HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK.

1t would be useless for the new soldier
to know the courtesles he must pay to
rank unless he knows how to distin-
guish such rank. He must know the
marking which designate the officer
and the noncommissioned officer, and
he must also know the general symbols
of the service.
The corporal, the lowest rank of
noncommissloned officer, wears Il pri-
Yates uniform, with chevrons on his
arm. A corporal's chevrons consist Of
two parallel stripes of cloth in the
shape of triangle without base,
with slightly curving sides. The chev-
rons, in the olive drab uniform, are
of q different shade of brown, while
on the blue army uniform they are Of
the color which distinguishes the cor
poral's particular branch of the serv-
Ice.
The sergeant, next in rank, wears
chevrons Of three stripes; while the
first sergeant, chief noncommissioned
officer of the company, wears chew
ron of three stripes, with n square in
the center.
The second lieutenant, in olive drab,
is marked by the difference between an
officers and private's uniform-that
Is, he wears leather or wool puttees,
instead of canvas lcggings; there Is
stripe of brown braid around the cuff
of his coat and he wears the officers
hatband snake-cord of black and
gold strands. The first lieutenant
wears one silver bar on each shoulder.
The captain has two silver bars on
each shoulder. The major has gold
leaf, the lieutenant colonel silver
leaf. The colonel is marked by n sill
yer eagle, and the brigadier general by
one silver star on each shoulder. The
major general (the highest rank at
present In our active service) is deSig-
mated by two silver stars.
The officers insignia presents
somewhat different appearance on
dress and full-dress uniforms, al
though the marks remain the same, but
as the new soldier who goes into
| camp now is likely to see nothing but
| the field-service uniform, it would be
confusing to burden his mind with q
| further description of officers shoulder
straps.
1t is essential, however, that he
should know the colors of at least the
| three great branches of the service
infantry, cavalry and artillery. The
infantryman in the field uniform wears
blue hat cord, which may be seen at
considerable distance; the cavalry
man wears yellow hat cord, and ar
tilleryman rcd. A troop of cavalry
rides with a guidon, a yellow flag, on
which the letter and regiment of the
particular unit appears in white. The
battery of artillery rides with red
guidon, similarly inscribed.

THE SOLDIER AND HIS COM.
RADES.

Ii the-new soldier, before joining the
colors, has had everything much his
own way at home, the first thing that
he will discover when he goes to camp
is that he counts for just one individ-
uul in his squad.
While in the family circle he may
have been 100 per cent important in
all matters relating to himself, in camp
he is simply one of eight men who oc-
cupy the same tent. Theoretically, the
new soldier may know that he should
obey officers and noncommissioned of
ficers, including the corporal who lives
in his tent; but what he may not real
lie is that in all questions not involv-
ing authority from above, he Is also
circumscribed by the rights and privi-
leges of others. The rights and con-
venience of others as well as his own
must be thoroughly fixed in his mind
1t must be process of giving and TAX
ing all down the line.
The ratio of the rights and conven-
fences of others to his own, in fact, is
about seven to one. Eliminating the
corporal, whose position in the tent is
official and paternal, the new soldier is
entitled to his share of the common
rights and privilcges-no more-and
must ungrudgingly perform his share
of the common worll-nO less.
If the new soldier fails to conform
to these rules of conduct, not only will
he be disciplined with odious flags and
details by the corporal, but he will find
that his terminates instinctively league
themselves against him. They watch

the history of women's apparel during
the great war. Something similar to
1t happened in England, not In France,
but the entire thing happened where
1t only could happen, in this tremen-
dously prosperous country.
The beginning of the war has been
written in chapters Of activity on this
side and fighting on the other side.
Literally, millions of women insisted
upon doing their bit. The drive Of the

