Made Strong By Delicious Vinol

years Of age was in a debilitated, run

we tried Yinol. Then her appetite
increased and she is strong and we'll, and
wish other parents of weak, delicate
children would try Vinol."-GEo. A.

PENNIES OF SCHOOL CHILDREN MAY YET WIN HE GREAT WAR Remarkable Campaign for Saving Now Being Con- ducted in England ECONOMY URGED
 IN HUGE POSTERS Small Investors Given a Chance. Can Start Savings Account
 With Six Penny
 Stamps
By PHILIP H. PATCHIN

London, June S.-(Special Correspon- dence.) .)-Victory in war depends on the number of fighters a nation can put into the field of action. Mere numbers how ever, is not the whole story. The fight CTS must be skilled, their equipment must be of the best and their stomachs must be filled and refilled with great regu- larity. All of which costs money and the silver bullets" as the imaginative Welshman, Loyd-George, expressed it., are the ones that will do about as much toward winning the war as the other kind. This is becoming increasingly ap- parent all the time.
 There was a time, during the first months of the war, when the allies were most complacent about the economical aspect of the great conflict England, with her enormous wealth, thrifty France and rich Russia were considered to furnish a combination of financial strength that the central powers could never compete with. For a long. long time allied states men and strategists counted much on g. war of attrition," the result of which would be Germany going to her knees on account of financial and economic ex- haustion. Germany has failed to oblige so far, although reports indicate that the strain is great. But people are begin ming to realize that there is something to the German boast that the Germans will Tive on rock and grass" rather than give in. It is being brought home that

Is proof that our schemes are successful. As for that particular feature-the don't dress extravagantly one-there is pretty good proof that people are taking up the idea by the angry protests we get from shopkeepers. They are the ones who ought to know and they are greatly irri- tated.'
 The posters are interesting. Some of them are enormous 100 feet long and let ters six feet high There is one, a smaller size, in read and blue, as follows;
 What is the price of one of your arms?"
 civilian-How did you lose your arm, my lad?
 Soldier-Fighting for you, sir
 Civilian-Tm grateful to you. my lad.
 Soldier-How much are you grateful, sir?
 Civilian-What do you mean?
 Soldier-How much money have you lent your country?
 Civilian-What has that to do with it?
 Soldier--A lot. How much is one of your arms worth?
 Civilian-Td pay anything rather than lose an arm. A
 Soldier-Very we'll Put the price of your arm, or as much as you can afford, into exchequer bonds or war savings cer- tificates, and lend your money to your country.
 Everywhere is the sign, ITO dress ex- travagantly is worse than bad form-it is unpatriotic.s This is augmented by a smaller poster, which says
 Bad form in dress-The national or ganizing committee for war savings ap- peals against extravaganza in women's s dress
 Many women have already recognized that elaboration and variety in dress are bad form in the present crisis, but there is still large section of the community both amongst the rich and amongst the less well-to-do, who appear to make little or no difference in their habits.
 New clothes should only be bought when absolutely necessary, and these should be durable and suitable for all oc- casions Luxurious forms, for example, of hats, boots. shoes. stockings, gloves and wells should be avoided
 Tt is essential. not only that money should be saved, but that labor employed .n the clothing trades should be set free"
 Another which has attracted much at tention is:
 l. Don't use a motor car or motor cycle for pleasure purposes.
 ?, Don't buy ney clothes needlessly. Don't be ashamed of wearing old clothes in war time. 5. Don't keep more servants than you res IIv need fi
 In. this way. you save money for the war,

opment are doing much to raise the standard of general physical develop ment among survivors. It has forced millions of men who previously led a sedentary life to live out of doors and attain the natural life which was orig inally allotted to human beings. Fresh air, plain, healthy food, and a va riety of exercise has resulted in a re- markable development in stature and physical efficiency among host of soldiers. When Kitchener said that it took year to make soldier 1t was the physical education which he had foremost in mind The result of scien- tific training and the recognition of the value of athletics in producin0 well rounded physical efficiency has brought about some surprising trans- formations. Of course. rheumatism takes it's toll of the men who have served for long periods and for this athletics offers no remedy.

cil of war and ascertain how much or lts total consumption can be temporarily sacrificed. Services should be valued even more highly than goods, as each person doing unnecessary and unproduc- tive work is not only consuming without producing, but it is depriving the coun- try of her potential productive power. For instance, in house of, several ser wants. if, by cooperation in the work of the maids. and simplification of the standard of living by the family, more oi the baking and washing was done al home and the younger maids were set free to take the place of the men called to the colors, to factory, transport and r,unition work. the household by co-op- erative effort would add two units to the army of supply or export production and reduce the consumption of the household. Saving would thus be available for the war loan, and more goods made for ex- port"
 HEED PAID TO RICH
 While the government is now after the small investor, heed is being paid to the rich It will not do to let the working man believe that he is being asked tc invest in war loans while the rich ride about in motor cars. That is one reason why the country is blazing with the sign: 'DOn use a Inotor car loi PASo9- ure." The sign is well meant and car ries a needed message, but one of the greatest reasons for existence Is to show the working people whose money is be- ing called for that the necessity of econ omy is being urged upon rich and poor alike, with no favorites.
 I asked officials in charge of this pos ter campaign if they could trace results. One replied:
 '.Of course it is difficult to ascertain that woman has failed to buy dress because she read one of our signs ad- vising her not to, but there are ways of telling that results are being obtained. For one thing the money we are getting

recorded since the outbreak of the

4 Ell Paso, March 17-A few definite facts about

considerable cearness, the result OF official publish
ed reports of news brought here by Americans who
have been in touch with portion Of the American
government
It seemed certain that of the two columns which

speed while the other is apparently moving more
slowly
The swift-footed column is the auxiliary army,
seemingly mostly cavalry, which went into Mexico
fifty miles west of the main army OF General Pershng
when his forces crossed at Columbus. The secrecy
which surrounded the movements Of the main column
has been slight compared with that this western
force. There is reason to believe from official an
n0uncementS that the western column may have gone
into Mexico earlier than the main body. Every re-
port brought here from the border asserts the west
ern wing has travelled much the farthest
