on the completion of his tour in this

cavalry, said:
81 rather expected to find men or
fine physique in your cavalry and was
surprised to find the reverse. They

They should be deprived of coffee

British cavalrymen, when In the
barracks, have a salt water bath every
day, which keeps them in perfect
physical condition.
plain diet, vigorous exercise, com.
bined with regular drill, are what
have made the British cavalrymen
superior to all other cavalrymen in
the world.
Your cavalry has not yet had a
hard campaign like the British war
to show their staying powers. | am
inclined to think that II the choice ev.
er comes their mode of life will tell
the tale in a long sick list.
Your cavalry horse cannot be
equalled. Probably so per cent of the
horses in the British cavalry are
American bred and they are capable
OF wearing out 5 per cent. OF their
riders in a two weeks ride. They are
especially good over rough and dry
roads.
Your cavalryman is more active,
both physically and mentally. than
the average British horseman, but |
think he lacks the staying powers. !

efficient in rank and file, as well as

that he was attired in his very best
apparel-in fact, dressed for all the
world as if he were going to an after
noon tea.
Seeing the ill-concealed look of as
tonishment of his friend, the man of
the frugal temperament said:
