THE Signal does cot presume
to advise people what they should
do in the approaching crisis; but
merely to warn them and advise
with them. We are all aware of
the fact that this nation is pass
ing through a crisis, and it now
seems that another and still great
er one is just ahead. We know
further that the great problem OF
the human race is food, not cloth
ing, and the luxurie that money
brings, but the actual necessities
that sustain life. In normal times
this sustenance is hard enough
to get, and under abnormal con.
ditlons such as war brings, it is
almost impossible for the average
man, and absolutely impossible
for the less thrifty, to procure
the right kind of nutritious food
for the family. Knowing these
things as we do, and even now in
peace many are suffering, is It not
the part of wisdom for the people

Visiting a veterinary hospital where

Someone suggested this was strange,
because the army had found the mule

That's precisely it," said the doc

fine animal that you see SO little of

Because he is generally civil and
