WAR ON MOSQUITOES.

In Macedonia, the great enemy,
the great danger, is neither the
Boche, nor the Bulgar; it is the mos

ment of public health, by agreement
with General Sarrail, commander in
chief of the Eastern army, and with
the cooperation of the Pasteur insti-
tute, has undertaken a systematic
fight against it. A special auxiliary
corps, composed of 20 physicians,
800 men, 80 sergeants, 40 corporals,
and three administrative officers, is
engaged in destroying the larvae of
the mosquito and killing off the in
sects.

GREAT DEMAND FOR NURSES
Minnesota Authority Points Out How
Women and Girls Hay Be of Serv-
ice to the Country.

"Girls who have recently gradu-
ated frow high school as well as
women of more mature years can aid
materially in the preparedness pro-
gram by entering hospital training
school for nurses" says G. Frances
Cameron, head nurse Of the Min
nesota Public Health association.
''Many young women," adds Miss
Cameron, "were disappointed to
learn that the Red Cross could not
send them abroad as nurses aids.
Graduate nurses, however, are being
sent over in great numbers. To fill
the ranks left vacant and to accom-
modate the ever-increasing demand
for private and public nurses the
enrolment in the various hospitals
of this state will have to be greatly
increased.
"The three years. training required
by the hospital is strenuous but
graduation opens many opportuni-
ties--private or public nursing, and
even matrimony. The pay for pri-
yate nursing is from $25 to $35
week; for public nursing from $75
TO 1925 month. In the last year
there has been a shortage of nurses
in all fields. At least two factors are
going to make the demand for nurses
eTen greater. First, the war; second,
the modern development of preven-
tive and social work"

Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act Of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act of purchas-
ing is not an act Of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the, war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
to you: Loan us $50 or S100, or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 31s per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec. 49,, and
in addition to chat we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent u.s.
Also, if the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
to the highest rate'
That's fair, square proposition
You can't lose. The United States
helped you get what you have, and it
is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do 1t
today.

Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes IN Selling United States
Liberty Bonds

President Wilson, the cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news oil
the subscription for Liberty bonds,
which the government has issued tc
help in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and &C
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately hall
of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisi'
ana. Few sections of the United
States have such varied resources
From the orange groves of Florida To
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields of Georgia to the
rice plantations Of Louisiana and the
stock raising section of Tennessee al
most every kind of crop and manu-
featuring Industry can be found. 1t
will be strange indeed if the people OF
this prosperous section are MOI
among the largest purchasers of Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
ly disappointed unless this great SEQ
ton ranks at least third in the volume
of its purchases OF Liberty bonds.
Bankers of Atlanta, birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000.
Make the war loan the chief subject
of discussion in your home. Make sure
that each member of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't
let it be said that you withheld your
help in time of your country's needs.

U. S. Liberty Bond Button
Is Your Badge of Honor

Every man, woman and child who
buys Liberty bond will be given a
government button to wear. This
badge of honor will be sign to the
world that its wearer believes in the
United States, in freedom, in man
hood, in righteousness, and has shown
his faith by his works. Many of us
are not able to fight, but there is
hardly any one who cannot buy at
least $50 Liberty bond. Remember,
too, that this $50 is not gift: 1t is
safe and sound investment, free from
taxation, paying interest and repaying
the principal in full. You can't lose.
II you do not buy, both you and
your country will thereby be losers.
Don't be milestone around your coun-
try's neck. Order at least one Liberty
bond today.
