length Of time they should be placed
on their sides and kept at about 80 to
90 degrees temperature and turned

lighter than the white and should not
be turned on to the large end, nor
kept in one position too long, so that

the safety and liberty Of America. To
pay the allowances made by the Gov
eminent to the dependent wives and
children Of these soldiers and to pay
the life insurance which the Govern
ment permits every soldier 70 buy
