at the base hospital at Fort Riley. has
this to say regarding the answer to
the appeal sent out by Mrs Noble
Prentis for home cooked del1cac1eS Tor
the boys:
The campaign for homo-cooked
dainties for men in the hospital started
last week has resulted in an increased
interest thruout the state in the sick
and wounded boys. Shipments of
delicacies already have increased tho
the campaign is not more than
week old Mrs. Prentis who had been
hostess at the Kansas building during
the rehabilitation of the Thirty-fifth
division is back of the movement
which is to bring the home touch
into the wards.
As a direct result of Mrs. Prentis'
efforts a promise has been given by
the Women's City club of Kansas City.
to contribute food every other Wednes-
day. The first shipment was received
Yesterday by the Red Cross in charge
of the distribution. Also the Rota
club of Topeka, is active and its first
contribution was the hundreds of car
| nations delivered by its members in
person last Sunday. On Monday
delegation of Topeka Red Cross work
ers came to Fort Riley loaded with
| delicacies and distributed them among
the boys Mrs. Prentis now is en-
deavoring to interest organizations in
Salina and Wichita, and no doubt the
| same results will be obtained.
1t is suggested by Mrs. Prentis that
persons living near the post could
/ best serve by contributing fresh veg
| etables from their gardens, things
which would not bear shipment from
distance. Such things are greatly
relished by the boys as she has found
by observation during her visits in the
wards"
