SEND THE CHEER

While the question OF what to
write to soldiers may seem d
Worn-out topic to some it will re-
main a very live topic until ev-
eryone who writes to a soldier in
France has learned what crimi-
nal offense it is to permit his or
her letters to carry with them,
even in small degree, a spirit Of
gloom. A depressing letter re-
cciyed by a soldier just before
he goes INTO a battle may so
work upon his spirit that he has
less than half the chance to come
out whole that he would have had
when filled with encouragement
from the home folks. We have
perhaps little conception of the
psychological effect Of letter
and what it may contain. Ii may
easily nerve him up to the BRAY
est endeavors, or it may plunge
him into such despair that he
cares not whether llun bullet
may get him or not.
It has been recorded that a
wife wrote her husband that she
was distracted with uhhappiness
because he was so far away, and
that soldier deserted, which
means that he will be shot and
the wife will be a widow. 9th
ers maysWrite and tell the family
worries, and the soldier, being
too far away to dosany good for
bis people, viii simply worry the
more until moping unfits him for
his duty Ii is not supposed that
anyone should lie to keep his
courage up, but it is a mistake

There are plenty Of cheerful
