MILITARY POWER WILL
RESTRAIN RUSSIA

The only way to keep Russia from deliber-
ate military aggression in the immediate fu-
ture according to Leut-General Walter Be-
dell Smith, who served three years as Ambas-
sador at Moscow, is an unwavering and posi-
tive application of the program of the Allan
tic powers
The New York Times, which has been print
ing excerpts from the book of the former Am
bassador, says that General Smith "comes to
the bleak conclusion that the present Soviet
regime is the prisoner of it's own dogma by
which it must stand or fall and that this dog
ma-product of Communist ideology and
great Russian ambitions-calls for world
wide revolution to establish Communist dom
|ination."
The Ambassador believes that Soviet policy
lis influenced by hostility toward the West,
somewhat intensified by the feeling of inse-
Icurity of those who live by terror Conse-
quently, he thinks that Soviet energies are
concentrated on making Russia fas strong as
possible and prospective opportunity as weak
as possible.
The General is not of the opinion that the
Atlantic powers, if they create counterforce
able to balance Russian might and make ag-
gression too risky to be tried, might find that
the Russians are interested in getting along
with the rest of the world.

WEAR OUT YOUR BODY-DIE!

The breakdown of blood vessels in the hu-
man body causes four times as many deaths
as cancer, declares DR.. Edward l.. BortZ past
ton, who says what really kills people is that
they wear out their bodies thirty years too
soon.
The doctor thinks that the life-span of hu-
man beings can be heightened thirty per cent
and that men could live to be one hundred
by correct living He insists that the life span
today is no longer than in the days of Christ. F."
What does the doctor propose that the peo-
pie of this country do to prevent their blood
vessels from breaking down? His answer is
to "eat we'll and not too much. Rest we'll, eli
inmate we'll and get sufficient exercise"
DR., Bortz insists that the people in the Unit
ed States over-fed and suggests that they
cut down on eating fifty per cent to live long
er and be healthier. He objects to modern
food because most of it is fatty and ''fats
cause most blood vessel breakdowns." He says
that fatigue is major factor in accident, dis
ease, and the wearing out of bodies. More
over he suggests that people at work need
rest period every two hours and that "ten
minutes of relaxation will work wonders."
We call attention to the views of this medi-
cal man, not because they are new but be-
cause his advice is timely His statements Of
fer an excuse to an editor to suggest again to
the readers of his newspaper that they con-
serve their health and practice the art of keep
ing well rather than that of being cured.

potash, which give strength and
permanent brillancy to fine glass
ware. Lime glass has very little or
no ring at all.
Electric dishwashers are good
for washing glassware. When
washing crystal in sink or dish
pan, always wash the crystal be-
fore doing the rest of the dishes.
A couple of drops of bluing added
to the water will add luster to the
glass. Crystal decorated with gold
should never be washed with scald-
ing water or strong soap.
Dry glassware as soon as pos
sible after rinsing with dry alb
sorbent towel made of some lint

However, if the nick is very tiny
it can sometimes be sanded away

The tableware for home
should blend with the home furn-
ishings. Blending your table ware
with your decorating theme-per-
iod or modern-will be a simple
matter. There is plenty of hand
some American glassware that will
fit the mode of any style of furn-
ishings as well as even the most
modest budget.
When choosing your glassware,
it is wise to select a handwrought
pattern, and do not shy away from
color. Color may best suit the mo-
tiff of the room and can bring va
riety and distinction to home.
Look at glassware very closely
before making a purchase. Clear
crystal should be clear as fine
diamond with no yellowish or mud
dy casts. Colored crystal should be
rich in color and sparkling clear.
Another test of good crystal is
to tap the edge of goblet with
your fingernail. If the ring is bell
like, the glass contains lead and

Health and
Beauty e..
DR.. Sophia Brunson

Those Of us who went through
it will never forget the plague of
Influenza that swept through the
earth with it's besom of death dur
ing the latter part Of World War
II.
At an army camp, upon inquir-
ing into the conditions there, l was
told that large building was piled
from the floor to the roof with
coffins of the victims of Influenza
They were awaiting shipment for
burial. A railroad conductor said
to me, "I haul more dead than liv-
| ing. They have died from influen-
"a"
Influenza is highly contagious
and spreads with remarkable ra-
pidity. The worst outbreaks have
been in the cold seasons of the
wear. One attack does not protect
from a subsequent one. The incu-
baton period is generally from
one to four days and the onset is
usually abrupt, with fever and it's
associated phenoena.
| There are several forms of in
fluenza. The simplest sets in with
bad cold, but with high fever,
prostration, and more debility than
| is usual with choriza. An intestinal
type of flu has been quite prevail
ent in the last few years.
! A patient with any type of in
fluenza should be put to bed at
once under the care of physician.
It is easier to prevent influenza
than it is to cure it. One of the
most important Of all precautions
against disease of any kind is to
get a reasonable diet. This should
contain a variety of food from day
to day. Our bread should consist of
whole wheat, Cereals of whole
grains, with eggs, milk, meat, veg
etables, especially the leafy ones
such as turnips, collards, mustard,
and many others should be eaten.
Carrots, Irish potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, especially in the South,
where they are abundant, should
be included in the diet. Sweet po-
tatoes are more nutritious than
white varieties.
! Get eight hours of sleep, if pos
sible, and freedom from worry is
important. If you begin to feel
somewhat debilitated, you should
be benefited by a quinine tonic.
Quinine is a very powerful anti
septic and has many beneficial eff
fects upon the body. Though qui-
nine has been used by civilized
people for decades, especially in
the case of malaria, it has numer-
Gus other healing and curative
properties. AS stomachic and
bitter tonic it is unexcelled. 1t is
used in the cure of indigestion.
If one begins to feel debilitated
and suffers from lack of appetite,
a suitable tonic will pick him up.
One that contains quinine will
prove especially beneficial. If you
take about two grains to the dose
after meals, your appetite will i'm
prove and the food will absorb bet
ter.
The materia medics says 'the
patient feels stronger after
course of quinine." The writer can
testify to the truthfulness of this
statement. This tonic helps you to
keep built up. With a good, gener-
Gus, diet, rest as needed, together
with peace of mind you will i'm
prove rapidly. If you keep away
from those who have influenza and
colds, the probability is that you
will escape these diseases entirely.
But if you should by any chance
contact them, the attack will be
greatly lightened, if you observe
the precautions mentioned above

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS TRAVEL!

The approaching Christmas holidays mean
that there will be an unusual increase in vehc-
ular traffic, as we'll as a greater number of
pedestrians ON the streets and highways. In
addition, the weather of early Winter is
bound to aggravate the hazards of our high
ways.
For this reason, it may be appropriate at

RELIGION AS A PART OF LIFE

Every in while we pick up news
paper to read that some solemn orator had
declared that if the American way of life is
to be preserved, religion must be part of
the life of every American.
Nobody that we know of disputes the state
ment 1t is often made, however, by those who
mean that their form of religion must be
part of the life of every American.
This is, of course, nonsense. While yield
to no one In the Importance that we attach
to a religious life, we insist reigiously upon
the right of every American to- exercise his
freedom in regard to religion as in regard to
everything else.
A generalized statement that religion must
be in the life of our people means what the
speaker happens to think it means at the time.
Usually, the utterance is connected with some
particular ecclesiastical organization or quot
ed for some political, economic or social pur-
pose. Where is it used to emphasize the basic
fright of individuals to worship as they please?
