LESSON NO. 6
CLEANLINESS IN CAMP

preceding Lessons: /. Your Post OF
Honor. 2. Making Good as Sol
der. 3. Nine Qualities of Soldier.
4. Getting Ready for Camp. 5. First
Days in Camp
When large numbers of men are
assembled in camp it is necessary for
the good of all that strict rules of
personal conduct and sanitation
should be enforced. These rules are
by no means hardsip. They are a
protection. BY insisting on strict
obedience to these rules, the diseases
which once took so heavy q toll in
nearly all military camps have been
brought under CONTROL some have
been practically eliminated.
Suppose you were asked to make a
choice: either to live under conditions
in which small poX, typhoid fever,
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera -four
ish; or to live under strict regula-
tons. which make these diseases far
more of a rarity in military than In
civil life. Your good sense would
lead you to choose the latter. Bear
this In mind. See to it that you CO.
operate with enthusiasm in the meas
ures that will be taken to keep your
camps clean, comfortable and health
full.
One of the pests of camp life, II
perfect cleanliness Is not observed
Is the presence of swarms of flies.
Flies are not merely annoying. They
are dangerous. Somebody has said,
with perhaps a slight exaggeratlon,
that to soldiers they are more dan
gerous than bullets. This Is because
flies carry disease germs. They feed
on manure, garbage, uncovered food,
human excreta and the like. They al
so lay their eggs wherever refuse Of
the same kind is found. The best way
to keep flies away from camps is to
destroy the places where they breed
and feed; in other words, keep the
camp spotlessly clean.
For this reason the daily policing"
Tor cleaning up) of the camp Is mat
ter of first Importance. You will be
required to keep your company street
free from even small objects, bits of
food, and the like, which might at
tract flies or other insects. At least
once day squad will be detailed
to inspect and clean every square foot
of space in or near your living quar-
ters. This is duty which an expert
enced soldier usually performs with
more interest and thoroughness than
the raw recruit; for he more clearly
realizes the Importance.
The best safeguards against dis
ease, either in the army or out of it,
are soap and sunshine. You will be
required to keep everything in the
camp well scrubbed and well aired. If
it were not required, you would
doubtless be anxious to do it, anyway.

MOWER PARK CAMPMEETING

Mower Park, August 16, 1917-The
campmeeting here is increasing in in
terest and attendance. Last Sunday
was a great day. The people began
coming early and soon the congrega-
ton was swelled to vast number It
was pleasure to see former friends
and the religious services were of the
highest order. Mention must be made
of the beautiful solos rendered SO i'm
pressively by Miss Clara Leedy Of
Grayson. The Gospel song has its ef-
fects as well as the Gospel preached
and the song service Is adding much
to the meeting. The congregations
during the week are good, but we are
looking forward to next Sunday, che
last day of the camp, as the greatest
day of all Besides the present work
ers in the camp, Hon. W. d. Cochran
of Maysville will speak Sunday after
noon IN the interest Of the Red Cross
work. At this time when our country
is plunging into this horrible war this
is subject that should appeal to ev-
eryone, for those who remain at home
should be interested in the boys WAC
have gone to defend our flag. Mrs.
Barry Of Covington will be here Sun
day to assist in the music. Rev. e. P.
Hall Of Covington will be the preacher
for next Sunday. We will appreciate
the presence of all at any of the SER
vices.
