Never before in military history have the comforts of the soldier boys been looked after with more complete supervision than during tho present emergency. ' Mis takes which prevailed during the Spanish war havo been provided against, with the result that 'govern ment, state, county and , municipal efforts vie witli each other in sup plying every requisite. Add to these tho loving remembrances afforded by the individual conation und the ser vice would seem to be well nigh com plete. In reserve there yet remains the Red Cross, flonof Guard Girls and Army Y. M. 0. A. units us addi tional factors inelicf and personal comfort work. Tnko First company of this citv, for instance, nnd for that matter all tho regimental units linvo been re membered in like generous measure. Supplementing government equipment the average soldier was provided, either by organization or relatives nnd friends, with razor, strop, and mug, kerchief and towels, tooth brushes, toothpicks and without in vading the beauty parlor, various in dispensable toilet accessories were added to the kit, us supplied by lov ing friends ut home, all being "hous ed" in roomy, comfort bags. If any of the boys have been neglected in this respect, "first aid" will be speed ily rendered upon making tho omis sion known. Supplementing tho army ration, supplies are to be sent from home, including the substantial and a fair share of delicacies. Meetings have been recently held here with this ob ject in view, nnd the result is that the work will be conducted along syste matic lines, the extra rations from home to be sent to 1 lie camps nt stat ed intervals, not ill quantities to glut the military commissariat but in measure to afford a welcome depar ture occasionally from uccustomcd nrmy faro.
