MANCHESTER DEPOT
TO COAL CONSUMERS

The time is near when you will be
looking for coal. Our local dealers
have the coal. If you have filed out
the necessary requisition one third Of
the amount asked for may be deliv-
cred. The government says that deal
ers are not required TO deliver coal
without the cash. There probably will
be no time this year when you will
have more money TO spend than now.
The advice Of the local fuel admins
traitors is that you take your money to
your coal dealer NOW and and get
your coal. There may be none later
on. Don't delay in this matter.

A LETTER FROM FRANCE
TO THE BAND OF MERCY

Villa Desiree, Guethary, Bases
Pyrenees, France, Aug. II, 1918.
Dear Manchester Children
| have just received the money
order that you sent me for the poor
children Of France whom ] am trying
to help here, and do you know that
was so astonished at the size Of it
that couldn't believe my eyes
Thirty-five dollars-Do you know that
that makes more than hundred and
seventy-five francs?
But you don't know, and | hope,
with all my heart you never will, how
terribly the little children Of France
have suffered by the war, nor how
bitterly they need help, nor how
thankfully they receive it. ! hope
that every one Of you will think every
night as you drop off to sleep in your
comfortable beds, well, | deserve my
good bed because | have sent help
across the ocean to little children in
trouble" And If you don't sleep bet
ter because of that thought, I'll be
much surprised. You oughn't ever to
have single nightmare among you.
! wish | could have seen your play,
to compare it with little bird-play
that my Sally took part in once. She
was the little wren, because she was
the littlest Of all, but she played with
the bluebirds. ] wonder if somebody
didn't take some photographs Of you
in your costumes I'd like so much
to see them.
And ! send you all big hug, and as
many thanks as Miss Cleghorn can get
into words for me.
Gratefully yours,
DOROTHY CANFlELD FISHER.
