side.
My doctor told me to use Cardui.

after my baby came, l was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.

Peter the Great and Lawyers.

In Russia during the reign Of Peter
the Great private litigants might have
their suits prosecuted free of cost by
lawyers paid by the state. The emperor,
discovering that his subjects were be-
ing imposed upon by their legal agents,
who cOntrived to delay trials until they
had sucked their clients dry, enacted
that sufficient solicitors and attorneys
should be employed at handsome year
ly salaries to officiate for the public
in every matter of law. He ordered
further that these men should insert
In register written up daily the dates
Of applications to them and should pro-
coed with the suits in the order in
which they were received without re-
spect of persons. If they failed to do
so, If they accepted any bride or fee
or If they were dilatory these lawyers
were to be knouted and sent to Siberia.

Markets of Paris.

The first markets of Paris were es-
tablished more than thousand years
ago in the Isle de la Cite. The booths
were hereditary property, and their de-
scent was generally from mother to
daughter who held them directly from
the monarch. During the stormy
times Of the revolution these market
women were conspicuous by their
qualities Of arm and tongue, both
grown strong by centuries of sturdy
exercise. These characteristics, how
ever, do not appear in their successors,
who trust to their cleVerness and CO
quettish charm to fight their battles.

PHYSICAL FITNESS

The third basic quality. physical fit
ness, is so essential that large part
of the time devoted to your training
will be spent in building it up. Phys
ical fitness includes not only muscular
development but good health and en-
durance as well. 1t is quality
which every man who passes the
physical examination can develop in
himself by reasonable care and by
obedience to instructions. This is a
subject more fully discussed in later

HOME-READING COURSE
FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS

to an armed mob. AS the Infantry
Drill Regulations put it, discipline is
"the Distinguishing mark of trained
troops"
Frequently the recruit, with his in
born dislike Of being bossed, makes
the mistake during his first few weeks
in the army of resenting the fact that
immediate and unquestioning obed-
fence is required of him. He quickly
learns, however, that obedience en-
forced throughout the army is in all
situations the chief safeguard of the
rights, the comfort and the safety of
every man, from the raw recruit to
the commanding general. 1t is
guarantee that the small number of
unruly or cowardly men to be found
in every group shall be kept in check
and forced to comply with rules made
for the benefit of all.
Military discipline is always imper-
sonal. Obedience is required not
merely of you, but of every man In
the army. 1t is required of officers
by their superiors with fully as much
strictness as it is required of you. 1t
will become your duty, whenever you
are given authority over other men,
to demand from them the same full
measure of obedience that others will
require of you.
Discipline is not only essential In
developing the army, but also in de-
yeloping your own character as a SOL
der. "The soldier who is by nature
brave, will by discipline become
