LESSON NO. 4.
GETTING READY FOR CAMP.

GETTING READY FOR CAMP. (Preceding Lessons: 1. Your Post
 of Honor. ?. Making Good as a
 Soldier. 8. Nine SOldierly Quail
 tieS.)
 Your real training for your duties as a soldier will begin after you and your comrades are assembled at the training camps. However, there are few simple things you can do dur ing the next few weeks which will be of decided value in getting you start ed along the right lines.
 The simplest thing, and perhaps the most useful of all, is to begin at once to practice correct habits of standing and walking. Even in civilian life a mans reputation in his community yes, and for that matter his own self-reSpect-is determined to a sur prising extent by his bearing. The man who SloucheS feels like a slouch. The man who holds his head up faces the world with confidence and cour- age.
 If this is true in civilian life, it is ten times more true in military life. For soldier must always be strongly marked by his snap, his precision, and his vigor. He can not have these traits unless he carries himself like sol dier.
 The Bearing of Soldier
 Few people without military train ing have a correct idea of what is meant by the position and the bearing of soldier. They are apt to imagine that it means a strut or an extremely strained attitude. Or, more frequent ly, they think that the term can prop erly be applied to any erect position The truth of the case, however, Is that there is definite procedure to follow in order to place yourself in what is known in the army as "the position of a soldier" it is in the position which the diSmounted soldier always assumes at the command Attention, :" except as it may be slightly modified to enable him to carry properly any arms he may have in his hands.
 It will be well for you to memorize paragraph 51 of the Infantry Drill Regulations, which gives the complete and accurate description of the posi- tion of the soldier. This paragraph is slightly paraphrased and simphfed in the description following: Keep in mind that there are ten elements which must be properly adjusted to each other, and check yourself up to see that each one of them is properly placed.
 1. Heels-on the same line and as near each other as possible; most men should be able to stand with heels touching each other.
 2. Feet-turned out equally and forming an angle of about 45 degrees.
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-08-23

8. Knees-straight without stiff ness.
 4. Hips-level and drawn back slightly; body erect and resting equal ! ly on hips.
 ,. Chest-lifted and arched. ! 6. ShOulders-square and falling equally.
 :. Arms-hanging naturally.
 &. Hands-hanging naturally, the thumb along the seam of the trous- CTS
 9. Head-erect and squarely to front; chin drawn in so that axis CT head and neck is vertical (means that a straight line drawn through the cen ter of head and neck should be yer ticaD eyes straight to the front.
 10. Entire body-weight of body resting equally upon the heels and balls of the feet.
 Note especially that you are not re- ouired to stand in a strained attitude. You are to be alert but not tense.
 One of the very best things you can do today is to spend fifteen minutes practising this position, getting it right. Keep this up every day until you report at camp. In the army, as in every day life, first impressions are important. The first impressions you make on your officers and fellows will depend, more than you probably realize, on the manner in which you stand and walk.
 Making Yourself "Fit"
 If you can devote part of your time between now and the opening of camp to physical exercise you are fortunate and should by all means take advan- tage of every opportunity. Climbing, jumping, gymnastic exercises, all kinds of competitive games, swim mining, rowing, boxing, wrestling, and running are all recommended as eX- cellent methods of developing the skill, strength, endurance, grace, courage and self-reliance that every soldier needs.
 There are some simple rules of eat ing and living which all of us should follow regularly. They will be espe- cially helpful to you if you put them into practice in preparing for camp life.
 Perhaps the most important of these rules is to use no alcohol of any kind.
 If you have been in the habit of smoking immoderately, cut down; get your wind, your nerves and your di- gestion into the best possible condi- tion.
 Eat and drink moderately. Chew your food we'll. It is advisable, how ever, to drink great deal of cool (not cold) water between meals. Don't eat between meals.
 Keep away from soda fountains and soft drink stands. Learn to enjoy simple, nourishing food.

WOMEN DOING MEMS WORK.

One of the most striking results of the great war in Europe, is the extent to which women gre doing the work of men. 7 Travellers to England and France report that practically every able-bodied man is in uniform and women by the thousands are engaged in doing mems work-acting as con, ductors and drivers on the cars and doing all sorts of heavy work besides.
 This shows unexpected sposslblii- ties in what has been mistakenly call ed the weaker sex. Women are sub feet to ailments which men do not have. and when so ailing become weak, helpless sufferere. But remedy has been found. For fifty years, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been making such women well and strong, and as able to do work as any other woman.-AdV. <:

KILL COTTON TAX
 IN REVENUE MEASURE

Washington, May 21.-Two sharp contests during the consideration of the war revenue bill, resulted in Southern members killing the pro- posed tax of $2.50 bale on raw cotton and representatives of automobile manufacturing districts limiting the five per cent levee on automobiles, motorcycles and tires to plants pay ing annual profits above $5,OO0 and 8 per cent. on the capital invested.
 The victory of cotton forces. who won over Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, when his proposed amendment was stricken out on a point of order, was greeted joyously by those interested in sugar interests, particularly Representatives Forney of Michigan and Martin of Louisiana. Had the cotton proposal been held germane, the bill would have been open to an amendment carrying tax on sugar.

BRITISH HORSES ON RATIONs.

London, May 2I.-Bfltlsh horses are likely to feel their oats only by proxy, as result of new regulations put into effect today as part of the general program of food conservation. The regulations place all the horses in the United kingdom on rations. With the exception of horses used for war and agricultural work, or stallions used
 exclusively for stud purposes, and thoroughbred brood mares and foals, which are to be allowed a limited amount of grain, horses must be fed only on hay, straw, bran and dried brewers grains. Figures recently made public show that the cost of feedipx/a horse in London has doubled since the beginning of the war.
