i the world is in better shape. Take
t matter of food. i remember when
the best borders-ration! was a u bill
-ia your pocket. When we got to But-
faloin 1802, we had been eighteen
hours without food. They said we were
going to camp on a form. A great cheer
went u when-we heard the news. We
could a the' fresh eggs, fine buttstr
'and chickens and nice vegetables all
being ooolrsd for us. soldiering wasn‘t
so' bad; after all. We were going into
a land of milk andrhouey. Well. that
farm-was 'a swamp filled with rail-
road .cistlers, and there was nothing
but grain-elevators and mosquitoes in
si lit:- We had' no food for nearly
f 'ty-eight hours more; ‘

“One of the odlcera went into Buf-
falo, got on order on a wholesale gro-
cery house, had to hire a furniture van
to haul the supplies out to camp. The
boys pulled the van into camp with a
great about. Well. there were no
cooking utensils. i remember my com-
pany got a big wash-boiler and we
made a stew. Every one. took at hand
in the cooking. We noticed a peculiar
scum on top of the stew. but the aroma
‘from that stew was so grand that we
didn’t cart: about tho looks, nd Wc just
skimmed the scum off and lot her
simmer.I And how we did out it! When
we got through stunt: one looked in the
boiler. and there were the rcuiiiins of
a bar of soap that We had neglected
to remove. But there nchr was a bet.
ter stew in tho world than thiit. soap
and all.

“Well. what hiippcus nowadays?
Every company has its poriubie stovc.
its cooks. and every man has his iittlc
knife and fork and spoon and plate
attachment. And then there are inciit—
clenvors and big knivcs and everything,
needed to go along. and it's all patzittii
tip snug and fine anti no guardsmuu
ever gees hungry. He even carries con-
densed rations. good for one day's sup.
ply. lie docsn‘t need the $5 bill in his
pocket any more. He's as wcll equip-
ped as any regular could be. ond his
comtnissary is in just as good a condi-
tion. We are sending out the men from
their comps on marches of one or two
days. making them‘take cure of them»
selves as they go along. Regulars
couldn't do any better,

'As to the health of inch in the field,
wcii. nothing is neglected. l remem-
her. just to show the difference, it ‘iong
roll“ in the camp at Pcckskili it'll years
ago in the night. We all tumbled out
~of coiirsc, in thosc days the tip had
been sent around what to expect-40
moot the enemy. Well. we disposed of
him all right. and as l was coming
back to camp one of the general offi-
cers. who was trying to get out of the
way of the buttery that was making a
short cut, stumbled in the dark ovcr
the ropes of a tent, fell badly. ctit him-
self terribly on the tout-poles, and
woe one of the worstdooking objects in
the world. We. got the doctor as soon
as possible. He had crude appliances
and no helpers. i left my command to
assist,thc doctor, and l a captain! We
had a smoky kcroscuo lamp to give its
light; no acetylene gas, as in these
days. it wuss disagreeable job patch-

lous piece of work, considering our
mciigre equipment.

“What is the situation now? We
have men enlisted in every company as
a hospital outfit. Why. sometimes, you
can't keep out of their clutchcs. l.ct
a man have a headache. They will
actually seize hlni. bundle blin off to a
hospital. and not let him go. Let a
man suggest that he has a pain. These
Red Cross fellows pounce on him, even
swat him to make him think he really
is sick; then they coddle him and turn
him out with great pride the next (lay
a wall man. Let a man fall in the
ranks or get hurt. Does a captain leave
his men and go to assist the major
doctor or captain doctor? Not much.
Nobody pays any attention to the
stricken man. The hespital gang is
there on the Jump, and we go right,
along. Why. we used to have to bor-
row an ambulance whenever We went
out. Do we do it nowadays? l guess
not. We even have the harness for the"
horses all ready. And the medicine
chest is a marvellous thing. Let a man
complain of a brown taste in the
mouth. He goes to the doctor—he
wouldn’t think of such a thing at home,
Give him Number 31. or whatever it is,
says thc doctor. and the pills or the
powders«no liquids—41m doled otit.

‘And the camp inspection! Twice a
day they are made“ Every omccr
knows how to pitch a camp nowadays.
‘Wood and water‘ is the trick 'to learn.
Get your water from the highest point
up stream, and let the camp drainage
go into the stream the farthest point
possible below.

“Talk about discipline". The enlisted
man today uses the third person in ad:
dressing officers. He comes up to ‘the
captain and says. 'l have the first
sergeant's permission to speak to the
captdin.‘ If you're the captain, yeti
would have said in the old days: ‘Why.
i'sn thercaptaln. Yondunkhead. don't
you know that? 'Now-‘yod' say. 'Well.
what is it?’ This custom of using the
third person runs through all the ranks.
There‘s no famiiarlty with officers. You
don‘t hear a captain called 'Blll' by his
area» any more. Every man in the
guard is able to repeat. just as he would.
a secret society's ritual, the duties of a
entry. .:[ remember asking a lot 'of
oflicers once to repeat that formula.
They couldn't do it. Two weeks later
every man had it. Then they made ev-
ery one of their subordinates. learn the
same thing, and so it spread until today .
an enlisted man of a few months who
cannot rattle tha‘ thing off isn’t fit to
be is the guard. The great point is

A PUROATIVE PLEASURE.
if you ever took tDeWitt's Little Early
Risers for [billiousness or constipation
you know what a purgatlve pleasure is.
These famous little pills cleanse the

They do not gripe, slcken or weaken.
