If YOU can devote part of your time
between now and the opening of camp
to physical exercise you are fortunate,
and should by all means take adyan-
jumping. gymnastic exercises. all kinds
of competitive games, swimming, row.
ing, boxing, wrestling and running, are
all recommended as excellent methods
of developing the skill, strength, en-
durance, grace, courage and self-reli-
ance that every soldier needs.
There are some simple rules Of eat
ing and living which all of us should
follow regularly They will be espe-
cially helpful to you if you put them
life.
Perhaps the most important of these
rules is to use no alcohol of any kind
II you have been in the habit OF
smoking immoderately, cut down; get
your wind. your nerves and your di-
gestion into the best possible condi-
ton.
Eat and drink moderately Chew
your food well. 1t is advisable, how
ever. to drink great deal of cool (not
eold) water between meals. Don't eat
between meals.
Keep away from soda fountains and
soft drink stands. Learn to enjoy sim
pie. nourishing food
Accustom yourself to regular hours
for sleeping, eating and the morning
functions.
Don't take a last fling" 1t may
land you in the hospital. At the best it
will probably bring you into camp in
an unfit condition to take up your new
duties with profit and enjoyment There
are strenuous days ahead of you and
and IT viii be good sense on your part
to make reasonable preparation for
them.
Look Forward With Confidence.
You will find nothing required of you
in the army that is beyond the powers
of the ery-day American You will
see clearly ahead of you after you
have read this course. the path which
you are to follow. Look forward with
confidence Enter the service with the
firm determination of doing your best
at all umes. of playing square with
your superiors. your associates and
yourself and of taking care always of
your assigned duties whatever may
happen.
You will find that every one else will
treat you with courtesy and fairness
for that is the iniexible rule of the
army Out of that rule grows the com
radeship ard the attractiveness. even in
the face of all dangers and hardships,
that are characteristic of American
army life.
