BUILDING PHYSICAL
MANHOOD
Gluttony, Gambling, Vile
Stories Taboo.

One unlocked for development of the
present war has been the progress made
along athletic and recreational lines
the athletic training of the soldier. The
careful selection of plain substantial
food; the rigid adhe renee 70 cdlisthenic
work and drills; the recreative and
competitive games-everything care
fully planned and executed to produce
the present dav efficient soldier, an
athlete who can stand forced marches,
severe strain, continued and cO-ordi-
mated effort.
Vitality, or energy If you prefer, is an
dependable force 1t can be wasted by
coordination. 1t can be conserved by
clean living; by proper eating and
elimination of food; by following the
schedule of work, laid out.
To stand the gaff over there you
must conserve vitality. You must feel
fit" Your brain must rule your mus
Gle and your muscles must be ready to
respond instantly, at times autOmat
Cally. Your life may many times de-
pend on the instantaneous response of
trained and hardened muscles. There
are only two kinds of men at the front
the quick and the dead. 1t is so easy
to expand this vital product of trained
bodies; too fast consumption of food is
a sin easily acquired in army life. OV-
er-indulgenCe too, the literal shoyelling
in of food, expecting the digestive or
ganS to do all the work, causes havoc.
Have you ever watched an expert fir
ing a boiler to make steam? Does he
shut his eyes and pile the coal in? Far
from it. He knows the amount to use
and the way to use it to set results;
and the steam gauge tells the tale How
many times have you lined up for drill
after mess with hardly enough Pep"
r,gxx
the entire energy of the body is trying
to digest the pile of fuel you have bur
riedly shOvelled in? After a days drill
have you slept any better because after
supper you've sat around, swapping
smutty stories, energy being expended
by evil thoughts? After pay day have
you felt any better to have lost your
money gambling, or if you have won,
have you gotten any satisfaction by
spending money someone else expended
energy to earn? Has excessive use of
tobacco helped to keep your head clear
and your brain active?
The efficient fighting man of today
thinks quick and clearly, acts instinct
lively and surely, has command and
control OF himself at all times.
What does thrift week mean to you?
If you have made an allotment home;
bought liberty bond, life insurance,
war stamps, you cannot do much more
financially, but you may still exercise
thrift.
Thrift means saving. Save energy.
Don't waste it. Eat carefully Eliminate
waste products regularly. Study to be
efficient in your work.
Think clean thoughts. Live a clean
life morally. Put your heart into your
work SO may you attain physical fit
ness; the ability to endure hardship;
the quick response Of trained body to
an efficient mind
