THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September %
and close October 10. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the
Teutonic powers but by our enemies.
1t will be regarded by them as a
measure of the American peoples
support of the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support Of the war, of
the people at home backing up the
Army in the field. AS the loan sue
ceeds our enemies will sorrow; as it
falls short they will rejoice. Every
dollar subscribed will help and en-
courage the American soldiers and
hurt and depress the enemies Of
America.
The loan will be a test of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money
Shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?

An Appeal for the Suffering Jews
Of Europe.

Among the many appeals which
have come to America for relief of
war sufferers is one on behalf of the
Jews of Europe For centuries the
people of Israel have endured the
most terrible prosecutions and no
class is suffering more as a result
of the great war. Reduced to the
most abject poverty, and the victims
of the most unreasonable religious
prejudice, death by starvation stares
them in the face. Many old crippled
and penniless Jews go about looking
in the garbage boxes for piece of
stale bread.
Notwithstanding their many faults
and the fact that they have produced
Trotzskeys, the world owes to the
Jews debt of gratitude which it
can never repay. From them we
have derived many of our best laws,
our religion, and our love of liberty.
Should there not then be a hearty
response on the part of all to this
appeal on their behalf
The Jews have been brought up
morally and religiouslJ and have en-
deavored to serve God after the APP
proved method of their fathers.
Those old Jews on whose behalf this
appeal is made have lived all their
lives in the hope of building a home
in that heavenly country where
there is no jealousies, no prejudices
and no wars. AS the children of
one great Father cannot we help
them in their distress?
Having been appointed to solicit
aid in this community the under
signed will be glad to receive any
contributions from those who de
sire to assist in this work The APP
peal is made on dehalf of the good
Jews of Europe who are suffering
untold miseries and who look to us
for assistance.
He that hath pity upon the poor
lendeth unto the Lord; and that
which he hath given will He pay
him again"

sTOpS CRACKS IN CONCRETE
Application of Floor Dressing Paint
Will Keep Surface
Unscarred.

One Of the chief causes of crack
ing in concrete surfaces is the pres
ence of moisture in the surrounding
atmosphere, says a large manufac-
turer. In the warm months this
moisture has no detrimental effect,
but in winter it collects in the tiny
pores of the concrete and freezes.
With its concurrent expansion this
exerts pressure on the surrounding
concrete and causes tiny cracks to
appear. These cracks in turn fill
with moisture and the chipping ac-
ton continues until spring comes
with its higher temperature. This
chipping and cracking of the sur
face of the concrete detracts both
from the appearance and strength of
the concrete.
A sure way to prevent this de-
structive action is to coat the con-
crete surface with a floor dressing
paint. This preserves the texture
and individuality of the concrete and
prevents moisture penetrating the
surface. If new concrete floors are
covered with two coats of this paint
and recoated at intervals of about
six months, the concrete surface
will remain unscarred and without
cracks.

RED CROSS BUILDING FORTY
NURSES HOUSES AT CAMPS.

The American Red Cross is planning
forty Nurses Recreation Houses, to
be built, at the request and with the
approval of the Surgeon General at
the environments and base hospitals In
connection with nurses barracks. All
of these buildings will be in use within
the next two months, Judging by the
speed with which Red Cross work has
been completed in the past. Already
In many places these club houses, with
their white walls and red roofs, are go
Ing up under the eyes of the nurses
themselves.
The general purpose is to provide
every comfort for the nurses serving
in the cantOnment and base hospitals.
The main room, 80 by rs feet, will
have great open fireplace along one
side. Although the room ordinarily
will be used as a living room, 1t will
also be adapted for an assembly hall
and can be used for dances and recep-
lions.
Overlooking this room is a small bal
cony, from which motion pictures can
be thrown on the wall opposite. Open
ing off this same room will be a libra
ry, a sewingrOOm, equipped with ma
chimes and all convenlenCes a small
laundry and a fully equipped kitchen.
The furnishings thr lughOut have been
planned to the last detail.
A plano and vlctrola, folding chairs
for assembly purposes, the gold-browr
walls and dainty lounges, even the
lighting fixtures, with their design sug-
costing the Red Cross, have been Sc
lected and combined to express sens'
of home and to supply tie needs and
add to the comfort of "artonmemt life
The houses will connect with The
nurses quarters.

IN LIFE'S SlLENCES.

Character comes by doing what
ought to be done and resisting what
ought not to be done, when no out
slider is looking. 1t i. quit true,
and happily true, thai life is not
lacking in the inspirations thai com,
from the sense of being observed, or
in the restraints imposed by tn real
lied concern of watchful well-wish-
ers. 1t is a blessed aid over hard
places that in the nick of need some
one is looking on to say an encour-
aging word. 1t is a blessed cheer
through dark places that a warning
voice reminds of lurking danger.
But for such timely voices many of
us would have yielded to temptation,
to our hurt and loss. Nevertheless,
character gets fixed in the silences of
life, when no man is near, when no
voices either to warn or to cheer are
heard save only the voice within.
