The war is costing the United States $1,000,000 an hour.
To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's
cash resources, there must be a corresponding stream of dollars
flowing into the national treasury.
Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offer the people an op
portunity to deposit their daily, weekly or monthly savings with
the government.
In return the government will repay the principal with 4 per
cent interest, compounded quarterly. As an example of how the
investor's money will grow, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 25
cents each, or 54.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the
depositor to $5.00 on January 1, 1923.
As an investment, safety considered, there is nothing better
on the market today. All the resources of the richest government
on earth are behind the stamps.

Why thousauds of people have
more faith in Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine than they
have in, other stomach remedies. Be
cause they know that Triner's Amer
ican Elixir is entitled to public re
spect. It helps surely and quickly
Mr. George I'apu, living in Salem,
Ohio, suffered from stomach troubles,
for three years. Now in his letter of
January 27, 1918, he writes: "I am
in best health, but I am indebted,
only to Triner's American fcllxir for
that." In a letter, dated February
14, Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Kuhnimhof
writes: "Thank God, now I am well,
one botle of Triner's American Elixir
of Bitter Wine helped me." You can
get it at all drugstores. Price $1.10.
This extreme winter caused many to
look for remedies for chilblains. In
such cases as well as for sprains,
rheumatism, neuralgia, etc. Triner's
Liniment is the best remed'. Price

In an article on "Women and Na
tional Defense" in the January Book
man, Miss Louise Maunsell Field says
pertinently: "Primarily, the Wom
an's Committee is an advisory com
mittee to the Council of National De
fense, and' all its plans are submitted
to that body before they are put
into execution. But it has its own
rpeeial objects: To eliminate any
waste of woman's energy; to pre
vent unnecessary over-lapping of
work; to utilize and centralize so
far as may be, every particle cf the
already existent and available ma
chinery; to standardize women's war
work; finding out the best way tc
do each job, whether it be knitting
or canning, clothing cr feeding or
what not, that no time cr strength
may be wasted on mistaken cr val
ueless labor, at the same time leav
ing every organization free to con
tinue its activities in its own chosen
field, every community at liberty to
work out its own especial problems
in the manner best adapted to its
abilities and its needs. In cohrt.
to provide a clearing-house for wom
en's war work. o direct channel of
communication between the loyal
women of the United States and th"
government at Washington, so that
when the demand comes, whether it
be for a "Food Ccncervatirn cam
paign or a ."Liberty Loan drive" or
any other of a dozen activities, word
may be sent without lcs cf time
from the government to the Wom
an's Committee, from the Woman'?
Committee to the State Divisions,
from the State Pivisirns to the local
units, and the great army of women j gon
thus enabled to do its part swiftly
and efficiently, these are some of the
objects of the Woman's "Committee.
It is something new in the vcrld,
this intentional, immediate mobiliza
tion of woman cs women, for v.'r ser
vice, this net work of wiies spread
out that the message flashed from
Washington can be transmitted in
the shortest possible time to every
women willing to receive it, v. hcever,
wherever and whatever. she may be.
Woman's "intuition" has b?en
preached upon and insisted upon un
til women could scarcely b? b'.r.mei
if they believed themselves com
petent to do anything and everything
at a moment's notice. But. "This
is not a war for amateur:;; Train!"
advises the committee, insisting thr.t
the useful woman is the w-io knows
how to do som? one thing well.
Women, Dr. Shaw declares, are pat
riotic instinctively the . Pttrstlon is
only one of teaching thorn how best
to use that patriotic instinct. It is
good to know that there exi-ts a
great multitude of women ready to
do what they can fur their country
in this her hour of need; it is better
to know what each of them actually
can do.
A problem perplexing enough in
peace times, doubly perplexing now
we are at war, is that of our im
mense alien population. The Ne
braska Division of the Woman's
Committee has started a Department
of Naturalization, while in other
states the Woman's Ccinmitice i?
working on various plans of Ameri
canization. "Every foreigner in the
United States should speak English"
has been suggested as the f logau for
this department.
. The formation of the Woman's
Committee was s. direct and official
recognition of the importance cf
Women's work in many fields, some
of which might, to.a careless observ
er, seem remote from war service, hut
all of vhich had in truth a close con
nection with the one grept object
that is nearest to all our hearts a
victorious and a lasting peace."
Resolutions to concentrate on the
problems of food production and con
servation duringthe spring months
g were passed at the February meeting
of the Executive Board of the Wom-
e Jan's Committee of the Nebraska
State Council of Defense. The ser
ious problems cf the distribution of
food products will be investigated
thoroughly, and all possible help se
cured for the producers.
Mrs. F. M. Deweese, of Dawson,
recently appointed chairman of the
Food Production committee, was dele
gated to confer with Nebraska's
fod administrator, Mr. Wattles, con
cerning the possible government so
lutions of the problems cf labor, mar
ket and transportation. She will
also seek the viewpoints of the wom
en producers themselves as to their
needs.
"This is the biggest problem be
fore the country today," said Miss
Hrbkova, chairman of the Woman's
Committee. "We are facing much
the situ-ticm which Russia is com
batting. Rusria has overproduced,
yet through lack of distribution
facilities, iconic- in some parts of
