NTELL, the Declaration of independence
w served so we'll as a rallying cry that
we won the war. When it came to writ
ing the Constitution, Jefferson was in
France. When he came back, he fought
to have 10 amendments added. And this
was done. They are called the Bill of
Rights, and their purpose was to protect
and save the people from their own elected
government, as the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was an announcement that we
had banned together to save ourselves
from a government overseas which had
become foreign for lack of sympathy with,
and understanding of, the problems of the
New World
In Russia the people have always taken
their welfare from on high, and they
can't imagine anything else. They are a
great people and hard fighters; but we
simply can't understand how they can
take orders and obey them as they do
In Russia you must always have your
passport with you. Most Americans have
never seen a passport. In Russia you
can't take short railroad trip without
it. In our country the government has
been on its knees to people to quit over
crowding the trains and let the soldiers
get home.
IN RUSSIA you can't go into a foreign
L country without permission and that is
almost impossible to get if you leave on
anything but a government mission.
Otherwise it is hard to get back and you
are regarded as some one contaminated
The newspapers publish only what the
government permits. Over here the ma
jority of the newspapers are usually
against the administration. A Russian
can't leave his own house for "a hours
without notifying the police Imagine
what scandal that would bring about
over here The Russian labor bosses
are part of the government The work
hours are long and hard and there is no

ceivabe and even TO foment strike lays
one liable TO the death penalty.
Imagine that here!-where the labor
unions practically run the country and
1,OOO, 900 men on strike i'm violation of
solemn pledges and government orders.
In Russia the voters have only one ticket
put before them. Elections like ours are
simply unimaginabie over there.
OUCH things as these make one marvel
- at the American Communists who
want to give us government like Rus
sia's don't wonder that all the American
Communists stay here where they can be
free and get rich; but | wonder at their
even suggesting that we throw away our
liberties and wrap chains around their
wrists and ankles-and necks.
In our country, man can do anything
that is not forbidden by a special law.
The government has no power at all, ex-
cept what has been specifically assigned
to it by permission of the people. 1t is
we who tell the government what it can
do. We should always remember that
and keep reminding ourselves and our Of
fcials of that magnificent fact. The
American is born free. and no freedom
can be taken from him except by special
law accepted by the people and authorized
by the people.

Sometimes when the baby's
food has been changed he will
refuse it at first. In this case let
him 60 without food until he Is
really hungry. and he will usual
ly take it with relish, and for
get that he did not like it.
If the baby refuses food be-
cause he is sick it will not be
long until other symptoms APP
pear, such as fever or diarrhea.
OF course, I h csc symptoms
should be reported to the doctor.
In the meantime he may be
given boiled water, if he will
take it, until the doctor advises
about his care.
An older child will some
times refuse food in order to &c.
special attention. This is likely
TO happen if he has been coaxed
or if too much has been said in
his presence about his appetite.
Child specialists say that it is
wise to remove the food and say
no more about it until the next
time. If it is again refused, think
nothing of it. If the matter at
tracs no attention, the child will
soon lose interest in the game
and eat normally.

plants and the manner in which
men and women work there has
made me realize that for every
one man who has been on strike,
there have been five or ten
thousand breaking their backs
over lathes and drill presses
I've seen men and women work
in plants in Britain and Russia
/ never saw people work harder,
more intelligently, or more loyal
ly, than our own American
workers-men and women. We
never hear about that: we only
hear about the occasional strike.
We forget that most of the
workers in war plants have sons,
brothers or relatives in uniform
and they're breaking their necks
to produce war weapons that
will help them. We forget that
every war bond drive we've had
has been oversubscribed, and ii
isn't because everyone at home
is making plenty of money. Tax
es cut that income down so that
when you buy a war bond now,
you've really got to dig. I've

fused to hear jokes in the war
zone about rationing at home.
Remember those songs we had in
the Sicilian messes: Don't waste
food, boys. Remember the folks
back home are rationed." We
used to laugh at home rationing,
and figure that the folks were
probably squawking because
they could only get steaks three
times a week. Well, I've been
home several months now. and
l have yet to hear anyone
squawking about rationing. Ra-
tioning isn't severe, but you do
have to stand in line, and you
don't get steak or roast beef very
often, but all I've heard people
say is "How lucky we are things
aren't really tough" And If
things get really tough, I'll bet
you so to one you still won't
hear any squaWks.

them when I was in Sicily and
Italy, but since I've returned

Sometimes young inexperi-
enced mothers become greatly
concerned when their babies re-
fuse to eat. 1t may be a comfort
TO know that doctors say there
is no need to worry over the
fact that the baby misses a meal
or two. A brief rest may be good
for his stomach.
A baby's appetite is likely to
be as unpredictable as that of an
adult. Sometimes he will refuse
food simply because he is not
hungry. Perhaps he will enjoy
his next meal more for having
gone without food for awhile. A
baby should never be urged or
forced to take food if he does
not want it.
Loss of appetite may be caused
by excitement, change in sur
roundings, irregular hours, lack
of sleep, or previous overlooking.
Under these circumstances, re-
moving the cause of the disturb
ance will undoubtedly restore
the appetite to normal within
a day or SO.

certain of the identity of his car
before putting anything in it. He
purchased a fifth of spirits on a
