Apparently the references were salts

domestic and the generals wife had
for each other was shirt-lived. as

 Mroe than 350,000 quarts of fresh fluid milk per day will be consumed by the maneuver forces, plus the new trainecs in cantonments. Fresh fluid milk has been added to the daily ration to provide America s soldiers with the best possible diet, according to the Milk Industry Foundation.
