Farmers Who Battle Soil to Win Food Are Real Patriots

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 21. "There is no greater patriot than the fanner who battles with stubborn soil to win food," declared H. E. Barnard, Indiana food director, in a statement issued here today. "Boys from the farm are filling our armies," continued Mr. Barnard. "They have left the plow in the furrow and gone to the front to bear the brunt of trench battles. But the plow will not lie idle. Old men, and young boys who in peace times would be resting before the fire or still in school, are going the work in the fields and making the ammunition which will win the war, the food which Is the first need of the soldier. Trained armies or the brute force of over-powering numbers will fail unfed. "And so we must npt forget, while we join in the hurrahs with which we send our boys to war, that those who stay behind have their bit to do and, that their service is just as patriotic, just as valuable, just as necessary as that of their sons and brother who wear khaki. "The men who battle with stubborn soil and force it to grow wheat instead of woods are earning our gratitude. They may never wear medals for bravery, or the service stripes which will decorate soldiers' uniforms

If Cuticura did no more than soothe and heal eczemas, rashes, itchings and burnings, bringing speedy comfort to tortured, disfigured men, women and children it would be entitled to the highest praise. But it does more. By using the Soap exclusively for toilet purposes, allowing no other soap to touch your skin, with touches of Cuticura Ointment now and then to soothe and heal the first sign of skin troubles, you will in many cases prevent these distressing experiences. It is always a pleasure, not an effort, to use them, they are so pure and delicate. For Trial Free by Return Mail address post-card : "Cuticura, Dept. R, Boston." Sold throughout the world.
