Soldiers going to France should take
a good supply of toilet articles, dental
and shaving outfits, a small two-inch
bandage, some antiseptic, and court
plaster. A wrist watch and a com
pass, luminous at night and necessary,
and the boys should learn how to use
the compass and how to find their way
at night without any light whatsoever.
They should have a good simple water-*
proof pocketbook, fitting in the pocket,
but large enough to contain writing
paper, and with a space to put photo
graphs. Under no circumstances should
they put their identification tags In
side a -locket. This tag is sacred and
should be left alone. The photographs
of their beloved ones will find a place
in their pocketbook.
Gifts to Soldiers.
Packages of Cube Sugar, bars of
chocolate, can be given or sent to them.
This preferably to candy,-because the
candy will be spoiled in transit and
also because the body will not burn
all that is in the candy and that will
make the men thirsty. A good toilet
kit is a good gift but it should be sim
ple and light. The people should al
ways keep in mind that the boys will
have to carry most of the things they
have with them. Fountain pens and
writing material, make good gifts.
Money in France.
A dollar is worth nominally five
francs. At the rate of exchange to
day it is worth five francs, sixty-five
centimes which means that a boy paid
$33 a month will have more than a
hundred and eighty francs to spend,
which is far too much. You can buy
today in France for seventy-five cents
a meal which you would not have in
New York or in Ohio for $2.50- And
the boys will have all they want and all
they need for six to ten dollars. Ac
cordingly, they should not be given
money and they have no special rea
son to take gold with them, as gold
does not carry any special weight over
paper money over there.
To Mothers and Wives.
Write as much as you can to the

TRENCH AND CAMP
boys. Remember that a man who has
not a woman to fight for will not fight
well and the letters are as important to
him as the bread and the munitions.
Write him cheerful letters, keep smil
ing and kep him smiling. Tell him
in your letters all about home. Send
him snapshots of your home life. It
will not make him homesick, because
when he is in France he will realize
too late that he is fighting for him
home, his women.
WRITE HOME TO MOTHER.
Write, home to mother, hoys.
Because she is your best friend;
It is only she that knows;
She will stick unto the end.
When you are feeling blue.
And have nothing else to do,
Write home to mother, boys,
She always thinks of you.
When nothing comes your way,
And it’s a hard, hard day;
Write Lome to mother, boys,
From the nearest Y. M. C. A.

TO OUR SOLDIER BOYS.
Hail to our brave young soldiers
In the training camps tonight,
Eagerly waiting the orders ,
That will take them into the fight.
Our hearts go out-—not in pity,
For a strong man pity scorns, —■
But in speechless admiration
For your path is strewn with thorns.
The way will be long and weary,
The burden will not be light,
But we send you to it gladly,
’Tis for God and Right you fight!
So three cheers for our boys in khaki;
Be they here or across the foam,
And hasen the day when we may say,
“Our boys are coming home.

Hoover*s Goin *
To Get You
BY MABLE I. CLAPP.
The darned old Hoover pledga has come
to our house to stay;
To frown our breakfast bacon down,
and take our steak away;
It cans our morning waffles, and our
sausage, too, it seems,
And dilates on the succulence of corn,
and spuds, and beans.
So skimp the sugar in your cake and
leave the butter out,
Or Hoover’s going to get you if you
Don’t

Out!
Oh, gone now are the good old days of
hot cakes thickly spread;
And meatless, wheatless, hopeless days
are reigning in their stead;
And gone the days of fat rib rosts,
and two-inch T-bone steaks,
And doughnuts plump and golden
brown, the kind that mother
make?.
And when it comes to pie and dake, just
learn to cut it out,
Or Hoover’s goin’ to get you if you
Don’t
Watch
Out!
So spread your buckwheat sparingly.

And tighten up your belt a notch and
