Quickly Subscribing Fourth Liberty

War and Triumphant
Victory.
When the German: began their tre
nendous drive Manli 21 only 300.0U0
American soldiers were in France. The
purpose of the enemy was to break
through, reach the English Channel
and thereby separate the English anc
French armies, so that the path tc
Faria would be clear. They knew that
the drive muat be rushed, that it might
be accomplished before the American
army could be transported to Europe
The Germans failed to reckon with
the energy of tile United States. Tht
drive that threatened to separate tht '
two allies forced a recognition of ihi
need of getting a large force to Europt
at once. It inspired the almost super
human effort that resulted in Liu .
transportation of i,500.000 fighting
Americans to European battlefields.
Additional drives launched by tin t
Germans in the succeeding months ,
emphasized the reasons for spefed.
Meantime preparation of United '
States troops were rushed The fight
ing men were transported at a rate oi
250.000 to 300,000 a month, in spite of
the submarine menace.
The inrush of American troops gave
the Allied forces a new determination
to hold. But while ail this was going 1
on the equally vigilant and desperate
enemy realized that no time could be
lost for a decisive blow before the new
and fresh American troops were
ready. Gradually the entry of United
Slates troops justified the faith of
their French and English allies. As
the transports, loaded with vigorous
soldiers who, six months prior, had
been business men, clerks and me
chanics, reached European shores they
were placed in the lines.
At CanUgny, at Vaux, at BaJleau
Wood, around Tool, in the Vosges, at
Chateau Thierry, the American sol
diers proved their mettle.
With the entrance of those com para
tlvely few troops it became apparent
that the probability of success for the
!liun race was lessened as the number
of American soldiers increased. This
was amply shown as the months
passed, and the troops increased from
300.000 to more than 1.000,000. It was
early in JuTy that the Huns, appreciat
ing that American troops were arriv
ing *n great numbers, but still believ
ing the hour had not passed when they
could successfully strike, launched
their last drive toward Baris. For sev ;
eral days they drove forward, gaining
ground each day, until the American
forces rushed in to stem the tide and
turned the forward movement into ; ,
rout. While the American troops anu
influence were giving the Germans a 1
reverse, Gen. Foch launched tie v-oun
ter attack between Soisson.s and Una
teau Thierry, resulting in a retreat u !
the Hun forces which amounted ai
most to a rout, and with it Joyfullj
startled the world.
ronowjng me recovering or a larg
purt of the territory gained by th.
Germans, a successful counter aitatk j
farther north along the line wa> '
launched by the British.
To the Allied hearts the best part ol
it is that the movement was carried on i
by the Allied forces with smaller num
hers than the enemy forces were abl,
to command. Six months ago it would 1
have been impossible for the same
number of Allied forces to have sue '
cessfully carried out such a movement
The improved morale resulted from
the appearance of American troops in
numbers.
As the United States forces arrived
and demonstrated their fighting prow
ees the Allied generals and masses
realized the tide was turning and that
success was not far away.
It was not alone the American
forces, but the American dollars as
well, that was accomplishing this re
newal of confidence.
The first, second and third Liberty
Loan issues have p vided the sinews
<;f war no less than the brave men who
have been sent to the front. The men
must be furnished ships for transpor
tation, for food, supplies and muni
tions.
VS ithout the dollars subscribed by
the American people through the first
three Liberty Loans the success of
American arms to date would have
been impossible.
The continued increase in transpor
tation of American troops has demon
strated that the larger the forces to
defeat the Germans the sooner the
conflict will be over.
Gen. March, Chief of Staff of the
United States Army, has said that the
fighting forces of the United States
must be increased to 4,000,000 men. To
get that number of men ready, so as to
shorten the war, will ’-squire billions
of dollars. The American people will
subscribe the Fourth Liberty Loan se
cure In the knowledge that It means a
speedy victory for American arms.
(Explanation 01 c.nart;
Since 1913 farmers have
been receiving for their wheat
i gradually increasing propor
tion of the price paid by the
consumer for bread. The
imount received by the wheat
grower for his contribution to
he average pound has increas
'd from less than 1 1-2 cents
per loaf in 1913 to more than
l-2cents early this year. The
proportion to the whole price is
shown by the relative length
pf the black columns of the
*hart.
The middle portion of each
nlumn shows what the miller
received for his milling costs -
ind profit. This has been a!
somewhat variable factor but i
it is iio.n u tie minimum vsix
per cent.) In this six per cent
however, is included the cost of
the containers (bags, sacks,
etc.) Shown as dotted area
which has increased very near
ly in proportion to the price of
bread itself. Hags now cost
about 50 per cent more than in
1913 and 1914.
The shaded portion of the
column represents the expense
of distributing the flour, mak
ing it into bread and getting
the loaf to the consumer.
The chart shows that the
farmer is now receiving a much
larger share of the final price
for his product than in the past
and that a considerable amount
of “spread” has been taken out
of other exoenses .

THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD
DEPENDS ON THE ARMY OF
5,000,000 THAT UNCLE SAM
IS RAISING.
TO TAKE FLOWER OF AMERICA
Billions of Money Required to Prop
erly Equip and Care for the
Forces That Are Fighting
Your Battles.
Uncle Sam Is rapidly preparing for
an Increase of his fighting forces to
an aggregate strength of 5,000,000
men. This was the figure agreed
upon in the Parts conference of sev
eral months ago as necessary to a
speedy allied control of the situation
and eventual victory for aYlied arms.
America alone could produce the
men.
France already has put practically
every available man in the ranks.
England has drawn upon her man
power to a point that is beginning to
make itself felt in the production of
■war munitions. Belgium has all of
her little remnant of population lined
up along the front almost to a man.
And Italy has all she can do to care
for herself.
This five million will represent the
flower of America's fighting material.
Upon It will depend to no small
degree the ultimate issue of the v.ar.
To it all Europe will be looking in
eager expectation from the moment
it takes the field aggressively. It is <
expected to be the straw that will
break the Prussian camel's back.
We must do our full duty by that
five million in the next loan.
And in doing this we must not over
look this fact. In its ranks will be
thousands ami thousands of boys who
are now at home Some of these will
he from our own firesides. They will
be our boys in literal truth. No long
er will that army be an Impersonal
unit. It will be made up largely of
our own flesh and hood.
Every time you buy a bond you will
be lending to your own. For few
households will escape the combing
process of the next draft.
Don't forget this. The Fourth .Lib
erty Doan campaign opens Sept. 28.
Your country and your sons need
your help.
If you have a son eligible for serv
ice, look him over before you de
cide upon the amount of your pur
chase
You’d give a good deal more than
will be Raked of you to have him
safely back.
And the better prepared that army
Is the sooner it will finish its work;
the less danger he will be subjected
to; the quicker he will return.
Do your part by that five million—
and your boy.

100 Years Old
“The kidneys play a moat important
part in causing premature old age and
death—the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay”—so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidnevs and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid—
drink plenty of water—sweat some daily
and take Anurie before meals.
This Anurie is put up in tablet |
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, “rusty” joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anurie quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y .
Prevent premature old age by simply
sipping a cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking a little Anurie
before meals and live to be a hundred.
