I i<r if a sick soldier is a drain eti tlie regim* ntiil resources while in in the field, if be has to be car r • •! in an ambulance, or sent back to " ■ .:al in the care of another sol '•■•t. he becomes an utter encum brance. 1: is frr this reason that the phys ical examinations' are now so exacting, in order to weed out all those predis I" • 1 to break down under marching ■ o-ns. Yet it is not necessary for a i in to lie actually sick for him to become a dead weight on a body of • 'sips, if he does not take care of his fee-, e.* nili become fully as useless, i 'ne half .neb blister may. for mareh • i.g purposes. turn a six-foot soldier into an invalid. in 'tie first place, the shoes should ?,e fitted with special attention. They *ui'l neither be too wide nor too 'hort. Sores and blisters should be pr< mptly dressed during a halt. At the end of the march the feet should he bathed and dressed, and, if prac ticable. the shoes should he changed. A 'iddier should under no oircum stan • s. however, go barefoot, for his fet t would swell and give him in ert ,'ed difficulty as soon as he starts to march again. «»ne of the points which cannot he en.pl .sized too strongly is that water should not be drunk on the march. A ' er may take an occasional swal I- ' fr. m his canteen, rinse out his mouth aud then expel the water, but if he drinks outright—as he may do freely at the end of the march—the ■ • sequences are disastrous. »>ne National Guard regiment on the Mexh an border last year started upon j, six-mile march. The column was a shining succession of uplifted onn •eons. Before five miles had been cov ered. 29 men were stretched out by the r- : ls.de in collapse. Another Xu • nal Guard regiment, in which the t. • n drank without restraint on a hot march—even scooping up water from «. lost approximately two hun dred out <>f the column on that day. A soldier should never sleep on the •• ! He should always have his r - - poncho, or at least his blanket, t • *h him. and. whenever possible a ted of straw or leaves beneath pon < ‘ o . r blanket. If the dampness ol *1 e son :ered his system, he would < utraot eold and rheumatism and be « me. as with all sick men, a heavy drag uf(on his organization. Just as it is essential, for the sake of his health, that a soldier keep scru pui usly clean, so for the protection ol The general health, a camp or barracks r rjst also he rendered immaculate. All trash, even small pieces of paper should be swept from the floor of the tent or quarters, or “policed” from the company street. For trash breeds in sects and insects carry disease. All p<« is and damp places near the camp should be drained, so that mosquitoes may have no place to multiply. For this reason soldiers sire supplied with mosquito bars, ns a protection against purveyors of fever. All camp refuse is either buried in a sink or burned in an incinerator. THE SOLDIER AND HIS COM RADES. If the new soldier, before joining the colors, has had everything much his own way at home, the first thing that he will discover when he goes to camp is that he counts for just one individ ual in his squad. While in the family circle he may have t>een 1<X» per cent important in all matters relating to himself, in camp he is simply one of eight men who oc cupy the same tent. Theoretically, the new soldier may know that he should obey officers and noncommissioned of ficers. including the corporal who lives In his tent: but what he may not real ize Is that in all questions not involv ing authority from above, he is also cir< umscribed by the rights and privi leges of others. The rights and con venience of others as well as his own must be thoroughly fixed in his mind. It most be a process of giving and tak ing all down the line. The ratio of the rights and conven iences of others to his own. in fact, is nt«>ut seven to one. Eliminating the corporal, whose position in the tent is official and paternal, the new soldier is entitled to his share of the common rights and privileges—no more—and must ungrudgingly perform his share of the common work—no less. If the new soldier fails to conform to these rules of conduct, not only will te be disciplined with odious fags and b ’alls by the corporal, but he will find that his tentmstes instinctively league themselves against him. They watch fur every opportunity to make life irksome for him. ingeniously piling the .«<vrk uj-on him in deft ways which they will discover; and. if he is incorrigible, the y will find a chance (whether it is prohibited or not) to toss him up in a blanket, or send him through a squad spanking machine. A squad spanking machine operate.; with slats. And if the new soldier has rendered himself obnoxious in the tent, he will find that the corporal, if he does nor actually a-'ist in this treatment, will at least sanction it. In short, it is the easiest thing in the True Economy. True economy does not of itself de fend on the amount you are able to retain in the pockett>ook. You have got to spend and spend lavishly to get enough to live on. The economy lies not In the amount you spend, but in what you get for your money on its rela tion to your total purchasing ability. The purchase must meet a need and make returns in ber-clits or the invest ment is not economic. " hen you come to look over your yearly outlay you vtU find thlttf* tba: have returned you i no direct benefit. There are other ' things unpurchased that would have been helpful to you. Therein lies the real economy or lack of it. Real economy looks into the future for an equation of purchase prices.