| 3. Buy a small indiu rubber blanket (only
51,50) to lay on the ground or to throw over ‘
your shoulders when on guard during a !
tain storm. Most of the Eastern troops are
provided with these, htraw te lie on is not al
j ways to be had.
.°3. The best military hat in use is the light-,
colored soft felt; the crown being sufficiently
high to allow space for air .ovvr the brtua. -
You can fasten it up as a continental in fair
weather or turn it down wlyrf *it i.s w,pt ur very

5. Let your beard grow, so as to protect the
