Poster showing British soldiers conducting exercises while wearing gas masks. Text continues: Uncle Sam wants fruit pits and nut shells. They're needed to supply carbon for Gas Masks, and its up to you to save them. To do so will cost you nothing but a little effort. The result will be a saving of soldiers' lives. Any Red Cross Chapter will receive these contributions to victory. Caption: Group of British soldiers going through military drill with gas masks attached. When the Germans launched their murderous gas attacks they counted on a master stroke and the casualties were heavy. But the Allies soon began the manufacture of gas-masks which stopped the effect of gas attacks. The government wishes everybody to save fruit pits and nut shells to supply carbon for gas-masks.

Poster showing American and British soldiers in combat. Text continues: Government's message to employer and worker. Essential features of New Labor Program effective August 1st are: To all employers on war work: Get your help through the United States Employment Service and in no other way. To all other employers: Stop hiring help from another, stop poaching, stop running ads that take men from war work. And to all employees everywhere: Get your job through the nearest United States Employment Service and in no other way; let the Government and not some private employer tell you where you are best fitted, most needed. The Government is not drafting labor. It calls for Volunteers. So if you are patriotic do this: Until you are asked by the Government to make a change STICK TO YOUR PRESENT JOB, no matter where it is and work full time. Caption: "To hell with surrender" and "Come on boys, remember the Lusitania" rallying cries of the English and Americans. The above shows two striking drawings made by Matania of the London Sphere.

Exhibit poster showing two scenes of men in hospitals recovering from war wounds - "simple designing while still in bed" ; "an American soldier begins again to take an interest in life." Poster caption: Bedside and ward occupations serve to interest wounded men and keep their minds active and off their own troubles. Occupation is also one of the best curative agents at the command of the physician, and in most cases it does much to expedite recovery. Gone are the old days when men lay for months in a hospital bed gazing at the ceiling and brooding about the future. Exhibit of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men and the Red Cross Institute for the Blind.
