Lesson No. S-Marching and Care of
Feet.

Camp. Z. Your Healthy
The new soldier seldom under
stand shows important 1t is for him to
learn to march and to develop his
muscles SO that he can easily carry
his arms and equipment. Marching
constitutes the principal occupation
of troops in campaign" (Infantry
Drill Regulations, paragraph 623.)
Modern trench warfare in Europe has
for the time being reduced the
amount of marching required in cam
paign; yet 1t remains just as import
ant an element in the soldiers train
ing as 1t ever was
In order to march for long dis
tances the soldiers feet must be in
goon condition. AS has been aptly
remarkd, 1.-The infantryman's feet are
his means of transportation" Spe-
cial attention should be paid to the
fitting of shoes and the care of the
feet. Marching shoes should be quite
g. little larger than shoes for ordinary
wear. Sores and blisters on the feet
should be promptly dressed during
halts. At the end of the march feet
should be bathed and dressed; the
socks, and If practicable the shoes,
should be changed" (Infantry Drill
Regulations, paragraph 627.)
You will learn in time the practical
rules for taking care of your feet that
are followed by experienced soldiers.
You will avoid considerable discom-
fort however, If you learn some of
these rules now and put them into
practice from the very beginning.
/. See that your shoes are large
enough. They will at first look and
feel unnecessarily loose. This Is need
ed because 1t has been found that feet
swell and 1engthen on marches, espe-
cially when carrying packs. But shoes
fitted this way will give you no corns,
bunions, blisters or other foot ills.
In fact, they will cure any that you
may already have.
g. Take pains to keep your shoes in
good condition. 1t Is q good idea to
apply a light coat of neat's-foot oil,
which will both soften the leather and
tend to make them waterproof. Don't
neglect to smooth out wrinkles in the
lining of the shoe. Break In" new
shoes before wearing them on long
marches.
g. Wear light wooden socks, such as
will be issued to you. See that you
have no holes or wrinkles In them.
If hole has been worn and can not
be mended at once, change the sock
from one foot to the other so that
your foot will not be irritated more
than Is necessary.
4. Keep your feet, socks and shoes

'Margle," said Paula suddenly,
whenever I stop to think of the aw-
ful things money makes us do 1t
seems to me 1t is the real and most
terrible curse we have put upon us
on this earth.
I'VE lie for it; we steal for it; we
murder for 1t. We sell our souls and
those of others for It: we cast out
into the world those who are not able
to live without our help for 1t; we
give up home, friends, love, honor
for It.
And what does it mean when we
get 1t at the cost of all these worth
while things2 1t means we have paid
in the highest coin we know-love,
hope, home, honor-for a thing that
Is absolutely valueless to us unless
we buy with it something that we
need much less than that which we
squandered on the acquisition of
money.
Jack Van Rensselaer, would never
have the same feeling for his mother
that he had before he caught her In
the lie she told me about his money.
The mother had lost more than the
entire million dollars by that one lit
tie untruth, and she told 1T that her
son might marry Charlotte Mavis and
add other millions to the more than
enough he already had.
''Margie, the selfshness and greed
of the individual-his grasping for
money, money, money Is the one per-
fectly heartless thing in the whole
/ plan.
Money has no soul; 1t only has
the greatest capacity for sin. It
creates the one Unsuitable desire In
the material world.
I'VE may tire OF love, but we never
| tire of money.

Hard Work la Healthy.

AS a rule, married people live longer
than single. and those who have to
work hard for their living longer than
those who do not. The average of
longevity is higher among civilized
than uncivilized races. Further, peo-
pie of large build live longer than those
of small, but those of middle size live
longer than either.

Fresh Fish
BY BIDDY BYE.

There is hardly a section in the
country that has not stream, a pond,
a lake, a river or "old ocean," near
enough at hand to have fresh fish" in
plenty at this season. Never is fish
better than just now, and with q little
thought and ingenuity it can be made
to take the place of meat frequently
to the delight, not the protest, of the
family.
White-fieshed fish are the most
easily digested, and the oily varieties
like mackerel, salmon and eels, are
the most difficult of digestion. White
fieshed fish is the most delicate and
the red-fieshed and oil fish the most
nourishing.
Fish is highly heterogeneous and
should be served with plenty of
