Each year thousands of timid young
women. who never have been told certain
facts, enter marriage completely unin-
formed. In this dilemma, what is the
young wife to do? Because of natural
shyness or lack of confidence in the knowl-
edge of friends, she hesitates to seek the
advice of others. Too often she either
places her dependence on weak, ineffec-
tive homemade" mixtures; or resorts
to over-strong solutions of acids for the
douche which can actually burn, scar
and even desensitize delicate tissue.
Today such risks are needless. Science
has given womankind safe-yet amaz-
ingly powerful liquid for the douche.

Immediately all germs and bacteria with

 THE STUDY OF AMERICAN HISTORY was subject under dis cussiOn in the U. s. Senate re- gently. We are all for the study of history, but feel that the whole story is not always taught in schools. The history of American LabOr's struggle for economic democracy, as we'll as the study of the cooperative movement, should be taught our children. But the de- bate in the Senate was not about including these subjects, but about whether American History should be taught in the old-fashioned or the new-fashioned way. It was a senseless argument that took up precious time that the Senators might have put on more pressing matters. After all, the resolution passed on the teaching of Ameri- can History has no binding effect on the States school systems.
 THESE ARE HISTORY-MAK- ING days, and the men who occupy the seats of power in Washington and the States capitals hold much of the future of their country and the world in their hands. They should take their jobs seriously, and be guided by the principles of American democracy, rather than mere class and group interest.
