To center the thought and feeling of one hundred million persons upon any fundamental prin ciple for which a nation might stand requires courage, strength and ability on the part of those who lead. The spokesmen themselves must be ani mated with devotion to cause and country. William J. Bryan has done much in this direction and is today recognized as one of the two or three great personalities in America who are doing the greatest good in unify ing the nation. ".My work, as I conceive it," says Mr. Bryan, "is to help unity the na tion in support of the government. If I were to discuss the merits of propositions I would continually arouse and encourage controversy. But when I insist it is the duty of every citizen to support his govern ment in any act the government takes, I am presenting a proposition which is not open to dispute. "Ours is the best government in the world it is a people's govern ment and the government speaks for the people. The alternative is an archy the substitution of the indi vidual's opinion for his government's decision." Every man and woman in the United States who, in any capacity, leads or directs the thought of the people has as solemn a charge of duty in respect to unifying the nation as has Mr. Bryan. If the Germans had captured as many prisoners and killed as many Allied soldiers ai their reports indi cate, there would have to be a radical revision of census statistics in Europe or there might not be any other worlds to conquer. - - Tor the liberty of the soldiers' souls the Y. M. C. A. is now making its gigantic drive. The campaign may truly be regarded a liberator and con server of humanity and merits the support of every patriotic American.

In addition to this method of sending parcels, the War Department will take Christmas boxes up to twen ty pounds in weight if they are packed in strong wooden boxes, not to ex ceed two cubic feet in volume, well strapped and with a hinged screw top, so that they can be easily examined by the military authorities, and con tain no inflammable, explosive or other prolfibited matter. Articles sent by mail should be addressed with the name of the soldier, the regiment and company or unit to which he be longs, and "American Expeditionary Forces," and be conspicuously marked "Christmas parcel." Articles sent through the War Department may be sent by parcel post, addressed "Care of the Commanding General, Port of Embarkation." It is thus seen that to send a Christmas gift to a soldier in the trenches means no small end of trouble and expense. But when we consider the joy that attends such a gift, how small the expense becomes. And, above all things, moreover, "the gift without the giver is bare." Let us each do our part as unselfish pa triots in spreading good cheer among the boys in the trenches. 4,0!tt FOOD I'LElKiES SHJXEI) Columbia Alone Will Kcui-Ii Entirt (juola Set for Boone Count-. Food pledges numbering 4,092 have been signed in Columbia, exclusive of those signed by students in the Uni versity and Stephens College and by negroes. When these are included, they will probably bring Columbia's total to nearly 5,700, which is all that Boone County was asked for. Daily Hoover Hint You can use marshmallows in cof fee, tea or cocoa, and they will take the place of cream as well as sugar. You can cook some raisins or dates In your breakfast porridge and no sugar will be needed and the food value increased. You can use marma lade or any fruit sauce with your breakfast porridge. Orange marma lade is good. Put a spoonful on each dish as you serve it. Marmalade or jam or molasses is good on griddle cakes. . Use molasses cakes and ginger bread. You can sweeten apple pie with molasses. Honey is a good substitute for sugar, though more costly. Some have been saving sugar by taking out a heaping tablcspoonful from the cup every time they make a cake, and they have had no frosted cake recently. Expert Shoe Repairing of all kinds.

CHBISTOAS lX-fHETBE'rHES Not many weeks remain until Christmas, that day of good cheer and liberality, will bo here. But Christ mas, 1917, will be much different in the United States than any such holi days in many years.

For the United States is at war, and the strenuous demands of Mars allows no time for holidays. But we who have no one upon to lavish Christmas gifts must remem ber that not all those young men who' have answered the call of their coun try have families to send them good cheer. Far away, in the trenches of the first American contingent in France, are many "Sammies" who will spend Christmas Day without the happiness that attends a gift unless those who can do so remember them. That those who have left behind a mother or sister, or other relative, will be well taken care of is not to be doubted. i Chief among the things that must be remembered by those who would send Christmas presents to soldiers abroad is that it takes a long time for mails to reach the trenches in France. Eleventh-hour buying of presents will not do. The Postoflice Depart ment has issued directions for mail-J Ing packages, giving two ways In which gifts may be sent.
