Every Little Helps.

Italy makes excellent use of her waste paper. It Is made into a cheap and portable fuel for the soldiers. Boys and girls go about the cities collecting all the discarded newspapers they can find. These are brought to establishments where the sheets are converted by machinery Into little tight rolls about an inch In diameter and two Indies long, which are packed into small bags and dispatched to the army. This compressed paper fuel is most convenient; whenever an Individual soldier wishes to warm up a mugful of soup or coffee.
