We all talk too much.
Volubility and verbosity inevitably
result in more or less misstatement of
facts, in exaggerated and unnecessary
embellishment in which truth is un-
wittingly, or wittingly, handled
roughly, because in such speaking not
enough consideration can be given

as well. Hence the havoc possible to
be wrought by voicing ill-considered
or doubtful words, for they convey

Man is the only creature of God

of others the love-laden messages
which come to him. A holy use of this
favored gift is certain to bless.

| If improved physical condition is an ]Jtter
j argument for military training, the
best argument along this line to be
i found in Texas can be seen at Camp
. Travis. It is not stating other than
bare facts to assert that the soldiers
now at Camp Travis are not the same
men, physically, they were when they
first reached this cantonment.
This improvement in the physical be-
ing of the soldiers is not due to any
accident. It is the result of systematic
and scientific training. This training-
has been given in such an interesting
and entertaining way that the soldiers
i who have taken it were unaware that
it was part of the work cut out for
them to do; they thinking that it was
jus
feeling that can't be accurately de- |
scribed in the hearts of the soldier j
boys that, when they don't hear from !
their sweethearts, perhaps some fel-
low who is at k'ast 35 percent slacker
has cut a corner and has gotten in the
good graces of the "girl left behind."
The more letters the soldiers receive,
the bettef soldiers they are. and then |

All of your laundry for one month,
no matter how much, at a flat rate
of $1.50. That is what Uncle Sam's j
bisr laundry at Camp Travis charges
soldier boys and collects at the end of
the month. The Soap Suds factory is
the largest of its kind in the world and
contains some of the most modern and
expensive laundry machinery. The task
of sorting and classifying laundry for
30,000 soldiers is no small task when
it nj^ist be taken into consideration
that all j/ these clothes are exactly
alike. This giant laundry docs even

Camp Travis, as a result of this sensi-
hie last shoe, has been a total failure.
