MONEY NOT TIED UP.
Money invested in Liberty Loan Bonds is in no way in
the world "tied up." So far as the Government is con
cerned the money, paid in for these bonds, including that
loaned our allies, is being and is to be spent in this coun
try and therefore immediately paid back to the people for
labor and products of the United States. So far from be
ing "tied up" this money is in effect never withdrawn
from circulation.
So far as the investor in the Liberty Loan Bonds is con-
i-enittu ins money is not "tiea up" since tnerc is always a

..... -KEEPING A HUSBAND. -
It is not enough .to get a husband.,' No sooner do you
get one, it seems you must worry about keeping him.
How to keep a husband, is described by a correspond-
a v mi. a i . . -
cm in xim wregoman, wno gives these ten rules:
(1) Make him know that you love and tare for him
uy uuing nine mmgs .rnat you know he likes to, have
you do.
(2) If he has a den keep it in perfect order, and if he
, um:s aue mai ins smoKing outiit is m its proper place.
w llKJL uuiupiuiu ji mere are asnes on the floor: thev
rvu seeping moms out.
Spe that his linen is always supplied and in it
proper place where he can get at it without, looking
. , (4) If he is loving and spoony at times meet him half
. VJ u jivinff mm a oig kiss wiien lie leaves home in the
morning and the same when he returns, and show him
that you have missed him while he has been away.
(o) Keep yourself neat, and tidy at all times - with
trcsh, clean house dresses and make vourself look as
pretty as you can. '
a (6) S.he,asks 3'0U to P out with him of an evenine
do so willingly, and make him feel that you love to go for

(7)Keep a suitable outfit on. hand at all times, to be
Supporting' the
Government
This is a time for every citizen to support the
United States Government and many are doing so
at considerable cost or sacrifice to themselves.
We have joined the Federal Reserve Banking Sys
tem established by the Government to give greater
financial stability and strength io the member banks
and protection to their depositors.
You can give your support to this great Govern
ment enterprise and also obtain its protection fc
your money by becoming one of our depositors. "

in all things you do, and I assure you that he will always
appreciate your efforts, and he will see no one that fills the
bill as well as you, his wife, does. You will find1 that he
will be found in the home more than he is in his tlub.-
The writer seems to have made a study of the subject.
If she does all these things for her husband, no doubt she
will succeed in keeping him. ' .
We have read other advice on the subject. The short
est we ever remember reading was: "Feed the Brute."
