If ten cents a day per soldier and

There is a further factor in this

Ten Cents a Day
For Your Soldier
SEVEN GREAT ORGANIZATIONS
COOPERATE TO TAKE HOME
COMFORTS INTO LIVES
OF OUR SOLDIERS
AMOUNT YOU ARE ASKED TO
RAISE is SMALL CONS1DEK-
ING NUMBER OF MEN
BENEFITED.
(Rv Mortimer L. Schiff.)

One hundred and seventy million
five hundred thousand dollars IS the
SIM asked from the American peo-
ple by the seven great organizations
working in cooperation for the well
fare and happiness OF the men IN our
army and navy. With this sum these
agencies now associated IN war ser.
vice can carry on their great task OF
bringing Fellowship and a touch OF
home comfort into the lives OF those
who have left home and dear ones to
fight for their country and the cause
of democracy.
At first glance it seems tremen-
dous sum, even in these days of gen
erous giving. But considered IN
terms of the task confronting us and
the number of men to be benefited
it is ridiculously small. Next year
our armed forces will include in the
neighborhood of five million men,
and divided among them these mill
ions will amount to less than ten
cents each a day.
Small Sum to Give.
Ten cents a day to bring comfort
and happiness to each soldier and
sailor! That seems little indeed to
give. Ten cents al day for the man
who lays his youth on the altar of
his country's need! Ten cents day
for our best and bravest who have
answered the call to defend the lib
critics of the world! Ten cents a day
to send the sustaining advantage Of
wholesome fellowship and good
cheer to the boy who went so vail
antly into that grim but necessary
business overseas!
This titanic world struggle has in
volved the use of such huge masses
of men that the problem of looking

The Least Stay-at- Can Do
All these various forces have pour

ed. The judge said he would un-
doubtedly be criticised by some Of
the democrats for doing as he ha
done, but his first duty a. this tim
was to his country. He flayed tht
malcontents of the state who seeks
to create class distinction among the
people and to array one class against
another, including the Socialists, the
l. w. w. and members of similar or
CARNATIONS, whom he declared to be
pro-Hun in their sympathies. Among
other things the Judge said.
Politics is not adjourned. Politics
and patriotism now go hand in hand,
and we should re-elect the loyal gov

dent, has enforced the laws and has
supported the policies of the United

human affairs, stern call to duty,
that has thus brought US together
and made US think of one another,
not as Protestant, Catholic and Jew,
but as fellow Americans. The crisis
will pass, and we shall conquer the

service will leave a lasting impress
sion and make for a greater toler-
ance and a finer fellowship in our
country among men of different
creeds.
/ am sure that no Jewish boy, just
back from a front line trench, bed
raggled and utterly worn out, who
has shared the home-like hospitality
of Y. M G.. A. or K. of G. hut, can
ever in his whole life pass the "Y" or
the X. of C. building in his hometown
without a Tightening of his heart

similar feeling will persist in the
! breast of Protestant or Catholic boys
who have been welcomed at the
hostels of the Jewish Welfare Board
in our environments or over there.
| We shall not be poorer Protestants,
| Catholics or Jews for this sense of
common repect and fellowship. Ger
tainly our humanity will be greatly
enriched thereby and we shall be
better democrats worthier Ameri-

Great Impetus to Future Fellowship
I am confident that these Welfare

come strangers again. When the
war is won we shall continue to CO.
operate through the long, tedious
months preceding complete demob-
ilization, when the ships available to
ferry our boys home will seem all
too few and all too slow. There will
be long period, for three million
and more of men cannot be trans
ported across the Atlantic in one
month or three, and everyone will be
impatient and perhaps at bit reckless
and irritable, so that our war work

have worked together so amiably.
Shall we go our several ways again,
or shall we still stand shoulder to

ing up a better American manhood
and womanhood in peace as well as
in war? This is problem that must
be faced courageously, and under
wise leadership / am confident 1t
will be decided in the best interests
of our common humanity I am con-
fident that we shall stick together
and benefit by one another's counsel.
The success of the United War
Work Campaign will give a great
impetus to this future fellowship, be-
besides assuring home comforts for
our young men in every branch of
the service during the coming year.
The sum Of $36.5O will cover the

More than one million telephone
calls, it is estimated, will be made in
Detroit and the state in the next few
days, asking every resident of the
state to give war savings stamps for
Christmas presents. The campaign
has just been started by Elijah G..
Poison, vice director of the Michi2
gan War Savings committee who has
sent more than $1,000 letters to ev-
cry section of the state asking con-
certed action.
''No nation on earth represents the
Christmas spirit more than ours"
says the letter. "The sgining of the
armistice has filled to overflowing
the American heart and Christmas
giving this year will be stupendous.
Go to your telephone now, call up
five or more of your friends or
friendly corporations and ask them
to give War Savings stamps for
Christmas. Get them to call up
five or more persons or corporations
and do the same as you have done.

CHANCE FOR DEVOTION

The various calls that were made
upon the people of the country before
the war closed were really responded to
as matter of self interest. 1t was to
save our own country, our own homes,
that we loaned money to-ourselves.
Now the war has been won and we have
a chance to demonstrate not how much
we love ourselves, hut how much we
love our country, the great country
whose history has gained new lustre
through the blood of heroes but recent
ly shed in it's defense. whose destiny it
has been and is to lead the world to
freedom and common justice. We can
do this by helping to provide the money
to pay the war debt, by assuming our
individual share of the burden. 1t is
fitting that we let our generosity at
Christmas time take this practical turn,
and in no way can we crafty it better
than in buying War Savings Stamps.

INFLUENZA AGAIN
BECOMES EPIDEMIC
STRICT QUARANTINE ADOPTED
IN VIENNA TOWNSHIP
Development of Twenty Cases With
in Twenty-four Hours Results in
Closing Schools and Churches

During the twenty-four hours pre-.
ceding Saturday noon, twenty new
cases of influenza having developed in
the township of Vienna. DR.. P. E.
White, local representative of the
State Board of Health, called the
health officers of the village and town.
ship together and it was decided that
conditions warranted the closing of
schools and churches and the suspension
of all public meetings and lodge meet
ings throughout the township until such
time as circumstances might permit re-
sumption. This action is in conformity
to instructions of the State Board Of
Health and is similar to that which
has been taken in many other places
throng ghout the state within the past
week.
1t was considered that not only would
the lives of many citizens be endanger-
ed if public gatherings were permitted
and quarantine regulation not strictly
enforced, but it was also known tn at
proper medical attention could not be
procured for the sick if their number
should greatly increase. Neither of
our local doctors can be considered in
the best of health. one of them is in
decidedly delicate health, and both have
been greatly overworked since the pres
ent epidemic started, making it abso
lutely impossible for them to do more
than they have been doing for the past
few weeks. AS it is, it has been i'm
possible for the doctors perso nally to
visit all who have been sick, especially
those living at distance and on bad
roads, and medicines have had occasion
ally to be sent to them. How much
worse the situation might become if
hundreds became sick can be imagined.
AS influenza is disease which is
spread by personal contact with infect
ed persons, quarantine regulations re-
quire only that persons suffering with
the disease or from its effects. or those
who are actually engaged in caring for
such persons. be confined to their places
of residence. Other people residing in
house where the disease is prevalent
are not restrained from ordinary pur-
suits. The regulations issued by DR..
White are as follows:
Inasmuch as the number of cases of
influenza in the village and township
are increasing at an alarming rate, the
Health Boards of the village and town.

TINE of all cases of influenza and the
