HIGH COSTS HIT UNCLE SAM
Expense Of Feeding Each Man In Army
More Than Doubled In the
Past Twelve Years.

Uncle Sam, the largest individual
housekeeper in the United States, IL
the hardest hit of all by the high cost
Of living. He spends between $9,000,'
900 and $10,000000 a year to feed his
soldiers and sailors alone.
In the last 12 years his food costs
have more than doubled. The army
ration today is approximately 81
cents; In 1898 1t was less than Il
cents.
1t costs Uncle Sam more money to
feed the boys at Fort Hamilton, N
Y, than 1t costs to feed the soldiers
in Manila. ~
The reason for this Is meat.
Chinese beef is now bought at 10
and IL cents a pound at Hong Kong
and other points. New Zealand and
Australian mutton runs cheaper. than
the American product. In addition to
this, rice, prunes, peaches and other
commodities, including beet sugars OF
the Pacific coast travel to the Philip
pines In army transports and the
freight charge. which figures in the
prune and peach eaten In the East, is
eliminated.
