THE HOUSE OF COLOR
DEMOCRACY IN ROME AND AMERICA
Human nature, us they say, dnoim't change much.
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

How the cooking tests
were conducted
Slowly, carefully tasting as they went
EjiV-y .TJSSS'l Women of the United States will be inter-
Jy'lJ?$al ested in knowing how the now famous cook
ing tests were recently conducted in New
York -jy four famous cooking experts.
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
"Thank you. 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.
