Some fires there rill be emergencies whon it 

 will not be possible to -et food to the fire line for 

 et least a nunter of hours. It seems entirely feasible 

 to aeot this in advance by making sone use of the U. S. 

 Army ecer;onoy ration as *-art of the rejular oruipment 

 of fire guards. Each ol these rations rei^hs eijht

 went aoffleU ing wholesome and nourishing to keep you 



foing until the square rieel sets there. It is far better 

 han having nothing in your stnmaoh. T>is army emergency 

 retinn is composed as follows: 



Chocolate liquor 45.45> 



Huoleo-casein 7.27 



Malted milk 7.2

Pondered cane sugar 21.82 



Cocoa butter 3.64 



It tastes better when swallowed without reading 

 the table of contents .
