You will reiceive on enlistment an ample supply of clothing, including not only your uniform, hut extra sh o e s , sh irts, u n d e r c lo th e s , and sock s . You may not be aihle always to keep your Clothing spotlessly clean. But w’hen it becomes dirty or spotted take the first opportunity to clean thoroughly. Your shoes must 'be cleaned and should be carefully dried. Army polished frequently. Wet shoes men frequently dry their shoe® dur ing the night by taking a few hand fuls of dry, clean pebbles, heating them in a meat can or kettle until they are very hot, and then placing them in the shoes. So long as the pebbles are hot move them about once in a while by shaking the shoes. T a k e care not to h e a t th e p e b b les SO hot that the shoes will be scorch- In general, see to it that all your clothing is as neat and clean aa pos- stble at all times. Mend rips and sew on buttons without delay. This will add to your comfort as well aa ap pearance. W ear your h a t straight. Don’t a f fect th e “ sm a r t a le c k ” sty le of t il t ing the hat. Keep all buttons fas tened. Have your trousers and leg gings properly laced. Keep yourself clean shaved. Carry yourself like a soldier. Bear in mind that there is a ten dency in camp life for men to become careless and untidy. You m ust use every means to counteract this ten dency. For this purpose the customs and regulations of the Army empha size the necessity for personal neat n e s s and c lea n lin e s s . T h e g o o d soldier keeps close watch on him- Besides his extra clothing a soldier carries a b la n k e t , a ru b b e r p o n c h o , a canteen, a mess kit, including meat can, knife, fork, and spoon, a, cup, toilet articles, a first aid package, and some minor belongings. One of the most useful pieces one-half of a shelter tent, with rope and pins. The shelter tent is said to be a French invention which was introduced into the American Army during the Civil W ar. In the Army it is often called a \dog tent,” evi dently because of its shape and small size. Two men can combine their halves and set up a shelter tent in a few minutes. While it can not be described as roomy, it is just what its name implies, a “shelter” from wind and rain. I t is u s e d only in tempo rary camps. Your chief fighting tools will be a rifle, a bayonet in a scalbbard, a c a rt ridge belt, and an intrenching tool. Other weapons or defenses needed in modern trench warfare will be re ferred to later. Do not under any circumstances lose track of these articles while on field duty. So long as you possess them, you are an yourself and of pcrformlnf effective service. W ithout them you are for all practical purposes helpless. Of ,Course, this statem e n t does not ap ply strictly to those men who are armed In some other way, such as those who are Serving artillery or machine ifuna. \ The ride Is the soldiers closest friend. His first thought should be to guard it and care for it above all his other possessions. Hei expects It to take care of him in emergencies. In ordinary times he m u st take care In caring for a rifle It is especially important to keep .the bore clean. In so doing be sure to avoid Injuring the delicate rifling which causes the bul let to spin as it is forced out and thus greatly Increases the accuracy of firing. Never p u t away a rifle that has been fired or exposed to bad weather without first cleaning it. Never lay a rifle flat on the ground. Rest it securely against isomething. In lo w e r in g the rifle to th e ground, whether during drilling or a t any other time, see that it touches the ground gently. Don’t play with yOur vlfle. A rifle or revolver, whether loaded or un- , t M I M Iff *HMI loaded, should never be pointed at a person unless you fully Intend to shoot that person, if necessary, in the performance of your duty. When a firearm is put into your hands you are intrusted with a great responsi bility for its proper use. Anybody in normal physical con dition can learn to Ibe a good shot. Two Of the most important points to remember are to take a deep breaith ju s t b e fo r e co m p letin g you r with perfect steadiness,, and to aim so that you may hold the rifle with perfect steadiness^ and to squeeze the trigger so that gun will j not be jerked from its aim at the moment of firing. When you become an expert marksman (provided you have also the courage which permits you to remain cool and collected on the battle field) you will have added immensely to your value as a citizen soldier. The simple fact that yon qualify as a marksman will give you m o re self-confidence and self- control The amount of ammunition which anr American infantryman carries in to battle is usually 220 rounds. In an advanced firing position, where it is difficult to bring up reserves of ammunition, it is necessary to be economical. Bear this in mind dur ing your target practice and learn to make every shot count. In modern warfare the intrenching tool Is an essential part of your fighting equipment. The eight men in each squad carry these 8 tools: 4 shoyeis, 2 pick mattocks, 1 polo or hand-ax, 1 w ire-cutter. In ordinary soil you can quickly throw shallow trench which Will protect you to a great extent from the ene- AUGUST FURNITURE SALE KEEN JUDGES OF GOOD FURNITURE WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THESE SURPASSING VALUES.

After a trepch has once been s.tarted, it can be deepened and extended, even in the face of the enemy, without the soldier exposing himself to direct fire. Don’t look on practice in digging trenches as if it were dr/udgery. Skill in seeking and making cover from the enemy’s fire is far from be ing a sign of weakness on the soldier’s p a rt. Rather it is a sign of the determination and courage that mark a really efficient fighting force. The day has gone by when either officers or men are expected to stand out in the open.
