States. The coming Of spring has
brought many requests from these sta

contributions of such literature are re-
quested. With the practical eye of the
nations homekeepers. members Of the
league believe. now that the spring
housecleaning season is here, there may
be an extra allotment OF magazines and
books for the soldiers.
The genuine pleasure these periodicals
give the soldiers is not TO be discounted.
They read them eagerly, each finding
a sort OF massage from home within the
pages. One lot is torn. thumb-marked,
and almost worn out before another as
