The Camp at ChiCkamauga.
Sanitary Experts Say That the LOca-
tion Was Not Unhealthy.

At the time Of the Spanish war,
which seems much longer ago than It
Is, there was a great deal of talk about
the camp Of volunteers at Chicka-
manga, and the unhealthiness of the
lccality. Sanitary experts are now
confirming what sensible people said
at the time, that there was nothing the
matter with the place; the trouble was
caused by lack of discipline and lack
o. care in sanitary matters.
This episode would be hardly worth
discussing at this late day, but for It's
bearing on military discipline for
boys and young men in time of peace.
Every man who went through the war
with Spain, and every man who has
been through any other war, knows
that one of the most important ele-
ments of success for any army is the
understanding of sanitary precau-
tons, and the conviction among the
rank and file that discipline in such
matters is necessary, wise, and not to
be disregarded.
Whenever there IS talk Of general
military drill for school boys. or drill
and encampments for the militia.
there are always ioud-mouthed per-
sons who cry out against the danger
of military ideals in the hfe of the
nation. But there Is no danger what-
ever that common sense VIII involve US
il war, and as every sane man
knows that war IS at least a remote
possibility in the affairs IF this coun-
try, 1t IS nothing more tiian common
sense to prepare for it. It Is not
enough to build fo.ts and battleships;
the men Of the country must be ready.
This does not mean that all BOYS
and young men ms assume a blus-
tenng, braggadocio, chip-on-the-shoul-
der attitude, and 10 about with pis-
tols IN their hip pocket daring In
offensive people TO resent their over
bearing ways. The trle soldier IS not
that kind of man. But it does mean
that every youth should learn the
value Of discipline, self-reliance, and
attention to common laws Of health.
end such lessons are as valuable in
peace as in war, except for the fact
that life does not actually depend
upon them, as IL does in time of war.
Military drill IS Of very little value

THE DANGER IN DRINKING FAST

More than half the dyspepsia at

to gulp liquids hurriedly simply be-
cause they do not require masticatlon,
There is just as much harm in drink
ing milk hastily as in boiling a sand

Half the dyspepsia laid at the door
Of the quick lunch is traceable to the
manner in which a man drinks his
coffee. He enters a lunchroom and
orders a sandwich and a cup Of cof-
fee. He sets his cup of coffee on the
arm of his chair and proceeds to
MUNICH his sandwich while he reads a
paper. He takes plenty OF time to eat
his sandwich. In fact, he is proud OF
the manner in which he masticates 1t
while he looks over the late news He
has disposed Of the last vestige Of II

goes. He drinks the whole cup with
out drawing a breath, Then he won

1t Is the fault and the cause OF the
failure Of SO many bright, capable
young men that, being put into a GER
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out of it; they
do not seek the work that is not roli-
tine, and go beyond the terms Of the
bond in search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
of their employers. They do not go
to their posts before nor remain at
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no more
than enough, to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk Is generally
genteel, easy, clearly; he need not
soil his hands, nor his clothes, and
his ambition is satisfied with these
pleasant conditions. - Philadelphia

division said he could not take part II
the Presbyterian chaplain was to par

but reported to Kitchener, who sent
