physical tlecldpment holds a promt-'
nent place. The clean, healthful,
outdoor rife of the soldier builds Ills
body as oj gymnasium exercUe can
do. Not only is the soldier's body
developed but also his mind and
morals. The medical lectures given
the soldiers are of great aid in keep
ing the sanitary conditions advocat
ed by the army. The soldier learns
the principles of co-operation and
team work and he acquires that feel
ing of manliness and confidence that
places him above the average civil
ian. Army life has an Important edu-
rntiAnal at nt cta ft ha t ( a aaji! nllv

important to foreigner tn the army.
I They learn to speak, read, and write
'English and they ran also complete
their citizenship two years sooner. A
knowledge thus imparted to the for
eigner shows him the evil in 'organ!
zatious that work against our gov
ernment. The soldiers have a chance
for traved to remote parts of the
world, thereby gaining valuable
knowledge first hand. The soldier
that gains an office has a chance to
study human nature, and how to get
the best and the most from his men.
how to control them best.
The soldier that desires to learn
a trade may nave the best technical
and experimental instruction tn any
one of the vocational opportunities
offered by the government and by
applying himself earnestly he will be
come so proficient that upon return
ing to civil life be has command o
a useful trade.
A soldier by enlisting In the United
States army tends to make the gov
ernment more protective and effl
clent and he feels that he is doing
his part in keeping alive the spirit
of freedom. A large army must be
kept to maintain our steading among
other nations and to keep oraer in
our own nation. A large nation with
out a sufficient army would become
a very chaos of disorder and ruin
The nation would be co.uc infested

WHAT ARK THE BES'KFITS OF
.. AN ENLISTMENT. IN THK..
I'XtTEn STATES ARM V ....
Some of the benefits of an enlist
ment In the United States army for
tho soldier alone are: It Rives the
soldier physical training and keeps
him In good health. The trslnlag
makes a man who ts inclined to
loop- stand straight, and this will
let his lungs expand further. o that
he can breathe better ana win or
mor healthy. He has to train a
certain number of hours each day.
This gives mm regular eirrcuw.
has o go to bed and 'get up a cer
tain time and this gives him enough
and regular sleep. He is vsccinsted
to prevent different diseases so his
health Is protected, but in case of
sickne he is properly cared for In
a hospital with all hills paid.
He must be ready to go at a min
ute's notice, any time that the or
der ia given, and oby orders promp
tly. He is' taught to keep his shoes
always clean and polished and his
uniform cleaned and pressed. His
tent mut be kept neat and clean,
and his bed must be made.
If a loafer around town enliats rn
the army he is compelled to wort,
and in lots of cases it reforms the
tnan. eo when he gets back home,
he is digustcd with his old life.
