ART STUDENT TELLS SECRET
Essy Method by Which He Secured
Clean Shirt Without lncurring
Bills for Laundry.

Hurry Lachman, the young American
nainter, whose work has captivated
10th London and Paris, said in a Pic
radilly restaurant
1--WE American art students are so
accustomed To privations while pur-
suing our studies that the privatlOns
Of the trenches should be nothing to US.
81 know an art student who claims
hat he a always have Il clean shirt
without cver getting any washing done.
As such a secret would be valuable to
,ur young soldiers at the front, I
'ooked the student up and asked him
bout II.
Yes he said, with no little pride,
It's quite true. I only WI two shirts,
iet | can always change to IL clean one,
and my laundry bill Is zero. The
scheme, you see. Is this. You put on a
shirt and wear it n week or two. Then
you put on the other n and wear 1t
three weeks, or till It's so dirty that
The first one seems clean by COMPARE
son. You then go back to the first
shirt, and 50 on indefinitely"

WHAT to SEND
BOYS IN CAME

Our bows become very tired OF eat
'ne government straights," AS they
all the army ratfons, and are glad
indeed to get boxes from home. The
government rations are nutritious and
plentiful. but they lack the home
touch. Fortunate. indeed, is the boy
who has q mother or devoted sister
yes, or a sweetheart-who supplements
this plain living with "eats" from home.
The boys in the training camp are
learning to be soldiers. and they. Ill

ian recreations so that when we at
tempt to introduce a bit Of Joy into
our boys life we fall back upon 'eats."
If our boys had a pet food at home we
at once think of sending him h a food.
IL he is nearby we send him cake and
fancy breads. cheese and even roasted
chicken IL the weather permits.
If the boy had his way he woul ask
cakes. cookies. pies. doughnuts. candies.
ETC.. to supplement government

The writer recently saw a letter
which a soldier in the regular army
wrote mis- sister to thank her for q box

her how good 1t all was. he added:
