FOR OUR BOYS.

Mrs Bolt, a Wanganui White Ribboner, received a letter from a White Ribbon sister in South Africa, telling her how she had seen Mrs Bolt's son wher. the New Zealand troops were at the Cape. Also incidentally she told much of the work our women are doing for the colonial troops passing through on their way to the seat of war. The writer tells how the work began by letteis sent out to the boys. It has been suggested that many New Zealand White Ribboners might like to give their boys a similar letter. We print below the letter/and it any member would like some copies the* can get them by applying to Mrs Moulder, 108, Wallace Street, Wellington.
