GOOD ADVICE

ing harmful, unfOunded gossip re-
garding the war. He has had little
cards printed up and is diStriput-
ing them in big patches Through
his friends Each card carries these
words of President ROoScyelt Most
earnestly I urge my countrymen
to relCct all rumOrS. These ugly
little hints of complete disaster fly
thick and fast in wartime. They
have to be examined and appralS-
cd. Below this counsel is note
of instruction: Hand this card

has heard
