CHAIN LETTER

Reporter.

The chain letter has again made
its appearance. A prayer is offered
in the latest missive going the rounds
with the request that it be copied
seven times and sent to seven peo
pie, one each day. The old appeal
to superstition, that on the seventh
day the sender will experience great
JOY, Is again one Of the features OF
the newest OF these nameless and
rather mysterious letters.
1t happened that someone, bent on
achieving the joy promised, sent one
of the missives (the hand is fem

knowingly, 50 instead of writing sev-
en- new ones, he 1s going to let the
printing presses print seven thous-

Americas Chain Prayer.
Lord, mplore Thee, bless our
soldiers and sailors and keep
them from all harm, and bring
them to rest with Thee Amen.
This prayer has been sent all
over the world. Copy it and see
what happens. 1t was sent In an

were supposed to be safe from

Send it to seven people, one

meet with great Joy. Start the
day you get this. Please don't
break the chain. This is as It
was sent to me. I pass 1t on to

DR.. Grace L. Meigs, daughter Of

plan to protect the babies Of warning

The necessity for greater efforts

in report on infant welfare work
in the warning nations issued by Dr..
Grace l.. Meigs of the children'a
bureau of the department of labor.
:. The chief preventive measure, for
protecting babies is to insure their
intelligent care and nursing by
healthy mothers In their own homes"
the report says. Every effort should
be made to enlits large number of
candidates for hospital training
courses
The available information from
Germany concerns only the first
eighteen months of the war. Dr.
Meigs refers to the emphasis placed
on enabling mothers tolcare for their
own children A special committee
OF the Red Cross, for example, was
organized in Berlin for the care of
mothers and infants. The commit.

And, it's the simple, practical con-
struction of GMC Trucks that APP
peals to the experienced truck buyer
and means much to the owner in
lower operating expense, lower main
tennance cost, and longer service.
For, owners, have come to realize that
when the driver can understand his
truck, can make necessary adjust
ments, and care for it without great
trouble or labor, excessive repairs
and requirements are thereby elimin-
ated.
And that's one big reason why GMC
Trucks cost less to operate per ton
mile per year. They are built to stand
the punishment of hardest day-in-and-
day-out service-to satisfy the owner
and gain the drivers good will.
If you are about to install motor equipment
for the first time, considering the
purchase Of additional trucks, we urge you
to see the nearest GMc dealer or to write
TRUCK HEADQUARTERS. Then talk with
with GMc drivers and learn more about
GMC Trucks.

Coming from the man who fairly
lives with the truck and sees it under

upon it that the truck has done all
that he claims, and has deservingly
earned his praise.
Aside from the greater pulling pow

Mothercraft Note.

Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value I'M
til it has reached years of discretion.
There are so many little helps that can
be offered to make work attractive to
children. For instance, a successful
way to teach a child to put its soiled
clothes out of sight is to make for its
own use a little laundry bag of some
cheerful color and on it embroider the
word Laundry" Hang it on a peg
low enough for the child to reach and
you will not have to remind the child
more than two or three times of its
duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room you
should at least let the child share a
bureau or dressing table with some one
so that it can be taught quite young
to put hair ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc.,
In a certain place. Let it understand
that the space reserved is all its very
own.
