MARTIN FLEMING will always neglect the most ur gent needs of a child—vaccina tion against smallpox, typhoid vaccine, diphtheria antitoxin. They will take a chance. We will probably have such parents as these with us always, but they are not in the majority. Num bers are taking advantage of all health information given them and thanking those who give it. They know that neglect leaves its permanent mark not only in the mouth of the child, but on its general health. •Probably in no line of health work has so much progress been made, nor with such far-reaching results, as in mouth health teach ing in Wake County. And the beauty of it is we are just be ginning a realization of its ulti mate results. It is something you cannot measure with ordinary comparisons. The health of future genera tions is bettered by the health of this generation, and the next by the next, in an ever-increasing ratio of improvement. It is dif ficult to tell what another fifty years of mouth health progress will do for this county. We have no reason to think there will be any step backward, while an equal pace forward woulo carry us a long way towards the ap proach of a preventive rather than a curative practice of den tistry. You may say that is an Uto pian dream, but it is a worthy one, and we should use our best endeavors to make such a dream the program of our lives. \diUB ttmimaQf jntBK and ** INDBFBNlteNt NATIONS Wlbea we start to study any- thins. we must begin at the 4>e- .ginnla«. The Constitution of the United SUtes 4>eglns with a Pre amble A Preamble la Intended to explain the pnrpbee of what follows. The Preamble to our Constitution does that In BS words. “We, the ^people of the United States, In order to form a more perfect Union, eeUbllsh Justice, Insure domestic tranqulilty, pro vide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the bleaslugs Of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and eetaibllsh this consti tution for the United States of America.” That explains what the Consti tution was expected to do. It does not, however, exiplaln why It was necessary to draw up a Constitution, eleven years after the English Colonies of America had declared their Independence of great BrlUln. The Declaration of Independence was signed In 1778. The Constitution was ad opted In 1787. Brfore we can unlWatand the why of the Con- stltutlon.'-we must understand what kind of a government we had in America before there was any Constitution. The very first phease of the Constitution raises questions, ‘we, the people of the United Statep.’’ iHow were the States united before there was any Con stitution? What had kept them together throughout the War of the Revolution? What had held them together after the Revolu tion and before they adopted the Constitution? For, as they ex pressly stated in the Declaration of Independence, they wer;* not only free states, but indepandent states. For that matter, what did they mean by the word “states,” in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution itself? When the Founding Fathers of the Republic said “state” they meant exactly what we mean to day when we say “nation.” In The word^na?- tlon” was. seldom.

They called their union a .“Confederation of States.” Ex actly the same meaning would have been conveyed If they had called It a “League of Nations.” In th.e beginning, this union of Independent states was noth ing more than a mutual aUlancf to carry on the war. It was al most exactly the same sort of a “onion” as that between the al lied but Independent nations of Europe, for the conduct of the Worlif^War from 1914 to 1919. The American States had the common background of having all been subject to the same dom ination by another nation. But the utmost their leaders had In mind in the way of a union, at the beginning of the Revolution, was an alliance of Independent natons In what they explicitly termed a “League of Friend ship." The only central government that existed In America for the first five years of the war with Great Britain was the Continent al Congress, composed of dele gates from the thirteen states. It had so little power or authority that It could hardly he called a governuient at all. The Conti nental Congress could, borrow money, If anyone would lend It, but could not levy taxes to repay such loans.

July 15-16, while gazing at the moon as the eclipse was coming on, I was made to wonder how many peo ple were doing likewise and what they thought of the marvelous scene. I for one was seriously thrilled with amazement as the dark shade came over the moon with its brilliant redish cast looking similar to a bed of hot embers. Yet it did not extinguish the shape and features of the “wan 4h, tt© tnoon” as it has commonly been called, hut made it look plainer and really more like a mans face than before. O the scene was beautiful as the eclipse came on slowly over the moon and as I gazed upon the scene I imagined I could almost see the hand of God in the pro cession, for in a way God is seen ill eveTythtng, and His hand should be recognized in every thing that is good. O what a won derful display of His power In that eclipse. It reminded me of the change of earth life into that o f another world, especially those who are on the Lord’s side and when the dark hour of death passes the light on the other Veterans Choose Asheville Hickory, July 16.—The Unit ed Spanish War veterans, depart ment of North Carolina, in clos ing their 12th annual encamp- side will enrapture the soul with ment here today selected Ashe ville as the next meeting place.
