3. Eat and drink moderately. Chew your food well. It is advisable,
however, to drink a great deal of cool (not cold) water between
meals.
4. Don't eat between meals.
5. Accustom yourself to regular hours as to sleeping, eating, and
the morning functions.
6. Keep away from all soda fountains and soft drink stands.
7. For at least two weeks prior to your arrival at camp, take
regularly the exercises described in this book.
Most men are troubled with their feet during the first week of each
camp, usually because they do not observe the following precautions:
1. If you have ever had trouble with the arches of your feet, wear
braces for them.
2. Lace your shoe as tightly as comfort will permit.
3. Wash the feet daily.
4. Every morning shake a little talcum powder or "Foot Ease" in
each shoe.
5. Each morning put on a fresh pair of socks. Your socks should fit
the feet so neatly that no wrinkles remain in them and yet not be
so tight that they bind the foot.
