AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events it
is Interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, "no
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

NO ONE SUFFERED HERE,

The marvel of our voluntary food
saving, now that we are getting re-
Suits" is that no one ever actually
suffered any hardship from it; that
we all are better in health and spirit
and better satisfied with ourselves be-
cause Of our friendly self-denial.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-12-05

Beware tuberculosis after in
f1uenza. No need to worry if :
you take precautions in time.
Don't diagnose your own con-
dition. Have your doctor exam
inc your lungs several times at
monthly intervals. Build up your
strength with right living, good
food and plenty of fresh air.
Don't waste money on patent
: medicines advertised to cure tu-
berculosiS,
Become a fresh-air crank and
enjoy life.

Il believe we could easily save one
hundred thousand lives annually in
the United States if all the people
would adopt the system of fresh air

culosis sanatoria. There is nothing
mysterious about it-no specific medi-
cine, no vaccine. The important thing
is right living, good food and plenty Of
fresh air.
