Of staff Of the Army. officers in their
relations with the meif Of their COM
mands must be leaders and not orl'-
ers." He was discussing means 1or
improving the morale Of the Army.
Character building and moral train
ing" said he, consist in the develop
ment of right thinking. just action
and a genuine sense of responsibility
These qualities are best developed In
men by inspiring leadership. whlcn
builds up a strong community SANE
ton for high moral standards and re-
duces to a minimum the opportunities
for vicious associations and inhu-
ences. Every moral mind instructive
ly recognizes the difference between
right and wrong. Hence the problem
of creating an environment when
compels right thinking and Just ac-
ton on all occasions as a matter OF
course.
character building and moral
training must not be restricted In
meaning to religious exhortatlon OF
class room instruction in moral PM
losophy. Religion frequently is the
most powerful motive for right living
and respect for religion should be en-
couraged in every way. 1t should NOT
however, be forgotten that character
and morality grow firm and strong In
proportion as they express themselves
spontaneously in right action in daily
life.
"The best results in character build
ing and moral training can be secured
only when all officers, from the COM
manding officer down, bear in mind
that when rightly guided. every ex-
ercise. every duty. every recreation.
every act and every thought in the
whole life of every man makes a posi-
tive contribution toward the achieve

work the commanding officer himself
must be the chief power. His infiu
ence, by example, by firmness, by in

trolled with judgment and earnest

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society WASH their own hair,
not because it is fad, but because
they wish to obtain the greatest pos
sible hair beauty and be sure they are
not using anything harmful. They
have found that in washing the hair
it is never wise to use a makeshift,
but is always advisable to use prep
aration made for shampooing only.
Many Of our friends say they get the
best results from simple homemade
canthrox mixture. You can use this
at a cost of about cents a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving teaspoonful
in cup. of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the top of
the head, as with most preparations.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved, and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its lustre and softness
will also delight you.
