the United States army authorities. This was 
based on the present United States army ration 
formula. One day’s ration comes in the shape 
of three cakes, weighing, together, eight ounces 
net. 
“Its components are chocolate, nucleo- 
casein, malted milk, desiccated eggs, sugar and 
cocoa butter. It is put up in a tin case that may 
be opened without the use of an instrument, 
simply by pulling off a strip of tin. The label 
states that the contents will sustain a person 
(adult man, presumably) for twenty-four hours. 
The number of calories is in decided excess of 
what the average diet for a workingman re¬ 
quires. 
"My habits being unusually sedentary I 
waited until I could get off to the country for a 
week. During this week I gave my eyes a rest, 
and spent the time sawing and chopping wood 
and similar bodily exercises, as severe and pro¬ 
longed as my strength permitted. This, how¬ 
ever, was far short of what would be demanded 
of a soldier on a raid, but it was the best test 
that offered. 
“I tried living exclusively upon the 
emergency rations, taking each cake in a pint 
and a half of hot water to add the bulk, a pre¬ 
caution that was neglected in the experiments 
described by Parkes. Before the end of the 
week I suffered a smart attack of indigestion, 
evidently due to overfeeding. The ration con¬ 
tained more food than I could dispose of, even 
with the hard work. 
“The cakes look and taste like the ordinary 
sweet chocolate of the shops. The sweetness 
made it rather cloying after a time; otherwise 
it was pleasant enough. One such experiment 
goes for little, but that little shows that the ra¬ 
tions contain at least enough food value for its 
purpose; it surely will sustain a soldier for the 
period given, twenty-four hours. 
“The army authorities seem to be sensitive 
to hostile criticism, and are careful to explain 
that they are not recommending these as aught 
but emergency rations, and by no means as a 
substitute for the regular food supply. They 
conservatively suggest that these emergency 
rations should be better in emergencies than no 
rations at all; and they are fully justified in 
this. 
“They might go much further, and assert 
that when a raiding column is sent out each 
soldier could easily carry eight of these packets 
about his person without seriously adding to 
the burden of his equipment, and that this would 
enable him to keep constantly on the route 
without stopping to forage, or even to prepare 
food, as the cakes could be nibbled dry while 
marching. 
“Of similar importance is this matter to the 
hunter, trapper or traveller in the frozen North, 
or in any part of the world, where it is neces¬ 
sary to carry food along, and where every use¬ 
less ounce must be eliminated from the equip¬ 
ment. The reduction of a week’s rations, full 
food value, to three and a half pounds would 
simplify many a contemplated exploration. The 
bulk needed to distend the stomach may be 
supplied by water or by chewing any non-me- 
dicinal leaves accessible. 
“I understand that there has been a dis¬ 
position to criticise the army people in this 
matter, and to charge them with an attempt to 
scientifically starve the soldier. That such a 
charge should be made by any person worthy 
of a hearing, or by anybody else than one who 
is looking for a plausible chance to find fault, 
seems impossible. Anyhow, war is not a matter 
of sentiment or of prejudice, but of cold fact; 
and modern war cannot afford to forego any ad¬ 
vantage, even if slight.” 
SHIPMENTS FROM THE UNITED STATES 
American exports of oysters have averaged 
$600,000 in value for a number of years, the 
amount in the fiscal year 1911 reaching $690,268. 
There were increased sales of about $100000 to 
Canada, which purchased $378,355 worth, while 
England took $163,100 worth. The remainder of 
the exports were in small amounts to various 
countries throughout the world, evidently all 
canned oysters.
