 Dear Commander:
 The cause for which the Union Soldier fought is part of history and bronze. imposing monuments and memorial halls and temples have been erected to commerate hfs patrio- Iisn1 and his heroic deeds. The sta sured. Monarchial governments in rhe old world seem less secure, and al fielding, little by little to the all most universal demand for greater individual liberty of the citizen. The result of our great victory is being felt m every land where Christian civilization has found home That righteousness and justice and liberty will ultimately triumph in all the world the fathers of you Sons of Veterans have no lingering doubt. But history has proven that eternal vigilance is the price that must be paid for victory. That it may be a peaceful victory is the earnest prayer of all right-thinking men. Wars come because men fail of their full duties as citizens in civil life.
 We need a mighty organization of willing hands, ready hearts and earn est souls, breathing. beating and throbbing with the lifehood of pa tTiotism. to tell of the unwritten his tCry handed down from sire to son. to elaborate upon the printed page, 10 fully explain the real and true meaning of the inscriptions on these tablets and columns of marble and in those beautiful temples: yea, to put the warmth of real active life into those cold, silent dumb and voiceless centinels of patriotism: to maintain, in vital force the principles defend ed and established by the Nations heroes to the end that those princi- pals shall not crIirnpIc and perish with the men who defended and establish

 You d see multitude of small threads woven together with tiny open spaces be- tween. W
 When soiled clothes are boiled, the dirt Is just softened, not looscncd.
 When you rub them on the wash board, the soft dirt IS partly rubbed into the tiny spaces between the threads and you might rub till Doomsday without getting 1t all out.
 That's why clothes washed in the boil ing, hard-rubbing way are often muddy or dull-looking
 They re not wholly clean.

 No boiling; no hard-rubbing; takes less than half the time of the old way.
 Saves the clothes; saves fuel
 When you've once tried the Fels-Naptha way of washing in the Winter or Summer you'll never go back to the wash-boler and hard rubbing.
