DOLLS FOR SOLDIERS KIDDIEs

~ The work of the doll bazar is progress sing splenddly and with the aid of the generous public the children's hospital and the soldiers children, too, will be benefited. In talking to Mrs. Hale Tarraut oneA of the most interested workers, she said:
 You really should have attended the meeting of Mrs. Jordan's committee and heard the reports of those women who are going to ask you to buy a doll for the children of our Alabama soldiers 1 know you are going to buy the dolls, you just cant help it, and then if you could have heard as we did one mother tell of a letter from one father over there last Christmas when his whole thought seemed to have turned to his
 little girl at home, he wanted so much to get her a doll for Christmas, and said
 there were men all around him who would give all they had just to know that their children were having sChristmas at
 home. This is what the dolls bazaar will
 mean to the children of our soldiers this
 year. there is list of these children in the home department of the Red Cross
 and every child will have doll this Christmas You only need send check to
 Mrs. Mortimer Jordan, not necessarily the price of a doll, but any amount you want to give. the doll goes to the sol4 dier's child, the money goes to help the childrens hospital.
 At this meeting the other day one of
 the women said that she had asked her family not to give her anything for Christmas, but to put all that was for her into dolls for soldiers children. Think | of the amount of good your money spent lin this way will do, the happiness of iAsome child secured, the father, fighting l for you and yours made happy too, and | the hospital helped, what more could 1 one ask?
