PRESENTS AND TESTIMONIALS.
1. Officers are expected to refuse utterly, and to prevent, if possible,
even the proposal of any present or testimonial to them.
2. Of course, an Officer who is receiving no salary, or only part salary,
may accept food or other gifts, such as are needed to meet his wants; but
it is dishonourable for any one who is receiving their salary to accept
gifts of food also.
