"The Plattsburg Manual A Handbook for Military Training"

This is a very important item and should not be neglected. If
your shoes are too large, blisters will result; if too small, your
foot will be cramped, and every step will be painful.
b. Break your shoes in prior to the practice march.
c. Keep your shoes well oiled so they will be soft and pliable and
keep out water.
d. If your shoes get wet on the inside heat some small pebbles (not
so hot as to burn leather) and keep them inside the shoes until dry.

CAMP SANITATION
In camp you are really your brother's keeper. It is the duty of every
man to keep the camp clean, sanitary, and livable. Constantly bear in
mind that a great number of men are living together in a very small
area; that food is being prepared in the open; that there are no sewers;
and that the ground or dust and streams must not be polluted. Obey
conscientiously and diligently the following rules:
1. Don't take food to your tent.
2. Use the latrines that are provided.
3. When possible bathe each day as soon as practicable after you arrive
at camp.
