WHAT "SMILEAGE" WILL DO
FOR OUR SOLDIERS.

The Military Entertainment coun-
Gil has originated type of book of
tickets that members of the soldiers
family and his friends may send to
him at the front. They are to be
called ''Smileage Books" and will be
made up of coupons somewhat like
the mileage books of the railroads.
In books of one size, twenty cou.
pons will be sold for dollar. In
books of another size, 100 will be
sold for five dollars. These coupons
will be good for payment for seats
at any performance in any camp
theatre.
AS gifts these Smileage Books will
have rather a distinctive character.
Each time the soldier tears coupons
from his book, he will renew his
sense of attention from the sender.
Every book will constitute current
of interest between the man at the
front and the folks back home. Of,
ten, Of course, one soldier will re-
ceive many books; and then he will
do the thing that is characteristic of
the American soldier througout our
history-he will share his abund-
ance with his mates.
The result will be to change, a
danger period in the life of the
soldier into a period of healthful
relaxation and refreshment.
