In this connection may be found by
actual Investigation to be no less
abused than the word "religion" In the
previous Instance. Billions of church
property In this country are as truly
commercial as Standard Oil or united

their owners princely revenues annu

billions should not bear their share of
the staggering load that the exigen

of American workers? If churchly pa

not these billions been laid upon the
country's altar in a time like thiv? In

beautiful example which it deserves

It la vitally necessary that the Lib
rtv loan be fully subscribed lmmedl
ately In order to equip our boys right.
The government ha offered for sale
$2,000,000,000 of bonds in denomina
tions of $50. $100. $500 and upwards.
Your plain duty Is to buy as many of
these bonds as you can. They can be
bought on the partial payment plan.
The first payment need be only 2 per
eent, $2 on a $100 bond. Anyone with
any pocket money or an allowance of
any kind can find no excuse for not
buying at least on $50 bond. You
can make the initial payment of $1 i
you please, and pay the rest out of
your savings. You can buy a bond
through your husband's boss by paying
$1 a week. You can go to your hank,
to your husband's bank, or any hank,
or your husband's employer, and they
will recelv you, not only cordially, but
with all the respect and honor due to
an American woman serving her coun
try. And remember that this bond Is the
soundest Investment In the world. It
Is a first mortgage on th United
States a piece of the wealth of the
wealthiest of nations. It pays you in
terest at the rate of per cent. Vou
are saving for yourself the very money
you have lives with.
Do something today to save the lives
that you know you can aid In saving.
Subscribe yourself to one or more
bonds; get your friends to subscribe;
give a Liberty loan bridge, or a Lib
erty loan tea. or som form of enter
tainment which will rals funds to
buy bonds with.
It Is your duty; it should be and
must be your pride and privilege to do
this work.

Sugar In concentrated form, candy,

high in fuel value. For that reason
