Everybody is reading in the news papers and hearing over the radio the terrible story of the greatest war in all history. It hfn’t touched us in America yet, but the fear that it will come to us, £ me time, in some way, is beginning to spread. It would be silly for any /'-' v r- ican to shut his eyes to that n^s- sibility. Nobody, generally sp ing, wants this country to r to war. Neither did the people of Holland, of Finland, of Belgiu 1 or of Norway want to go to war. tThe war came to them. They ha. no choice but to fight or surre: Jer. The war may come to us. if it does, we shall have to make the same choice. It is nonsense, as 1 see it, to say ence won that concession for the defeated foe. Their intentions were noble, but they put too much faith in the honor of Germany. CHRISTIANITY American Senator Vandenberg of Michigan expressed the feelings of most Americans the other day when he referred to the war against “Anti- Christ.” The spirit of America is essentially Christian, in the sense that our national guidance for a century and a half has been the fundamental essence of religion as expressed in the Golden Rule. The spirit of the German leader ship today is definitely and openly anti-Christian. It is not bouna by nor does it recognize any of the moral principles which are in grained in the American character, and expressed in our laws and the conduct of our public officials. There are exceptions, too many of them, to that broad generaliza tion about ourselves as a people and a nation, but on the whole it is true. Nothing arouses American public indignation so much as flagrant violations of the Chris tian spirit. Isn’t that so? DANGER within I do not believe that America is in any immediate danger of at tack from a foreign enemy. But I am reminded of the words of an old hymn in which protection was sought “from foes within and foes without.” There is more danger from “foes within” today than from foes without. The record of the successful invasion of small nations by Germany is one of treachery in which peoples of those nations served as spies to prepare the way for the enemy. “A man’s foes shall be those of his own household,” said Jesus. There has been plenty of evidence brought forth, by the Dies Com mittee and other investigators, that enemies of the American sys tem of government are at work in our midst.

How One Woman Lost 20 Pounds of FAT Lost Her Prominent Hips Lost Her Double Chin Lost Her Sluggishness Gained a More Shapely Figure and the Increase in Physical Vigor and Vivaciousness Which So Often Comes With Excess Fat Reduction. Thousands of women are getting fat and losing their appeal just be cause they do not know what to do. Why not be smart — do what thousands of women have done to get off pounds of unwanted fat. Take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water first thing every morning to gently activate liver, bowels and kidneys—cut down your caloric intake—eat wisely and satisfyingly—there need never be a hungry moment! Keep this plan up for 30 days. Then weigh yourself and see if you 1 haven’t lost pounds of ugly fat. Just see if this doesn’t prove to be the surprise of your life and make> you feel like shouting the good news to other fat people. And best of all a jar of Kruschen that will last you for 4 weeks costs but little. If not joyfully satisfied—money back. DR. HENRY J.
