Tour rt. training for your duties a a soldier will begin after you and your comrade are assembled at thr train, fir camp. However, there are a few wimple thinfEs you can do dur ing the next few weeks which will he of decided value In fretting you start ed along the riRht line. The simplest thing-, and perhaps the moat useful of all, is to bepin at once to practice correct habits of KtandinK' and walking. Even In civili an life- a man's reputation in his com munity yes, and for that matter his own self-respect la determined to a tourpriKing extent by his bearing. The man who slouches feels like a. slouch. The man who holds his head up faces the world with confidence and cour age. If this is true in civilian life, it is ten times more true in military life. For a soldier must always be strong ly marked by his snap, his precision, and his vigor. He can not have these traits unless he carries himself like a soldier. Ttoe Rearinz of a Soldier. Pew people without military train ing have a correct idea of what is meant by the position and the bearing of a soldier. They are apt to imagine that it means a strut or an extremely strained attitude. Or, more fre quently, they thing that the term can properly be applied to any erect po sition. The truth of the case, how ever. Is that there Is a definite proce dure to follow in order to place your self In what is known in the army as "the position of a soldier," it is the position which the dismounted soldier always assumes at the command "At tention." except as it may be slightly modified to enable him to carry pro perly any arms he may have in his hands. It will be well for you to memorise paragraph 61 of the Infantry Drill Regulations, which gives the complete and accurate description of the posi tion of the soldier. This paragraph is liKhtly paraphrased and simplified in the description following: Keep in mind that there are ten elements which must be properly adjusted to ach other, and check yourself up to see that each one of them Is properly placed. 1. Heels on thesnme line and as near each other as possible: most men should be able to stand with heels touching each other. 2. Feet turned out equally and forming an angle of about 45 degrees. t. ttnees straight without stiffness. 4. Hips level and drawn back slightly; body erect and resting equal ly on hips. 5. Chest lifted and arched. . Shoulders square and falling equally. 7. Arms Hanging naturally. 8. Hands hanging naturally, thumb along the seam of the trous ers. 9. Head erect and squarely to the front; chin drawn in so that axis of head and neck is vertical means that a straight line drawn through the cen ter of the head and neck should be vertiacl) eyes straight to the front. 10. Entire body weight of body resting equally upon the heels and balls of the feet. Note especially that you are not re quired to stand in a strained attitude. You are to be alert hut not tense. One of the very best things you can do today is to spend fifteen minutes practicing this position, getting it right. Keep this up every day until Vou report at camp. In the army, as in every day life, first impressions are important. The first impression you make on your officers and fel lows will depend, more than you probably realize, on the manner in which you stand and walk. Making Yourself "Fit." If you can devote part of your time between now and the opening of camp to physical exercise you are fortunate and should by all means take advan tage of every opportunity.

Krace. courage and self-reliance that every soldier needs. There are s me simple rules of eat ing and living which all of us should follow regularly. They will be espe cially helpful to you if you put them into practice in preparing for camp life. Perhaps the most important of these rules is to uso no alcohol of any kind. If you have been in the habit of smoking immoderately, cut down; get your wind, your nrves and your di gestion into the best possible condi tion. Kat and drink moderately. Chew your food well. It is advisable, how ever, to drink a great deal of cool (not cold, water between meals. IVn't eat between meals. Keep away from soda fountains and soft drink stands. Iearn to enjoy simple, nourishing food. Accustom yourself to regular liour? for sleeping, eating and the mornins functions. Don't "take a last fling.' it may land you in the hospital. At the best it will probably bring you into camp in an unfit condition to take up your new duties with profit and enjoyment. There are strenuous days ahead of you and it will be j?ood sense on your part to make reasonable preparation for them. Txnk Forward With CoufiaVuoe. You will find nothing required of you in the army that is beyond the powers of the every day American. Tou will see clearly ahead of you, after you have read this course, the path which you are to follow. Tuook forward with confidence. Knter the service with the firm determination of doing your best at all times, of playing square with your superiors, your associates, and yourself, and of taking care always of your assigned duties whatever may happen. You will find that everyone else will treat you with courtesy and fair ness for that is the inflexible rule of the army. Out of that rule grows the comradshlp and the attractiveness, even in the face of all dangers and hardships, that are characteristic of American army life.
