Chocolate Now Goes To War For Taste and Tonic Washington, D.C. — Chocolate is once again at the battlefront as a diet ruper-charger for the American soldier fighting in win ter-bound North Korea. * The popular energy food is con sidered so important to the G.I. that it is now included in every operational ration issued by the Department of Defense. Food Packet Survival Arctic, for example, provides no less than four chocolate bars—two with al monds—per man per. day. Sol diers going to the front lines for eight to ten hours are issued two one-ounce bars' in their Food Packet Individual Assault. Ration C—the basic canned operational ration—offers both chocolate and cocoa disks. Three-fourths of the candy com ponent in the 5-in-l Ration, de signed for group use, contains chocolate, while the Ration Sup plement Sundries Pack, for 100 men, includes 200 two-ounce chocolate and 48 two-ounce choco late-covered bars. The fighting man in Korea is not only getting a dose of energy with his chocolate but something tasty as well. This was not entire ly true during World War II, de spite the fact that millions of chocolate bars were consumed across the globe in the form of Emergency Ration D. This ration —containing four ounces of choco late and some 600 calories—was designed especially to taste “no better than an unsalted baked potato” in order to keep the G.I. from eating it as candy. Today, the army’s new chocolate policy is to give the men the nourishing food in the form of sweets they have eaten and en joyed since they were kids. In en couraging the use of chocolate the military may well be remem bering the words of the Spanish explorer, Cortez, who wrote in the 16th century, “A single cup of this rich, drink gives a man sufficient strength to march all day.” Although Cortez was quick to recognize the energy value of chocolate—a product of the native American cacdo tree—he did not appreciate its taste as prepared by the Aztec Indians. When he in troduced the food into Spain in 1528 it was used primarily as a medicine and was far too expen sive for anyone except the rich. An unknown genius added sugar to give chocolate its first wide taste appeal, but it was not until the 19th century that the price fell low enough to make it a popu lar beverage with all classes. In the United States alone, raw cacao imports leaped from 500.000 pounds in 1780 to more than 600 million pounds by 1946. A room that is inclined to b< dark and rather gloomy can be given a sunshiny aspect by paint ing the walls a pale tint of yellow. A ceiling painted white will re flect the maximum light that falls upon it. In one such >room. the wood-trim was coaled m a grayed-lavender tone and dra peries were a silvery gray The upholstery combined blue-green and gray and tangerine toned accessories added gayety and life to the room’s decoration “Hush-A-Bye Baby” is the theme song in the home of an Oriental silk farmer when his silkworms begin to spin their cocoon*. The family talks in whis pers and walks on tiptoe, for silkworms will cease the spinning process when frightened. Many silk raisers share their homer with the productive little mot) larvae. HELP!
