smiles are greeted. He will prob

Clean Army
Perhaps the cleanest body of men
ever assembled was General Per¬
shing’s army when ready to go over
the top. The life of continence is es¬
sential to the athlete, the soldier and
under all conditions where manhood
in its fullest sense is demanded.
Is that demand any more urgent
to the army than to every day life?
