AYOMEX IX MEN'S PLACES
Tho womau who complains that
she sees no place which, she
can do lier bit during the war
ftu>uhl find some (suggestion out of
tho various recommendations made
by tho administration. All that
she needs to do is to look about
&cr home, wherg she is sure to
l'ind a way of saving a penny. There
is the red cro^s work, tho mem
bers of which have always some
thing to do. l*rettv soon, men will
be scarce iluJ if women have a real
desire to do their bit they can
learn how to tako men's places in
©tores or offices and a thousand
other ways. In England, the re
ports say that women have found
no difliculty at all iu finding their
niches in the new scheme of things,
interesting in the extreme is the
Loudon dispatch sometime ago, mak
>ng public for the first time the fact
that when General Persuing was
there his two orderlie„. wire women,
who had been assigned to 1'ie task
by the war office. If the w .r i? to
last, women should prepare • iiem
selves for all eventualities.

of the coming year. Those booze
manufacturers and dealers in states
yet on the wet list are, to use a
political expression, "viewing with
alarm" the outlook that confronts
them, but they are not helping their
cause by sending out wails about
the dying business. So far as

YOUR HEALTH
The living conditins in the Army
uro just what most vigorous men,
need for their phyiscal well-being.
Every day brings an ample amount
of exercise, fresh air, and good food,
Yours will be a very unusual case
j£ you do not find yourself after a
j.Vw mouths stronger, healthier, and
(more bouyant tbaa you have ever
| been in your life.
it is true, on the other hand,
that extreme eaertipn in, marching
or fighting may iu time be called
ior. But this will not he until you
are thoroughly trained, and fit. The
periods of strain or exposure will
probably be short and ar<s not like
ly in themselves to do you any real
harm. At any rate, you owe it to
the country—to rnaks you-rseUJ "fit"
at the t^rliest possible moment.
Sick men can not do much toward
winning this war. in the Army
they are not only a loss, but during
their sickness a positive! hfandlcap.
There are a few simple, common
sense rules to follow, which are
briefly gummed up in this lesson.
Everything you eat will be care
fully inspected by t.he officers in
chargo of that duty. You will have
plenty of fresh meat, bread, potatoes
and other vegetables, and other
simple and nourishing food. As a
general rule, you should eat no
thing not supplied in your company
mess. Especially avoid green or
over-ripe fruit and the inferior
"soft drinks" which will l>e put be
fore you in shops and by peddlers
c utsid© the camp limits .
Your chief care ia connection
with, food will be to chew it thor
oughly and eat it slowly. Don't
'•wjbav. ^o sai}}ju8nl) sAissaoxa Jfupp
tea, or coffee with, your meals; this
ia rather a common fault among
soldiers.
Avoid needless exposure. You
may be often called upon in the
line of duty to march through mud
and rain. So long as you are active*
ly on the move it will probably do
no harm. As soon ag you are off
duty, however, take proper care of
yourself. Give yourself a rub
down and if possible bathe your
feet 3nd change your clothing. Use
a little extra care to protect your
belly from getting chilled; It may
save you some annoying attacks of
cramps and diarrhea.
if you come in from exercise or
drill sweating freely, try to cool
off gradually instead of allowing
yourself to get chilled. Even, in
hot weather throw a light coat or
wrap over yourself far a few min
utes.
One of the most important rules
of all is to he careful about drink
ing water not provided in the
camp recommended to you by medi
cal or company officers. If pure
water is not at hand, it is better
;o drink boiled water or weak cof
:'ee or tea. Boiling kills the disease
serais.
If you are ia the habite of using
tobacco, be moderate, especially
ttLi'f- you are on the march or
just before taking strenuous exer
cise. Your smoke will do less lia-rm
aud at the same time wiU be much
more enjoyable, if you wait till you
can sit down quietly during one of
the Deriods of rest.
Eight hours of each day are set
aside for sleep. This is ample,
but not too much for most men.
(Even if you can't sleep for any
reason lie still and get a good rest
during those hours.
The medical officer will be ready
to do everything he can to keep
you well. Don't hesitate to report
to him if you need any attention
even for slight ailments. Every
day at "sick call" any soldier who
is not feeling well may ask for
medical treatment.

campaign to raise athletic goods for
the soldiers at American Lake is
progressing satisfactorily." One of
the boys writes from the camp:
"Hurry up with those boxing gloves
and Daseballs. We're going to
leave here soon and we need em.
The boys over here are watching
the campaign and everybody is
tickled at the way Seattle sportsmen
are coming through."
Byron Gillete, San Francisco's
Mlliard title holder, recontly de
feated Robert Cannefax, the world's
three cushion champion.
Hugo Bezdek, Oregon athletio
coach says: "The nations which
have no athletic sports, of there
ba any such, are certain to be flat*
by of muscle and purposeless of
mind."
Skagway's Public School is plan
ning on better sports for this year,
and we may look forward to some
good games of basket ball during
the winter, and possibly to some ice
hockey games.

for lead in the American league,
