Here, for example, is a .set of political slogans that were painted on the walls of ancient I'ompeii in some long-for-Rotten Roman election. They were uncovered just the other ; day when Mussolini's excavators cleared away the ruhhish from one more street in the buried city of Vesuvius. One inscription read simply, "Mansa Salnnus never Retsj drunk. Another, written doubtless by u politician who lnew full well how the Roman masses liked the free munici- ; pal bread and gladiatorial shows, ran thus: "If you care for flood bread and better games, vote for Cleonius Prisus." A third, which sounds almost as if the old Pompelians must ; have had woman suffrage, reads: "Vote for Julius Politius, , a man as handsome as the god Apollo." ! There is something faintly humorous about these political , slogans. They are no naive, so unabashed. One man proud ly sets foith that he is a model of sobriety; another brazenly promises to do the right thing by his constituents in the matter of raiding the public treasury, and the third calls attention to his good looks and lets it go al that. It is, on the whole, rather amusing, not to say instructive. For it must be remembered that the Unmans, originally, had a very fair measure of self-government. They had the machinery of u democracy, of a sort, if they could have made it work. But they couldn't. The masses were too poorly educated. They could not understand the real issues of the (lay; they had to be baited with slogans like those quoted above. There's a lesson in that for us. If we succumb to super ficial, meaningless slogans in our politics, ignoring the fundamental issues to listen to catchwords, we shall go the way Rome went. H takes intelligence the ability to un ' derstand and discuss weighty problems to make a demo cracy work. t 1 NKW YOH K ( AP) The Conti nental Insurance company has in augurated policies to Insure polf clubs n Bit In st damage to their links through forced landings by n vi ators.

Vegetable foods were chosen and cooked in many ways, because vegetables are so im portant to tlie balanced diet. The experts were experienced in discriminating shades of flavor. Not more than three vegetables were cooked and tested at one time in order that the sense of taste should not be blunted. Tiiis explains why the tests had to be carried over such a long period of time. In every case, vegetables cooked in little water with the addi tion of a dash of sugar won unanimously. This, at first, might strike some as surprising, but it must be remembered that it is not the purpose of the small amount of sugar to make the vegetables taste sweet. Sugar is used here as a seasoning, and it is perhaps the greatest seasoning of all. It develops the natural, delicate flavors of the vegetables just as it does of fruits, cereals, meats, gravies and soups. Encourage variety and you encourage health for every member of your family. Serve at least two cooked vegetables a day in addition to a raw vegetable salad. Serve at least two fruits a day. Serve milk desserts. Then make the balanced diet so attrac tive that everyone will welcome it. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute.

Coffee does help, I think." "But such good coffee. You must have a secret." "Nothing but M-J-B." Selected grades of green coffees from favored districts in far countries arc com bined in making the famous M-J-B Blend. Its full-bodied richness and rare flavor is developed and brought out by the M-J-B process of blending nnd aging before roasting. Many people find that with M'J-B, the full-flavored blend, they use slightly less coffee. Whether you make it strong, mild or medium M-J-B has the matchless coffee flavor that only the rich blend can give. M-J-B is vacuum-sealed in the new im proved friction top key-cans by M-J-B's own patented process. Ask for M-J-B coffee at your grocery. Look for the let ters on each can.
