GAS MASKS-YoU CAN HELP.

Every man, woman and child in
service that will save the lives of
soldiers. Carbon is needed to make
millions of gas masks for the Ameri-
can Army. Cocoanuts have furnished
much of this material. but eocoanuts
mean ships. and during the present
shortage material for carbon must be
found nearer home The pits of ap-
ricots, peaches. prunes. olives. dates.
cherries and plums and shells of
Brazil nuts. hickory nuts, walnuts and
butternuts make carbon for masks
that will outlast the most diabolical
of German gases.
!. Here is work for all. every home,
church and school Urge the boys
and girls to scour the woods for nuts
and iHcite your patriotic organiza
lions to rivalry in making collections
See that the work is started in your
neighborhood Place collection boxes
in schools, churches, banks and stores,
and above all. in your own home, so
your boys and girls can see the pile
grow. It takes two hundred peach
stones or seven pounds of nut shells
TO furnish carbon for a gas mask
and save the life of an American
soldier. How manv masks can your
neighborhood furnish?
Dry the pits and shells before
turning them into the nearest Red
Cross Chapter This organization is

THE MESSAGE.
The Dead Speak In Lines That We
Who Live Must Heed.

From Woman's Home Coppd MON.
Many people think that of all the
feams of poetry brought forth by the war
there has been nothing TO compare in
thought and expression with "In
Flanders Fields" by Lieutenant Colonel
John McCrsc. OF the Canadian army med
icsl corps, since dead at he front:
an Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark cur place; and In the sky
The larks, stiil braveiy singing. hy.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
"we are the dead. Short days ago
We lived. felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders helds,
Take up our quarrel with the foel
To you, from failing hands. we throw
The torch. Be yours 20 lift it hight
II We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
Iu Flanders fields
However beautiful may be the express
sion in this poem, ii seems subordinate to
the thought, and need not defain us here.
The dead speak in these lines, and we no
live must heed.
There can be no question as TO the out
come of this war The spiritually and in
tellectually civilized part of the world has
resolved that the portion intellectually
civilized only must be suhdued. II this
portion had kept the peace It would have
been left to breed and barter in its own
materialism; but il broke The peace and
came ravening out OF its jungle.
The Germans know that they are going
to be beaten, as well as the Allies know
it. For months, however, Germany has
hoped, and she still hopes, that by some
chance she ray make peace which will
favor her to greater or less degree.
Germany knows that the spiritually
civilized world did not want war and long
ago came to hate this war forced upon it.
1t is here that we must heed the voice
of those who lie in Flanders fields. All
We break faith--"l
The creatures called. for want OF more
precise term, .'paciticists, have grown
constantly less numerous. Noise rather
than numbers distinguished them even
from the first. But TO millions OF our
people there comes sometimes the tempts-
ton to long for peace, even though
it fails short OF victory. Has not the
torch been carried almost far enough?
Even IL taken up, may it not be held a
little less higbg
These "miniohs OF our people" are made
up OF the fathers and mothers OF the
soldiers who have gone to the front; we
are thinking particularly of the mothers.
You are the mother OF the son with our
forces overseas. A whisper comes to you
that the Germans are ready for just
peace. This whisper may come from a
neighbor, or it may come in print, or in
some other way. The neighhor, or the
author OF the lines in print. may be only
foolish, or he may he sympathizer with
Germany. Your son is beyond the Flan-
ders crosses, row on row, along the danger
line, facing the exploding shells and
poison gas OF the Implying enemy.
Other men in his company have been

these whispers. Perhaps it is not strange

PEOPLE OF MAINE
!. URGED CONSERVE
And Save FOOD
Food Administrator Says America
Must Send is, 600. 600 Tons Food
Across Atlantic Coming Year.

Orono, Maine.-E2t
: ! ! ]: !: !. J !:
less and waste less
4&UH Save on all foods
n6nn6 Practise thrift and
Hill economy in every
~ thing.
This Is what the
Maine Division OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton asks the People of the State to
do this coming year. There will be
no wheatless days and wheatless
meals: there probably win be no
meatless days; but the consumer will
be called upon to eat less, waste less,
buy less and to make better use of
what is bought.
THE Food Administration has be-
lieved from the first it is better to
have voluntary saving than to at
tempt any out and out rationing
plan. If the consumer is told he
can have SO much of a certain ar
ticle of food, he will buy the limit
of that article, whether he can use
ii or not; but when the moral re-
sponsibility of saving food rests with
each person, he will save all he can
and waste less" said Federal Food
Administrator Leon S. Merrill. who
recently returned from a conference
in Washington.
The problem before the Food Ad-
ministration now is that of building
up food reserves that will permit
America to send 10000 900 tons of
foodstuffs across the Atlantic next
year, instead of 100000 tons sent
this year Despite the bountiful har-
vest, officials of the Food Administra-
ton are unanimous in declaring that
food conservation must be intensified
to meet the growing demands of our
Army and the civilian population of
this and the Allied countries. Re-
serves must be tied up to assist the
future.
