If you fully realize that your
country is at war and if you are
in sympathy with your nations
interests, you will back your pa
triotism with the cash and buy
a liberty bond. These bonds bear
four per cent interest, payable
semi-annually, and are free from
all taxation. Use your money to

Right living is the result of
right thinking. The average man
has no master save his mind, un
til he learns to make it his SER
want. When one has mastered
his mind, has learned to control
it completely, he has opened the
gateway leading through the
path of knowledge to success.
And success is nothing more
than attaining the goal as out
lined by right thinking, and, like
all great achievements, it is a
matter of extreme simplicity.
