In examining these rations, we observe that coin usually con- 

 stitutes a part of the ration. Most of the com used in the 

 United Kingdom and Germany comes from this country. Even 

 with the increased cost incident to importation, many companies 

 find it a relatively cheap food, and make large use of it.
