1101... ..A book will be kept by the commissary at each post, in which will be entered the monthly returns of provisions received and issued (Form 1). It will show from whom the purchases have been made, and whether paid for. It is called the Commissary's book, and will not be removed from the post.

NOTES.

1. Stores longest on hand will be issued first.

2. Armorers, carriage-makers, and blacksmiths, of the Ordnance Department, are entitled to one and a half rations per day; all other enlisted men, one ration. Laundresses, one ration. No hired person shall draw more than one ration.

3. One ration a day may be issued to any person employed with the army, when the terms of his engagement require it, or on paying the full cost of the ration when he can not otherwise procure food.

4. Lamps and oil to light a fort or garrison are not allowed from the Subsistence Department.

5. In purchasing pork for the southern posts, a preference will be given to that which is put up in small pieces, say from four to six pounds each, and not very fat.

6. As soldiers are expected to preserve, distribute, and cook their own subsistence, the hire of citizens for any of these duties is not allowed, except in extreme cases. The expenses of bakeries are paid from the post fund, to which the profits accrue by regulations (see Paragraph 190), such as purchase of hops, yeast, furniture; as sieves, cloths, &c.; and the hire of bakers. Ovens may be built or paid for by the Subsistence Department, but not bake-houses.

7. Mode of ascertaining the hospital ration: 100 complete rations consist of, say

32 rations of fresh beef, is 40 lbs. at 4 cents

Cost.
