I TRAVELING STORES. Vice-sur-AIsne is the base of supplies sup-plies for the traveling stores which visit weekly fifty villages each. Up to October 15 only food and kitchen utensils were sold, but there has. been such a demand for household house-hold furniture, clothing, and blankets, that these will be bought at wholesale! and sold at the same wholesale rate. Food, too, bought afwholesale, Is sold at wholesale prices. Thus for those who are able to pay these commodi- ties are brought within their reach but no supplies sent from America are ever sold. They are given to thosewho are uttorly destitute, after a personal Investigation by one of our own committee com-mittee and an authorization by the mayor. There are very many of these, who fro minvasion, from fire and destruction, de-struction, from illness, and from all the terrors and ravages caused by the war. are without anything; and without the means of earning or of getting anything, any-thing, and lb these sufferers go, tho clothes, food, shoes, blankets, and all gifts from generous Americans.
