 It is now well known that wars are 4 no longer won upon battlefield alone
 said Mfr Comnor. Strength for all be- thi1G the line, victory for our army. land life tor our soldiers all depend lupon the most eco1on1icals use of ouf resources We must consider whether | or not our surplus labor and niateri- Il als are 10 be used for personal satfs- ! faction CT tor the benefit of the world s freedom That: is the battk ground Ibehind- the lines. That is where the tissue rests and the source from which victory must be assured We must EreinsfnbeF that. it takes seven men to make q softiief This is not 8 guess Thor variation of that old joke that lit takes nine tailors to make man. It is tie careful estimate of the gener- Eal staf sba sed on the experience of EGsreat Britain. This figure gives the best measure. of the industrial task i. ahead of the United States as for ev- { cry man actually on the firing, limo six linen back e the line must be mebflfz- led in direct war industries. And this fn1eans that the seven men that make 1l a sold.es eGnsist of the man in the ] Eurifor1n. two workers to support him behind tke lines in France and four Eothers to produce his supplies in ] America and transport them safely l, across the ocean.

 Hess the six boys in the overalls art ,lconeinuAIly on their jobs. Already tft , United States has put one million anf s Ia half men in uniform. and that wa: !. Iduite job, but is not to be compare' kwith the task of recruiting the otf1el

During tn, | next twelve months we must provid' nineteen billion dollars worth of wa i, munitions and wills need 50 million ssI more for other expenses. No natioi 2 in the history of the world has eve :. been called upon to provide fund
 lequal to those America must furfisl 2 for the task which, so far as w { know has just begun and how must VI ' do it.. There is but one way. The na { tfon must conserve Every man. yT0 . man and child must learn and praetic l. the lessons of thrift, self f-deniaI, an n saving, even to the point of sacri : fee. This great army behind til i lines of which every one of us pres

How can we do this we ma r ask, and feel convinced that we hay . performed our part in a patriotic man :. ner. By conservation of money " ,e1 have all tie more with which to pur ,- chase Liberty bonds, thrift stamp - war savings certificates and by the ir Is vestment of our funds in the secur Ls ties mentioned we are performing or IS small duty. toward raising this fabl f lous sum of billions of dollars wifie

About Food Conservation.
 ls There gre numberless daily instani
 es that may occur to us after lit
 reflection whereby the conservation
 food would be of enormous value as ourselves, our men at the front and IT our allies I take a simply ilIustr: ie tion, sugar. and take this simply 5, n cause it happens to be one thing. u ~ shortage of which is discussed mere le this time than any other thing, lirle 'u possibly coal. Taking the populatit y Eof the United States as oyer a hundrt
 million it has been demonstrated
 theory as well as in figures and
 pounds that if each person in u D. United States would use one oun g. less of sugar each day, which,
 measurement is a little over one te at spoonful, that that one ounce at Stl 'n end of the year would increase to su,
 Ian enormous amount that ait wou
 . weigh one million, one hundred al oI Ieishty-fi five thousand tons and wol IS fill a train which would be over eig A- hundred miles long and would req.
 nearly from New York to Chicaf
 That Ay being thoughtful is what q at be done with sugar, and our men
 well ss ouf allies are sorely in need g. this commodity. Gut down your ca s. dy bill and you help increase [
 length of this train as well as ma = less frequent your visits to the de1iti
 and say this without any refieeti BY on the D. D. SIS as they, like ip lawyers, are classed as another of { x necessary evils heaped upon human H. ty. Take as another simple i1Iastf + ton, butter. A pat or a serving 'ar AItter is 8 mere mite of a thing. The lp;i are- at least sixty-four of them to les pound, In many households the b, lo- ter left on the plates probably we, rrS equal one pat, or in weight about or ,n- quarter of an ounce.
