THE CALL or THE U. S.

Our boys are bravely needing
The bugle's call TO arms,
To God, their loved ones leaving,
Midst tears and terror's storm.
They bid goodbye to their fair home
towns,
AS they brayely march away;
They cast no lingering glance around,
As if they wished to stay
High their heads are held,
Sturdy and staunch their martial
tread,
Earnestness, their spirits tell,
Not Of a shirling dread;
They tell of hope beyond the waters
blue;
They tell Of men so strong and bold.
OF the sacrifice of many pleasures,
too,
And that patriotism of old.
Not as seourged slaves do they go.
AS if they saw their end,
They go in triumph to meet the foe,
And to prove themselves worthy
men
They go with light hearts and lighter
still
They laugh to scorn the thought Of
fear.
They know it is our savior's will
And He win protect them there.
Go on, brave boys, enlist 10 the call
Of the U. S. A.
Fight bravely and you'll win;
For we are praying by night and day
TO God to preserve our men.
Have courage when sorrows await you.
Let the kaiser fight as he may;
But remains your courage, TOO,
And remember boys, It's the call of
the U. S. A.

A FEW FACTS THAT ALL SHOULD
KNOW

America raises more food, eats more
food, wastes more food and Ameri-
cans pay higher prices for their food
than any other people on earth.
In Germany today no food is per-
mitted to be fried This is to conserve
fats. Grease from any source is care
fully gathered III, by the government
and soap has become a luxury for
millionaires.
Recent experiments on cans of to-
matoes, corn, string beans, apples,
pumpkin and even sauerkraut. have
proved that canned foods are not
harmed in the least by remaining in
the original tin as long as sixty hours
after being opened.
Good doctors and many public health
authorities agree that Americans
would be healthier, happier and better
off every way by eating one-quarter to
one-third less food
Canned tomatoes fill such an I'M
portant place in feeding our army
that the government asks for an in
crease of so per cent from tomato can
ming states In addition to furnishing
food value fer energy, tomato
quenches the thirst of men and calls
for less water consumption in the
camp or on the march.
Rice -four is coming into more gem
eral use. In the proportion Of one part
rice flour 10 three parts wheat, it
makes delicious and nourishing bread

THE coLoRED RED cRoss

News comes to US that the doors Of
the military hospitals, at home and
abroad, are about to be opened to the
competent and prepared colored Red
Cross nurse. who stands willing and
ready to serve her country in that
/ capacity.
While we commend the steps taken
by those in authority in this branch
Of government service, the decision is
no more than we have expected to
come with the continuation of the
war. We venture to say that long
before the battle is over hurry calls
win come for nurses-color not con
sidered.
'Tis strange why we persist in deal
ing out the little things when we can
play a larger hand, a hand that spells
world freedom. Why let pressure
force the issue? Why let pressure
continue to work, however, all will be
right ere the war closes.
Though the blind forces contiue to
work we cannot sit stupidity by and
not call attention TO grave errors.
Ours is a great cause, and great ideas
must work in the solution Of our prob
lens The thousands of black men
win welcome, when wounded, the
ministering hand Of a race woman,
and the race woman is large eonugh
to take her place joyfully over there
that she might dispense cheer and un-
selfish service to all Of our boys. and
especially the boys of color.-Louis-
