THE FLAG AND THE TARIFF
A writer on the Philadelphia Public Ledger learned
froiu the owners of a worsted mill in Jamestown that ti.e
American flag raised over the mill was
Made from American sheep.
Carded by an Italian.
Spun by a Swede.
Warped by a German.
Dressed by an Englishman.
Drawn in by a Scotchman.
Woven by a Belgian.
Supervised by a Frenchman.
Inspected by an American.
Scoured by an Albanian.
Examined by an Irishman.
Pressed by a Pole.
What attracts those various races to our shores? The
prospect of higher wages than they receive at home. \\ hat
made those higher wages and better standard of living
possible? The policy of protection of home industries.
Such a policy resulted in these men working shoulder to
shoulder for the betterment of themselves and the devel
opment of this nation.

YOU CAN FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY IN
YOUR KITCHEN
It is impossible to put tin* much emphasis upon the
necessity for food saving by everyone during the war.
Food is going to play as important a part, if not a
more important part in the war than guns and ammuni
tion.
The saving of food is very largely an individual prob
lem. . 4L&
In the final analysis it is up to the women of the na
tion. - •* wrt&BS&A*
Every woman should do her part in the government’s
campaign to increase and conserve the nation’s food sup
plies. ■ •'
The food necessities of all the nations with which we
are allied in the war against Germany, are very great.
The people of America must save every pound of food
that self-imposed rigid economy makes possible to the
end that there be the greatest possible surplus for ship
ment to our hard pressed allies.
Do not make the mistake of confusing the food prob
lem with the financial problem.
You have no more moral right to waste food simply
because you can afford to do so than has your small in
come neighbor.
It is not a question of saving food for the money s
sake. It must be saved so that there will be enough to go
around. -r *
Every pound of food that finds its way to the gar
bage can means that much loss of fighting strength.
Volunteer today, for the duration of the war, in the
great American army of food savers.
Begin now, today, to demonstrate thrift in your home.
Make saving, rather than wasting, your social stand
a rd. <**»-»*
You can fight for your country in your kitchen just
as effectively as your husbands, brothers, sons and sweet
hearts are fighting for it on the field of battle.

DO YOU KNOW THAT
Peace hath her health problems no less than war?
Constant vigilance is the price of freedom from flies?
The physical vigor of its citizens is the nation’s great
est asset? _
Idleness is the thief of health?
Infected towels spread eye diseases?
Half the blindness in the world could have been pre
vented by prompt and proper care?
