This man was taught not to drink water
WATER i s s just plain drinking
yater . : ; is a mighty scarce item
to American soldiers now in the North
African deserts. And what little water
they can find, often isn’t fit to drink.
)| So before our soldiers were landed in
Africa, they were put through a stiff course
' of training to wean them away from drink*
ing water! They were taught to dip water
from streams in cups, and add a dash of
iodine before drinking. This served the
i double purpose of disinfecting the water,
and of making it taste pretty terrible.
^ Each time, a heavier dash of iodine was
added (but never enough to be dangerous),
until finally the soldiers lost all desire for
drinking water except in prepared drink*;
i Ait American soldier's favorite drink
' The favorite prepared drink of the Amer
ican soldier is good, old-fashioned lemon*
ade! But how were our boys to carry
lemonade around with them? 4
The Desert Warfare Board found the
answer to that one : : : in what they call
Field Ration K; This provides three
meals for one man, each in a separate box,
with a total weight of 33 ounces, and a
total value of 3700 calories.
Field Ration K provides meat three times
a day . . . veal luncheon meat for break
fast, pork luncheon meat for dinner at
noon, and cervelat sausage at supper time;
It provides coffee for breakfast, bouillon
for dinner, and a package of lemon juice
powder to make lemonade for supper;
Ration K also includes malted milk tab
lets, biscuits, a bar of chocolate, and three
sticks of chewing gum; < Hi
~- Sounds like “good earin’ ” for those
American boys in Africa, doesn’t it?
Makes you feel mighty good to know ;
r *
they’re so well cared for! We’ll -all agree
that the best of everything is none too good
for our boys! j
The things our fighting men need and
deserve, cost money. They cost so much S
money that if we are to provide them,.it 1
will mean that each of us will have to
invest at least 10% of his or her income
in War Bonds and Stamps. .
Perhaps you are already putting 10% of
your pay in War Bonds every paydays *
But can’t you boost that 10% . . . just a
little? You can if you’ll try . . . and
you’ll try all right, if you’ll just stop and
think how badly that money is needed! 4 M
Think, too, about what a swell investment
War Bonds are. Safest investment in the
world ; ; ; and, for every $3 you invest in
War Bonds today, you get bade $4 ten
years from nowl / f _
SAVE WITH U.S. WAR BONDS '
