1t Is natural that we should be eager
to do whatever we can for the boys

tr1otic zeal is not accompanied by a
sympathetic imagination, the benefl-
c1ary may pray to be delivered from
our friends, writes "An American

A homesick lad is likely to want
either an atmosphere like that of his
own home or else the exotic flavor the
expectation of which has helped him
to undertake the great adventure so
cheerily.
In one family among my neighbors
the son of the house was scandaliZed
when one of their guests at Sunday
dinner made the perfectly simple and
natural request that he be permitted
after the meal to repair to the kitchen
where the pretty waitress was. Per-
mission was denied, but young Romeo
was not discouraged, and this letter
came 'To the Girl That Waits for Mrs
So-and-So: You are the best ever.

American, Harvard unit man, named

patients who had been wounded in the

floor in fit. They brought him round,
and then looked for the ward orderly
to carry the patient back to his bed
at the other end of the ward. The Or.

When Horses Get "Pipped"

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw it is not sent
down to the veterinary lines, but is
kept to be tended by it's driver.
Then 1t is that good drivers care
comes in, for the men tend them most
carefully, feeding them by hand, boil
ing their oats, making them mashes,
and spending most Of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. It is this personal
care of the man for his horse that has
been the cause of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own units again; for
mans care is by no means transferred
to the same extent to a new team of
horses.
