WHAT SHALL YOUR
ANSWER BE?
(By Richard H. Edmonds, Editor Manufacturers Record of Baltimore)
“America is made up of 100,000,000 units of individual men and wo
men. It has been well said that God does not know America as
America, except as he knows YOU and ME and EVERY INDIVID
UAL who in the aggregate comprise America.
“YOU are America to the extent of yourinvividuality. YOUR re
sponsibility in this world crisis is exactly the same as that of Ameri
ca as a whole.
“America must put forth every ounce of strength to save itself, but
America will fail to do this to the extent that any single individual
fails to do his or her duty.
“Viewed from this angle, are YOU truly an American or are YOU
merely a hanger-on, shouting perhaps with the crowd, but doing no
real effective service in this, the greatest crisis since man’s creation?
“Go deep down into YOUR soul before YOU make answer to your
self, to YOUR country and to YOUR God to these questions:
“What am J personally doing to uphold the Government, to equip
and sustain cur soldiers and to lighten their burdens?
“What sacrifice am I making to match the sacrifice of the soldiers
who give up home and endure untold hardships and offer their lives
to protect me?
“What am I doing to increase the output of the things heeded for
war or to sustain the nation in its stupendous task?
“Am I seeking personal gain of higher wages, or shorter hours, or
larger profits merely for MY OWN individual selfish interests?
Am I consecrating every ounce of my strength, every power of my
being toward arousing the nation, toward quickening latent patrio
tism into a living flame, toward increasing food production or lessen
ing food consumption and or toward the building of ships,
the increased output of steel and iron and coal and chemicals and
machinery, the expansion and at the same time the conservation of
transportation facilities by rail, water and highway?
“Am I adjusting my family expenses by cutting out every unnec
essary thing that the money thus saved may be dedicated to the na
tion’s use through Liberty Bonds, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. work, re
ligious activities or War Savings Stamps?
“Am Ia mere casual looker-on, an unthinking beast, with no real
ization of my own individual responsibility to God and man, or am I
consecrating all that is in me, all my powers of mind and body, to
this great task, the most momentous to which mankind has ever been
called?
“Am Ia shirker, a slacker, a physical, mental or financial coward,
or am Ia man or a woman into whom God has rea?ly breathed the
breath of life in its larger and divinest sense?;’

Take a Cascaret tonight to cleanse

feel all worn out. Are you keeping
your bowels clean with Cascarets —
or merely forcing a passageway ev

pills or oil?
Cascarets immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and fermenting
food and foul gases; take the excess
bile from the liver and carry off the

from the bowels.
Remember a Cascaret tonight
