The Coat for the Practical Soldier 
T ET the sleet slash its hardest, the wind shout its loudest, rain beat and 
pour, frost gnaw and mumble, clammy Flanders fog crawl and creep 
—they won't find a way through your " Thresher." 
The inner warmth-lining keeps you in the warm glow that means not only 
comhjrt, but fighting efficiency— a warm soldier's a better soldier than a cold 
soldier. But no warmth-lining will keep out cold if it gets damp— so 
outside It IS the special " Thresher " waterproof lining which gives the 
absolute uncompromising " na-poo " to wet in any form. Then to take 
the rough wear and tear of trench work you have the outside shell of hard 
kliaki dnll— Itself practically waterproof and with a smooth surface very 
disappointing to mud. Take all that with the freedom cut of the thin- 
and the cleverly simple fastenings at neck and wrists and you have the 
pnictiral soldiering coat which the War Office recommends, which 14,000 
officers wear and which is copied so copiously and so ineffectively.

God for the Empire— the Empire for God 
— ^^ 
Born within the Empire, and now spread far beyond its remotest 
outposts, the Salvation Army, in its manifold activities for the 
material, moral, and spiritual welfare of mankind, is a corporate 
'■xample of Christian Patriotism. Under God, it has saved to 
the Empire thousands of men and women who otherwise 
would have rotted at the Nation's heart and threatened 
its undoing. It exists for one purpose only — to do 
good ; and' in its interpretation of that purpose it 
treats man as a spiritual being. From its low- 
liest soldier to its General it toils 
FOR GOD AND THE EMPIRE. 
\^'hen War broke out it at once proved itself
