The Worst Christmas Present.

The Worst Christmas Present
In an editorial in the December
Woman's Home Companion, writer
says:
The most miserable Christmas
present. the kind that no human be-
ing is rich enough to afford, is that
which is bought to make a show. to
exploit ones own vanity.
When You are tempted to buy a
'show-off' present, remember that the
recipient has some rights. He who
understands will be made unhappy
by that kind of gift. You know your
self that when you receive a present
that represents great sacrifice on
the part of the giyer 1t makes you
feel miserable, even when the right
spirit OF generous friendliness is be-
hind it.
THE cost IL money is about the
poorest Of measures for any kind OF
a gift. The thoughtfulness In it, the
recognition OF a desire for things un-
asked for, the affection that goes with
it. counts for much more Every
Christmas each of us receives mes
sage that means more than the mos,
expensive gift. Yet we forget that
sometimes In the perplexing selection
of presents for others.'

INFANT Paralysis

Professor NJ j Rosenau of uar.

apparently succeeded in transmitting
infant paralysis from monkey to
monkey through the agency of the
biting STABILITY. Confirmation o,
Rosenau's work has just appeared in
an article By Anderson and Frost in
the u. s. Public Health Reports.
These authors report that thew were
able to transmit infant paralysis to
monkeys through the agency Of the
flies and to transmit the infection to
fresh monkey with the emulsion of
the cord of one of the animals infect
ed by the flies.
One point of especial interest in the
results reported by Anderson and
Frost is the period elapsing between
the first exposure of flies to the in
fected animal and the development OF
the disease in healthy animals, the
shortest period being seven days
which is shorter than that found By
Rosenau in his experiments. These
results, in confirmation of those an
