This man was tauqht not to drink wafer

WATER a ; ; just plain drinking
water ; ; ; 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 i.
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
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 t^ie soldiers lost all desire for
drinking water except in prepared drinks.
An 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? >
The Desert Warfare Board found the
answer to that one ... in what they call
iield 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.
Sounds like "good eatin'" for those
American boys in Africa, doesn't it?
Makes you feel mighty good to know
they're so well cared fori We'll all agree
that the best of everything is none too good
for our boys! "■& ■ ' ^
The things our fighting men need and
deserve, cost money. They cost so much
money that if we are to provide them, it
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% or
your pay in War Bonds every payday.
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!
Think, too, about what a sweii investment
War Bonds are. Safest investment in the
world . ; ; and, for every $3 you invest in
War Bonds today, you get back $4 ten
years from now!
SAVE WITH U.S. WAR BONDS
EVERYBODY—EVERY PAYDAY...
AT LEAST 10%
