energy for the extra work he
has TO do and the extra nerve strain
he has TO stand. As a heat unit. one
calorie should supply 3,O77 foot pounds
of mechanical energy. Therefore, q
soldiers ration should supply 5000,
900 foot pounds OF energy a day,
which Is ten times the amount OF mus
cular energy displayed by a man doing
a hard days work.
