They are the silent sales agents

careful choosing. Hardly had the
second Liberty loan campaign
closed before the country's fore
most artists and designs were in
vited to go to work on posters for
the third loan.
The result is a collection of strik-
ing posters, considered artistically
and psychologically better than
any yet attempted in the two pre-
vious loan drives. Soon they VIII
be familiar sights in store window :
on bf1lboards, and all public
places.
In addition, five million window
stickers, 5O000000 poster stamps,
and 16 900. 900 badges have been or
dered and will be ready for the
opening day of the campaign.
Some of the designers of the
Liberty loan posters are Howard
Chandler Christy, Joseph Pencil,
J. c. Leyendecker, Sydney Riesen-
berg, Herbert Paus, = Henry IA

contributed their work without pay
and scores of other artists submit

FOOD THE SOLDIER REQUIRES


The general knows to q nicely just
what part each regiment is to play In q
campaign, and the girl may learn to
marshal the foods represented In the
FIVE great groups so that she knows
just which group of foods will pro-
vide strong muscles to carry the sol
der into battle, which will furnish
strong bones to meet the onslaught,
which the heat for the struggle, and
finally, how much driving-power Is
needed to carry 1t through, according
to Winifred Stuart Gibbs In St Mich
olas.
30, then, when we marshal our forces
we find that a man needs in a day
IL ounces Of one, or of O combination,
Of the following: Meat, poultry,
cheese, dried vegetables, fish or eggs
To vary the above he may count every
glass Of milk drunk equal to an ounce
of any one Of the others.
The soldiers, either In home or mill
tary life, must have four pounds OF
fresh fruit and vegetables In order to
keep the bony structure in good condi-
ton. He will need the three-Quarters
of cupful of fat (this includes but
ter, Oil, the fat of meat eaten, or any
other fat In the daily diet) to keep
him warm, and to this group he must
add one and one-fourth pounds OF
bread or cereal: and finally, In order
to complete the necessary amount OF
driving-power, he must have two
ounces of sugar or one-third Of cup
| full Of strip.
