The boy is chock full of play and some fool pranks at times. “We have been told that if we have him vaccinated or have his tonsils removed he ‘will not be so wild.” The children should have been vac- cinated long ago. It is in infancy and early childhood that smallpox is most deadly or most severe and there- fore most likely to leave the victim's face horribly scarred and pitted, the attack at all. For this reason it is, in my judgment, the duty of par- ents to see to it that children are given this protection early in life, al \ways before the end of the first year, and if smallpox is epidemic in the community it is advisable to vaccinate the baby at the age of. 2 months. A child successfully vaccinated may re- tain a fair or sufficient degree of im- munity for life. The immunity against variola (smallpox) conferred by vaccinia (cowpox) is relative, not absolute, and probably diminishes gradually with the passing of the years. However, the susceptibility. to achusetts man says his three | i ! the child is lucky enough to survive | smallpox_ also | erows older. lessens as the child It may be that a second ttempt to vaccinate should be made when the child is 12 years of age or | thereabouts. This attempt will fail f the immunity be still fairly good. | My individual belief is that a second attempt at vaccination need not be | made unless the child is exposed to smallpox in an unusual or extraordi- nary degree; say in the midst of s | real outbreak or epidemic of small- pox in the community. Then the pre { caution of a second attempt at vaccl- | nation is advisable, I believe. | Unquestionably there is risk involved a_certain | redgree of in vac cination. Now toward infection occurs; once in a mil- {lion times even death is caused by vaccination. Nevertheless the risk is so insignificant, compared with the disastrous effects of smallpox and the | great risk the unvaccinated person jruns, that I believe in keeping well vaccinated. It is novel to find our old fried, Ben Told in a benevolgnt role. Here he is | urging the Massachusetts father to | try vaccination as a remedy for ‘‘wild- ness” in the case of the regular lively voungster. It is just as silly, though, to imagine that vaccination would improve a child’s health (aside from protection against smallpox) as It is to imagine that vaccination injures anybody’s health in any way. Benevolent Ben offers this rather credulous Yankee dad the alternative of sacrificing the child’s tonsils. That’s the cat’s pajamas.

Blossom With Life. On the mountain side of the Judean Hills are the old terraces when flour- {ished in the ancient past many olive groves and vienyards and gardens. But they now present a sad picture, {because they have been left so long to decay and stand fruitless. The great contrast that is noted the min- ute you enter the valleys, however— green growth, vegetables and fruit that greet you on all sides—speak vol- umes of what is being accomplished. Irrigation has brought the change in the last three or four years. The barren soil has been planted to orch- ards in which abound oranges, bana- nas, date palms and all kinds of vege- tables. There are large wheat fields and oorn fields as well. And the water that has made this luxurious growth possible has bgen pumped from the Jordan.

There have been alto gether about 135,000 of these trees re planted. The Arab chiefs have told me that the success of the Jewish farmer in these colonies have proved a great in fluence to the Arab, whose agricul- tu, methods have not changed since Biblical times. The waste of labor and |loss of soil have proved deplorable to the Arab.

In t methods they are separated by ci turies. The range of dry-land crop grown by the Jews is much wider that of the Arabs. Spring vegetables, Egyptian clover and Rhodes gr are valuable fodder crops that will enable more stock to be kept and the soil made more fertile.

So popular a beverage is coffee and S0 much a topic of discussion that we should know the story of how it started. The ancients in Greece and Rome knew mno coffee. Their loss, many of us may say! And it has now been definitely agreed that the coffee bean originated in Arabia, whence it was introduced in the sixteenth century into Egypt and Constantinople. A German physiclan, Leonhard Rawolf, by the account of his travels in the East printed in 1573, is credited with having been the first to make coffee known in Europe. Soon after the introduction of cof- fee, its use was stimulated by the opening of coffee houses. Constanti- nople had one as early as 1551. And one morning in 1652 London awoke to | find its first coffee house established in Newman's Court by a Greek cook named Pasqua—the forerunner of an institution that was to play an im- portant part in the social and political life of the city. The Greek Pasqua who established this first coffee house had been the servant of an English merchant named Edwards who brought some coffee with him from | Smyrna and whose house, when the fact became known, was so thronged with people eager to taste the new beverage that, in desperation to get rid of the nuisance, he established his servant in a coffee house and sent his visitors there!

Arrange alternate layers of the chicken meat and one pint of oysters in individual baking dishes. Make a paste of two tablespoonfuls of flour and two table- spoonfuls of butter or lard and add it to one and one-half cupfuls of chicken stock and one-half a cupful of the oyster liquor. Heat, stirring until thickened, season with salt, pepper, celery salt, and a few drops of onion juice, and pour this sauce over the meat. Use some cream in the sauce if a richer consistency is desired. Cover the tops with rounds of biscuit dough or puff paste. If pastry is used, score the top to allow steam (o escape.

It was his money rather than her own that she was spending, there- fore she was not wrong in her ex- travagance. The second intimation of the startling change that had taken place in Fay was revealed to Mrs. Carson when her mother's shawl away with her. Once Fay would have asked for it in a deprecating manner, as though she hardly expected her request to be granted. Now, although she was quite unconsclous of her attitude, Fay's re- quest could hardly be called by that name. “Oh, mother,” she said casually, as though the idea had just occurred to her, “I'd like to have grandmother’s shawl if you don’t mind. I have no Summer wrap and the shawl will be just the thing. Where is it, in the cedar chest?" “You're going to wear the shawl as an evening wrap?” Mrs. Carson asked incredulously. “Why, ves,” Fay returned, “why not? They're all the rage just now, every one Is wearing them.” “Your grandmother’s shawl!" time the incredulity in Mrs. volce was mingled with reproof. Fay laughed and went up to her mother. Usually she was not demon strative. She was too shy to show | any emotion, but tonight she seemed to have absorbed some Kitty Carlyle's witching blarney; certainly she was not at all like herself. | She slipped a caressing arm around | her mother’s shoulders, and looking up | at her daughter, Mrs. Carson felt a | sudden thrill of pride. She had never | thought of Fay as attractive, but to-| night she was so vivid, so full of | charm. “Darling little mother,” One mother says: Our two very active little girls of 2 and 4 enjoy an improvised basket ball game their father made for them from an old straw hat. He cut out the top; then fastened the remains, bottom side up, to the porch railing. The game is to see how far baoX they can stand to throw a tennis bal, through the hat, and each one that goes through is counted a “basket.” 1 (Copyright, 1325.)
