him any worse than numbers or others
miss their people. Householders, make
life as pleasant for the soldiers as you
can; never pass one without pleasant
word and smile. They cost so little
and they mean 50 much TO a weary
heart. All honor is due the soldiers ana
sailors-they are giving their lives that
our country may be free from oppreS-
sion. We should all be just as saving
OF foodstuff as we can, and while 1t IS
necessary that we must use less flour
and sugar, let's do it without murmur-
ing or complaining, and If it's neceS-
sary for US to eat cornbdead to win
this war, let's go to it. If the flour IS
needed across we ought to be glad for
them to have it. With best wishes for
all. ANNIE WESTBROOk.

Obey the Call, Come On
Dear Household; l would like to
have a chat with you this beautiful Sab
bath morning. / have SO much L would
like to say that l hardly know where
to begin.
My mind is on this terrible war across
the water. L think each and every one
of us ought to strive and help in ev-
cry way we can to help win. There is
so much to do at home, every one of
us can deny ourselves and help over
there. Most of us have dear ones over
there. My third brother is, suppose,
over there by now. My heart ached to
see him 60 but oh, how proud l was
of him! He volunteered last summer,
was just nineteen JneA. All my DrOln-
ers are registered except the youngest
one, and have five brothers in all.
/ feel sorry for the parents who have
sons fighting over there. While it is
sad to part with the dear ones, yet we
all are so proud of them. Let's each
and every one of us pray for our boys
over there. You see some people these
days that do not seem to realize that
some people that are so selfish that they
| do not care for a thing in this world
but themselves. 1 pity such people. L
can hardly stand to see anyone selfish.
| love to see everybody do good, and
| be kind to others. One kind of people
| is as mean as mean can be. That sort
| take the uniform OF heaven to serve the
devil in. They do mean and hateful
| things, and they go to church and pre-
| tend to be good Christians. They can
come right out of a church and do mean
| things before they get home, if it suits
them. My heart pities such a so-called
| Christian. They can do so much harm.
Envy, jealousy and selfishness lead
! such men and women. They will start
| from church and tell a story, or bear
! false witness on some unoffending neigh
| Dor before they get home.
These people often have a plenty of
| this worlds goods, but are too selfish
and stingy to help in any good cause, ex-
| cept where it is published.
The Red Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A. are
! two of the best workers of the war,
and yet there are some people that won t
help IN elther one unless they can elm b
| a little by doing so.
am kept awful busy; L have a little
| blue-eyed girl seven months old. She
| is the joy and happiness of our home.
John and l are foolish about her.
| hope all of you householders put up all
the fruit and vegetables you needed for
winter, for l think the home-cured is
so nice to have, especially in the trying
| times we are going through.
| must be quitting for this time. Come
all OF you writers, write a long letter
| as soon as you read this, and tell us
all about yourselves. With best wishes
to all of you, sincerely F.. 10
