YOUR COUNTRY AND MINE

One hundred and fifty-rwo .rars
ago our learned forefathers saw the
need of establishing this nation un-
der the banner of democracy and
for the love of liberty and Justice
not for one but the privilege of all
men blessed by the rights of Amer
lean citizens. Sometimes we fail to
consider the significance Of the day
in our more natural desire to con-
slider how and where to spend it. AS
isolated as some folks may be In
regard to habitation they cannot be
unaware of the strife and distress
In the majority Of nations due to
fights for liberty and civil rights.
Many Of our own people at one time
called these nations their home.
We live In the shadow Of q tri-
c0l0red flag beset with stars and
realize the meaning Of democracy.
We have the privilege of developing
our intelligence and our business.
We pray to keep our homes, our
churches and schools, public well
fare institutions, and our God-given
right-the ballot-box, all of these
going to make up our measure of
freedom. The Fourth Of July, the
birthday Of the greatest nation in
the world! History shows us that
there is constant struggle on the
part Of millions Of men and women
merely for right to earn decent
living. OF course we have national
problems and there are discrepen-
cies in government we may criticise,
but that always holds true In mat
tiers Of state. There are certain
rights we maintain through the
Declaration Of Independence that
are unquestionable and will be sup
ported by all Of us who call this
nation home. People around Ken
newick pledged again their support
OF life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" This government of free
people has grown In wealth and
power since the signing Of our in
dependence and will continue to do
so. It was John Adams who said,
I'VE shall make this a glorious, an
immortal day. When we are in our
graves. our children will honor it.
They will celebrate it with thanks
giving, with festivity, with bonfires
and Examinations. On its annual
return they will shed tears, copious
tears; not Of subsection and
slavery, not Of agony and distress,
but Of exultation, Of gratitude and
Of JOY"

WOMAN,S REALM
.BRAURX---z.-~.--n.--- GlorUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 It is mistake for any girl to say, or worse yet, believe that she has "a naturally bad skin." Experts agree that there are precious few skins which are just naturally bad. The vast majority of blemished complexions are the result of care- less cleansing or fabrication rou- tines ,or both, bad health habits, in- correct diet or other forms of neglect.
 Naturally, if you have had bad complexion more years than you care to remember, the first thing to do is see your family doctor, have thorough physical examination, explain your health habits to him, see specialist if he advises. Very often faulty elimination or failure to digest properly the food you eat cause blemishes and other skin ail- ments.
 If you doubt the importance of fresh air, sunshine and exercise, consider for a moment how much more attractive your skin and hair are during summer months than they are in the winter time when you are indoors great deal. Re- solve to walk one mile every single day for two months, to eat one large, green salad every day, to sleep a full eight hours every night. In addition, clean your skin more carefully, use regularly at least one preparation designed particularly to correct your special skin defect. At the end of the two months, you no doublt will notice definite inn provement in your complexion.
 But I've done all that" you say.
 But have you really? Have you honestly and truly - discussed your general health with your doc tor. then stuck to rigid beauty and health schedule for two months? Or did you skip various routines now and then? Or get dis couraged when you saw no results dI Iile eilu Ol CIlIce WetkS dIlU SlVe up the entire idea?
 If, in spite of your and your doc tors best efforts, your complexion still isn't clear and smooth, don't become discouraged to the point of deciding that you never can be an attractive woman. Concentrate on achieving hair so glorious that peo- pie notice it instead of your skin, on having a perfect figure, on being exquisitely groomed. If you have a deep, sincere desire to be really at tractive, nothing can keep you from your goal-not even bad com- plexion.
 NEXT: Makeup for problem skins.

Fever and Ague Always With Us
 Experience shows that it is possi- ble to stamp out an infectious or epidemic or endemic disease that affects only man and not animals or other animate creatures. It is difficult or impossible to stamp out a disease that is carried by animate hosts other than man.
 Plague has been virtually eX- cluded from this country in the last twenty years by the eternal vigi- lance of the U. s. Public Health Service and rigid inspection of in- coming ships and cargoeS by the port quarantine. Plague Is carried by fleas that infest rats and ground sQuirrels-one rat going ashore from a ship tied at pier or wharf might easily start the conflagration. That is why the quarantine regula- tions require those large disks on cables or lines tied to p:er or wharf rats can't pass such a barrier if the disk is wide enough and per- fectly smooth so that it affords no foothold for the wise old rat.
 Diphtheria carriers, as most in- telligent people know, are persons who harbor in nose or throat viru- lent diphtheria bacilli although not themselves susceptible to diph- theria. A diphtheria carrier, how ever, may infect susceptible in- dividuals who suffer as severely as
 
 from a patient gravely ill with it. Besides healthy human carriers, who are unaware of their dread poten- tiality as a rule, there are animal carriers that probably account for many otherwise inexpiicable out breaks of diphtheria, notably such pets as cats and dogs.
 The child of a hospital superin- tendent came down with diphtheria She had not been in contact with the hospital patients or staff, ex- cept her father, and he had not even approached the diphtheria pa vilion. But the family kept dog, and the dog had dropped in to say hello to the convalescent diphtheria DdtlSllto CNCly u1y-lio OiiC ItOGiCCu the dog defying the isolation rules Culture of the dogs throat was positive--the dog was a carrier of virulent diphtheria bacilli, although nst sick.
 Malaria and mosquitos probably we shall always have with us. Theo- retcally it is possible to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes of all breeds, whether of the malaria carrying breed or others, by keeping prem ises clear of old cans, bottles or other trash which may hold water long enough for mosquitoes to breed in it; by keeping caves and rain- spouts unobstructed: by screening cistcrns, open wells, garden pools rain barrels, and other receptacles or tanks holding water; by planting miilrcws in pondsn, pools or streams whose borders or shores are weed grown and aagnant: by draining marshes and swamps: and finally py spraying oil on the surface ol any stagnant water.
