BUY UNTIL IT HELPS'

Buy until it hurts" "Give until it hurts, are two expressions that often used the one referring to the purchase of Liberty Bonds and the other to contributions to the Red Cross the Y. M c. A. or kindred work
 Both are fundamentally wrong in meaning They should be sent to the scrap heap of rubbish and suppanted by Buy until it helps' and "Give until it helps"
 Do not for moment aingloriousy think that this until it helps the country the Red Cross or the M. C. A. organizations. It means buy give until it helps you and gives you clearer understanding of your responsibility. g.
 Buy until theps" you by broadening your vision of the war and heastrugge to save ciwizaAon,sA @2 j.:
 Buy Liberty Bonds not out of the surplus which you can spare without feeling. ... Ls8 tSJ !t'% 15 q: Buy not merely because the purchase of Liberty Bonds is strengthening the nations power to fight
 But buy because your soul needs the quckenng in; fluence of wider conception of liberty and humanity and civilization And the freely you buy the greater will be the ennobng ou your soul You will be helping yourself and in that way you will at the same time be helping the nation and civilization.
 It is no act of charity to buy Liberty Bonds. It is merely contributing moety out of your ability great or small may be- for the purchase of the engines to stop the confagraon which, having swept over much ot the world is sweeping directly toward your house. and you
 must save your house by your work or else recrean y throw your neghbors the responsibility of saving you while you stand off and shrk your duty.
 Buying Liberty Bonds is to save your wife, your mother your daughter from the last degradation which women can suffer in Belgium and France and to save your property and your nation from destruction.

ONR BANK SAVINGS SAFE UNLESS GERMANY WINS

There seems to have been very insidous propagan- da carried on obviousby secret agents of Germany to the effect that savings banks deposits to be conscat ed Ip is difficult to believe that any person in America would credit such report for an instant. Secretary McAdoo says that the absurty of these statements is manifest but in order to alay the fears of few who might be alarmed by such reports he repeats officially that these rulnors wholly baseess
 There but thing that will in the whether deposited in savings banks or any other banks or invested in Liberty Bonds any other in- vestmens and that thing is German victory Tt is not the American Government that people should fear but the German Government and with the American sol ders fighting they in France and the American pie supporting their government they in America the American people, their liberty their rights and their savings are safe. #

Pershing Visits .HOSpital-

Even the stress of world war does not cause an American officer to neg lect his men because they are disabled. General Pershing recently visited American Red Cross Hospitals in Paris, told the men that they had fought splendidly and that America was proud of them. Personal conver- sations with the men in many of the wards made "Black Jack" very popu- lar and during the visit he met and greeted number of men who had fought under him in Mexico and in the Philippines. Nurses and doctors also came in for expressions of appre- citation, and Major James H. Perkins, Commissioner of the American Red Cross, who accompanied him, was asked to convey personal messages to those he could not talk to himself in his limited time. '.

Red Cross Nurses Needed=~.s 2. a.g

Women who really want to go to Europe in war work should investi- gate the call for Nurses Aids made by the American Red Cross. There is urgent need for this class of workers and the time of preparation is so brief that it especially appeals to those who earnestly desire to get in actual military service.,a The qualifi- cations which include first aid, ele- mentary hygiene and home care of the sick, and 240 hours training in am ac- credited hospital, can be had through your Red Cross Chapter Nursing Com mittee. The Red Cross asks you to investigate.

Means Home and
 |MOther-E

The American Red Cross Nurse means home and mother to the wound ed soldier in the Base Hospital in France. He can talk to her-she can understand him and his slang. Her training gives her the opportunity, her woman's tenderness and devotion the means of helping to keep up the nor ale of the Army and Navy, and bring America closer to the boys fighting and dying over there. The American boys need American nurses. Only the kindred spirit aroused by a common language can bridge the three thous- and odd miles between France and the Statue of Liberty.
