How the Onion Helped Win the War

machinery would be useless rusted
junk unless the men who operate
them are provided with the right kind
of food. The lowly onion Is a part Of
the right kind" of food and is en-
titled to considerable share of the
credit in the winning of the war.
Ample proof of this statement is
found in the fact that from the be-
ginning of the war until the signing
of the armistice the subsistence de-
partment of the United States Army
furnished approximately $4,000, 900
pounds of onions to the soldiers in
the various camps and cantonments
of the country.
Amy soldier will tell you that there
were times without number, during
his military experience, when there
was nothing in the world he craved
quite SO much as a big juicy onion,
and when he got his fill of them he
was ready to lick the world.
The state of Texas produced last
year half dozen onions for every
man. woman and child of the 100. :

States.
