WASHINGTON, D. c.
From far off China comes
this thoughtful, challending
word from Madame Kai
Shek, wife Of the Chinese
g Generalissimo, upon the oc-
casion marking the twenty
NTH anniversary of her
graduation from Wellesley
College.
Wars can only be
prevented il our world
society be SO constituted
ti'at all races are given
equal opportunity to de-
velop their native genius,
not hampered but aided
by stronger and more ad-
vanced races. It is para
doxical but true that ma
tions, like individuals,
can only permanently en-
JOY privileges and rights
if they are willing to
share them with others.
IF thev attempt to re-
serve them solely for
themselves they will lose
them. =
Further, Madame Kai-
Shek declared that exploi-
tation, imperialism, and all
other anachronisrns of our
present world society must
be swept out Of existence;
that, after victory over our
Axis enemies, cur world
system must be entirely al
tered; that we must all be
free peoples; and that ma
tions, strong or weak. must
deal fairly and squarely "
with each other.

ernment for their safety and
happiness"
Just previous to this petition, in
l777, the Is colonies, acting as one,
celebrated a day Of Thanksgiving
when the British general, Burgoyne,
was defeated.
True, popular tradition has it
that the first Thanksgiving was held
at Plymouth, Mass, when the Pill
grins had gathered in their first
harvest. But the significant fact
about Thanksgiving is to be noted in
Washington's recommendation for
national observance of day Of
thanks because Of the opportunity
given the early colonists ''to estab-
iish Constitution or government
for their safety and happiness"
A national, truly sincere spirit Of
Thanksgiving was born out of the
aftermath Of the nations first war.

part of our share in the nations
wartime effort begins with our
choice of foods"
A recent nationwide survey
showed that two out of five of us
suffer from hidden hunger-live at
half speed, because we only feed
parts of our body and let the other
parts starve. The body needs 40
different food elements to feed its
various cells-some elements to
feed muscles, others to feed the
brain, others for the cells by which
we see, feel and hear.

film story by which we will all be
taught ''to use food wisely and
thereby stop extravagant waste of
our abundant food stuffs and at the
same time get ourselves an equal
chance for health the way we got
ourselves an equal chance to vote"
''1f the American people will only
buy and cook well-balanced meals
those now suffering from hidden
hunger (not the hunger coming from
an empty stomach but the hunger in
a body that has been fed the wrong
kind Of food) will be brought back
to health and efficiency"
What is the amount and the kinds
of food man should eat every day
to be hale and hearty?
'One egg, one pint of milk (three-
fourths to one quart for growing

MOTHER OF
THANKSGIVING DAY.

The daughter Of Revolution
ary war army captain, Mrs.
Sarah Josepha Buell. Hale, native
of Newport, N. H., has the distinc-
ton Of being the "Mother Of
Thanksgiving day."
For years she tried vainly to
mobilize governors Of her time
to have them all agree ON one day
which w0nld be set aside as q
day Of Thanksgiving.
Finally she prevailed upon
President Lincoln In 1863 to pro-
claim Thanksgiving as uniformly
a national festival day.
Mrs. Hale, who died after 81
years Of great activity, was the
widowed mother Of five children.
She was an author, pioneer fem
mist, and also editor Of !G0dey's
Lady's Book in Boston during the
183Os.

What Causes
Bad Breath?

A few years ago I followed a con-
troversy as to whether bad breath
was due to food particles left be-
tween the teeth or to some disturb
ance in the stomach and intestines.
It is admitted that bad breath can
be caused by mouth and nose condi-
/ tions such as infected teeth and tom
sils, and by the dry form of catarrh.
But. what causes bad breath when,
mouth, nose and throat are free of
infection?
Drs. Burrill B. Crohn and Rudolph
Drosd, New York, in the Journal,
of the American Medical Associa-!
ton, state that heretofore patients
with bad breath have consulted nose
and throat specialists and dentists,
who searched for decaying teeth, in,
fected gums, and infections of
throat and Sinus. The teeth, the
gums, the tonsils and sinuses are
the cause at times only and cases
due to nose and throat conditions
are becoming less in number due,
7 to better knowledge Of the irnpor-
tance Of a healthy mouth, throat
and nose.s i''I ~" y lA
y, Experiments were made as to the
best method or methods to prevent
z the odor Of garlic on the breath.
These research workers found that
it was not the mouth nor the stom-,
ach that was responsible for the,
odor of garlic on the breath but the
intestines, particularly the small in,
: testine into which the partially di-
gested food is poured from the.
stomach. $50
Why is the small intestine respon-
sible for bad odors on the breath,
because oil of peppermint and oil
of wintergreen were also used in the
tests and these two oils acted ex-,
actly the same as garlic?
These research workers state that
halitosis is due to the fact that fat
foods eaten are not handled properly
or are not handled completely by
the liver and it is these incompletely
digested fat foods. lying in the small
intestine, that cause the odor. They
point out that patients with peptic
ulcer taking much milk daily often
have a bad breath. "If these pa
tients are given q diet Of cereal,
eggs, and lean meat, the odor dis
appears" - # r.

Food, and plenty Of it before
you. Enough food there to feed
at least eight times more starv-
ing Frenchmen, or Poles, or
Russians in territory under Hit
ler's oppression.
Something to be thankful for
there it is!
What do you suppose Hitler's
'Master Race" in Germany would
say about the ''New World Order"
if they had half the food in front
of them that millions Of Americans
will have on Thanksgiving day.
Another thing: If you don't like
what your congressman is doing you
are free to say so. You might even
write him a letter and tell him just
what you think, and what you think
of him. If you don't like the way
the war is going you say so. You'll
argue in public with someone who
disagrees with you about national,
state, or local political activities.
Suppose you had this inherent right
taken away from you. You'd be
thankful for it then. So why not
now?

observance of Thanksgiving is this:
We are able to carry the war back
to the enemy, and carry it back
hard and furiously to him wherever
he is.
In the early days of the Rev0-
lutionary war the soldiers, the
officers, the great majority Of
4 citizens didn't have to ask:
s'What are we fighting for?"
. They knew. For the enemy
was here, on this continent.
4 They saw him. They fought him
up and down the Atlantic coast.
In addition to being practical men,
these early colonists were dreamers.
They dreamed the great dream
which has been realized today with
this nation stretching from one
ocean to another-from our north
ern neighbor, Canada, to our SOUTH
ern neighbor, Mexico, both of whom
are now fighting a common foe
with us.
i Rationing, increased taxes, sons
and husbands in the armed forces
this is what confronts the whole ma
ton as the first wartime Thanks
giving in almost a quarter century
is observed.
Those who ask themselves what
they have to be thankful for will
think at first that there is no an
swer..
But common sense and logic will
prevail. A glance at almost any
newspaper will convince the reader
that freedom Of the press is more
than an expression in America. So
greatly valued is this freedom of
the press in occupied Europe that
thousands are risling immediate
execution by the Gestapo to print
underground newspapers with mes
sages for the unification of the op-
pressed. These newspapers, prov
ing the value of free press, are
often no larger than handbill,
but the importance Of their mes
sage cannot be overemphasized.
But maybe your mind doesn't run
in such channel. Maybe you still
will not be convinced as you sit at
the. table on Thanksgiving day.
There before you are mountains Of
food-turkey or goose or chicken:
creamy potatoes. cranberries, all
kinds of vegetables; cakes, pies,
puddings, desserts. So much food
that the plates, knives. forks,
