“This Man Was Taught Not to Drink Water”
DRINKING WATER IS SCARCE in North Africa. And what there is, is likely to be bad.
So before our soldiers landed there, they were weaned away from water. A dash of iodine in their drinking water served the double purpose of disinfecting it, and making it taste awful.
By the time the boys landed in Africa, they’d lost all taste for water except in safe, prepared drinks.
The favorite prepared drink is lemonade. Field Ration K provides it—along with veal, pork, sausage, coffee, bouillon, malted milk tablets, biscuits, chocolate, and chewing gum—all in a 33-ounce pack.
Sounds like somebody was taking pretty good care of our boys, doesn’t it? And that’s right. American soldiers are the best-fed, best-equipped, best-cared-for in the world.
But keeping them that way takes money. So much money, that, to help pay for it, every one of us must loan at least 10% of his income to Uncle Sam through War Bonds.
War Bonds are a swell investment. They pay you back $4 for every $3. Save at least 10% of every paycheck with U.S. War Bonds.
