up to the minute, and hundreds
are kept busy correcting address
ses on mail. e.
The American doughboy in France
has become the worlds most prolific
letter writer.
There's one central postoffice for
the army over here tina: each day
handles more than 100000 pieces Of
intra-France mail; by "intra-France,"
meaning letters that one American
soldier writes to another. in France.
This enormous volume of mail mat.
ter does not take into account at all
the millions Of letters that the Amer
lean soldiers write home every week
No wonder the Y. M. C. A., which
furnishes practically all the writing
paper and envelopes for the army's
correspondence, will be required to
spend more than two and quarter
million dollars for stationery alone in
1919.
The officers in charge Of the arny's
central postoffice was formerly super
intendent Of mails in a large A1neri-.
can city. .,-
Handling mail at home was child's
play compared to what it is over
here" he said, "for the reason that
nearly every unit in our army is con-
stantly on the move, and each day
has seen thousands Of men changed
about from one outfit to another.
I'VE find that just about half Of all
letters that are written by one soldier
in France to another in France is in
correctly addressed.
"This makes it necessary to employ
seveSal hundred men who do nothing
but correct addresses. ~
'Tn connection with the pos1office
is the army statistical bureau, where
is kept, right up to the minute,
card index OF every soldier in France.
AS soon as a man is transferred from
one outfit to another or leaves his
company to go to hospital that fact
is sent to the bureau and Il notatiOn
made on hrs card. When mail adj
dressed to him comes back to this Of
flee, having failed to connect with him
we look up his card and forward his
mail" -
There has heen a vast improvement
in the mail service in recent months,
and it is not often that complaints
are now heard that boy has gone
two or three months without a letter
from home. and then, in one day, re-
ceives a packet of ten or twelve. 49,
This condition was the outgrowth
Of the sudden expansion of the army
in France. With new troops pouring
in at rate of a quarter Of q million
month and thousands of transfers
being made every day; it was, for a
while, next to impossible to follow
up boys various changes with any
degree of speed. ~ .
The army's letters to the folks at
home go direct to the port cities, and
there are put aboard the first Ameri-
can ship sailing. - ~ -.

Origin of Toasts.

The custom OF drinking tossts, it
is said, originated in this way: Dur
ing the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the most popular bever.
ages in England were sack, canary,
cIaret, sherry. and other wines, to
which IL WAS necessary to add
honey, sugar. ginger, cinnamon.
nutmeg, and other ingredients: also
a piece OF toast, which fioated on
the liquor and was supposed to give
IL an additional flavor.
In the eighteenth century Dr.
Johnson relates that d certain beau.
while at Bath, pledged noted
beauty in a glass OF water taken
from her bathtub: wheHeupon an
other roysterer said that he would
have the toast--that Is. the lady
herself From this Incident arose
the habit OF giving q lady's name
as n toast to prscede the drinking
CT wine.
Later the word has come TO mean
the announcement OF any sentiment
