moralizing effect it has on wife
to read stories about married
service men who get in the news
because of love affair that ends
IN a shooting-or in quadruplets.
She says it makes wife wonder
what her own husband is up to-.
Which is also probably true Of
some wives.
And then she says that when a
husband writes home about how
h. much fur he had or a party his
!. wife begins to think she is silly
to sit a! home lis ening to the ra-
do alone when she could be out
on a party herself. Which is also
probably true.
But all of that is just confusing
clear cut issue with lot of
facts which really have nothing to
do with the real question.
And the real question fo7 every
serviceman's wife is this: Which
is more important to me, holding
my marriage together or having
good time and getting the mas
culine admiration I miss?"
If the marriage is more inror-
tant, then the only thing for wife
to do is to play it safe by not run
ming around with o'her men. It's
really as simple as that. The only
reason some wives confuse the
issue is to give themselves an ex-
cuse for not waiting the war out

Message to the
Christmas


AS you know the shortage of manpower has
hit the retail merchant just as it has hit all lines
of business, big and small. So the cry goes out
HELP! HELP! HELP! Well, help who?, Help
yourself as well as the retail merchant. How?
BY going today and do just as much Of your
Christmas shopping as You can afford to do. Yes,
TO-DAY and every day from now on. If you
wait until those last four days, somebody is 60
ing to be left holding the bag. So. my Christmas
Shopper, it is a duty you owe to yourselfe and
others, to help avoid Christmas shopping infla-
ton.
Remember if you please, it takes sixteen
hands to furnish the service to sell you one little
small pocket handkerchief.
Listen, friend Christmas Shopper. You
have loved ones on the firing lines and you want
them to return home safe and sound, don't you?
Yes, we know you do and that is what we are try
ing all the time to tell you. It takes $4,000 pairs
of hands to keep one soldier supplied with food
and the necessary equipment to protect himself
with and do your fighting. So it is your duty to
cooperate with the retail merchant to the extent
wherein every man and woman who is now help
ing to supply your soldier boy or girl, to stay on
the war production line. So please adhere to the
retail merchant request and start now, today,
to do your Xmas shopping. Help keep what help
they have busy every hour in the day. Avoid the
rush hours. Shop between 10 a. m. and 4 p. M.

can be considered as a vote for better
health during the next year. Why ?
Because the money for Christmas
Seals will go directly toward cradle
ating tuberculosis. Each seal will
affect each Seal Sale Voters" life,
just as each political ballot affects
their lives.
In a United Press story from New
York, we learn hat Metropolitan
Life Insurance statisticians say that
reports on the trend of tuberculosis
in Europe, though fragmentary, point
to all appalling increase in tubercul-
osis.
A synopsis shows: In Belgium, in
Paris, Holland, Italy, and Germany
itself, there has been a marked in
crease in tuberculosis.
In those lands, there is no such
thing as a political ballot; nor is
there a health ballot like the Christ
mas Seal.
But the United States-the land of
the free the land of the right to vote
both in POLITICS and in health-has
been more fortunate. Though tuber-
culosis still kills more than $4,000 A
mericans a year, we are able to fight
the disease and are gaining ground "a
gainst tuberculosis.
The burden of future health, the
responsibility of cutting that sc, 1000
death rate figure lies squarely on the
shoulders of each citizen. 1t is up
to us to cast our ballots for health by
buying Christmas Seals, sole support
of the Nebraka tuberculosis Asocia-
ton in its continuous battle against
tuberculosis.
When we buy Seals, we cast a bal
lot for health. We are investing our
trust in the Nebraska Association,
whish. like Dur politisal rhode, deals
Constantly with a problem which af-
fects our daily lives. 1t deals with
the problem of eradicating tubercul-
osis.
So we must cast our health ballot.
NOW! .... ..
We mist buy Christmas Seals. ...
