spread wide open. In this way a man
will not choke on water and he can get
a large full breath of air in a hurry All
air should be exhaled through the nose
SO as to clear the head of all water and
to keep the lungs from inhaling it.
These few suggestions to beginner
win help him very greatly when he starts
later TO learn the strokes. Not until he
has conquered the stunt of bobbing and
any hints on swimming. He must be-
come so familiar with being under water
that it viii not scare him or cause any
fright when he is thinking about the
methods of swimming in the lessons that
follow.
Another week the next step win be
given in this same space so watch for it
and in the meantime see If you can get
this first wei mastered. If you are not a
beginner watch for the suggestions that
follow and you may receive some help
with your stroke as well as some hints on
new ones that you have had trouble

Valuable Hints ON Swimming
Beginners Should First Become Familiar With
the Water

With beginner in the water the first
step is TO cure him of his water shyness
if he has any. Most people learning to
swim win say that they are not afraid of
water, but when You get them in and ask
them to duck their whole head under you
soon find out the truth. Then, and only
then, you can tell where to start them.
In other words the first thing and the
fundamental thing is to make a man feel
at home in the water The simplest way
to bring this about is to first insist that
he spend the entire first day in the water
doing nothing but, ducl1ing, pIunging and
bobbing. which is simply standing in
water up to his waist and sitting on
the bottom of the pool several times in
succession. Have him come up to a
stand each time for a breath and go
down again. In doing this a man should
never be allowed to hold his nose, but
should keep his arms spread out so that
he can use his hands as paddles The
proper way to breathe is to take the air
in through the mouth with the jaws

his acting famous.
The troubles of Silent Mari the Silent
Man began when he wnt to the little
mining town of Bake-oven to take out
papers for his newly-found rich claim
up the canyon and incidentally to have
a good time; the spree ended in the loss
of the claim TO a wideawake unscrupu-
lous clainn-junper. The business of get
ting the rascal proved more difficult
than Silent Mari had anticipated so that
it was necessary for him to turn bandit

But another passenger on the stage was

such a story, is in at the finish to wed the

HUNDREDS OF
RECRUITS ARRIVE
Being Rapidly Outfitted With
Khaki and squadded With
Trained Men.


Hundreds of recruits, with the habit
ments OF civilian life still clfnging to
them, have arrived in Camp Hancock
during the past week, to begin their
crowded course which will make them eff
ffcient in the arts of war. All through
the area occupied by the Ordnance
Corps, the gay attire that soldiers re-
member having worn away back, before
the war-say, fifty years or SO ago-is
dotted in among the Khaki, giving one
that pleasing sensation of seeing man
who does not, at least yet. know as much
about a few things as he does
Most of the new arrivals hail from the
Southern portion. Already they are hard
at work overcoming the first few diff
ficulties presented to the rookie, and the
kind, careful guidance Of those who have
but recently passed that way themselves
win quickly result in the same trans
formation.
Excessive heat adds a few terrors to
those burdened with avoirdupofs. Doing
squads LETT in three inches of hot sand
may not be as pleasant as some of the
things the new soldier has been accus-
toned to, but they are falling in with
earnestness and interest.
The new men are scattered among the
old companies SO as to speed up their
training as much as can be done. Squad
ded with veterans and months expert
ence, they will. with the donning of the
uniform, become in few days as pro-
hcient as the others.

4. Churn too full. In order to OBJ

prevented by sterilizing all the uten-

In an effort to maintain or increase
our live stock supplies, the reduction
of the toll taken by disease should not
be overlooked. There are q large num-
Der OF diseases which are very COM
mon and which seriously affect the
dairy industry. Among these are con-
tagious abortion, tuberculosis, infec-
tious garget, cowpoX, cattle-tick fever,
etc., which in the past have greatly
reduced the milk production Of our
herds.
Tradition has it that In %remedying
these conditions the value Of prevent
ing and combating disease is in the
ratio of 16 to /; in other words, "an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" As - matter of fact this es-
innate is too low; probably lGO to 1
would be much nearer the truth. In
spite Of this fact, however, preventive
measures are not so well known or so
effective that disease can always be
prevented.
In dealing with contagious diseases
the basic principle of prevention is to
keep carriers Of infection away from
the herd. Next in importance is main
tanning the surroundings in a sanitary
condition. Following this, the animals
natural resistance to disease should be
increased by natural and occasionally
by artificial means. Ordinarily, dis
ease stalls about the country only in
the bodies of diseased animals or at
ia ched to some intermediate object.
