Spanish War Vets Lost But
 These Boys Gain

Washington, May 23 "Soldiers who fought against Spain in 1898 lost in weight on an average of P pounds each; the average American soldier at the end of the fighting in 1918 weighed twelve pounds more than he did when the selective service act or his own volition brought him into the army
 Thus the success won by the armys subsistence branch in the great war is epitomized in chapters of the of ficial war "materiaT' history made public today by the war departm ent
 The food problem of an army of 3,7OO,OOO American is visualized in the history by considering the force as a single man and the entire war period as one dinner hour. Articles comprised in the army ration as- suned these tremendous totals:
 Roast beef oO,00O,0O0 pounds; bason 15O,OO0,000 pounds; flour (bread) 1,OOO,O00,000 pounds; butter 17,5OO, 1000; oleomargarine 100000; baked beans 15O,000,000 pounds; pO- tatoes 487, ,OOOO,O0O pounds; onions 4O,OOO,0OO pounds; corn, beans and peas 15O,000,000 cans; tomatoes 19O,O00,OOO cans; prunes, peaches and apples (for desserD 107, 100000 cans; sugar 35O,OoO,o0O pounds; coffee 75,- O00,000 pounds; eVaporated milk 2OO,OOO,OOO cans.
 The bill for this 'meaI' amounted to $727, ,OOO, 900 to Decem Der 1, 1918, the per capita cost having risen from cents in 1897 to IS in 1918.
 At the time of the armistice, Amer ican soldiers in France were con- suming 9,00O,000 pounds of food daily. Moving this stupendous quan- tity over the 3,O00-mile line of com munication was the principal ob- stacle to be overcome. This and ne cessity for conserving cargo space led directly in the later months to the shipment of dehydrated vege- tables to the American expeditionary i force.
 'The problems were solved only ! by the. assistance of the American food industry" the report says and 1 while instances were found of food

Business and domestic 31, ,491,1O0 gall lons factories 192, ,225,SO0 gallons, the above amount 169S, 1850 gallons divided by 365 days would make the daily consumption 4,653,200 gallons. Assuming the population at 58, ,000, would make the per capita consump- ton 80 gallons daily, against 73 gal Ions last year, which is explained in the increased consumption. The amount paid by factories was $S0- SO3.S1; business and domestic $95- 725.14.
 Tn order to determine the quantity of water consumed as near as possi- ble, all places have been metered, and with the exception of water used for sewers, street sprinkling, fires and flushing, the daily use can be more closely determined. The consumption for the present fiscal year will show a large decrease in quantity from that of the past year on account of the factories being on shorter hours, and the water which was used in the past in conducting the liquor and beer busn ess-Which amounted to S2,4SO the past year-will be partly reduced in the future.
