VIII Prove Stuff We're Made OF.

The few people in America who
have seen the new 1919 Home Card OF
the United States Food Administra
ton. giving the food saving program
for next year. call It, the most sensa
tional statement yet issued to the
American people by the Food Admin
istration.'
1t is printed in matter-of-fact black
and white. 1t is couched in unemo-
tional language. 1t is one simple state
ment of fact after the other.
But 1t calls for the greatest sacri-
flee. the greatest conservation effort
ever asked voluntarily of any nation.
Here's Just hint:
To meet the promises that Herbert
Hoover made to the Allies at the re-
ence held in London. each person IN
America must be responsible for the
exporting next year OF $50 pounds OF
food stuffs, saved at his own table.
Hoover has promised that the 10O,-
00O,00 OF us will save and ship 1850,
900 tons of food to the Allies next year
half as much again as last year.
Naturally this immense saving Of all
kinds of food: this tightening by hall
again Of the nations belt-can only be
accomplished II every household does
its part.
Because of the "nu" tho Home Card
campaign has been postponed from DC
tober ~ to the week Of December :.
On the success Of this compaiSn
and the carrying out Of the Home
Cards suggestions after 1t IL hung in
every kitchen. win depend the nations
success In living up to its Information
al obligations.
Churches, schools, lodges. "four-min
ute men," Women's Council Of Defense
speakers, Neighborhood circles and
many other agencies will help make
the coming Home Card campaign .
thrilling, sinsshinS, decisive. victorious
part of winning the war.
Two hundred thousand cards-ap
proximately-will be given out In
Colorado.
Until this campaign begins-dslaysd Cd
~ 1t is by the health conditions Of
the state-the Food Administration
urges that food saving shall not slack
en-; that all foods be conserved to the
limit all the time: and especially. that
short rations OF WHEAT. MEAT
FATS AND SUGAR be served at home
so that our fighting force in France
may have full rations and full yI0OR

a PROPHECY

The following poem was written by
May Covell Rathborn. as suggested to
her guides by the lecture delivered by
Rev. Oscar A. Edgerly, at Lily Dale,
N. r., on Sunday, Sept. 1:
From out the distant realms of space
Will be revealed an immortal face
That man may see, and know his own
Is planned around the mercy throne.
No place portrayed by mortal mind,
No harps of gold will you here find;
No throne bedecked with jewels rare,
No streets Of gold, no crowns to wear.
It's just the mercy seat of love,
Where forces from the spheres above
Meet, and prepare the work to do,
Ere spirit be revealed to you.
Gods plan, to open wide the door,
Unseal page Of ancient lore,
And prove that death is only change
Into life of broader range.
Death throws the portals open wide,
That you may cross the Great Divide
And enter into higher life,
Where all is love, and there's no strife.
Whore conscience is the master mind
That governs all. Ger here you'll find
We Judge not, neither will condemn;
We love and trust our fellow men.
And when through death we're born
And ffnd eternal life we've gained,
Fen would we turn once more to earth
And prove that death Is second birth.
The proof is what you mortals seek;
No message we can write or speak
Will satisfy, tho thinking brain
To see and know 10 now your aim.
The tiny rap, which startled all,
Was just = challenge. or . call,
To mortsls, from the spirit world.
To stir the heart and brain Of man.
To delve for facts, thus aid our plan;
To lead YOU onward. step by step,
Until this knowledge you accept.
Mark you the changes since that day;
The march OF progress none could
stay.
You've won the victory, have no fear,
For soon you'll see, as well as hear.
For, true to Gods eternal plan,
viii come the time when spirit can
Reveal itself to mortal eye
No man can then the truth deny.
For now. when scientist and sage
Demand more proof, we'll turn page
In history, of Gods own plan,
When was revealed the Christ to man.
What once has been, can be again,
And we are ready to proclaim
That soon will be revealed to man
His so.called dead. Such is our plan.
This work was decreed long years in
the past.
Gods laws are unchanging. immuta-
BILE, vast.
As true as the sun, moon and stars,
in their birth,
So will this law be held to it's pur-
pose on earth.
Stupendous the work, and marvellous
quite;
Going steadily onward, Gods hand in
His might
Ever guiding and guarding, while
pointing the way
To fulfillment of law as unchanging
as day.
The cycle of time is nearly complete
Through which will evolve this won
drous feat.
From the spheres beyond, Gods mes
sengers come,
And proclaim to the world, "It can
be done!"
