ct HAVE just received a letter" said
l o. J. Binford, from F. A Sober
ling president Of the Lincoln highway,
IN which he says he believes that the
spreading Of information. and the
boosting OF the Lincoln highway to
completion is one way OF winning the
war at home. I agree with him.
1T is the first serious attempt in
something over 100 years. TO build a
road across this continent.
The first one, namely, the Old Ma
tional road, started west with
federal aid. and was headed for the
Pacific, but Il being about three times

who are citizens representing all
walks Of life. When these budgets
have been passed by the trustees, then
a certain sum is added to meet pos
sible failure in payment OF pledges,
a certain amount is added for emer-
gency relief such as we could have
handily used for the recruiting Of
the local infantry and cavalry troops.
Then a campaign is launched to raise
the total required and every citizen
is given an opportunity TO contribute.
These contributions are payable
monthly or quarterly in advance
Objectionable chief objection TO
this method Of raising funds comes
from those philanthropies which de-
clare they need not this method since
they can raise all the money they
need, whenever they need it and can
always go over the top" This is a
selfish argument and not worthy Of
war times United efforts are needed
in all things and this is a method for
enlisting united effort for every
worthy war charity.

Eating War Bread" VIII Increase
Average Human Life by Ten Years
HOOvezed Flour Contains the Elements Which Made Pos
sble the Blood and Tissue of the Prehistoric
"Iron Man"

Washington, D. c., May While
many people bewail the fact that they
are obliged to eat what is commonly
known as 'war bread" very few re-
alize that the conttituents of this new
flour are such as tend to greatly in
crease the life, strength and health of
the average individual Equally few
appreciate the fact that the ordinary
forms Of white -four, which had grown
in popularity as civilization advanced
it's stages, lacked the iron and sui
pilates so essential to the human sys-
tenn.
Although purely organic, assim-
liable iron is found in beets, celery,
ONIONS, beefsteak, lamb chops and a
few other eatables in minute guam
titles, the food of modern civilization
so greatly lacked this prime essential
that it failed to properly nourish the
blood, tissue and nerve cells of the
body. Sufficient quantities of "war
bread" will strengthen the entire sys-
tenn and will greatly aid digestion if
eaten regularly, as it contains consid-
cradle organic iron-which not only
clears and thins the blood, but also
nourishes and invigorates it, thus
serving as a remarkable "spring
tonic" as well.
Very few people, however, will care
to eat enough of this bread to prop
eriy revitalize their system and thus
revert to the type of those days when
man, clothed in animal skins, cusked
the marrow from split bones and was
content to make his repast on black,
