One
half a canteen of water is sufficient for you on any march you will have
to make. After you arrive in camp and have cooled off a little, drink as
much water as you desire, but do so slowly.
CARE OF THE FEET
The infantryman's feet are his means of transportation. If you care for
them properly, you will be rewarded.
1. Wash and dry the feet carefully and put on clean socks as soon as
practicable after getting into camp.
2. Wash out the socks you have been wearing and hang them out to dry.
3. Do not wear socks with holes in them if you can possibly avoid it.
Should a hole begin to cause rubbing, turn the sock inside out or change
it to the other foot.
4. Just as soon as you decide to attend a training camp or join the
colors, cut your toe nails square across the ends so they will not grow
in.
5. In case of any foot trouble that you cannot relieve, report to the
surgeon at once. Don't wait until you cannot march before reporting.
6. A Treatment for Blisters. Be careful not to tear off the skin
covering the blister.
