There can be no doubt
as to the merit of Cardui,

the treatment bf many
troubles peculiar to

; “For every company of sol-
diers on the babtlerfleld or in
training there should be a war
savings society foere at home/’
says Louis Lipnfttz, State Direc-
tor of the National War Sav-
ings Committee. “Let’s make
every fighting man know and
feel that he has this country
behind him, backing him up to
the last ditch. Only fey becom-
ing a war savings club, mem-
ber and investing regularly and
intelligently in the little Gov-
ernment bonds will we be per-
forming in part our duty as
true, patriotic Americans.
. “Bv enrolling ourselves as
active members of wjw savings
societies we will be helning the
men in the fighting ditches of
Flanders, making it possible for
them to do their job thorough-
ly, quickly and with greater
safety to themselves. Every
household should ba a - thrift
center, every citizen a saver j
and a society member. It’s
time to quit talking and get
down to .business. The job of;
the stay-at-home is to increase !
the efficiency of the fighting
machine and aid the
merit in winning the war. It’s j
the least they can do.
“That Texans shall not be
classed as slackers it is our
personal duty to see that we
have joined a war savings club
and have gotten someone else
to enroll. The Ides of March i
must not find Blue Bonnet j
State residents classed as non-1
Americans.”
War savings societies may
have as few ae ten members'
and ns many as. desired. There r
are two officers fer each socie
