The books are made up like railroad mileage, the coupons are good for any performance in any camp theater as long as the war lasts, and until the army is disbanded. The government has built a liberty theater in each of the sixteen cantonments. In the South, twenty-three chautauqua tents have been set up. High class theatrical companies, also vaudeville and concert companies will be routed through these theaters. Many performers have offered all or part of their time free of charge, among them, Maude Adams, and Wil- liam Faversham. As a result the money cost of these performances will be from ten to twenty-five cents. The families and friends of the boys in the camps are urged to buy these books and send them as presents. Books are on sale at the Womans Corps and several of the drug stores in Wilmette. The committee in charge, organized through the Wo- man's Club includes Mrs. Carl Flecker, chairman, Mrs. R. E.
