1t Is. however, one very useful way TO
do part OF the war work. Making life
pleasant for the man who Is making
the munitions means that the worker
will be more contented, will stay

efficient In providing q larger output

rifce Is the keynote of war efficiency.
and to win the war speedily theSs
must be sacrifices in some form on
the part OF all.
The war worker who has become a
soldier of industry and Is helping
back up the men In France should be
welcome in every household In Amer
lea. Good rooms In wholesome fami-
lies will make life pleasant for his
wife and chfldran.
