From the battle fields in France there comes an unspoken call that should find an answer in every Amer ican's heart. The recent great events in Europe, the successes of American arms on the fields of France should spur every American to greater ef fort. Our people at home should not rest on the laurels of our soldiers in France. Every death on the field of honor in the line oi duty and for our country's cause should be a call to us for every sacrifice and every exertion to aid the cause for which our soldiers are fighting, for which cur soldiers have died. Increase production, decrease con sumption, save, and lend to the Gov ernment. Every cent lent to the United States is used to support, strengthen, and aid our soldiers in France- DR. WILLIAM W.
