Letters aave been received from several of the boys at the front acknowledging the parcels sent, io them from the people of Naseby in November of last year. D. Archer, A. Brown, J. Brown, H. Hore, D. Inder, H. Jacob, A. Jacob, N. McAlister, A. Marshall, G. O'Malley, P. O'Malley have all received their parcels, which were much appreciated. The boys all asked that the people of Naseby be told how grateful they were for their kindness and how very much they welcomed the parcels. One boy says 'a parcel like this is as good aB a small gold mine. Our Company moved into the trenches last night, and this morning along came the parcel containing cocoa, milk, sardines, tobacco, cigarettes, sweets, etc. It could not have arrived at a better time. I have already had a smoke of the tobacco and it was lovely. To-night before going on duty at midnight I am going to have a drink of the cocoa, and you may be sure that while I am drinking it my thoughts wilFba of the dear old town. Words cannot express how pleased I was to receive that parcel, especially when it came from Naseby, and I must thank the people very much.' Another boy says 'I thoroughly appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness of the people in sending the parcel. You can't imagine how we do appreciate parcels from home.' Another boy sends his 'sincere thanks for the parcel and kindest regards to old Naseby.' Everyone writes in a similar strain and hopes to be back again soon.

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL. The eyes have been called the "windows of the soul"; hence the necessity for guarding them jealously. Overstrain may result in lifelong weakness —even in permanent lobs of sight. If your eyes are giving you any trouble, have them examined at once. I can tell you what is the defect, and what is the remedy. HUGH NEILL, D.8.0.A., Glasgow Optical House, 242 George St., Dunedin.
