A SOLDIER BOILING HIS RATION OVER THE HOME-MADE RATION HEATERS 



Three of these little rolls of paper, no larger than a spool of silk, saturated with hot 

 paraffin and allowed to cool, will burn without smoke, which in the presence of the enemy 

 is dangerous, and will boil a pint of soup in about ten minutes and keep lighted for twenty 

 minutes or half an hour. By supporting the can of soup on pieces of rock and protecting 

 the flames from the wind an ideal individual camp meal can be made.
