What is the most important attrib
ute of q soldier

What is the most important attrib-
ute of a soldier
Good feet?
No.
Good eyesight?
No.
Good brains?
No.
What then?
Good teeth.
A soldier may have good feet, good
eyesight, and good brains but if he
has bad teeth, he can't eat. If he
can't eat he can't march near enough
TO the enemy to see him and use his
brains to fight him.
How does a soldier get good teeth?
BY having good teeth in childhood.
How do children keep good teeth?
Through being taught by their moth
er how to keep their teeth clean and
their teeth looked after while
they are growing. This makes good
teeth for futre soldiers.
1t would seem then as though the
first patriotic duty of a mother was
to keep her children's teeth in good
condition. 1t is!
