call goldfish, for force of 800
900 men. Officials said that sp-
rroximatelv 1000. 900 cans were
purchased in the full IL months
OF 1889.
They estimated that in the last
six months of this year. when the
army will approximate 1900, 900
men. the requirements will be
about $500 900 cans. In the first
half of the year they believe. at

quired.
