Winning the War
Is the supreme concern of every true
citizen. We can all help by conserving
our cash resources and thus keep our-
selves in position to respond from time
to time to the calls of the government
for financial assistance.

printed about everything per-
taining to the war. how many
Americans realize that the whole
empire of Germany could be put
away inside of a single Ameri-
can state? Texas could contain
all of Germany and have room
enough left over to accommodate
New York and New Jersey.
One of the Review of Reviews
staff of editors of "2,000 Ques-
tions and Answers About the
War” dug that fact out in try-
ing to answer a question bv a
common-sense citizen who nsked
"Just how big is this armed old
Germany, anyway 7 Don’t tell me
in square miles, for the love of
M!ke! Square miles don't mean
anything In my young life.”
"Fifteen Germanics,” snys
the editor in the book, "could be
put away inside of our own Uni-
ted States.” And there would
be room for a few Americans to
walk around on the fringes at
that.—Fort Worth Record.

The Malaria Mosquito
A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it i9 infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
inosauito will transmit malarial parasites to the
blood of n person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before tin y
have time to incroase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.
