Compact Foods Tested for Army Rations

The War Department is making a test of compact foods for the army. A detachment of soldiers has just left Fort Reno, O. T., for this purpose, and will subsist on the new foods for a number of days, under march. A single ration is supposed to contain enough food to sustain a man for one day, and, in its package, weighs about a pound. This is one of the demands of war, especially where an army is invading an enemy's country.
