they could have had before. Do you

five months of intensive training on

The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: swell,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has discouraged look; he has seen
but little Of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he Joined the army. This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation so
much good In so short a time as a few
months Of intensive military training.
1t fits a man to fight his own life bat
ties In the business world as we'll as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t is cpm-
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
1t is the duty Of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war Is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
rs great as it is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. By this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is stronger and
better man for the training.
