INTERESTING PARALYSIS DEDUC-
TONS.

The quarterly bulletin Of the Ver-
mont state board of health, dated June
l, contains an extended report of
epidemic poliomyelitis, or infantile
paralysis in Vermont. Since Barton
was one of the centers of the disease
in 1914 there is much of interest in the
bulletin. 1t contains charts. maps,
tables. diagrams and comparisons that
are interesting. The state board gives
local health officer, M. F. Prime,
special acknowledgement for his assis-
tance and interest in the matter.
The report on this topic covers DO
pages but the Monitor takes pleasure
in quoting that part which particularly
refers to Barton as follows:
''The epidemic of 1914 started in the
village of Barton and this village
suffered more severely in most ways
than any other in the state. The town
of Barton is made up of several small
villages and the usual fa1 ming districts
about these. Two of the villages.
Orleans and Barton, are incorporated
and on the railroad. Of the 81 cases
that are reported from this township,
% occurred in Barton village; 8 in the
village of Orleans and the other II in
the farming districts of the town.
"Barton village is small manufac-
turing community of 1880 inhabitants
Q910). It is situated on Crystal lake.
whence the Barton river runs through
the village. The village has a good
water supply from mountain pond
and a fairly good sewerage system.
Crystal lake is body of water three
miles long and about half mile wide.
'"The principal industries of the
town are woodworking shops, a foun-
dry, three granite sheds, two grist
mills and garment factory.
"As has been noted, the first case in
the state this year occurred near the
railroad station in this village and
rather near to the granite sheds and
grist mills. In previous reports of
this board, the possible connection
between this disease and stone-cutting
industries has been noted, from 1.-THE
severe outbreaks that have occurred in

AN OLD FASHIONED DINNER
A Story by Ethel Taurog

The old kitchen clock struck the
hour Of seven. Beatrice Hirshnan
rushed into the kitchen, her black lawn
dress over the black sateen princess
slip only partly buttoned.
Hurry UP, Ma and button me up
I've been late twice this week, and |
don't want to come late again You
don't mean to say that you have PAN
cakes again for breakfast" Beatrice
shifted the air.
'What's the matter, Bee? Do you
want Ma to get up a regular hotel
breakfast, beginning with half a grape
fruit with a cherry in the middle?'
asked Robert wipirg his wet face and
hands on red bordered towel.
''How many times did | tell you it
isn't polite to come in kitchen to
wipe yourself or comb your hair. Ma,
should think you'd teach him little
manners. He's growing up like
tramp"
Don't quarrel children" Mrs.
l1irshman interrupted as she sensed
a tempestuous reply from Robert, who
seemed to be seeking about for suit
able remark. "Have you decided
whom you're going to invite for sup-
per, Bee?'
Beatrice buttered her bread slowly
I'm going to invite Miss Hauser. our
cashier, Mr.. Levine, he's that sales
man who gave me the tickets for that
show, and Mr. Ripensky, the new
bookkeeper. You've got to make a
real fancy dinner, Ma, because Mr..
Ripensky comes into the most aristo-
cratic houses The boss has had him
over to his house for dinner
"Ill make nice dinner" Mrs.
Hirschman replied smiling. Back in
the old country we used to have ccn-
pany for meals often, your fathers
relatives, they were very rich people,
and they always praised my cooking.
One day | wasn't feeling well, and
didn't have much for dinner to eat.
and in comes our father with two men,
business friends, and he couldn't let
me know because we didn't have tele-
phones that time, and I....."
Beatrice interrupted her mothers

DO you expect to hire caterer"
asked Robert sarcastically.
Its none of your business" re-
piled his sister tartly.
Mrs. Hirshman looked at the book
in dismav. I've never heard Of all
those things before. | wouldn't know
where to begin and where to end off, -
Its perfectly easy said Beatrice
sharply. You just follow directions.
See, it says tested recipes. That
means everything in here was cooked
by the writer of the BOOK She put
on her hat, pulled it down over her
right eye to the fasl1ion-approved
angle. I'll invite them today, better
order the things from the grocer she
admonished.
'Shes got her nerve" said Robert,
as the door closed.
"You'd better go and do your stud y
ing quick. You won't have much
time, if you don't want to be late for
school,
After the children had gone, Mrs.
Hirslman sat down to her breakfast
of l11kewarm coffee and cold pancakes,
while glancing over the index of the
cook book. Then with a sigh she
placed the book on a shelf, and began
to clear off the table. The house was
soon put in order. Then she sat down
and read the recipes which Beatrice
had marked. noting down the supplies
needed at the grocery store.
When Beatrice came home in the
evening, she cheerfully announced
that one and all had accepted the in
vitation and they would come with
her from the office tomorrow even

Everything is in the ice box" said
Mrs. Hirshman plaintively Don't

stew with all them red peppers::'

fashioned goddess % said Beatrice
quickly. eff it wasn't for that Mr.

used to such fine things, and he's such

THANKSGIVING.

Again comes that day when men for
sake as much as possible the work of the
field and the barnyar,d and close the
market place in order to offer thanks to,
the blessings they have enjoyed durinq
'he year.
The innccert, the light of heart, the
youthful, and those who know c,ly lux
ury, do rot recognize the day. Neces-
sity, stern care and responsibility are not
known to them. They have not entered
into the valley of shadows.
Progress and growth bring in their
wake both sorrow and joy. Strife for
living involves Misunderstanding, suspic-
ion and unrewarded labor where the
brain works without the heart, where
"for myself" is stronger incentive
than is "for all of u.s."
In the year 1916 we should give thanks
for what? Our wealth? Our peace?
Our crops9 That our fields are not
stained with blood? We dare believe
that, with all these, there can yet be no
proper cause for Thanksgiving! "Fcr
what IL Z man profited if he shall eai,
the whole world and lose his own soul?"
That il the question!
Only those individuals who have 90
lived that their living has not burned
their souls by the fires kindled by lust
for gold and glory or conquest can offer
real thanks. That time and events have
saved the body from starvation and in
Jury Is cause to give thanks. But the
supreme thanks come from that being
