ONCE OVERS
ARE YOU 4 PLY SICAL
SLACkER2

Perhaps you were quite uneasy
when you heard that all men be
tween the ages OF so and 40 must
register for military duty.
Not the result of cowardice on
your part, but you felt sure that
your physical condition would not
stand the strain of army life.
That is more likely 20 be true If
you were near the age limit
The fact that you might not be
able to match up physically with
your fellows in army work should
teach you a valuable lesson.
You would be ashamed 10 give out
in a line Of duty which nearly all
men in your comp any could per
form
You say you are not lazy, but is il
not Iaziness on your part which &C
counts for your not taking proper
exercise TO keep yourself fit?
To acknowledge a fault IS a long
way toward correcting il.
Then get into some systematic
form OF work or exercise which Will
bring back strength and ambition
Cultivate the spirit OF good Eel
iowship by doing il with someone.
There is strength and inspiration
in numbers. so while you build your
self up help TO brace up some one
else, too.
