Rattray and Son, Ltd 500 DON'T WAIT FOR COLLECTORS. If the Y.M.C.A. war work has your sympathy—and what patriotic soul cnn resist its appeal for tho boys ? —post your cheques to the lion, treasurer, box 424, Dunedin. Contributions from residents in out-of-the-way places will be credited to the district from which they come. DOESN'T THIS STORY PROVE ITS WORTH ? Tn a letter to his mother a young New Zealand soldier says : " Thero is one thing I would like you to do, and that is I want you to givo £5 of my money to the Y.M.C.A., as they do more for the troops than any other institution going. Their's is the only institute that is game to go up to the firing line; it doesn't matter what time you go there you can get a drink of cocoa or beef tea. The day we wore on stretc.her-bea.ring tliev must have put on tea and cocoa for 3,000 men, and the way they look after the wounded it fairly made you wish you hadn't given money to any other institute."
