Altho the war has been a hardship on many of the people we should be glad that it awakened us from our complacency on the subject of national health. We, as a nation, have always been more or less satisfied. "Yes we have been prosperous, business has been growing, education for our children has been improving," so we say, and loll back comfortably in our cars and think we have done all there is to do. Many of us have felt sorry for the down trodden countries and have shed tears of sympathy when we heard of the terrible stories of the hunger of women and children of other countries. We have even pushed various enterprises to raise money to send over to alleviate such suffering.
