work upon the drive. They are as busy as beav-

| The war mothers of America have come to this
way of thinking. They have ventured out
| upon program which promises much aid TO
the government, both in the matter of bringing
home to each person the necessity for an early
lstart in Liberty dollar saving and in actual sub
scription for bonds.
Their plan is this: The national organization
and, in many cities, local chapters have inaugu-
rated a War Mothers fund.-. This fund is to be
| made up wholly of Liberty Loan Bonds. And it
will be built of dimes. Amy person may give one
dime to the fund.- The dimes, stacked up into
dollars, will be invested in Liberty Loan Bonds of
the Fourth Drive. These bonds will become the
financial support of the mothers of American
soldiers and sailors. They will be the
fund upon which the organization of War Moth
ers may lean whenever their program of war
work rests too heavily upon private purses. The
interest from these bonds will be used in win
ming the efforts until peace comes and in aid
ing crippled soldiers and needy War Mothers in
later years

making their subscriptions to the loan over-top

PENSACOLA'S OPPORTUNITY

PENSACOLA'S OPPORTUNITY
In the appeal from the American Red Cross
IN behalf of the needy of Belgium and France,
IN opportunity is afforded Pensacolians to aid in
work which is of vast Importance in the recla-
nation of the devastated country, over which
he hordes of the Huns have swept.
1t is not alone that in the salvage of garments
there is tremendous saving of money, but 1t
must be remembered that the world is facing a
shortage of clothing and materials, and for this
reason the gift of a substantial garment means
as much, if not more, at this time, than it could
possibly have meant at any other period of the
worlds history.
Pensacola has been asked to raise more than
xix thousand pounds of clothing as the contribu-
ion of this community, and has been given one
week in which to accomplish this task. Else
where in these columns are listed the needs Of
he Red Cross, in this campaign, which include
lothing for both sexes and all ages.
There are few who have not some article which
hey can AFFORD to donate to this cause. 1t has
also been suggested that merchants may find on
their shelves out-of-date garments or materials
that are shop-worn, but which substantial
and would prove of value.
Here in own country we can hardly have
any conception of what the civilian population in
The occupied territory has suffered. Every house
3old has some spare clothing, worn or outgrown,
IF little use here, but desperately needed by the
destitute there.
This extract from letter of a well-to-do lady
If Brussels shows the conditions exactly "Per-
laps you will laugh when you hear that I wear
cloak made from my husbands garde civique
oyercoat, waist made from football shirt and
a skirt made of dyed bed sheet. Mother had
suit made of the table cloth, J. and NJ. have
made of burlap. But all this is only amusing in
comparison with the wretchedness of the ypopula-
ion. After ALL we remain calm and confident of
gictory.
A recent Brussels advertisement says: Il will
give up to 125 francs ($25) for new or worn bed
sheets" There is an immediate need for every
sort of garment, blankets, sheets and shoes.
The wonderful results of the clothing campaign
Of last March assisted in helping to meet the de-
nands, but it is realized that there are ten mil

HOW THE ARMY SAVES SUGAR AND

it did not contain sugar or glycerine so that
