Plea for EnIIstinq.

No man who will look carefully
into the work OF the army of the navy

either branch of our military service
is one to which any man may give
himself with the fullest devotion and
with the highest ideals Americans.
as a rule, know little about the actual
work of either of these services, and
few realize that when a man enters
the service of the army or of the
navy whether as officer or as enlist
ed man, he enters a great school, a
school in which is taught not only the
discipline of self-restraint, of cleanli-
ness, of devotion to duty, but in
of an education, says H. S. Pritchett.

deaths from snake bite But it is
admitted that the statistics are kept

This sort Of thing has gone on indef-
