'Careless Talk Costs Lives - Be Like Dad - Keep Mum', World War II poster, c1939-c1945. Wartime propaganda encouraging people not to pass on sensitive information. The pun is based on a now outdated concept - men were the breadwinners and 'kept' their wives, ie supported them financially. To 'keep mum' also means to stay silent.
