"rAKE KEER OF YOURSELF,

Much advice is being given to the young
men who are going into the volunteer army.
Unfortunately advice. except that which is
given professionally. has no market value
If it had all would be millionaires. The
best advice which can be given to the de-

in a son who went to the war. The father
was q silent man. but when his son left him
for the war he said to him in a low voice:
''Well, goodbye, jim; take keer of your
self"
Take keer of yourself would be the

be needed. Most men will. with discipline
acquit themselves well in battle if officers
set the example. In the war of the rebellion
two men in the fullness of life died of dis
ease where che died in battle or of wounds

with wounded men. but they were always

victims of the war were men who left the
service with some disease laying siege to

The Battery A boys were a discouraged
lot after the first surgeons got through
with them yesterday morning. but in the
afternoon the men were given another
chance, and as result there was a much
better showing. In a. stall at one end OF
the stable which is included in the artil-

battery Bert b. Adams and Lieutenant
Garrard, with clerk who took notes as
the surgeons called out the measurements

dlanapolls, assstapt surgeon of the Fourth
regiment, and Maj. j. j. Kyle, of Marion
surgeon of the Fourth, did the work for
captain Curtis's men in the afternoon.
They were strict. but not unreasonable in
