Save Fuel, Food and Transportation
Cook Electrically!

Electric cooking has and should
have an increasingly important posi-
ito min the Conservation program.
Every woman is interested in in
creased economies and added eff
cheney for the home. She must,
therefore, be acquainted with all of
the many advantages Of cooking with
electricity.
The consumer is the one who does
the actual saving of these three es-

most by carefully explaining the ad-

war times, as well as peace.

The Price of Stacking

Buying Liberty Bond isn't mat
ter of compulsion; it is a matter OF
choice. There is no law, which COM
pels you to invest IN Uncle Sans
war securities. No adjuster to come
around and see that you have pur-
chased your quota. No penalty you
must pay if you fail to meet your
duty to your country. There is no
CONSUMPTION of your dollars No
questienaires to fill out.
You can be Stacker If you will.
But ultimately your sins may find
you out. For if Uncle Sam is unable
to meet his financial needs through
bond sales he will dip into your
pockets by the more direct and GER
tain method of taxation. He must
have money for this war. And if he
is forced to taxation as last resort
the chances are it viii be just a lit
tie the most drastic taxation America
has ever known. None will escape,
nor viii any holding of value
