COST OF FEEDING ARMY
SHOWS GREAT INCREASE
DOUBLES SINCE 1900; ALMOST
TREBLEs SINCE 1890 RIA.
TON DEFINED.

When the new army of 100000 men
is actually In existence 1t is going to
cost Uncle Sam almost as much to
feed 1t as he would have had to pay
to feed a million men back in 1900.
That is an accurate tangible meas
ure of the increase in the cost of liv-
ing, says the New York Herald. The
quartermaster general of the army
has records of the cost of rations
which practically tabulate the rise in
food costs year by year and even
month by month. In the last four
months there has been rise of three
cents a ration.
A ration is the subsistence required
by one man for one day. 1t does not
vary in food value. 1t Is a fixed guam
tity, but it varies in cost. One hun
bred rations will always keep one
man 100 days. but 1t costs $32 to keep
him for that period now, whereas in
1900 1t would have cost 1867, and
away back in 1890 1913 would have
served.
Ration Cost in 1900.
In 1900 the ration cost was 1897
cents It sagged toward the latter
part of the decade but rose to 21.05
cents in 1909.
Since that time the figures have
been pretty steadily mounting; 1910
saw the ration cost 21.44 cents and
toward the close of 1915 the figure
was 1854 cents. 1t was 20 cents on
January /, 1917. and 80 cents on May
/, 1917.
This increase of 3 cents in the cost
$4,000 more every day to feed the ar
my of 100000. The increase for a
year would be $5,475,00o. For per-
iod of four months, for which many
contracts are made, it represents an
increase of $l,S25,000.
1t only requires an increase of "a
of a cent in the cost Of a ration to
increase the food bills of an army of
100000 men. s1,00O,Ooo year.
There are five kinds of rations--
garrison, haversack, travel, Filipino
and emergency Filipino rations are
issued only to Filipino scouts. Travel
rations are issued to troops travelling
otherwise than by marching when
they are separated from cooking ia
cilties Emergency rations are for
troops on active campaign in emera
gency only or in the field for in
struction.
Ration Defined.
Whenever possible. whether in bar
racks or in the field, garrison rations
are issued. A garrison ration need
not necessarily consist of the same
articles each day. Technically ra-
ton is the money allowance for the
subsistence of one person for one day.
The company commander is allowed
so much money for each man In his
command For each day and he draws
food as he needs it not to exceed the
value of the ration.
The cost OF ration is based upon
the actual cost to the government of
the articles and quantities which con-
sttute it.
Despite the rise in the value of ra-
tions almost any woman who keeps
house would be glad if she could buy
food as cheaply. Few families find it
possible to subsist on s116.S0 year
for each person.

Miner. Should Strip Befor. Bathing.

In the~Anode, the organ of the bur-
eau of safety of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, is chronicled an ac-
cident that seems unusual. A miner
accidentally got some carbide inside
his underwear and received bad burn
when he took a bath without undres-
sing. To remove the danger of a re-
petition of such a calamity, the En-
cheering and Mining Journal suggests
that the ABODE consider the possible
ity of arranging for the separate wash
ing Of underwear and bodies.

FIRST TO FIGHT.

Equally Attractive ADVANTAGE.

over 5000 loaves of bread like
mother used to make" are produced
daily by the marine corps bakers in
their giant bakery at the recruit de-
pot at Port Royal, S. C. This amount
is required for feeding the recruits
undergoing the "two-in-one" marine
corps course of intensive training for
modern warfare.
