Do not get the idea that our boys are "going over the top" to die. Ninety -three in each hundred will re- turn. Do not let the "Well, if I do not see you again, good luck and God bless you" farewell send man off with a stone where his heart should be. Keep this idea out of your let ters and their thoughts. To be vic .torious they must be hopeful.
 Keep the spirit of the slogan, Prepare to Live" before them. Write often. Get them thinking about and preparing for the job they want when they return. Do your part to keep the home ties from breaking Urge them to come home clean and ready for the opportunities that will be waiting.
 Thrift promotion is teaching them to be independent financially, fit physically, trained mentally and close to God spiritually. Put these thoughts into your letters. Let them know your savings are increasing their chances of returning and mak- irsg their present conditions easier Inform yourself about War Risk h. surance and the othor financial mat ters of those close to you in Uncle Sam's Service.-Trench and Camp. :.
