HOW TO HELP WIN THE WAR
advice to Americans Between the
Ages of Thirty and Fifty.)
By GEORGE ABE.

While the war is on, the active
work in support Of the boys at the
front will be shouldered cheerfully by
men and women a little too old for
acrobatic service, but not yet frosted
at the temples.
They will supply part of the money
and most of the ''pep" needed to sup
ply and encourage huge army in the
field.
1t is for them to realize that we
have passed the period Of doubling
and question answering.
We have come to the days when
hustling must supplant conservation.
1t was all right six months ago to
spare an hour day in trying to con-
vince some one that we were really
justified in accepting the insolent
challenge thrown at us by Germany,
You are to be forgiven if, even
four months ago, you spent valuable
time trying to convince sluggish
minority that
/ First-Government bonds are a
safe investment.
Second-Pro-G German propaganda
is to be hit in the head.
Third--The Allies are to be trust
ed.
Fourth-The Red Cross is above sus-
picion and does not obtain either
money or knitted goods under false
pretenses.
+ Fifth-All Taxes which have been
levied are justified by extraordinary
and unprecedented conditions.
Sixth-This is not rich mans
war; it was not precipitated by any
Wall Street influence; it is not con-
cerned over private investments; it is
not a grand benefit for muuition max
ers.
Seventh-Fair promises have no
value when they are made by Grim
inal who finds himself backed into a
corner.
Eighth-That men in our training
camps and aboard transports and sta
toned somewhere in France are be-
ing safeguarded as. American soldiers
never before were looked after, as
regards wholesome food, proper san
itation, prevention of disease, and
moral guidance.
