Where fathers earned $3.50 to $1,000,
one baby in eight died, while when the
wage was $1050 or more only one
child in 16 died before it was year

HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH
SELECTED MAN
Toledo News-Bee1

lANASNS %NN"R DNNI
There isn't a man in Lucas county,
selected for military service, but
should hold his head higher and live
to higher ideals because OF his selec-
ton. Both honor and responsibility
have been placed on his shoulders.
He is q picked man. He bears his
country's mark of approval, the guar
anteo of physical and mental sound
ness.
The United States has said to him:
I'VE have the mightiest task to per-
form that ever faced this nation. We
want the best of the young manhood
of this nation for the work. You are
one of the best. We want you to
wear your country's uniform and do
your c3untry's work. You are fit to
represent your country, the United
States on the field of battle"
Surely there's honor in that. Sure
ly. too, there is responsibility In
the American training camps and on
the European battlefields these select
ed men will be regarded as types of
American manhood. The mental,
moral and physical standards of the
United States will be judged by them.
Every man selected for military
service should so live that the. Stars
and Stripes may carry to all the
world its splendid story of freedom
and justice and sterling manhood.