extraordinary grouping together of va

THE SOLDIER ON THE MARCH.
If there are important reasons why
soldier in camp or in barracks should
infinitely more important when on the
march. For If O sick soldier is drain
on the regimental resources while In
camp, in the field, if he has to be car
ried in an ambulance, or sent back to
the hospital in the care of another SOL
der, he becomes an utter encum-
brance.
1t is for this reason that the phys
ical examinations are now so exacting,
in order to weed out all those predis-
posed to break down under marching
conditions. Yet it is not necessary for
Il man to be actually sick for him to
become n dead weight on a body of
troops. If he does not take care Of his
feet, he will become fully rs useless
One half-inch blister may, for march
ing purposes, turn a six-foot sadier
into an invalid.
In the first place, the shoes should
be fitted with special attention. They
should neither be too wide nor too
short. Sores and bllsters should be
promptly dressed during halt. AT
the end of the march the feet should
be bathed and dressed, and If prac-
ticable, the shoes should be changed.
A soldier should under no circum-
stances, however, go barefoot for his
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 swal-
low from his canteen, rinse out his
mouth and then eXpel the water, but
If he drinks outright-as he may do
freely at the end of the march-the
consequences are disastrous.
One National Guard regiment on the
Mexican border last year started upon
siX-milc march. The column WINS a
shining succession of uplifted can
teens. Before five miles had been COW
cred, 30 men were stretched out by the
roadside in collapse. Another Ma
tlonal Guard regiment, in which the
men drank without restraint on hot
march-even scooping up water from
puddles, lost approximately two hun
dred out of the column on that day.
A soldier should never sleep on the
ground. He should always have his
rubber poncho, or at least his blanket,
beneath him, and, whenever possible,
bed of straw or leaves beneath pom
cho or blanket. If the dampness Of
the soil entered his system, he would
contract cold and rheumatism and be-
come, as with all sick men, n heavy
drag upon his organization.
Just as it is essential, for the sake
of his health, that soldier keep scru-
pulously clean, so for the protection Of
the general health, a camp or barracks
must also be rendered immaculate. All
trash, even small pieces of paper,
should be swept from the floor of the
tent or quarters, or 'policed" from the
company street. For trash breeds In
sects and insects carry disease. All
pools and damp places near the camp
should be drained, so that mosquitoes
may have no place to multiply. For
this reason soldiers are supplied with
mosquito bars, as protection against
purveyors of fever All camp refuse

streets in checked cotton gown and
white shoes.
Now, the embargo on such costum-
cry Is lifted. The only one costume
which is comfortable and liz yet taboo
in city streets is the separate skirt
with the white shirtwalst There must
be a coat or wrap Of some kind to
cover the sharp juxtaposition of two
fabrics and two colors.
One of the great Western houses re-
ports that 1t has been necessary to
provide the greatest amount of frocks
and suits for war work for women dur
ng this summer than ever before. The
reason is the somersault In the sum-
mer regime. Women will not spend
their time these months of hot
weather as they have done for CEN
fury.

It is a good idea to vary the feed,

BITTER MILK A%VOIDABLE.

Both the quality and quantity Of a

physical fitness of the COWS as well as
on the nutrients in the feed. Bitter
milk or milk with a strong odor goth

FEEDING LITTLE CHICKS.

There are many complaints coming
from different sections of the country
about little chickens being anecteo
with white diarrhoea and DoWel
trouble. In most cases Wher these
troubles have been reported to me-
w things have been largely n cause
of same One is from feeding ON
cooked bread or soft feed, N the
ofher is either keeping the little chick
ems too hot or letting them get out In
the dampness too soon. Just so long
as anv one feeds cooked bread or SOFT
feed to their little chicks that are un-
der two weeks old they are likely TO
have this trouble at any moment. II
it not only expensive, but 1t is un-
healthy. 1t is almost impossible 10
get the bread cooked just exactly
right or to feed it in such a way that
the little chicks will consume all OF It.
Some will be left in the sand or litter
that will become moldy or soul n
when little chiks eat this you can ex-
pect them to die afterwards. This Is
one reason why dry feed is far SUI
peTior.
The many different varieties Of COM
merciaI chick feeds that are now plac-
eed on the market enables anyone 10
get this from almost any grocery store
or seed merchant. 1t is composed OF
suitable grains that are a balanced
ration for young chickens. 1t is by
far the cheapest thing you can feed
and there is no. excuse for people not
using it and starting their little chicks
off right. For at least two weeks the

every two or three hours. After they
pass this age they r practically safe.
Above all things they should have just
what they will est up clean out of a lit
tie pan or trough and not v the
floor with a lot of this feed like I have
seen in many places. 1t always means
a heavy death rate to your little chicks
and a waste of food besides.
At the end of ten days or two weeks
of the brood is doing nicely o can
begin feeding buttermilk starting food
or a mixture of two parts bran and
one part commercial meat scraps. This
bran should be kept before the little
chicks at all times. I had made for
this purpose some galvanized pans two
feet long two inches deep and eight
inches wide. I fill these with the feed
and have a piece of one-fourth inch
heavy mesh wire cut so as to fit just
inside the pan and place it on top of
the feed. This enables the little
chicks to pick it up thorugh the wire
and it is constantly before them. They
will not waste any in this way, and
many little chiks that are weak and do
not eat a sufficient quantity when the
bunch is fed can satisfy their appetites

This may be done by building a small

and putting milk in a small shallow
