GYMNASTICS In The ARMY
Major General Merritt'S Circular
Prescribing Uniform Exercises.
Strongly Discourages Cold Baths, and
Suggests the Use of the Sponge.
His Directions.

Major Gen. Merritt has issued n cir
cular to the Department of the Missouri
directing a thorough course of military
gymnastics at the posts of his command
during the next four months and prescrib-
ing conditions to secure uniformity in the
exercises.
In addition to the regular drills. q
course of light work with dumb be lis,
bar-bells, jumping, vaulting, running
equipped, and athletic competitions are
recommended. Abdominal breathing is to
be taught, commencing with half-minute
runs each day without accouterments, and
gradually adding the rifle and pack until
the men may pass obstacles, such as
bitches aud fences, fully equipped for SER
vice over loug distances. Regarding aths,
the general says:
Gold baths, after exercises, cannot be
too strongly discouraged; tub baths, too,
should not lac recommended, they take too
much time, and the number of men who can
Dathe at one time is necessarily limited.
What IS more they do II OF anSwerthe require
III ents.
"A bath after exercises should not have a
debilitating effect. The drain on the sys-
TEN during the exercises is great enough,
and what's wantedis a bath that once frees
The tody from the impurities Which the
increased circulation has forced to the sur
face, and acts as tonic and a stiinulant.
From my own personal experience, l
know of but one bath that will do this
Il bath that Will brace up so to speak, a
man, even though he has exercised to ex-
cess. Such bath is the sponge bath. This
batI. should he taken as follows: When the
men come from a gymnastic drill they
should lie taken to suitable apartment,
warm: each man should be supplied ith an
ordinary basin, sponge and two towels;
In this room there should be two large
bath tubs, one filled with tepid and the
other with cooler water, the temperature
of the latter being from to degrees
colder than the temperature of the rooin-
say from 6S to { q degrees.
The men should strip quickly and wash
the body with the tepid water from the
shoulders down; follow this by washing
quickly with the cool water, and dry with
an absorbent towel following this with a
course towel. rubbing the body until the
Skin glows. The warm water loosens and
washes off the impurities, while the cool
water acts as a tonic and exhilarant."
