Comforts for the Soldiers.

An air cushion is worth its weight in gold to the man in the trenches. These can be bought in various sizes and when not in use fit into a small rubberized envelope. “I would rather lose my whole kit bag than that air cushion,” one of the returned soldiers told me. “It is great to have something soft to lay your head on, after hours and hours of tramping.” Tablet ink also deserves mention. This can be dissolved In water and makes a splendid writing fluid. Fountain pens have a habit of running dry, and sometimes ink Is hard to get.—Woman’s Home Companion.
