Grandmother shudders, mother weeps,
father oyerenthuses, but actually few
In the family or out Of 1t have any
thing more than a vague, scrambled
idea Of the provisions Of camp life ana
the care that "our boy Is given In his
making Of a soldier.
And fl's "our boy who means the
army to each of US. Then how Is 1t
with him?
Come out to one camp, somewhere
in America" where 1,94S men are tent
ed on good sweep of ground, studded
with the glowing green Of picturesque
cypress trees. The regiment occupies
space 345 yards long by $50 yards.
In every detail the camp illustrates
the science of individual development
which makes the soldier and the man
and, in his sum total, the army and the
nations morale.
II seems almost model, yet II is not
too model to be real. The plan is the
plan followed by all camp establish
ments. On one side of clean line OF
road are headquarters and officers
tents, on the other the company streets
of long. compact rows of khaki tents.
Clear cut bitches give perfect drain
age. At the head of each street, fac
ing the road, are brick ovens. freshly
whitewashed. and utensils for all trash
and fly traps. Beyond is the screened
mess hall, the front Of which is
separately screened kitchen for cook
ranges and the pantries.
Garbage Burned.
The garbage is burned in the ineiner-
ators, which destroy as well all liquid
refuse of a meal. Not scrap Of food
waste is allowed to breed disease. Fly
traps do their work. At night men
with torches burn the flies off the mess
hall screens. The sleeping tents are
screened, and the men are provided
with mosquito bars.
No flies; no mosquitoes.
There is daily sick call. Men do
not wait to go to camp hospital when
they are really ready to go to bed. The
fellow who is simply not feeling well'
must report and receive medical atten-
ton.
The whole system of camp life, of
army regulation, demands personal hy-
giene.
The army is ahead of the city, ahead
of the community, ahead OF the home,
In it's development of health and indi-
vidual efficiency.
That Is the first broad lesson which
q survey of the modern camp teaches
Take the rookie" out of any little
old town or city street. He goes to
camp with probably no idea of system
in his daily outlook. no idea OF physi-
cal fitness or the fneness that must
come to him individually from strength
OF discipline that has behind it the
idea of a nation. The care OF his
teeth. his person, his general develop
ment, has been casual Now 1t is OBJ
ligatory. He plays at certain hours.
he works at certain hours, sleeps and
eats to rule
Yet he does not feel hammered into
a mass.
He Is hammered out OF a mass, ham,
mered out into FURNISHED, strong, clear
lines OF the individual
II he has the same lusty strength as
the chap next him. the same spirit and
unconscious courage, he Is blessedly
unconscious of similitude He Is only
conscious. as the big days of overcom-
ing, OF getting up TO standard. OF fit
ting his own place-as these big days

An absentminded professor rang the

GLASS OF SALTS If
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
or Have Bladder Trou-
BILE

Meat forms uric acid, which cxcites
and overworks the kidneys in their cf-
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging you
to get up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few DAYS, and your kidneys will then act
fine and bladder disorders disappear. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
harmless, and makes a de-
lightful. effervescent, lithia- water drink,
which millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.--Adv,

DOES RHEUMATISM
BOTHER YOU?
Many Doctors Use Musterole

So many sufferers have found relief
in Musterole that you ought to buy a
small jar and try ii.
just spread it on with the fingers. Rub
it in. First you feel a gentle glow, then
a delicious, cooling comfort. Musterole
routs the twinges, loosens up stiffened
joints and muscles.
Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. 1t penetrates
to the seat of pain and drives it away,
but does not blister the tenderest skin.
1t takes the place of the mussy, old
fashioned mustard plaster.
Musteroie is recommended for bron-
chitis, Group. asthma, pleurisy, lumbago,
neuralgia, sprains, bruises, stiff neck,
headache and colds of the chest (it often
prevents pneumonia).
