how can people who blow their baZooS

they do, can sit and enjoy such an
entertainment day after day. Well
1t seems to be quite the proper thing
for many church members these days
regardless of denomination. No
wonder we have world war No
wonder people spend SO much time
knocking on every other brand OF re-
ligiOn, but their own. Yes religion,
for they are chuck full of religion,
some variety or other, and SO they
go on their way, trying to make the
world think they are christians, |
don't see why they don't give us
bull tight and oe done with it: 1t
would be just as much christian as
what we have had. BY the way, just
about one in every four you talk to,
express themselves that it is time for
the better class of citizenship to take
the step, to see that human society
is active enough in the future to put
stop to all these ropng contests
They are anything but elevating and
uplifting. Now that it is past, sit
down and give it a real serious thought
and ask yourself do l enjoy such

SOCIETY
Sacrifice. Substitute and Save"

\ slogan for the woman who wants
to help make victory possible for
America and the Allies is "Sacrifice.
Substitute and Save" To sacrifice has
always been a part Of woman's war
service. As never before in history,
it is demanded OF women in this warti
Every non-essential should be prompt
ly and gladly sacrificed. To make
intelligent sacrifice. habits of years
must he overcome. Sacrifice requires
great devotion and will power. Sub
stitute" has become a new word to
women since Mr.. Hoover has made it
so cleal that conservation Of certain
foodstutfs is absolutely necessary to
win this war. Intelligent substitu
tion means to release thing the Amer
lean armies and those Of our Allies
need. and yet to provide good food
and clothing for those who stay al
home. This requires brain power. To
save the product Of our sacrifice and
substitution is. after all. the highest
quality Of service at this time. 1t
requires will power and brain power.
The national war committe wants to
teach you the lesson of this slogan in
practical terms Of action. DO it now.
Invest your savings in Thrift Stamps.
