7 with the United States Government. You do it by buying War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. A War Savings Stamp costs $4.12 if bought during December, 1917, or January, 1918. After that it will cost one cent more each month during 1918; February, $4. 13; March, $4. 14; and soon. The one cent advance each month is to ällow for the interest the stamp earns.

These stamps as bought are pasted in a

ar Savings Certificate, which is a folder

with 20 spaces for the stamps. When these 20 spaces are filled put the Certificate away; it is worth $100, payable January 1, 1923. Then start another. U. S. Thrift Stamps are for investors who want to save but find the War Savings Stamp more than they can spare at one time. The U. S. Thrift Stamp costs 25 cents; you get a Thrift Card from the jpostof free, or bank, or other authorized agency; no charge for the card. There are 16 spaces on this card; a place for each 25-cent U.S. Thrift Stamp you buy. Sixteen of them make $4.00. When the card is full take it to the postoffice, or

bank, or other agency and get a War Savings Stamp; you'll pay the difference, 12 cents in December and January and one cent more each month during 1918. Paste the War Savings Stamp on the Certificate Card you get with it, and start a new 25-cent Thrift Card. The U. S. Thrift Stamps do not bear interest; the War Savings Stamps do 4 per cent, compounded every three months. The interest is in the convenient form of a monthly increase in the face value of the stamp. The stamps are redeemable at their full value, $5, on January 1, 1923. If vou need to draw out the monev vou have saved don't do it if you don't have to go to the postoffice and they will tell you what to do, and what the exact value of your investment is on that date, and give you the money.
