In view of the fact that the post
office department has been COM
| PEELED TO cut down on the number
and weight of packages dispatched
| from America to soldiers in the war
| zone, ii is interesting to mothers and
! relatives of soldiers to learn that the
/ Red Cross still has facilities TO for
ward many articles much needed
and desired by the troops The Red
Cross is not in position to send
a consignment of these articles di-
rect to one soldier but sends them
| for an equitable distribution among
all the soldiers from America at the
| French front A group of patriotic
and public spirited women could do
an immense amount of good. Red
| Cross executives point out, II they
would collect and send n package
containing all or some OF the follow
/ ing articles. pencils, postal cards,
| knives, steel mirrors, khaki hand
! kerchiefs, electric torches, COM
| passes. playing cards, knives games

! water-tight match boxes. chewing
gum, foot powder, cold cream, tooth
/ brushes, tooth powder, tooth paste.
