Cardinal Gibbons Urges Americans
To Back Salvation Army Cam
paign go

James Cardinal Gibbons, head of
the Roman Catholic Church in this
country, and one of the best loved
preachers and writer's in the United
States today, in letter sent to
former Governor Chas. S. Whitman
of New York City, National Chair
man for the coming dive, expressed
himself as entirely behind the work
of the Salvation Army and asked
the citizens of this country to rally
to their support to gain the thirteen
million dollar goal which the Saliva
tion Army has set out to do.
This unqualified endorsement COM
ing from the lips of a man of Car
dinal Gibbons type, carries dignity
and weight because Cardinal Glib
bons very seldom gives an interview
on any national subject outside of
the work of the Roman Catholic
Church. His letter in full follows:

commander of the Salvation Army

April 18 1918.
In the grave yard softly sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly,
In his lonely, silent grave.

Never shall his memory fade,
Loving thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
Sleep on dear father and take your
rest

He thought it best.

Answers Your Heating
Problem

In this day OF shortage and high prices of coal. it
is wise to consider the best way to heat your home
at the smallest cost of operating. This heater is
constructed so that it heats by circulation and
gives twice the heat with one-third less fuel.
Moore's anti-carbon slotted fire bowl burns all the
smoke that other stoves allow to escape. 1t is built
like a furnace, having a heavy cast iron interior
and covered over with an artistic casing which does
not come in contact with this dome and cannot
burn the finish off. This eliminates the dirty task
of having to polish your heater almost daily. There
are more Moore Alright Heaters in operation
than all makes combined. II you want results.

We are satisfied we can convince you this is the
heater to purchase. Terms Arranged.
