EVERYONE CAN HELP
Every man, woman and child In
this country who wants to serve the
country, can serve It and serve it in
a very simple and effective way,
says the treasury department. That
service is to lend your money to the
government. Every 26 cents loaned
to the government is a help at this
time and practically every man. wo
man and child by making some trif
ling sacrifice, some denial of a pleas
ure, or giving up some Indulgence,
can render the government that sup
port.
Every 25 cents will do something
to help a wounded American soldier,
wounded fighting for the American
people and American liberty. Every
cent loaned the government contrib
utes something for the safety and
strength aud success of our soldiers
and sailors, equipping them, main
taining them, clothing them, feeding
them, and giving them artillery and
ammunition aud all things needed for
their efficiency aud triumph.
The question is: "Are you will
ing to help the fighting men of our
nation, and in helping them to help
yourselves? Are you willing in
helping yourselves ti make the
atrocities, the Infamous and unspeak-
able crime« against civilization com
mitted by Germuny impossible?"

My rm nd has been deeply impressed for a long time by the necessity
for some governmental action designed to encourage and establish ths
practice of physical culture among the citizenship of this country. The
appalling condition, disclosed by the recent physical examinations of the
young men of our nation before the exemption boards has sent a thrill
of alarm and a sense of profound concern into the heart of every thinking
and loyal citizen. The question naturally arises within the mind of every
serious man, What practical thing can be done to decrease the percentage
of physical deficients and raise the standard of physical efficiency among
the men of our nation?
There is overwhelming evidence that the people of this nation are
living in profound ignorance of the vital and imperative necessity of train
ing their bodies with the 6ame care and thoroughness as they do their
minds. "Cram the mind, though the body be crippled," has been the
abiding practice of our people so long that when the hour of great neces
sity arises, when the moment of peril is upon us, and the things that are
more priceless to us than our lives are in jeopardy and the cry of a ruth
less enemy is heard at our gates, and the nation turns with confidence to
the surging millions of its citizens for defenders, an amazing best is found
nervous, timid, uncertain, doubtful, hesitant, and with waning and
depleted vitality. Well might we liang our heads in shame at the exhi
bition, and doubly so, because in all the wonderful achievements of this
peerless nation it has neglected the apparent and imperative duty of
training its citizenship in the necessity of physical culture.
It is easy for a healthy man to be courageous, hopeful, optimistic and
enthusiastic, and it is easy for a sick man to be a coward. If the resplend
ent glory of this nation is to remain unsullied, it will be because of the
devotion, courage, masterfulness, resourcefulness aud physical vigor of
its citizens.
