WHAT THRIFT STAMPS WILL DO

American soldier to take the field.
By this is meant to buy the clothes
and the arms he carries.
Every man woman and child who
buys Thrift stamps and War Savings
Stamps is helping equip these sol
diers for the field.
If you have bought 38 War Thrift
Stamps at $416 each you have pro-
vided for the complete equipment of
one soldier.
One Thrift Stamp will pay for a
waist belt or hat cord, two pairs
of shoes laces and four Identification
cards.
Two Thrift Stamps will pay for the
Trench tool with which the soldier
may dig himself in after the enemy's
lines, or one shelter tent pole and
five shelter tent pins.
Three Thrift Stamps will provide
some soldier with warm wooden
gloves.
If your investment totals Four
thrift stamps you have paid for one
bedsack and the government has
eleven cents left over, Or you will
have provided the soldier with his
canvas leggings.
Six Thrift Stamps will pay for the
soldiers summer undershirt or his
wooden stockings.
Seven Trift Stamps will buy his
service hat.
Twelve Thrift Stamps will pay for
shelter tent or steel helmet.
Perhaps you have a son or brother
in the army. Wouldn't you like to
feel that you had loaned Uncle Sam
enough money to equip him properly :?
Your economic in Thrift Stamps.
Start to save today. Big interest on
Thrift Stamps.

LONDON, April 9.-Premier Lloyd
George today delivered an important
speech j nthe House of Commons on
the military situation and the Gov
ernment's map and power proposals.
He said the allies had now entered
the most critical period of the war
and that the fate Of the Empire, of
Europe might depend on the tremend-
Gus battles now being waged in
France.
For the British and navy, he said.
almost 100000 men had been raised
already, but more men were needed.
Thence on men between eighteen
an dffty would be considered avail
able for fighting, and no one under
twenty-five years Of age would be re-
tanned in any industry.

An article which appeared in the
Journal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION of March % and headed
"The Ground Glass Obsession" is
fully endorsed by the Department of
Health. The article decries the fact
that ground glass rumors continue to
be heard and that for three years we
have been through series Of scares
that were unfounded.
"No sane German spy or even a
German diplomat would choose
ground glass to kill a community"
reads the article "A meal Of ground
glass is considered harmless by some
and it has beenreported by that it has
been used as remedy among the
peasants of Eastern Europe"
