Show a OUR BOYS "OVER THERE." In a very little while now there will be a million American boys J on the firing line in France and Flanders. Already there are some mil- lions of British and French boys ? on that line boys who have J been there, some of them, for ? four years, offering their lives 2 in defense of your home quite as 2 much as of their own, warding 2 off the atrocities of the Boche 2 brutes from your loved ones, , though they have not been quite 2 able to ward them off from their a own mothers and sisters. All of those boys, ours and - ( others, will remain there, and the cry "They shall not pass !" will be made good so long as the 2 flow of American meats across a 2 the ocean is ample and uninter- rupted. a 2 The requirement of us at home 2 is a very simple requirement. 2 It does not limit us in any way 2 to a meatless diet. It leaves us 2 large choice of very excellent 2 meats. 2 But it does demand that we 2 eat less of beef, no canned beef, 2 and not too much of any meat 2 that is at all suitable for over- a seas. a Of course, none of us would 2 deliberately fail to do that little . bit for the men who are sacri- 2 ficing for us their treasure of " youth and hope and love. No 2 American worthy the name ex- 2 alts his belly above the sacred things of home and country. 2 Only some of us might be thoughtless. 2 Therefore take thought. a a |
