ficers and enlisted men as the only
rule or regulation now existing rel
ative to this matter:
"Superiors are forbidden to lnJure
those under their authority by tyran-

cipline and the thorough and prompt
performance of military duty, all Of,
ficers, dealing with enlisted men, will
bear in mind the absolute necessity OF
so treating them as to preserve their
self-respect. Officers will keep in as
close touch as possible with the men
under their command, will strive to
build up such relations of confidence
and sympathy as will insure the free
approach of their men to them for
counsel and assistance. This relation

A NEW WAR-TASK.

Here's where everybody can get on.
You may not be able to purchase
Liberty bond and yet you may invest
your money in such way as to help
win the war. You can lend Uncle Sam
your pennies and get good return
on them. Get a War-Savings certif-
icate and fill it with government
stamps, or, if you feel that that is too
much to start with, get a United
States Thrift card and save as little
as 25 cents at time anyway. The
following clear explanation is given
in a recent issue of the Literary Di-
gest:
"A war-Savings certificate has
twenty spaces, upon each of which
government stamp costing about $4.12
may be affixed. These stamps will
increase in value at the rate of four
per cent compound interest, so that
m five years, at maturity, they will
be worth S5 each. The full certifi-
cate, costing $82.40, will be redeemed
i'm five years by the United States
government for $100 in cash. But
any one of the stamps, or any part Of
an incompletely filled certificate, will
be redeemed in cash, at any time, on
ten days notice, for more than it's
original cost. The stamps and the
filled, or partly filled, War-Savings
certificate are BETTER EVEN
THAN CURRENCY-better than
their face value in money itself, and
available for use at any time of need.
For example, if you we're to carry a
five-dollar bill in your pocket for six
months, it would be worth, at the end
of that time, not one cent more than
five dollars, but if you carry in your
pocket a War-Savings stamp, or a
War-Savings certificate with the
stamps affixed, it is increasing in val
ne every minute of the time, and you
can use it as money whenever you
wish
"The United States Thrift cards are
planned on the same principle as the
War-Savings certificates. The total
value is only SIS, however, and the
twenty spaces for War-Savings
stamps provide for saving as little as
25 cents at time. The whole pla.
is simplicity, convenience, profit anC
service to the highest degree. 1t gives
to every class of Americans, ever
LhOSe Oh Cne SmalleSC means, the OF
portunity to save money and TO lent
1T to their own government at foul
per cent. compound interest, with tn.
right to have their money back, will
increase, at any time. 1t brings t,
every man, woman and child strons
inducement to economize in food
clothing and personal indulgence, an,
to use his savings to increase his owl
fortune, to strengthen his government
and to support the gallant soldier
who are giving their lives for u.s."
War-Savings certificates, Unite
States Thrift cards, and the Wa1
Savings stamps to fill them, are O
sale In every postoffice, every banl
and many other places. You can gf
information almost everywhere. Her
is splendid opportunity to save MOI
ey, get paid for saving it, and hel
