Bring a Little 

 To the Boys 



'eep the Home Fires Burning" in their 

 hearts as well as on our hearths. Don't 

 let them forget that over here a 

 hundred million loyal backers are with them 

 heart and soul. Don't let them feel they are 

 forgotten ; strengthen the bonds between them 

 and their home country. 



You can help do this for a million, two 

 million boys who have gone to fight in a 

 strange land. Give to them freely through 

 the Y. M. C. A. and you will be giving them 

 the little comforts that look ten times as big 

 over there — free books and magazines, free 

 writing paper, and a hundred of the lesser 

 necessities — shaving materials, foot powder, 

 needles and thread, etc. — at less than cost. 

 You will be giving them entertainment of a 

 wholesome, clean sort — music, "movies," lee-

 at the Front 



tures on instructive and interesting topics. 

 You will be giving them the means of engag- 

 ing in athletic sports, invaluable in keeping 

 men in good physical and mental condition. 

 You will be giving them instruction in French, 

 Italian, English, if needed, history, geography, 

 etc. You will be giving them the opportunity 

 to attend religious services of a broad, non- 

 sectarian character. 



These things are more than comforts — they 

 are necessities to men engaged in exhausting 

 and nerve-racking warfare. They keep hearts 

 strong and courage high. And by giving them 

 these simple pleasures and lesser essentials, 

 you show your gratitude for those who are 

 giving their lives. Open your heart and purse 

 freely and pay, in so far as you can, your 

 debt to them.

 Campaign, with the budgets distributed as follows: Y. M. C. A., $100,000,000; Y. W. C. A.,
