SOLDIERS' COUPONS.
A HANDY FORM OF GIFT.
A new scheme for reaching our soldiers on Active Service with gifts from their friends and relatives has just been set on foot by the V.M.C.A., with every prospect of meeting a widely-felt need. Acting promptly on the suggestion of a soldier it has completed arrangements for the issueof threepenny coupons in neat little booklets of ten and twenty that can be conveniently enclosed -in a letter. These coupons are redeemable in 'goods at any of the V.M.C.A. canteens, ( which are to be found practically whereever the men are. An initial order for 100,000 of these booklets, some at 2s 6d and some at ss, is already in the printers' hands in Wellington. The scheme has the approval of the Government, and the Postal authorities have consented to handle the coupons and see to their ' distribution. The booklets will be procurable at Money Order Offices throughout the Dominion.