—Grit. The Morning After. Neighbor—Your husband pleased with election? She—Well, sort of. You see, if John’s side had won, he couldn’t kick, and John wouldn’t like that,”_Judge! wnr'd for the pampered nnd self-cen tered new soldier from a home where he has been spoiled to get himself “in j bad.” Once “in bad,” it is a long, ar duous and contrite process to get out. And. discovering himself “in bad,” if he does not immediately begin to re form. he will find that he is a marked man, not only in his own squad, but to the squads on either side of him. and at length become the butt of the whole company. In that case, his days and nights will be made wretched for him. But if the new soldier, from the start, is cheerful, agreeable, alert, will ing at all times to help in policing the tent—keeping his own effects in order and the common space and property clean—always ready to respond to de tails, and never forgetful of the fact that he is but one of seven privates with equal duties and rights, he will have nothing to worry about from his . companions. HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK. It would be useless for the new soldier to know the courtesies he must pay to rank unless he knows how to distin guish such rank. He must know the marking which designate the officer and the noncommissioned officer, and he must also know the general symbols | of the service. The corporal, the lowest rank of j noncommissioned officer, wears a pri j vate’s uniform, with chevrons on his arm. A corporal's chevrons consist of two parallel stripes of cloth in the shape of a triangle without a base, with slightly curving sides. The chev rons, in the olive drab uniform, are of a different shade of brown, while on the bine army uniform they are of the color which distinguishes the cor poral's particular branch of the serv ice. The sergeant, next in rank, wears chevrons of three stripes; while The first sergeant, chief noncommissioned officer of the company, wears a chev ron of three stripes, with a square in the center. The second lieu'-mant. in olive drab, is marked by the i! (Terence between an officer's and a private’s uniform—that is. he wears leather or wool puttees, instead of canvas leggings; there is a stripe of brown braid around the ( tiff of his coat, and he wears the officers’ hatband, a snake-cord of black and gold strands. The first lieutenant wears one silver bar on each shoulder. The captain ha> two silver bars on each shoulder. The major has a gold leaf, the lieutenant colonel a silver leaf. The colonel is marked by a sil ver eagle, and the brigadier general by one silver star on each shoulder. The major general (the highest nnk at present in our active service) is desig nated by two silver stars. The officers' insignia presents a somewhat different appearance on dress and full-dress uniforms, al though the marks remain the same, hut as the new soldier who goes into camp now is likely to see nothing hut the field-service uniform, it would be confusing to burden his mind with a further description of officers' shoulder I straps. It is essential, however, that he should know the colors of at least the three great branches of the service— infantry, cavalry and artillery. The ; infantryman in the field uniform wears i a blue hat cord, which may be seen at a considerable distance; the cavalry man wears a yellow hat cord, and ar tilleryman red. A troop of cavalry rides with a guidon, a yellow flag, on which the letter and regiment of The particular unit appears in white. The buttery of artillery rides with a red guidon, similarly inscribed, — Obeahmen Are Mercenary. The stock-in-trade of the Obeah men is as bizarre as their inventive minds. In their magic bags they car ry about with them ground bones of the dead, needles and black thread rubbed with tallow, a looking-glass, cards, powder, quicksilver, and an evil-smelling gum reputed to be of the devil. By ringing the changes on these mixtures they work their wonders and impose upon their vic tims. Curing diseases of the mind and of the body is merely a side is sue with them. Protecting fruit gardens and chicken runs are their specialty. One thing they have in common — that is, the mercenary habit. They sell their “power” to the highest bidder. Consequently, as the nigger's wealth, so his health and prosperity. All that the Obeahmen stipulate is that payment must be made according to the magnitude of the miracle to be wrought. They are accredited with having knowledge of secret African bush poisons.. But this is an exaggeration. When they j have recourse to this desperate ex j treme they are content to use arsenic j rat-poison, or finely powdered glass. Cyclones and Tornadoes. A cyclone, in technical parlance, is any general storm. In popular but not definitely unscientific parlance it is the I type of storm represented by the hurri cane or typhoon—a whirlwind with a diameter of from 50 to 100 miles. It [ "as a cyclone from the West Indies i ! that struck Galveston. The dust whirls you see along coun | try roads are in principles tornadoes, j " aterspouts are miniature tornadoes : at sea.
