HOW MEN AT HOME CAN SAVE.

The following ways in which'noncombatants may be of service to their county have been adopted by Dr. Robert J. Aley, formerly head of the mathematics department of Indiana University, later State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and now president of the University of Maine. 1. I will keep myself so well informed on the causes and progess of the world war that I may be a source of information and influence to others. 2. I appreciate so thoroughly the danger of internal enemies that I will report to the proper authorities the names and location of every native or alien citizen whose conduct of utterances indicate enmity to our country or lack of sympathy with our allies.

3. I will do all in my power to encourage increased production of food materials, both animal and vegetable. 4. I will cheerfully change my habits of eating, so as to help conserve wheat, meat, animal fats, dairy products and sugar. 5. I will assist in every possible way to make the third and all succeeding Liberty loans a success. 6. I will practice economy and deny myself luxuries so that I may contribute large sums to the various necessary war philanthropies. • „ 7. I will help to stablize public opinion by showing the reasonableness and necessity of the government’s demands and the baselessness of the unfounded rumors relating to the war. 8. I will be a friend and com ; sorter to the families of soldiers and minister to their n'eeds in every way possible. 9. I will try to meet all the varied events of the war with patience, calmness and optimism.
