There Is a gripping interest about
the soldiers life that makes a strong
appeal 10 vigorous Americans. This
is dOubly true i'm time OF war when
the soldier has a serious object i'm
view and gives his whole mind TO
his new duties.
You will find this interest growing
as YOU advance. New scenes and as
sociates will bring YOU a new point
of view. You will be less wrapped
up than YOU have been i'm many
purely personal questions. You will
cut loose from many of the petty
details which tend 20 smother a
mans individuality. You Will devote
more time 10 thinking.
The healthy good fellowship Of
the camp also can not fail to slim
ulate you. Thousands of men drawn
from all walks Of life can not be
thrown suddenly together without
bringing to light many qualities
previously unknown. You will prob
ably become better acquainted with
yourself than you have ever been
before
In order TO get the most out Of
this new life YOU must devote your
self to it heart and soul. A good
start is half the battle i'm making
your way in the army. Even if you
are not now much interested in
military affairs-if YOU are enter
ing the service. not because of per-
sonal inclination. but solely because
it is one Of your obligations as a
citizen-you are going 10 become
keenly interested after YOU once get
into the swing and spirit of the
90 case out Of every 100. Recognize
fl now and play the game hard from
the very start.
Your Monthly Pay.
While the men in the national
army are serving at the call of duty
and not for money, nevertheless
everyone will be paid more than
enough 20 take care Of all necessary
expenses These expenses are very
slight Clothing food. and transpor-
tatior are provided by the govern
ment. I'm addition. the private sol
der receives $50 per month while

Fasteninn Battery Wires.

There are two ways Of doing almost
everything, and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong, and the
other is to twist the bare end Of the
wire around the terminal az the hands
OF the clock move anG shen tighten up
the nut The reason for this Is be
cause the screw thread is right baud
ed: therefore the tendency of the tight
ening nut will be to twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than 1t
was. should The wire be twisted the
other way the nut would tend to I'M
twist it. and 1t would slip under the
nut and very likely yet very poor
