plain army maneuvers. Yet the soldiers
handled themselves like veterans / was
particularly pleased with the efficiency and
field marching of the troops. They have
had little training for this feature of the
work, as their time has been devoted almost
entirely to learning the technical side of
modern warfare. They certainly did
bfavely."
Accompanying General Sibert were his
stan and some French officers All were
enthusiastic over the splendid showing made
by the Americans.
The review showed that the military ap-
pearance of the men has improved greatly
since they landed on French soil Their
hearing spoke volumes for the intensive
training they have undergone since arriving
here. They marched like the finished prod
uct instead of raw material
Part of the line OF march led through
villages, and the French swarmed to the

Dear Madam--wnl you kindly give rorns me

"'h' anu GMrs.j JAS, A. tst. DavIds).
II am giving you two recipes for the Wild
sherry wine, one with brandy and one with

Cherry Wine-Stem and wash the cher-
ries, then crush them to pulp with
wooden mallet After all the Juice has been
pressed out add to each quart of 1t one-haif
pound Of granulated sugar and one cupful
of water; stir well. pour into a crock. cover
closely with a thickness Of cheesecloth and
allow to ferment for a month. When fer
mentation has stopped rack off and bottle.
The second recipe calls for two quarts of
sugar to FIVE quarts Of cherries turned into
n crock and allowed to stand for twenty
four hours at the end of which time five
cupfuls of brandy should be stirred into the
mixture. Let 1t stand for six weeks, stir
ring occasionally. then strain off through
cheesecloth, bottle and seal.
Elderberry Wine-For this the berries
should be gathered when quite ripe and on
q dry day; pick them off the Stems and
bruise them with your hands !; strain the
Juice and let II stand In glazed pans for
twelve hours to settle thoroughly To every
mint Of Juice allow one and one-half pnts

Perhaps the most important of these rules
is to use no alcohol of any kind

ing immoderately, cut down; get your wind
your nerves and your digestion into tht
best possible condition Ri
Eat and drink moderately Chew youf
food well. 1t Is advisable however. I'd
drink a great deal of cool mot cold water
between meals. Don't eat between meals,
Keep away from soda fountains and sof,
drink stands. Learn to enjoy simple nour.
ishing food.
Accustom yourself to regular hours for
sleeping, eating and the morning func-
tions.
Don't take last fling" 1t may land
you in the hospital. At the best, it will
probably bring you into camp in an unfit
condition to take up your new duties with
Gus days ahead of you, and it will be good
sense on your part to make reasonable
preparation for them.
You will find nothing required of you In
the army that is beyond the powers Of the
everyday American. You will see clearly
ahead of you. after you have read this
course, the path which you are to follow.
Look forward with confidence. Enter the
service with the firm determination Of
doing your best at all times, of playing
square with your superiors, your associ-
ates and yourself and of taking care al
ways of your assigned duties whatever
may happen.
You will find that every one else win
treat you with courtesy and fairness-for
that is the infiexble rule of the army Out
of that rule grows the comradeship and the
attractiveness, even in the face of all
dangers and hardships, that are character.
