Cleanliness.

Cleanliness is important every
whore, but most of all in the army
where large bodies of men are brought
together In its true sense, it in
clades not only keeping your body
clean, but also your mind and your
actions. Fortunately, it is virtue in
which Americans generally rank high.
There should be little difficulty in set

There is plenty OF need for intelligence

army will be forced to absorb within
a few months q training which would
ordinarily extend over a period Of
two or three years Those who in

should study thoroly the manuals and
the drill regulations which affect their

something about map.making and
mapreading, the construction Of field

may now possess will surely be use

Setf-reliance.


Sollrelance is characteristic of tho
American, whether he is serving as a
soldier or in some civil occupation
Much the same quality is sometimes
referred to as initiative" 1t is d
quality needed more than ever before
in prescnt-day warfare Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, in his introduc,
ton to the Field Service Regulations
of the United States Army, says:
Officers and men Of all ranks and
grades are given certain independ.
onCc in the execution of the tasks to
which they are assigned and are ex
peCed to show initiative in meeting
the different situations as they arrive
Every individual, from the highest
commander to the lowest priypte

Making Yourself Stronger.
The nine qualities which have just
been reviewed are those which every.
one of MS would like 10 have for him
self They are the essentials Of 'yir
lie and successful manhood whether
in the army OF out OF it. Even the
moral Weakling and the Stacker in
their hearts admire these qualities
Doubtless you have developed some
of hem already perhaps all of them
to a greater or less extent. Many a
man has discovered, when put to the
test that he possessed these qualities
without having himself realized II
But under civilian conditions it is not
easy to cultivate all of them.
In the army you will have your op.
poltunity in few months Of training
to strengthen these qualities in your
self. In so doing you will learn to
control yourself, to take care of your.
self under all conditions. to meet
hardship and danger unhinchlngly. to
be fearless and setreliant. At the
end Of these few months of training
you will have gained immensely in
vigor and in strength
