of troops and in caring for those who
are wounded.
But the responsibility for keeping
yourself in good health can not rest
wholly upon your officers. Just as in
civil life, you are expected to use
reasonable amount of good sense in
looking after yourself. You will do
this partly because it adds to your
own comfort and partly because it is
duty that every soldier owes to the
country.
You will have plenty of fresh air,
exercise and good food, which are af-
ter all, the chief essentials of good
health 1t should be comparatively
easy thing for you to look after the
smaller things.
Semi-weekly herald., 1917-08-20

For this reason the daily ''po-
Icing Tor cleaning up) of the camp
is matter of first importance. You
viii be required to keep your con
pany street free from even small oh
jects, bits of food, and the like,
which might attract flies or other in
sects. At least once day a squad
will be detailed to inspect and clean
every square foot of space in or neal
your living quarters. This is a duty
which an experienced soldier usually
performs with more interest and
thoroness than the raw recruit; fol
he more clearly realizes its import
ance.
The best safeguards against disease
either in the army or out of it, are
soap and sunshine. You will be re
quired to keep everything in the camp
well scrubbed and well aired. If il
we're not required. you would doubt
less be anxious to do it anyway.
The good soldier is almost "fussy"
in the care of his person, his cloth
lng, his bedding and other belong
ings. Personal cleanliness includes
using your own linen, toilet articles,
cup and mess kit. Many annoying
skin troubles and such diseases as
cold and infectious fevers are often
passed from one person to others by
using articles in common.
In the training camp there will
be plenty of shower baths and YOU
will, of course, make free use of
them. If in temporary camps or at
any other times you cannot obtain
a bath, give yourself good stiff rub
with dry towel. Twice a week or
oftener if necessary, your shirts,
drawers and socks should be washed
and fresh underclothes put on. In
case it is. necessary to sleep in your
underwear, as it probably will be, put
one aside to wear at night, so that
you will always feel fresh and clean
in the morning.
The scalp should be thoroly clean
ed about as frequently as the rest of
the body. This will be made easier
if you keep your hair cut short.
The teeth should be brushed at
least once day; twice day is bet
ter. Neglecting this practice will
cause decay of the teeth, resulting
in failure to chew food properly and
thoroly and ending in stomach troub-
lie.
Cleanliness includes also the prac-
tice of emptying your bowels at least
once day. Get into the habit of
doing this at certain time each
morning. 1t is a habit that can be
cultivated, just like any other habit.
Do not let little personal inconven-
ience or laziness stand in the way.
The medical corps of the army and
your own officers will use every
means within their power to safe
guard and improve your general
health. Within recent years better
methods of medical supervision have
greatly reduced the losses and the
disabilities due to warfare.
The increase in power of weapons
has been more than met by increased
efficiency in maintaining the health

CLEANLINESS IN CAMP.

When large numbers of men
are assembled in camp it is necessary
for the good of all that strict rules
of personal conduct and sanitation
should be enforced. These rules are
by no means hardship. They are
a protection. By insisting on strict
obedience to these rules, the diseases
which once took so heavy a toll in
nearly all military camps have been
brought under control; some have
been practically eliminated.
Suppose you We're asked to make a
choice: either to live under condi-
tions in which small pox, typhoid
fever, diarrheoa, dysentery and chol-
rca foarish; or live under rcgu-
lat,ons,, which make these diseases
far more of a rarity in military than
in civil life. Your good sense would
lead you to choose the latter. Bear
this in mind See to it that you CO.
operate with enthusiasm in the meas
ures that VIII be taken to keep your
camps clean, comfortable and health
full.
One of the pests of camp life, if
perfect cleanliness is not observed, is
the presence of swarms of flies.
Flies are not merely annoying. They
are dangerous. Somebody has said,
with pc laps slight exagger ltiol
that TO soldiers they are more dan
gerous than bullets. This is because
flies carry disease germs. They feed
on manure, garbage, uncovered food,
human excreta and the like. They
also lay their eggs wherever refuse
of the same kind is found. The best
way to keep flies away from camps
is to destroy the places where they
breed and feed; in other words, keep
the camp spotlessly clean.
