SU HELP MOTH Kit. We have been lately devising all kinds of iilans to help this class and organized a bureau to furnish help for the farmer. It has strained Its publicity department In rounding up help Tor the great ship-building plants. We have gone into the high ways and byways In search of labor for the war-Industries plants; and liave extended a helping hand to this Industry and that. In fact we have been busy playing the good Samar itan until wo have developed a per fect mania for useful service. Hut with It all we have strangely overlooked the cue most deserving of help and the one who most needs our help- thfl patient, uncom plaining housewife. Who's going to help mother?

Is the question that thousands of American Soldiers have faced, perhaps with some misgivings, certainly with lively anticipation. The experience of many of them must be like that of a British plough-boy-Soldier described by Lord Dun any, captain of the Innlaklltlng Fusiliers. "A man's first night in the front line is nn epoch-making experience," he writes. "It is like a man's first vote, or his twenty-first birthday -it is a milestone In his life, marking the change from the mimic warfar behind I he lines to the grim reulltlos Let's begin at home and start to ' of actual conflict. weeding out (lie noxious growths.
