Looping script with variables

If I have a file with a bunch of various numbers in one column, how can I make a script to take each number in the file and put in into a command line?
Example:

cat number_file
2
5
8
11
13
34
55

I need a loop to extract each of these numbers and put them into a command line interface and then end the loop. /bin/CLI "Some_Command XX"
were XX is each number in the number_file.

I hope this will help you. Change it according to the command you want to execute.

Code:
[mkandas]$ cat num_file
10
1
34
122
67
1
[mkandas]$ cat p1.sh
echo $1
[mkandas]$ cat loop_script.sh
#!/bin/ksh
for i in `cat num_file`
do
#echo "/bin/CLI Some_Command " $i
ksh p1.sh $i
done
[mkandas]$ ksh loop_script.sh
10
1
34
122
67
1
[mkandas]$
