Mothers and wives of sol- diers can profit by reading the fol- lowing letter from Major-General H. A. Greene, formerly in com- mand at Camp Lewis, who has outlined the kind of letter to write to your soldier boy. He says: If you want the soldier you love best to be a good soldier, leave the tears out of your letter, and tell him instead how “Shep licked the stuffing out of the butcher’s dog yesterday and then caught the butcher by the seat of his breeches as he was going over the fence—both hanging over the fence until pried loose.” Cut out the sob-sfuff. Tell him the little things that are happen- ing. Don’t tell your soldier what a sacrifice he is making for his country, and how homesick he must be, and how you miss him. He knows the sacrifice he is mak- ing, and if he.-isa-good -son or brother, you may rest assured that when he has leisure in which to . meditate, he will suffer homesick- | ness, and will think of how you miss him. Many and many a man has had the blue devils driven away by an old home paper that told him that} Mrs. J. A. Kellar nearly a month | Packages should not exceed from “Deacon Henderson shingled his | barn last week and. fell through the roof and broke the old cow’s back in two places.” All of us, I guess, have suffered from home- sickness—I . know I have. There is just one remedy for a homesick soldier—letters from home. Write often, even if you only have time to scribble a post card. Mail- time is a happy time in the army.
