need several hours' cooking, and are
often improved BY being left on the back

package suggest.

LOYALTY OF
NEW AMERICANS

Response Of Americans of foreign
birth or immediate foreign extraction
to the support Of the war In the Third
Liberty Loan has been estimated at
the national headquarters In Wash
ington as about half. or 41h% Of the
entire number of persons subscrib-
ing to that loan. Their subscriptions
totaled 3741.ls7.00o or TN per cent
Of the whole amount subscribed: Az
most Of these citizens are not of the
so-called possessing class but of the
non-possessing mass this Is regarded
as gratifying amount indicating the
loyalty Of these persons to the land
Of the Stars and Stripes.
BY taking at random detailed re-
ports Of the 88 different nationalities
throughout the United States, about
10000 individual subscriptions estab-
lished an average of a fraction over
$10b per person. Taking this aver
age as q basis the number Of indi-
viduals Of foreign birth or immediate
foreign extraction subscribing to the
loan was about 7.061,306.
The nationalities represented BY
these subscribers included the Scot
fish. Albanian. Armenian. Assyrian.
Belgian. Bohemian. Chinese, Bulga-
rian. Croatian. Danish. French, Fin
nish, German. English, Greek, Hol-
landish. Hungarian, italian. Japanese,
Jewish, Jugoslavs. Lithuanians, Let
tish. Norwegian. Polish. Roumanian.
Ruthenian, Portuguese. Russian. Ser
bian. Slovenian, Swedish. Swiss. Scan
dinavian. Syrian. Ukranian.
AS the war goes on and the need
seems greater there is no doubt that
these newer Americans will subscribe
as literally as the older ones to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. They appre-
ciate more than ever before the ideals
Of the United States and have become
convinced that they are vastly more
substantial than dreams for is not

LOVE OF COUNTRY.

America is not rationed. Her
people have been asked, however to
keep within two pounds Of sugar per
person per month for table and cook
ing use. In public restaurant the
other day, d man was seen to empty
the contents of the envelope Of sugar
furnished him and then nonchalantly
supplement this supply with very
generous helping from large sized
envelope Of sugar which he drew
from an inside pocket. There was no
outward sign Of any feeling Of guilt.
He thought nothing about It He
cared less. He merely knew that he
wished three spoonfuls Of sugar in
his coffee and could get but one at
the restaurant. Therefore he would
buy extra sugar and carry it around
with him. Is that man true to his
country?
England Is on a sugar ration. The
wife of the British Food Controller
remarked recently that she and her
husband and the housekeeper were
saving the whole of their sugar ration
for jam making. They 60 without 1t
In their coffee and use substitutes In
cooking.
In this way enough sugar has been
saved to can a gross and half tins
Of fruit. This is used for the inva-
lded who they have In their home.
This is a real love Of country.

bought generously Of War Savings
Stamps and have contributed largely

now they are ready to subscribe to

WHAT you SUBSCRIBE FOR.

When you subscribe to Fighting
Fourth Liberty Loan bond you sub
scribe to the sentiment that the
world must be made safe for democ-
racy and subscribe to the fund that
is to make the world safe for democ-
racy. You subscribe to the
belief that innocent women and
children on unarmed ships shall not
be sent to the bottom Of the sea; that
women and children and old men
shall not be ravished and tortured and
murdered under the plea Of military
necessity; that nurses shall not be
shot for deeds Of mercy. nor hospital
ships be sunk without warning. or
hospitals and unfortified cities be
bombed or cannonaded with long
range guns.

TEN WAR COMMANDMENTS.

Ten war commandments have been
given to the people Of France by the

tons which are imposed upon you.
Reflect upon the sufferings Of those
who are fighting for you. upon the
martyrdom Of the population whose
hearths have been devastated by the
enemy: and the tenth. Remember
that victory belongs to those who can
hold out a quarter Of an hour the
longest"
