For Our Soldiers in France WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY is offered by Jupce’s Trench Christmas Fund to convey to American soldiers at the front in France the spirit and realization of a blessed gift season. Experts have decided upon the articles to be sent to each soldier. The kit to be packed by us will cost 50 cents, but, thanks to the manufac- turers who will furnish the articles at cost, each kit will represent twice that value. The American Defense Soci- ety, composed of prominent persons, has indorsed the plan, will handle all shipments, and has secured the co-operation of the War Department, which will accept the boxes and deliver them to the soldiers in France. Thus any one who desires to give one dollar’s worth of Christmas cheer to a soldier will be able to do so through Jvupce’s Trench Christmas Fund by a subscription of 50 cents. And for a dollar subscription two boxes, each containing a dol- lar’s worth of desired articles, will go forward to two soldiers. Subscriptions in increased amounts will multiply these values to as many soldiers as the subscribers desire to make happy. ue of each No expense whatever will take from the full va subscription. No money is to be made by any one concerned in this holiday enterprise. Each box sent abroad, besides the desirable articles that will Aa So ea. oN delight its recipient, will contain a reply postcard addressed to the donor, and thus each giver of a box will probably in good time receive a thankful acknowledgment from the soldier to whom the gift goes. And with each 50 cents subscribed the donor may send his visiting card if desired. Jupce’s readers ought by this means to contribute to the happiness of tens of thousands of our soldiers abroad. Sixes and Sevens WHEN you don’t know what you ought to call any of President Wilson’s appointees, take a chance and call them “prexy.” s Ex-Czar Nicholas wants to vote in the Russian elections. But maybe they won’t let anybody vote but the men. 2 National prohibition, they say, is bound to win, even if Bryan should make good his threat and support it. * Direct primaries enable ambitious youngsters to spend money, in purifying the organization, which they would other- wise fritter away on tire punctures. 2 None of the proposed taxes on war profits include alimony. They do say it doesn’t pay to picket, do they? * Plenty of boosters in Congress for the war cagle, and quite some few for the peace dove—but the well known golden goose hasn’t a look in. e In war time the opposition party is like your wife—she mustn’t give evidence against you, of course, but can she help it if the jurors look at her when other folks testify? 2 During the war the Senators ought to waive their power to reject Wilson’s appointments—when Wilson will let them. comicbooks.com
