OBLIGATION DOES NOT CEASE
11IL STAMPS ARE BOUGHT
County Director Of ". 8. s. Sales r.
L. Christy Calls Attention to
Stamp Sales.


Citizens of PrOwers County:
Although PrOwers county succeed
ed in pledging the entire amount
of its War Savings Stamp quota
amounting to $274.63O. the duty of
each individual pledgor is not full
filled until the stamps are actually
purchased.
Out of the amount pledged as is
shown above the people of this
county have actually purchased
$l5O.OOO in War Savings Stamps.
This leaves q balance of $124630 to
be purchased during the month of
December.
1t is true that the war is over SO
far as actual fighting is concerned,
but that does not relieve us from
our obligation to buy the War Saw
ing Stamps which we have pledged
to buy. The war is not over with
the civilian population until every
pledge which we have made is full
filled.
We have several million men in
France and in the United States
who have made good their war SER
vice pledge-we can do no less than
make good our war service pledge.
The most appropriate Christmas
gift this year is War Savings
Stamp. The most beautiful Christ
mas stickers this year are War Saw
ings Stamps.
We have been buying bonds and
stamps to back up the bOys-nOw

Why matted milk was originated
because of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

(which are destroyed by ordinary
cooking) preserved intact.
To good rich milk HORLICK
added the valuable extract of Mailed
Barley and Wheat, containing all the
nutrition Of these grains, and reduced
them to a powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble in
water. 1t was found that by the
oction of the Malt ferments on the
milk, it's digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, sc as
to render it easily assimilated by the
weak stomach of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This well balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which a third of a
century's experience has amply
proved capable in itself of supporting
infant and adult life.
This new milk food HORLICK
named Matted Mix; it has proved a
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, of every
race and cline, and is to be found in
every city in the civilized world.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-12-23

nREVIOUS to 1883 it was ncces-
sary to add milk to all prepared
L foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make a properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem Of how to supply
a reliable milk for people of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis,
u. S. A., after years of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORLICK discovered a process of
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
-ation in q vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents Of fresh milk, would keep
indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining its
natural qualities when dissolved, and
with ell the valuable Vitamines

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR

The war is teaching the American
people anew the dignity of labor.
We as a people had almost forgotten
that there was in labor for iabor's
sake dignity not to be found in
inherited greatness or inherited mil
lions. We had come to view labor
too much from the viewpoint OF the
old biblical myth of the curse pro-
nounced on the first man. that in
the sweat of his face should he eat
bread. In short, we had come to
regard labor as a necessary evil,
instead of the unalloyed blessing that
it really is. All this the war con-
ditions have changed. People whose
hands have heretofore been guiltless
of the crime of toll. now take a
pardonable pride in the fruits OF
their labors, and many whose IN
comes range in six and seven figures
are in the thick of the industrial
fray, and there as genuine industrial
units. This is as 1t should be.
We are getting back to the point
where we can regard the true OBJECT
of life as achievement, rather than
the sensual enjoyment Of the fruits
of others achievement. We are
told that the great ruler OF the uni
verse can and does bring good out
of evil. Certain it is that many
items of good to humanity are being
evolved from this the most devastat-
ing war that civilization has ever
suffered.
