[RC] old military training tip - karen coombes

I was watching an interesting documentary on the military with my husband the other night and this caught my ear… “When marching long periods try putting a pebble in your mouth.  It will keep the mouth moist and reduce thirst”.  It was form an old (WWI I think) military training manual.  Anybody heard of this or know if it works?  If so, and to keep this endurance related, it could be useful info if you ever run out of water and get lost on a desert ride.
