the changes In the Army ration since
l775. The astronomical story of the
American soldier I'm peace and war is
shown In special exhibit which has
been arranged by the Quartermaster
Corps after ch.cking up on old orders
ana ration acquisitions in the hleS at
the War Department.
The Continental soldier Of ITS was
allowed fairly good ration for that
day~~~if he could get It, Generally. Of
course, he couldn't He had TO take
what came to hand in the country
where he was campaigning. There were
no food depots back OF the lines where
redulSitionS were honored
He was allowed. by order, a ration
mode IT'D rs follows: ono pint of fresh
naslk Is ounces OF -four. s ounces OF
difed peas. Is ounces of beef. one
ounce OF rice, about half inch OF wax
candle, about Attn of an ounce Of
soap and-one quart OF spruce beer
The latter doubtless was to make him
forget the rest. This ration cost. nj
that time. about IL cents.
Food prices had risen by 1912, The
soldier In that war was allowed APP
nfoSimately 20 cents worth of food a
day, but the ration Itself had not I'm
proved materially from that which had
been doled out to his father occasion
ally in the War for independence. He
was allowed Ia ounces OF flower. 20
ounces of beef, about half an ounce Of
salt and slightly more than half an
ounce of soap, Besides he had bit
of candle an inch long. The quart of
spruce beer had disappeared from the
ration and In Its place the enlisted man
was allowed one gill OF rum, Anything
else needed to satisfy the appetite must
come from the country.
The first notable improvement In the
Army ration came In 1888. about the
time Of the war with Mexico. Spirits
disappeared entirely and coffee was In
troduced for the first time. The soldier
was allowed slightly less than an ounce.
Grizzled campaignerS OF 1912 probably
turned up their noses at an allowance
of almost two ounces Of sugar and de-
clared that the Army was becoming a
place for mamas' boys. The explana-
tion simply was that those who dictated
the Army ration were coming to
clearer understanding OF the diet re-
quirements OF the human body and
knew that q soldier could not keep In
the pink OF condition ON bread. beef
and hooze, They recognised that
man. as we'll rs COW, needed salt and
provided for halt an ounce OF II q day.

small allowance OF soap and candles
TN 1860. with the Civil War in the I'M
mediate foreground, the ration was
changed again, A ration costing ap-
proximateIy Is cents was introduced
The allowance of coffee was raised from
less than an ounce to more than an
ounce and a half The need of sugar
was recognized still further and the
amount nearly doubled A couple of
pinches Of black pepper were intro
ouced. Thers was a slight increase In
the amount of soap and candle. Near
ly half sill Of vinegar was allowed
The -four and beef allowances were
not increased.
This ration continued In effect
throughout the Civil War and was fol-
lowed faithfully when this was practi-
cable Generally, of course, soldiers In
the field took what they could get
whenever they could grab 1t. The pre-
scribed ration was used In base camps
and. 80 far rs possible. In hospitals.
Thirty years later. In the face of an
other war. the ration again was
changed and enriched. The soldier of
1893 was allowed "a ounces of beans.

baking powder. "a ounces of sugar. i,6
ounces OF coffee. "a ounce Of salt. 80
