HELPING THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friend have been wanting 10
write you for long time to let you
know how much appreciate your good
letters in The Journal. 1 read every let
ter and enjoy them very much. They
are so much help to me.
I am married; the mother OF two
sweet. healthy children, a little girl and
a little boy. They are SO much com
pany I never tire working for them.
1 am going to call you Aunt Lizzie,
because I love you, and my mothers
name was Lizzie. But 1 never knew her.
God sent the Angel of Death and took
her away when 1 was a wee ozpy two
weeks old. So you see, Auntie, didn't
know what a mothers love was.
Well, Aunt Lizzie, my hubby is
thing we have made on our farm that
will be any good to US. L dearly love
farm life. 1 don't want to live in town.
l have signed the card and hope to
be able to live up to all the require.
ments. I want to teach my two little
children to live for others, not all for
self. They must have food that will
make strong bodies; they must have
eggs and something sweet. and their
tender little minds must be kept OF the
awful side of the war. 1t is right to
tell them that we cannot have so much
sugar, or meat or flower, because there
are people across the big ocean that
could not make crops last year and we
must divide Sincerely,
MRS. IRENE PETERSON.

four or five inches long. Every sucker
will have an ear, so you do not have
to go far before you gather enough for

The month of February was mild and
sunny; there was a lot of gardening
done last week. 1t seems as if winter

Japan MOVING INTO THE WAR
ZONE

The signs of the times indicate that
Janan-maybe China also-win soon en-
ter the war struggle, coming westward
into Siberia. from Manchuria in ASIA.
If this happens-and the indications
are ALI that way--then Russia may ma
itself between the upper and the neither
uoiIlstones and when Germany slices
off one-third of Russian territory on
one side, Japan will slice of another
segament-maybe another third on the
Oriental side Japan has been sore
ever since the Jap-Russian war in
1908 The JRps were not SATISFIED at
the settlement. although they submitted
TO the terms of agreement, entered INTO
at Portsmouth, y. H. Japan was near
" exhausted. or these terms would
have been rejected.
siberian Russia is crossed by the
great trans Siberian railway and II
takes A train thirteen days to cross
from Moscow to Hardin i'm Manchurla.
4 lady friend of mine made the trip
across from Hardin to Moscow and
she told me that the peasant class were
simple-hearted farmers and had plenty
20 live on. and she. found nicer milk
and butter on that trip than in any
other country cultivated by peasant
farmers.
The laps are fond of war. They
don't mind dying in battle-and If the
Japs get a good start across Russia,
the kaiser may find it not so easy to
subiugate Russia either in Asia or Eu-
rome.

Our Boys in France
and Home Protection

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One
in four of our boys at home was sick,
rejected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if We want to increase
our chances for a long life, DIR. Pierce
of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, MY,
says that you should drink plenty of
water daily between meals. Then pro-
cure at your nearest drug store, Anuric
double strengthl. This UAn-u-ric
drives the uric acid ont and cures back
ache and rheumatism.
If We wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times q
day for a month. Sixty cents a package.
Send DIR. Pierce ten cents for trial
package. 7Auuric many times moro
potent than lithia. eliminates uric acid
as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial Will convince you.

PATRIOTIC NOTIFIES AND FAFEER

Dear Mrs. Thomas: l have been ST.
lent reader of The Journal for six years.
Always enjoy Mrs. Feltons and your
! letters so much
1t never occurred to me until yester-
day, after reading your letter of Feb
ruary 90, ION Which Side Are You?'
that would ever write you letter, but
Oh! 1 couldn't keep still. I woke up.
Wake up mothers, wives and sweet
| hearts, don't let the kaiser for one min
ute think we would do anything to dis
| courage our loved ones Let US wake
ND and do our bit / can near some one
say, We'll, she can talk or write that
way; she has no one there"
Oh, yes l have. L have two precious
boys God bless them. l gave them to
my country and as / read a piece of
poetry entitled GO, My Boy, Where
Duty Calls" L felt that L had done mine.
If L never see them again I know they
did their duty and are giving their pre-
cious young lives for noble cause.
When l read the slurs thrown on the
mothers, wives and sweethearts of our
dear boys it makes my blood boil and L
feel that we should do our bit, though
small it may be.
Ny youngest boy has been in the reg
ular army for three years. We haven't
seen him since he left, he was preparing
to come home when the war came up.
He wrote and said, Mother, l may have
to go across and if l sec you no more
in life say that Alfred was brave to
the end and fell fighting for his coun-
try and we will meet in heaven"
, The other one was a national guard
and did border (Mexican) duty. He was
home i'm April. When he left his father
said, well, Terry, when will we hear
from you again, where will you be-
He said, 81 don't know, but if I'm slain
YOU can say that he died brave and for
a noble cause somewhere in France
God bless our boys every one of them
We are willing to do everything we can
for them. and I believe all the mothers,
wives and sweethearts feel as l do and
have our heatless, wheatless, meatless
and sweetless days to win the victory
and let the kaiser know we have no yell
low streak. We will tell our boy Coz
speed" and not a one of them be called
"A Stacker. I hope we will hear from
other mothers. wives and sweethearts.
! don't see how they can keep still after
reading your letter. Let us wake up sis
tors and get busy. Let us know which
side you are on.
With best wishes to you ] remain.
