Citrus fruit is one of the outstand-

needed in the body for protection a-

stimulate appetite. With this in

pantry shelves as will be possible

• The amphibian tractor—a startling product
of American industrial ingenuity — delivers
military power where it will do the most good.
The electric network — another example of
industrial resourcefulness — connects hundreds
of operating electric companies and delivers
electric potcer at points of need.
Built up by the business men who manage
Americas electric companies and produce %
of America's power, this nation wide web of
electric linos has proved Its vital value in the
war emergency—by providing power for tank
and plane plants, shipyards and arsenals almost
anywhere overnight.
The careful, planned production of electric
power will continue—we pledge it- until the
war is won—until America’s tractors turn from
dealing death to planting peaceful fields.
