 His morals will not be contam- mated in France.
 NJ. Stephen Lauzanne, editor of Le Matin, and a member of the French Ministry. told me recently that he believed the morals of France, outside of Paris, were the best in the world. Your boy will not be permitted to go to Paris on his furlough. General Pershing hay- ing issued an order forbidding 1t. Tom will spend his furloughs in beautiful rural spots of France. at celebrated baths, safe and happy.
 Should reactions from trench fighting or camp mOnotony goad our soldier boy to crave dissipation, the Y. NJ. C. A. workers are at his elbow to assist, to divert, amuse ard instruct. The physical instructoD are there to encourage participation in vigorous. happy games whica shake out the blues, chaser de cafard," as the French say. Home runs are being batted on shell-pitted fields and other American games are diverting the boys behind the lines. The Y. NJ. c.

 WHEN HE RETURNS TO YOU
 One serious thought with a word of comfort in closing:
 You may read soon-probably be- fore this is published, lists from the battle front of American boys killed or wounded. If the numbers seem great and cause anxious fear to clutch your heart, remember that we are dealing in vast figures. Compared with the number of men involved the casualties will show proportiOnately very small. The
 great majority of American boys
 who went over or are going over
 there will return to America, much

T7 OR the Spartan mothers of America who have sent their = sturdy sons to battle for
 America and Eternal Liberty, I have a message-the message they desire. It answers the ques- Mons that mothers would ask about shefr soldier sons, not concerning the perils of battle. but about the esngers of camp. A sense of duty i, .Expels them to say, "Go, my son." yet their mothers hearts are anxi- ous to know how their boys are being cared for--it will tighten their load to know that every pro- vision compatible with the stern realities of war has been made for their comfort and protection.

 Food is abundant wholesome, nutritious. Skilled dieticlans de- termine the proper proportion of food essentials and have regulated menus to assure your son an evenly balanced diet. He does not get so much candy and pie as a self-in- dulgent appetite might desire, but plenty of wholesome bodybuilding food, as good as his superior of- ticers eat.

 PROTECTED IN WINTER.
 Failurc to clothe recruits proper ly was charged last winter. in the tremendous task of raising an army of more than a million men quickly, no doubt some did not receive over coats immediately. These instances were few. The published char ges were much exaggerated. The officers took care to see that the men who had not been clothed properly were protected otherwise from winters rigors. Moreover, boys engaged in their strenuous work they did not need as heavy clothing as at home What they wear is determined accurately ac' cording to health requirements.

The report of the Chief Medical Officer at Camp Lee. representing an average health report of all At lantic coast cantonments, showed that from September 5 to 16 the average non-effective rate from sickness of all sort was l.5 per cent, meaning that three boys out of every two hundred were laid un by illness.
