WOMEN'S NATIONAL RESERVE. Yes, I'm willing to join such a worthy band. At the same time I am of the opinion that a good supply of ARCADIA TEA is the Women's National Reserve, because its rich and economical. A Dunedin soldier, who was "gassed" in France and is now in hospital in England, in a letter to a friend, states:—■ "By the way. I don't know what our Government is thinking about sending some of the men that are coming in the later reinforcements. Mind you, lam not speaking of them as a whole, as they are up to standard, but there are som? old men—perhaps in some cases old before their tife—and others with different complaints who will probably never leave England except in a hospital boat back to New Zealand. Yet the Government has to go to the expense of training, equipping, and transporting these men to England, each man costing, I suppose, by the time lie is landed here, pretty near a 'century.' On top of this perhaps a pension to pay in New Zealand after discharge, and never even getting within 50 miles of the firing line after all that trouble and expense. There is a mistake somewhere-—doctors or what, i. don't know, and as for the expense, well, I suppose poor old John Bull .sufl'ers again."
