If your medicine cabinet contains
a collection of drugs prescribed by
a physician for an illness now past,
it is the part of economy and safe
practice to throw those half-full
bottles away.
A prescription is a written or
der for the preparation and admin
istration of one or more drugs,
written by the physician for the
treatment of a specific disease in
a specific person. Thus its re-
peated use for subsequent ailments
or for other people constitutes a
misuse
The reasons for this are obvious.
Two diseases causing similar symp-
tons may be entirely different.
Further, drugs may act differently
in different people. Dosage is af-
fected by age, body weight, and
sex. And most important of all,
anyone who is sick enough for
medicine is sick enough to have a
physician.
The only proper use for pre-
scription is when it is administered
to the patient as prescribed by the
physician. When it has served its

From Alaska

THE route 10 Japan lies through Alaska, says Maj.
L Alexander P. de Seversky in the film Victory
Through Air Power made by Walt Disney, based on
Maj de Severskys widely read book of the same name
This film is epochal for two reasons
Because it reveals Maj de Seversky as legiti-
mate heir Of Billy Mitchell, who martwed by the
army for telling that the nation with the largest and
best bombers would rule the world.
because as a vivid, realistic cartoon and speak
ing picture it will bring home the truth by eye and
nothing else could to millions Americans that JAPAN

Maj de seversky demonstrates with maps and
animated pictures that it is almost hopeless to defeat
Japan by the inch-byinch land and process

Japan must be punctured through the HEART, not
through the toes and fingers.
Japan must be bombed devastatingly the Allies

And the sprngboard to Japans industrial centers is

GAIOT at all. The social struggle will continue

can guarantee that those ends hereafter will be

Democratic life in Mexico cannot boast Of
having arrived at the pinnacle. Few nations In
the world can say they have done so. But the
important fact is that democratic feeling is daily
converting itself into the irmest norms.
Up to this point have talked only of our

But there is factor that gives our peoples

GDY VIRTUE of its proximity and the prestige

to the United States great school of Latin
American -Hfe.-PFeef- OF that is the great en-
thusasm that our summer school here has
aroused among American educators and scholars.
"And, in the United States, the feryor to
study Spanish is abundantly clear.
This language is the key TO better know-
edge and perfection of our culture. Mexico IS
also great school of modern painting. Our
work in carved stone and folk-song has awakened
great interest in the United States. All this
shows, obviously, that the contact of our cul-
lures is powerful means of approachment, and
il widens at the same time the field of intellec-
tual and artistic activities in both countries.
Mexico, in turn has great deal to learn
from the United States, most specifically from

action-in education, I'm legislation and assimila-
ton into the labor and civilized life of the United
States is most urgent.
Few things can weaken our battle posi-
tions against Nazsm to keep alive in our
practices those articles of Hiteran doctrine that
all free peoples reject and condemn.
But all this must come from the frank and
decided intention toward cooperation by both our
peoples. Just during war this cooperation
has produced indsputable benefits. 1t must be
taken as obvious that during peace it will yield
still more important advantages"
Since good relations between nations must be
reflected in terms of mutual profit as well as mutual
sentiments, in the exchange of goods as we'll as
ideas. what then is the basis for sound CONNER
Cial development between the United States and
Mexico?

Understanding Produces Results

IN CONCRETE terms, the American Mexican
/ understanding is producing important results
Senor Padilla pointed out:
Mexico is enthusiastically keeping up her
production. The delivery of strategic materials
to the United States is a considerable source of
supply for military purposes.
"The Mexican army has completed all prepa-
rations to secure coasts against any attempt
to use Mexican soil as a base of aggression
against the United States.
"The spirit of the Mexican army and of its
conscripts is truly splendid. Should the con-
flict be prolonged and the required armament he
in hands. the armed forces of Mexico will
fulfill to the utmost what the honor and the de-
fense of our common destinies demand
Let me also emphasize that we are sending
many thousands of Mexican workers to the
United States to permit American workers to
enter military service without injuring American
production.
