Lesson No. 4.
GETTING READY FOR CAMP.

lresting equally upon the heels and
balls of the feet
Note especially that YOU are not re-
CURED to stand in strained attitude
You are to be alert but not tense.
One of the very best things you can
| 10 today is to spend fifteen minutes
practlcng this position, getting in
right. Keep this up every day until
you report at camp In the army, as
in every day life, first impressions are
important The first impression you
make on your officers and fellows will
depend, more than you probably
realize, on the manner in which you
stand and walk
Making Yourself Eft"
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-
tage of every opportunity. Climbing,
jumping gymnastic exercises, all kinds
I0f competitive games, swimming,
rowing, boxing, wrestling. and run
ming, are all recommended as excel.
lent methods of developing the skill.
strength, endurance that every sol.
dier 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
into practice in preparing for camp
.fe.
Perhaps the most important of
these rules is to use no alcohol of any
kind
If 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 we'll II is advisable, how
ever, to drink great deal of cool
mot cold) water between meals. Dont
eat between meals.
Keep away from soda foundtains
and soft drink stands. Learn to en-.
joy simple, 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 it will be good sense on your
part to make reasonable preparation
FOR them.
Looking Forward With Confidence.
You will find nothing required OF
you in the army that is beyond the
powers of the every day American.
You will see clearly ahead of you,
after you nave 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 times, of play
ing square with your superiors, your
associates. and yourself and of taking
care always of your assigned duties
whatever may happen,
You will find that everyone else will
treat you with courtesy and fairness
for that is the inflexible rule of the
army Out OF that rule grows the com
radeship and the attraCtiveness. even
in the face of all dangers and hard
ships, that are characteristic of Ameri.
