A HAPPY EDIUM.

Every man in America, physically and mentally fit, between tho ages of z1 to 30.. inclusive. will be subject to the selective draft in the event the two houses of Congress concur in the de- clsion of the conferees on the Admin istration's Army Bill. Today thsse conferees reached ansasreement on the aforementioned age limit. By placing the minimum age at twenty-one and the maximum age 1t thirty. a happy medium has been struck In the first draft of the Administrators Army bill the age limit was fixed between 19 and 26. The senate Bill changed the figures, making the limit from 21 ,to IT. The House went another step :flrther and amended the bill 50 that tho TT limit was fxed between 21 and tfe ysira A the ags limit Is now sug- o1stedl sit h moro In keeping with, the idse ef the Administration. and. con- ia dSently. with the General Stan Of ,ths Army. Twsnty-one years is not too young for . soldier. thirty years is not too old. The two houses of Cbnsrsas VIII undoubtedly confirm this msasure.

 and become, as with all sick men. q heavy drag upon his organization. Just as 1t is essential, for the sake of his health, that a soldier keep scrupulously clean, so>for the protec- tion of the general health, a camp or barracks must also be rendered im-
 maculate. All trash, even small pieces of paper, should be swept from the floor of the tent or quarters, or "po-' Heed" from the company street. For trash breeds insects, and insects carry disease. All pools and damp places near the camp should be drained. 90 that mosquitoes may have no place 70 multiply. For this reason. soldiers arc

 If there are important reasons why . soldier in camp or in barracks should look to his health, these rea- udph are Infinitely moro important when on the march. For If 2 sick soIdfer Is . drain on the resimental resources while In camp. in the field if he has to be carried in an ambn- lance. or sent back to the hospdtsl in the care of anothsr soldier. he De- comes an utter encum bxante.
 It is for this reason that tho physf- cal examinations arc now SC exactang. in order to weed out all those predts- posed to break down under marching conditions. Yet 1t h not necessary for . manNto be actually sick for him to become dead weight on . body of troops. If he does not take care of his feet, he will become fully as use- less. Ono half-inch blister may. for marching purposes, turn a six-foot soldier into an invalid.
 Tn the first place, the shoes should be fitted with special attention. They should neither he too wide nor too short. Sores and blisters should be promptly dressed during halt. At the end of the march the feet should be bathed and dressed. and. If prac- ticable, the ehoes should be changed. A soldier should under no circum- stances. however, so barefoot, for hia feet would swell and give him in- creased difficulty as soon as he starts to march again.
 One of the points which cannot be emphasized too strongly is that water should not be drunk on the march. A soldier may take an occasional swallow from his canteen, rinse out his mouth and then expel the water, but if he drinks outrightasf he may do freely at the end of the mArch- the consequences are disastrous.
