HOW TO RETAIN vIGOR.
How the Senior Service Corps
 Trains.

In the national House of Repre- sentatives the other day Mr. Tilson of Connecticut told how they have organized in his home town, New Haven, the Senior Service Corps" of men past i5 years anxious to be of service. In training them it is recognized that it is unscientilic and economically wasteful to treat men of i5 years in the same way as men of military age.
