being ssapped under Gle terrific strain
Of the allied offensive.
The attrition Of the German forces
on the west front has been marked,
and even transfer of many divisions
from the Russian front to France and
the calling into service of the 1918
and part Of the 1919 reserves have
been ineffectual in interrupting allied
successes. Diminution Of German
strength is going on at the time when
the acuteness of the situation de-
mands an increase.
"This shows" says the statement,
1.-The decisive character attending the
operations of 1918, when three great
democracies, England, France and
America, will unite their entire
strength in attacking the enemy, in
conformity with the only sound prin-

Teach Thrift Through Stamps

This Christmas a greatnumber
of War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps were given to children by
their parents. The government
urges that this plan be kept up
through the entire year. When
ever parents have money to give
their children let them be sure to
give it in the form of five dollar
War Saving Stamps, or twenty
five cent Thrift Stamps, onlysix-
teen in number. All parents will
realize how much better it is for
the children to save money than
to waste it in buying unnecessary
things. If parents will only make
the effort, they can soon teach
their children to feel the same
enthusiasm in buying Thrift
Stamps that they experience in
any other interesting work or
play. Could there be a finer sight
than to see children competing
in the game of thrift? Their
parents can put this stimulus in
to their lives, and the coming men
and women of America will be
finer citizens on account of it.
The child is father to the
man, and the parents ofAmerica
can make the growing generation
the finest and strongest that the
country has yet produced if they
will urge upon their children the
Importance of their part in
Americas great undertaking at
this time.

COLDS ARE SERIOUS
They Weaken the Body and Lead
to the Most Dang erous Diseases

Sniffle, sniff Just a cold. "
Cold weather has come, windows
are being closed and rooms over
heated. Consequently many peo-
pie are shifting, and handker-
chiefs are much in demand. The
trouble is, colds are not taken
seriously. We used to consider
them just as inevitable in cold
weather as frost on a cold night
and receive them as submissively.
Now we know that they are
catching" that they can be
avoided, and that they are far
more serious than we used to
consider them.
Colds are most serious when
they act as agents for other
diseases. They rarely come with
out bringing in their trail numer-
GUS other infections. Their great
est danger is preparing the way
for more serious illnesses. These
might be mentioned as pneu-
monia, meningitis, bronchitis,
measles and scarlet fever, and
worst of all, tuberculosis. They
lower the resistant power of a
person, weaken his vitality and
make him susceptible to most
any disease.
Colds are not so dangerous if
readily attended to and cured.
1t is only when they are allowed
TO run on uncured that they
work their mischief. 1t is the
neglected cold that is said to run
into something else like pneu-
monia or tuberculosis. While
they may not be the course they
take, they do pave the way for
such diseases.
To avoid having colds, keep
yourself in good physical condi-
ton by observing the laws of
health. Dress warmly, but not
too heavily; get all the fresh air
and sunshine you can; sleep with
your windows open at night and
take a cold sponge bath about
the arms, shoulders and chest
every morning. Don't overeat,
and avoid constipation.
When you have a cold, keep
away from places where people
congregate; do not use the same
drinking cup as other people
you shouldn't do so at any time;
do not kiss people, and shun too
close contact with them; destroy
your mouth and nose secretions;
if you have fever or aches 20
to bed and stay there until you
feel better. Call the doctor un-
less you feel better the next day.
