Soldiers Reflect Training

One of the best lessons soldier
pine and orderly action, is that of
"smartness" Indeed this may be set
down as part of discipline. and for
that reason in all great training camps
the young men. newly from civil life,
are getting advice and instruction on
the point. 1t means that the soldier
must be careful Of his personal APP
pearance, avoiding slouchiness in dress
or demeanor as he would the plague.
The moral effect of this is direct and
easily recognized, observes the Omaha
Bee The smart" soldier is good
soldier and reflects in his bearing and
attitude the lessons of his training.
He is alert, resourceful and in all ways
dependable and efficient. The Ameri-
can army does not stress this beyond
reason. for 1t Is traditional to retain
as much of the individual qualities Of
the men as is compatible with need for
concerted action. This policy has been
Of immense value in developing self
reliance and initiative, the chief char
acteristics of the American soldier.
Proper relaxation essential to per-
sOnal comfort is always permitted, and
the combination of this element with
that of disciplinary routine produces
the best fighting organization the world
has ever known.

Right Way to Water Plants.

Lucien Daniel. French botanist..
has discovered that young dollhouse
plants and slips Of vegetables, as we'll
as flowers. thrive far better by q sys-
TEN Of continuous watering than by
drenching the soil at stated periods.
The new method depends upon the law
Of capillary attraction. Near each
plant is placed a jar containing water,
into which Is dipped one end Of strip
Of linen or cotton, whose other end lies
near the plant With this uninterrupt-
ed supply Of water, drop by drop, the
plants thrived, greatly understanding
other plants, which were submitted to
an Intermittent drenching.

WAR BREAD

War bread does not mean a new
product which the housewife must
learn to make before her family can
help in the food campaign. Any bread
which saves wheat is war bread. Any
family which uses rye bread, corn
bread, or any other wheat substitute
is already eating war bread, and the
probabilities are actually enjoying the
change from the monotony Of white
wheat bread. The following recipes
are suggested by Miss Wenona Wind
sor Of the. University Of Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture. They are not
only good but high in food value:
Cornmeal muffins.-One cupful sour
milk, one tablespoonful sugar, one
tablespoon fat, one-half teaspoOnful
soda, one teaspoonful baking powder,
one egg, one and one-half cupfuls corn
meal. one-half cupful -four. Sift the
dry ingredients together. Mix the
milk and beaten egg and stir into the
dry ingredients. Add the melted fat
and beat well. Bake in well creased
muffin pans.
Spoon corn bread.-One and one-half
cupfuls cornmeal, three cupfuls liquid
(milk or water). Make a thin mush,
cool and add two tablespoonfuls sugar,
one teaspOOnful salt, two tablespoon
fuls butter or butter substitute, three
egg yOlks, two tablespoonfuls baking
powder. Fold in the beaten whites
Of the eggs. Bake In a buttered bak.

VALUE OF PLAY
By DR.. SAMUEL DIXON.
Commissioner Of Health Of Penn
syivania.

Most people would say that plays
first requisite was that it should con-
sist Of something one doesn't have to
do. Play is in reality, however, Of oil
sorts and descriptions. Those that
produce something useful besides CIV
ing rest are greatly to be preferred.
There are many sorts equally slim
ulating to the mind and to the body
and productive of valuable results.
One essential to beneficial play is
that 1t be wholesome and be perform
ed In healthful environment, that Is.
where we have pure moving air Of the
right temperature and preferably sun
light.
, The body should be maintained in
such position as to permit an even cir
culation Of the blood and normal res
piration. The object Of the exercise
would otherwise be very much dis
counted. The air carries food to the
blood which 1t furnishes to the tissues,
and the blood in turn takes away the
debris and returns 1t to the outside
atmosphere. This will make plain to
any reader the necessity of what has
been said about the proper environ
ment in which to exercise.
y unless the blood is supplied WITH
what nature has provided for her nor
NAL function. the digestive system will
fail and the body will be wanting in
nourishment. When this condition
takes place man becomes susceptible to
the disease germs that are ever pres
ent In the atmosphere. The greatest
safety Is to be found in keeping up
the resistance.
Various types Of work properly ad-
justed will often substitute for what is
generally known as play. For in
stance. ones brain center may become
weary at monOtOnous occupation. and
a decided change Of occupation. not
withstanding 1t be what we usually
call work. will permit the first brain
works.
But we come back to the fact that
what most people regard as play Is an
occupation that they are not required
to perform. and. It would seem from q
psychological standpoint, to give
greater rest II It be an occupation that
is particularly useless from the stand
point OF producing economic results.
Therefore there should be time set
aside In the work OF the day. no mat
ter whether 1t be varied or not. when
the environment may be changed and
play should be taken up.
speak Of games in a broad sense.
For instance. after sitting at task

and the limbs swinging 80 as to pro-
duce circulation. and attention given
to surroundings go that the mind may
be occupied and contented. constitutes
one Of the best kinds Of play. prefer

In these times 1t is well to remem-

that all work and no play makes Jack
