EVERY CITIZEN SOLDIER
ON DUTY AT HIS HOME
Everyone must help If we are
to win. The soldier must obey
orders or there will be no army.
The people must be one or there
will be no nation. So that we
win, all of us must fallow direc
tions. This Is your war guide for use
In your home.
It tells yon what foods we
must save to provision ourselves
and our allies; it tells how we
can stretch our supplies so
I everyone will have enough
j without any hurt to your health
or your strength.
J Your government does not ask
you to give up three square
meals a day nor even one. All
a. It avks Is that you eat less of
J the foods we need to keep the
armies going aud eut all you
T want of the other things that we
have In plenty.
J Ent plenty keep up - your J
strength and your vim to help 4
win the war. You hnve dedl- J
cated to the nation everything 4
X that you have; you are asked X
now to give ui Just some hub- J
X Its of the kitchen and (able. I
j America aud her ullles must T
not run out of wheat, meat, or X
J fats. If we let that happen, T
(iermuny will win the war. X
X We must save sugur, ue J
every drop of milk, and we
X must learn to follow directions. J

Washington. Canteen service as
provided-by the American Ited Cross
for our soldiers in France is one of the
most potent Influences for keeping the
men contented und in the right frume
of mind to smash the German, say
Mrs. Jean Hull, who is In this country
on two months' leave.
"A canteen Is a long shack where
the soldiers nre served coffee, sand
wiches and more substantial food, as
well ns sweets. Here a soldier may
get his clothes mended, may have
them cleaned after the filth of the
trenches, and If he Is homesick may (
pour out ins neart to one or tne Amer
ican women In charge."
In other words, the canteen fur
nishes that homelike touch which
means so umch to a man three or four
thousand miles from his family and
friends. I
Mothers with boys In France or In i
training to go to France will be made !
happy In knowing that such care is,
given to their sons by the Ited Cross, j
The American women who have volun
teered to run the canteens ore among
the nation's most cultivated women.
They are enduring conditions which
nre In marked contrast with the sur
roundings of their own homes.
"Lots of times nn American soldier
will come Into the canteen," said Mrs.

GROCERY
Every man, woman and child in this city can help keep one of our boys
at the front supplied with cigarets and tobao.co by setting aside one cent a day
for each working day. 1 .
Just think what this little sum will do! For 25 cents we will enter your
name on our Tobacco Fund list, and will send 45 cents worth of smoking to
bacco and cigarets to our boys in France. In the kit will be a postal card
stamped and addressed to you, and on the kit will le a request to the soldier
asking him to write a message to you on tho postal and mail it.
The Red Cross takes charge of these kits of snaoking material and dis
tributes them; the French government sends" back the postal bearing a one
cent United States stamp and admits the tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross Society and as pre
occupied officials as those of the French government will do these things to
see that our soldiers get a chance to smoke, it isn't asking much to ask you
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose.
Send in your contributions of any amount 25 cents, $1.00, $5.00, or more.
For every 2-" cents that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goca
