Compare Your Baby's
First Four Years
With This

In 1918 little Marie was born in VII
lage not far from Mezieres, IL the
Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father called to the
colors, fell at the Marine. And Marie
and her mother stayed in the village,
which was now in the Germans hands.
In 1915 a poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Marie's mother vanished,
along with score or more of other
women.
In 1916 Marie was still living In that
village-existing through the charity
of the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, was
bundled into a crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Evian. She was underfed,
of course, emaciated, sickly, dirty, too
lightly dressed for the time of year.
And she came into Evian with not a
relative, not a friend left in all France
to take care of her.
Who took her? Your Red Crossl
Over there in Evian your Red Cross
took charge of her, cared for her in
the Red Cross Chlldren's Hospital,
clothed her, fed her, built up her
strength, taught her to pIay-and then
helped the French authorities find her
q HOME.
Multiply Marie by 500 and you will
have some idea of just one days work
your Red Cross does at Evian. 1t is
only one of the Red Cross activities in
France. to be sure-but for just that
one alone can you help being proud Of
It? Can you help being glad you are
member of it, supporting its great
work Of humanity? Can you help want
ing 1t to go on helping the Marles and

THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
in Roumania when that stricken nation
stood In rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edles until this greater horror struck
a blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and

ried new life and hope to the heart of
Roumania2 You shall be your own

spalr, the shattered Roumanian army

where mothers chung to the frail. dis
tOrted forms of their babies-was star

No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword of the Kali
ser was closing in. A brave little ma.
ton was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn.
ing the streets of Jassy, the war capi.
tai of ROumania, swelled with sounds
of rejoicing. A city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the lamenta-
tons of those mourning their dead
now was awakened by shouts of joy.
You, my friend; you who have help
ed in the heroic work of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue of
Roumania. A train of 81 big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food, clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons of it, had arrived in Jassy
after making record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed it; thousands were fed
and clothed and nursed back to health.
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our
own Red Cross.
So was Roumanla helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
of a sturdy nation was kept out of the

Amsterdam.-Ten thousand substi-

into Germany since the war, according
to a statement made In the Berlin
newspapers by Professor Juckenack,
a prominent German food expert.
He mentions as the most striking ex-
amples of successful substitution the
following: Artificial butter, eggs salad
oil, honey, milk, coffee, tea, sugar, to-
baccO, fish, sausage, cheese and caviar.
Some of the substitutes are directly
harmful, but others are so good that
they win outlive the war and become
regular articles Of consumption, he

THE CASUALTY LISTS

How do you read the casualty
lists?
Do you begin at the top, turn
to the right hand column and
scan the heroes by home towns
Or do you look at the names, and,
meeting familiar one, look to
the address to see if it is the boy
you know; and, if it is, then read
the subhead to see his fate?
Perhaps YOU start with the
slightly wounded and read up to
the deeper tragedies where you
glance gingerly as on dangerous
ground hoping and full Of faith
that none Of the names there will
bring you face to face with a SUI
prcme sacrifice made by one close
and dear to you
When the list has been read
without amy start Of recognition
you feel relieyed-but only for a
second, because you know that
every name represents splendid
American who has given his. blood
for you here at home. You share
the grieI-and the pride of the
folks who do know those names,
and you know their hearts are
heavy,
Are You worthy of their sacri-
flee?
You are not worthy if You do
not give the best that is in you in
backing them up. Those boys
were asked TO stop the German
drive on Paris. They did it and
in addition drove the Huns be-
yond their starting point toward
the Rhine.
You are now asked to increase
your last Liberty loan investment
because the government needs
the money. Think Of that daily
casualty list and then dare to put
down one cent less than YOU can
afford to invest when the ~-aln-
paign begins September %.
Why not make your investment
