What profteth a man that he

Naturalists say that long ago
the prehistoric waters were in
tested with a species of enormous
shark which finally became ex-
tinct by reason of the workings of
it's voracious appetite. Thus Ma
ture eliminates the overfed.
The desire for ease of life and
plentiful diet is universal and is
the great stimulus of man and ami
mails alike. When man becomes

decreed a draw. We were told,
though, that neither side had car
ried out what the should have |
done, but just the same we learn
ed something new, as one result OF
the hike.
We all pitched tents between
two great mountains which were
about three thousand feet high.
After supper, about five p. M, a
bunch of us decided to walk to the
top of the highest mountain. The
adventures were Landon Smart,
Stan Loomis, "Toady" Ferguson,
Alec Crothers, Butch" Riley, Cy
Price, and myself. 1t was GER
tainly some climb. Needless to
say we never reached the top but
we got within two hundred feet of
it where we took some pictures.
We surely were up in the air. One
of the fellows thought he would
be getting ahead of the rest by
scaling a very high and treacher-
Gus rock. He got up one hundred
feet and then found he couldn't
get down. He discarded shoes
and leggins and after hear-in-
the-mouth scare managed to slide
down somehow. Upon reaching
solid earth he was heard to say,
"Never again." He meant it too

the modern man is apt to fG,get
that unless he is careful of his
body he will soon be made to suf-
fer for the infraction of Natures
memorable physical law. With the
loss in body tone comes an equal
loss in mental acuity and the
brain which for a time was able
to operate despite the complaints
of an over-fed, under-exercised,
self-poisoned body, stops working.
Statisticians have discovered
that the mortality rate of persons |
in the United States over As years
Of age is increasing. The strenu-
Gus life of today is not alone re-
sponsible for this. Lack of
health-giving exercise, superflu-
ity of diet, lack of restoring sleep,
over-stimulation, the high press
ure of the race for power, wealth
and position, plus physical ne
glect,-these bring early decay.
The goal is rcached,-wealth is
amassed, -honor, position, and
powe; are just being grasped
when the accomplishment turns to
the ashes of dissolution. The
brilliant mind becomes clouded,
the steady hand is no longer ac-
curate, the eye which once gazed
fearlessly on the whole world is
dimmed and it is not long before
the final breakup occurs. All Of
this was entirely preventable.
Other things being equal it is
the man who leads the well-bal-
anced life who lasts the longest,
whose work to the end is uniform
ly the best, he who neither over
works nor over-plays, neither
over-eats, over-drinks, nor over
sleeps, he who maintains stand
, ard of simple healthy diet in mod
Grafton, who offsets mental work
: with physical recreation, who is
: honest with his own body as he is
= with his own business. When sue
cess comes to such an one his ply
= steal and mental condition is suct
: that he can enjoy in peace o
y mind and contentment of body tn
n fruits of his labors.

Next morning both Battalions
broke camp at $40 a. m. and
started for "home." 1t was easy
hiking for about five miles down
hill, until the sun had gotten up.
After this it was pretty tough.
After about five halts we arrived
in Camp Deming at exactly 1915
p. m.-twenty miles in six hours,
counting time for halts. Pretty
good we all thought.
All hands got paid at p. m. the
next day, Friday. Many soon for
got their sore feet and blisters by
confiding in John Barleycorn.
They appeared to want to forget
their troubles. Some did and
some didn't. AS a result the guard
house has had quite few visitors
since then. In order to get out of
camp now we all have to get pass
es signed by the major. All are
divided into three classes accord
ing to the previous conduct of the
men. Those of the first class get
a permanent pass, those of the
second, one now and then; and
the third, none at all. Most of us
in Company E, l am glad to say
are in the first class. They made
this ruling so that it would not be
necessary to punish all because OF
the misdoings of some others.

The boys of Company. E, en-
camped at Deming, New Mexico,
had some hike the other day. we
left on Tuesday, September 9th,
for the Florida Mountains, about
twenty miles southeast of camp
toward Columbus. We made thlr-
teen miles the first day and pitch
ed shelter tents out on the prairie
among plenty of sagebrush, cac-
tus, and other prairie plants, also
among some animals. We broke
camp the next morning and con-
tinued our journey.
The First Battalion had left the
morning before. They were sup
posed to be our enemy, encamped
at the foot of the Floridas, at
place known as Capitol Park

to maneuver up to them and then
try to take their position by OBJ
