GARRISON RATION, UNITED STATES ARMY. 
The United States War Department after long experience in the 
feeding of soldiers has determined accurately the kinds and quan- 
tities of food materials believed to be best suited to their needs. 
Fresh meats are ordinarily issued 7 days in 10 and bacon 3 days. 
The ration includes practically all of the common foods and admits 
of many combinations which insure variety. It may, however, be 
supplemented by fresh vegetables and fruits of all kinds when they 
can be obtained from a post garden or any other convenient source.
