A SUGGEsTIoN-INDIAR UBBER BLANK
ETs FOR SOLDIERS GIFTs.-We heard a
suggestion from faithful and experienced
officer of the veteran 9Th Ohio-One who
cares for, and shares the hardships of cam
! paigning with, his men-that an india rub
Der blanket is the best and most acceptable
gift possible, to a soldier in the field. AS it
can come only from home, he values and
takes care Of it. This blanket is the pri-
vate soldiers greatest comfort, keeps him
out of the hospital and saves many a life.
Let the india rubber blanket be pre-emi-
nently the soldiers gift from his friends at
home. Pass round the suggestion.-C Gin.
