Mauazines for Soldiers.

The War Department is asking for
more magazines for the soldiers in
the various camps. While the re-
Spouse to this request made some time
ago has been generous, it has not fur
nished enough to go around, and with
the increased number of men in the
camps an increased supply is needed.
Magazines should be of current or
comparatively recent issue and devot-
ed to literature or contain articles
of general interest. When you have
finished reading your magazine, just
place a one cent stamp on the notice
near the upper right hand corner OF
the magazine and hand it in at the
post office and it will be sent to the
central office for distribution to camps.
