still have Him if all the rest are gone
It's all the soldiers need, more love, more

everyone. His only hardship is lone

ness, his only want is more love.
I have written more than I expected
perhaps said more that I should but in
closing may I add what Kipling said in
1914 which is still, oh, so true today and
which means we must all knuckle down
to the most we have in us and in your
spare minutes if there is nothing else to
do just remember what the soldier needs,
not money, not clothes, not goodies
only love.
No easy hopes or ties
Shall bring us to our goal,
But iron sacrifice

I'm company censor, and sometimes
I note things in the letters. It's a
wonderful way to study Psychology.
Here are few. Don't send any money
I have all l need. Just write often and

I'm talking about mail so much be-

them often If you haven't find one

You've get nearly all that matters
You've got God, and God is love.

the same result may be obtained by al
lowing the clothes to stand for a while
in hot soapsuds; the heat expands the
fibre and the aliCali of the soap softens
and removes the dirt, and the washing is
made much easier.
There are some splendid washing ma

of course, OF that serene day when we
all own electric washers and may be able
to contemplate our snowy wash upon
the line after a few moments of playful

Il am always Careful in planning the

to have fried or boiled meats, for the
