SEND TOBACCO KIT
To SOJER IN FRANCE

1t takes only 25 cents to send a kit
of tobacco to some soldier in France
and receive an acknowledgement OF
the same. Send or leave a quarter al
the Watertown. News office and it will
be taken care of for you.
Tobacco in the army is like water
at a spring. 1t doesn't amount tO
much when everyone has it, but there
isn't a place in the world where the
old adage-"you'H never miss the wa
ter till the well runs dry'-stands
out in such ugly relief, as in a mill
tary company shy Of tobacco.
You may argue that smoking is a
bad habit, and that nicotine is a dead
ly narcotic, but the fellows lover
there" want and need tobacco
The question up to you is whether
you are going to send it to them or
hand them tracts dealing with a per-
nicious habit.
If man is in a trench for you and
wants a smoke, are you willing he
should have it?
American tobacco is scarce in
France. That is why the fund is being
collected. Do your bit now. The price
you pay can't go wrong.
