DE-. GEORGE W. CABANISS.

DR.. Cabaniss was considered the

will be invaluable.

BUY THE THRIFT STAMPS"

The new thrift stamps" and
"war savings stamps are on sale.
1t is the beginning of new loan
drive in which every one can help.
The thrift stamps cost rs cents.
When Sixteen of them are pasted
on card the government will is
sue in exchange a war savings
stamp (Which may also be bought
direct) for which IL cents addi-
tional must be paid. Upon these
stamps interest is paid at a per
cent, compounded quarterly.
Thus persons of small means can
do their share toward helping the
country to win the war and at the
same invest their earnings safely
and prohtably. The scheme is an
admirable one from every point
of view. 1t reaches a class that
will not or cannot buy liberty
bonds, and it teaches the habit Of
saving in the most effective way.

THE RIGHT KIND OF FOOD.

Mothers sometimes get these
kinds of letters from their sons at
camp:
81 like everything all right ex-
cept the grub. It's not like the
kind which you used to cook"
Of course, the food provided
here is different from that served
at home. And don't you know if
you were given that home bill of
fare you wouldn't be able to per-
form your military duties as half
as we'll as you do now.
For this reason there isn't any
great variety of menu at the mess
halls, but what you eat is sub
stantial, wholesome and plentiful.
It is served not with the idea of
pleasing your fancy as to the num-
Der of dishes and the like, but to

COMPANIONSHIPS.

Every soldier in camp has
formed his friendships, created his
little circle of companions.
If he has not done so, then ne IS
missing one of the rarest oppor-
tunities that camp life offers. He
is doing an injustice to himself as
we'll as being deprived Of a pleas
ure the value of which cannot be
estimated in terms of figures or
words.
For what is more broadening
and enlightening than agreeable
companions?
A friend once made is friend
forever. Having gone through
trials, successes and reverses with
him, bond of brotherliness will
exist that cannot be severed by
mere conventional disagreements.
Get a friend, a real, true friend,
who will advise and comfort you,
who will cheer you up in disap-
pointment and failure.
All the advice in the world in
printed form will fail you in time
of need, for it lacks the humans
personal touch.
Be a friend to somebody and
have friends among your fellow
soldiers.

THE KICKER.

Each company has its quota OF
men who seem to find a great
deal of satisfaction in continually
kicking and growing about the
administration of a company.
They seem to think it is their
special privilege to find fault with
it's "non-coms,"s its officers, its
policies, also to find fault with post
administration and to kick about
orders in force, periods of drill
and everything that may enforce
the slightest bit of hardship on
them. ;. 60 ~
+: Nothing in Army life causes,
more discomfort among the, men
in the. service than the kicker. He
makes not only himself miserable,
but his comrades as well. He be-
comes disliked by the officers and
"non-coms," and is continually in
trouble.
After time when vacancy after
vacancy has been filled by other
men whom he. considers inferior
to himself, he begins to wonder
why he hasn't been advanced; and
kicks all the harder. Then, as a
|Hrule, he becomes bitter against his
superiors, sooner or later commits
himself and is tried by court
martial.
He doesn't succeed. He doesn't
enjoy the confidence of the other
men. He makes life almost unen-
durable for himself just because
he hasn't sense enough to realize
that Army regulations were COM
piled for the benefit of the Army
in general and not to suit the taste
of oyersensitive individuals.
The soldier when he enlists
must recognize and obey three
cardinal principles, "self-eontrol,
self-culture and self-sacri6ce."
If discipline exacts hardships, it
is his duty to submit manfully
without comment. If he doesn't
consider his immediate supeFiors
efficient, he should strive to attain
a degree of mental, physical and
moral efficiency in himself that
would overshadow this, If called
upon for sacrifice, he should give
| it without thought of his personal
welfare, because a soldier by his

oath has made solemn VOW to
sacrifice self on the altar Of his
country, wherever her law is to be
upheld, her honor to be defended
or hef existence secured. 1t is a
vow not to be taken lightly, for it
means many duties, responsible
ties, hardShips, privations, torture
or death itself.
It is therefore not consistent
with the oath of allegiance to be
continually finding fault.

DON'T GRUMBLE.

Do YOU remember the day you
were as sore as newly inoculated
arm? The day you paraded a face
as long as your first men trou-
sers and you were aching to get
into some kind of a scrap so that
you could take it out of some
body's hide?
You know-the day yoa asked.
for leave of absence and could
not get it because the list was
made up before they could get to
you, and they topped it off with
kitchen duty because SO few men
stayed in camp.
That was the day when you
didn't get even a postal from any
body-the day it seemed that
everything and everybody were
conspiring to make life miserable
for you.
Felt pretty blue, down-in-the-
mouth, didn't you?
Yet you should have felt cheer
ful-thankful, in fact.
Sounds foolish? Listen!
Anybody can be cheerful and
happy and singing when every
thing is just right.
But the man who can smile
when all is going wrong has
earned his right to existence. and
his place on the earth. He is big
ger than men or nations. He has
reached the top.
s. Ard he can smile because he
realizes that with every cloud
comes a silver lining, with every
rain the sunshine, with every
care a joy.
SO he has learned to be thankful
for all his ills, pains, adversities,
trials and tribulations. Because
each time he overcomes an OBJ
staele he has. less to overcome in
the fight to reach the top. The
sooner he has his troubles, the
less he has in store.
And that's the whole story.
If you want the worthwhile
things you have to fight for them.
If you want the gold you must
dig-if you want the pearls you
must dive. 80
You get nothing for nothing. 4
So you make up your mind, il
you want to get there, that you
have to cut your own way and
blaze your own trail. And while
you are cutting and blazing don't
grunble.
