THE FRONT

The nerves Of the body are not unlike
the telegraph system at the Front. The
millions of nerve flaments are like q net
work Of wires that keep all the trenches in
close sympathy and communion. Food
supplies and reinforce1nents are dispatched
here and there and 50 the nerves send in
creased blood and n%ourishment where it is
most required. The nerve cells guide the
heart and stomach. BY this means the
stream Of blood laden With n%ourishment IS
sent to every part Of the body.
So it is that tho blood feeds the nerves.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty Loan
Bonds of both the First and Second
issues to hold fast to their bonds.
They are the best investment in the
world.
The Secretary's statement was call
ed forth by the fact that Liberty Bond
holders are being approached from
time to time by agents seeking to in
duce them to part with their Liberty
Loan Bonds and take in exchange Sc
curities which in number of cases
are of a very questionable value, and
was prompted by the desire to pro-
tect the bondholders against ill-ad-
vised disposition of their bonds.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of a Liberty
Bond will realize that the only gen
uine help that he gives his Govern
ment is keeping his bond as an in
vestment so long as it is possible for
him to do so. He states, however,
that no just objection lies to the sale
of a Liberty Bond where real neces-
sity exists for its sale.
