Americans

There are 100000 of us in the United States
all in the family of our Uncle Sam.
And Uncle Sam needs money-your money
everybodys money. He doesn't ask you to
give to him; he wants to borrow and pay you
interest for it.
Maybe you didn't have $50 or $500 to lend him
in Liberty Bonds, but surely you have Is
cents. If we, all of u.s. buy one thrift stamp
Just one stamp apiece-that is $22,500O00
and if everyone Of us buys $4.12 worth-25
cents worth from time to time for sixteen
times-that's S370,8OO,OO0
Your pin money does help. Doesn't it.
We don't know how much money you have
how much you haVe-how little. It doesn't
matter, anyway. For it is getting to point
that every man-every Wornan-every boy
every grl-must make the business of helping
win this wharf.-the most important thing on
earth.
Like the Liberty Bonds, the war savings GER
tlticates bear per cent interest On January
l. 1923 each certificate will be worth SIS.
These stamps are exchangeable at face value

MEN SINCE Jan. |

LONDON. June 21.-GreAt Britain
has lost since January last T2.14O
men killed and 800. 900 wounded and
missing total Of 372,140. Phillip
MorreIl told the House Of Commons.
Foreign Minister Balfour replied:
1--WE mean to continue the war for
great ends and motives. Nobody
wants its continuance for petty aims.
I'VE passiOnately desire an honor
able peace. but It is attainable only
by hEhting."
From many quarters today the
sentiment OF Mr.. Balfour ~ echoed.
Great Britain wants to continue the
war until an honorable peace Is
gained.
Phillip Morren, who made the
statement in the House giving the
losses for the past i've months, urged
that no diplomatic opportunity BE-
lost to settle the war by agreement
Mr.. Balfour replying to queries Of
.paciist members Of the House said
that:
so far as I know there is no diff
ference between President Wilson's
war aims and those OF the allies.
They are working toward the same
end Any reasonable proposal will
be considered on its inertia"
In answer to another query, Nj
Balfour said that the question Of
whether or not German and Austrian
ships should be excluded from allied
ports for a certain period after the
war was "a matter OF constant com
munication with our allies, including
the United States"

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment:
I have been running down for the
last year or two. [ am all tagged out,
have no am bition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether l
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work I used to
do some years ago. If [ were as
strong as 1 was, I could earn good
money. I know I ought to treat with
a good specialist, but [ cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend and dearly; yet you do not
get it.
Let me tell you why.
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore, you cam
not work and earn what you used to.
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing or your capital-Which is your
health-by allowing it to run down,
and SO the interest (your working
capacity Is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
now YOU earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul in your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought OF
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are going to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar you MIGHT earn, but
don't, is an actual expense to you.
You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry, anxiety, dependency,
want and deprivation for your family
The dollar you take out OF your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. 1t is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages, health and hap
piness at home.
Which will you choose?
Can you hesitate?
