They are doing many things to re lieve the veterans’ sufferings, to re assure these men that they are not forgotten and are helping them to while away the time that passes so slowly. Perhaps the most enjoyed of the things the Auxiliary women have fur nished is the fully equipped kitchen ette which has been installed. Here the boys may cook their own meals. They also have their own mess-kits, reminiscent of army days. Here they may free themselves now and then from the weary routine of mess hall fare. The Auxiliary sends big boxes of foods to the veterans. Their appe tites have not been dulled in the least by the disease which afflicts them. Amusements have been provided by the Auxiliary. Motion picture shows have been arranged for once each week. A high-powered radio set has been installed. Reading matter ga lore has been provided for the Car- ville library. All this, and much more besides, the Legion Auxiliary has done. And, when one of the boys loses in the struggle, the Auxiliary has arranged that his body shall be hermetically sealed and brought to his home for burial with full military honors.
