Why you should give
twice as much as you
ever gave before!

TINE need is for sum 1919 greater
/ than any gift ever asked for since
the war began. The Government has
fixed this sum at $170,5o0,00o.
BY giving to these seven organizations
all at once, the cost and effort of six
additional campaigns is saved.
Unless Americans do give twice as
much as ever before, our soldiers and
sailors may not enjoy during 1919 their

100 Leading Stage Stars
1000 Athletic Directors
$500 Libraries supplying S, 10000 books

$4,000 Big-brother Secretaries
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double, you make sure
that every fighter has the cheer and COM
forts of these seven organizations every
step of the way from home to the front
and back again. You provide him with
a church, theatre, cheerful home, a
store, school, club and an athletic field
and knowledge that the folks back

You have loaned your money to supply
their physical needs.
