As an illustration of the lofty sentiment possessed by men who die on the European bat tlefield in the war for democracy, and a reminder for Americans who may be backward in contributing to the second Liberty Loan, the Liberty Loan committee made public tonight the last letter written by Captain V. G. Tupper of the Canadian Scottish Sixteenth Battalion, to his father, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, before his death at the battle of Vimy Ridge last April. The soldier wrote : ' "My Dear Father I am writing one of these 'hi case' letters for the third time, and, of course, I hope you will never have to read it. If you are reading it now, you will know that your youngest son 'went under as proud .as Punch on the most glorious day of his life. I am taking my company 'over the top' for a mile in the biggest push that has ever been launched in the world, and I trust that it is going to be greatest factor towards peace. "Dad, you can't imagine the wonderful feeling; a man thinks something like this: Well, if I am going to die, this is worth it a thousand times. "I have 'been over two or three times before, but never with a company of my own. Think of it a hundred and fifty officers and men who will follow you to hell, if need be. - "I don't want any of you dear people to be sorry for me, although of course you will, in a way. You will miss me but you will be proud of me. Mind you, I know what I am up against and the odds are against me. I am not go ing in the way I did the first time, just for sheer devil ment and curiosity. I have seen this game for two years, and I still like it and still feel that my place is here. "So much for that. I want to thank you from the bot tom of my heart for all your loving kindness to me. This war has done wonders to me and makes me realize lots of things I would not have done otherwise. I could write a book about it, but you know what I mean. ' 'Good-by, dear father and mother, and all of you. again I say that I am proud to be where I am now.

Willi IJne of Cannon Defended Cap ital Against Privateers. Conscientious objectors in the past have sometimes modified their anti war views to meet the circumstances of the time a, for example. In Penn sylvania, In the middle of the eigh teenth century. Here a long line of cannon defended the old Quaker cap ital aguinst French and Spanish pri vateers on the principle that a de fensive war" was Justifiable.

U.S. MEAALESS DAYS WILL SAVE ALLIES FROM EATLESS DAYS (By FRED LOCKLEY.) PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 13. If there was ever a time to prove our Americanism now is the time. Our soldiers are on the battle line to help our allies to make the world safe for democracy. Not all of us can serve in the tren ches or risk our lives going; over the top across no man's land, but all of us can take part In "Hoover's Drive" to save wheat and meat, butter and sugar for the men who are fighting our battles in Europe. We are not asked to stint ourselves or so without food, but simply to eat wisely and without waste, and to use substitutes for bacon and ham, wheat foods and other concentrated foods that can readily be shipped across the water. One wheatless meal a day, one meat less day a week will keep the non com batants in Europe from having; eat- less days most of the time. Remem ber that the person who wastes food during; war time if giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Thl war will not be won on the battle line alone, Tut on the bread line as well, and every one of us can be soldiers in the fight for conserving our food supplies. Fledge Card Week takes place be tween October 21st and 28th. Every I loyal housewife should be willing and p glad to promise co-operation with the ! Food Administration Department. We i can render efficient service by using ! home grown supplies, which will save transportation, by practicing the gos pel of the clean plate, by cooking no more than necessary by using corn or rye bread for at least one meal each day, by substituting chicken, rabbit or fish In place of beef and pork, by boiling and baking more and frying less. The united- co-ordinated effort of the Nation will win the war. Do your part and get others to do likewise. KE3SOITAG ADJOIRXS. AMSTERDAM, Oct. It.

The United States Government analysis of the various soft coals used in the West show that same contains an average of 40 gercent Volatile. Volatile in coal is the smoke and gases and is the first element released from coal when burning same. This black smoke and gas in the ordinary stove escapes, unconsumed through the smoke pipe and chimney. Tests have proven that the Volatile in coal when burned before escaping through chimney contains the same percentage of heat units as the carbon in coal. - . THE AIR. BLAST UNIVERSAL With its new and novel construction sup plies an abundance of super-heated air di rectly over the fuel chamber, thereby burn ing and consuming all the smoke and gases and assuring one hundred per cent heating efficiency. This overdraft of heated air al so baffles the heat (preventing its usual free escape through smoke pipe) and de flects the heat to the floor.
