SOLDIERS' COUPONS
a! handy form of gift.
A. new-scheme for reaching soldiers-C/ri active service with gifts-from their friends and relatives has just been set on foot hy the V.M.C.A. with every; prospects of meeting a widely-felt need. Acting promptly on the suggestion of a soldier, it has completed ■ arrangements' for the issue of threepenny coupons, ill neat little booklets ■of ten and. twenty, that can be conveniently enclosed in a letter. These coupons are redeemable in goods at any of the V.M.C.A.; canteens, which are to be found practically, wherever the men are. An initial order for 100,000 of these booklets, some at half-ai-crown, and some at. teD shillings, is already in the printer's hands in Wellington. The obvious advantage of these coupons is that they provide a specially -convenient and attractively sJmslßmeans of sending small'sums of money to the front, where they can bo readily turned into eatables or some other requirement of the moment, procurable at the V.M.C.A. huts. :",
