Is your brother or son under twen
ty? Have you seen him toss in fever
or gasp in pneumonia?
Let us hope and pray that they
will nnt. hp railed?hut do not let us
blind ourselves to the possibility that
they MaY be called. Remember, twen
ty million men are fighting today, and
twenty million men have been killed,
shell-torn, mangled, blinded, wound
ed and invalided before this All Eu
rope is aflame, and we are just going
in. WAKE UP to it. We are at WAR
and you may pay with bitter years of

to it today.
Let's Be SAFE
Let us so conduct the arming and
equipping of our first million men,
the financing and the feeding of our
Allies, that no more men need be
sent?that YOUR man need not go.
It has always been woman's part
to bring comfort and alleviate suiter
ing. Suffering, impaired health and
the most extreme discomforts are
inseparable from war. It has always
been the woman's part?it has always
been the blessed duty of womanhood
?to alleviate this. It is of most vital
importance tnar our men, wnerner
actively at the front or in training
^ckmps in this country, be equipped
to the highest degree of efficiency.
Wq want our boys to have steel trench
helmets to protect them against shell
that burst overhead. They have none
todav. They, must have gas masks?
/ v O
they must be protected against liquid
fire which sears flesh from the bones
in an instant. The difference of cost
between two grades of socks?a
slightly superior! quality of under
clothing may ward off pneumouia,
may repel consumption, may keep
some boy'r life from being shattered.
How Would YOU Feel?
You can help save the lives of many
boys. You can preserve them from
extreme discomfort, from serious
danger, and, as you will do in this
emergency, just so the mothers, sis
ters, sweethearts of the whole nation
will do. As you want them to feel.
and act, and do, to safeguard the
lives of all the young men cf the na
tion, so you must feel, and act, and

Your home is certain to be touched
by the war in which we are engaged.
It may seem remote and impersonal to
you now, but you must not permit this
;
imnression to so oersist as to brincr von
bitter, life-long regrets which will cloud
the rest of your days.

inclusive. But we may find it necss
sary to put three million men or more
in the field. Don't you know that in
our Civil War, men of sixty and boys
\
of sixteen fought shoulder to shoulder
before the war was done? Don't you
know that Sixty and Sixteen are fight
ing shoulder to shoulder today, some
where in France?

Be very certain of one thing, this

war will toucn your nome in some way,
either through son, father, brother or
someone very dear to you, before the
war is done.
Is your husband past fifty? How
long could he stand sleeping in the

If your husband, youv father, your
brother, son or sweatheart were at
the front and wounded, or ill, or suf
fering in any way, you would give
all you possess, every penny, your
every treasure, to help him?and in
stantly?wouldn't you? Think then,
how the women-folks of the millions
who will go must feel today Do your
part NOW for them, that all the nation
may repay you in kind, if your very
clearest is called to face WAR some
where in France, before we have won
a final victory.
