We make life easy our habits or we make it
hard.
"Our nervous system grows to the modes in which
it is exercised" is the scientific explanation of habit
Some of us exercise nervous system to our ad-
vantage For example, have good habits of putting
on our clothes neatly quickly and without thought
And some of us have bad habits of temper or of worry
ing or overeatng.
We seldom recognize the power of any habit until
it is formed And the great trouble is that we slip into
habits good and bad drift into them, or slump into
them without thought
But they are none the less binding because we have
not intended to make them and it is the less hard
to break them.
What the new soldier in training suffers from most
is not the change in bis food and collars, but the max
ing of the habits of his body to suit his new pro-
fession. The walking habits of the soldier are often
bad and takes months of training to replace them
with the fine easy marching habits of the regular army
man.
Many human habits are being made over by the
war; and there is why the soldier boy should
receive all of the discipline and benefit.
Once in while it is good plan for all of US to
take stock of our peculiar assortment of habits-and
then to treat them ales-or enemies

The War Department has taken
elaborate and comprehensive precau-
tons to prevent waste in the army
cantonments, which will soon contain
more than 100000 men. and in the
embarkation camps. In the feeding
OF the men waste will be minimized
through the fact that the food will
be prepared under the direction OF
mess cooks, who will be trained by
special courses in army cooking
schools.
The officers training camps have
not been under the control Of the
supplies are concerned. and the waste
in those camps has been due to the
lack of skilled management in the
handling of food. A committee repre-
senting the War Department and the
