Women Plead Prohibition
as Food Conservation Step
f A plea for national prohibition
as a food conservation measure dur
ing the war is made by the State
Federation of Pennsylvania Women
in a message to President Wilson. It
is signed by Mrs. Ronald P. Gleason,
of Scranton. The message follows:
"The board of directors of the
State Federation of Pennsylvania
Women asks you to use all the power
of /our office to bring about national
prohibition in the present crisis. The
release of the grain now used in
liquor would greatly increase the
food supply of the nation, and the
abolition of the liquor traffic would
be a fundamental step in the con
servation of the physical strength
and moral force of our people.
"Representating the women of the
state we urge your action on this
most important subject."

'Tis a Patriotic Duty
to Subscribe
United States
Government
BONDS
Our Government is about to issue bonds
bearing interest at the rate of 3 for the
purpose of prosecuting the war in which
we are now engaged.
It is a duty of citizenship for everyone to
buy one or more of these bonds —and as
the government will probably issue them
in denominations as low as $25- —most all
of us can participate if we so desire.
We want to see the mass of the people of
Harrisburg come forward in the matter of
this loan. The big investors will do their
part— -but 'twould be a mighty fine thing
for Harrisburg to set the pace for the bal
ance of the country in subscriptions to the
$25, SSO or SIOO bonds, which are primarily
for those of limited means- — the men and
Women who are on salary or day wage.
Government bonds in denominations as
low as $25, SSO or SIOO are a liquid invest
ment- —by that we mean you can realize
on them at any time.
So put your savings in them. If you need
the money quickly this store will take
them off your hands at par and accrued
interest- —or they can be used here the
same as cash at full face value and inter
est —when making purchases.
Subscriptions to this Government Loan
can be made through your own bank or
we'll attend to it for you—if you so de
sire—without charge.
