THE CHRISTMAS TABLE
BY LORETTO c. LYNCH

it is a company dinner you plan,
the table may be set the evening
before and covered to protect 1t
from dust.
In order to prevent undue excite
ment, the Christmas dinner should
be planned well In advance. Every
item, even to rolls and butter and
salt and pepper should be careful
ly written down. From this list
one should market. An Inventory
Of the available silver, linen and
dishes should be carefully made.
The glasses should be counted and
polished.
The Christmas feast may be very
pleasurable or 1t may find the
housewife at her nerves ends. 1t
all depends, Of course, just how
carefully 1t is planned and just
how efficiently the plan is carried
out.

These may seem like trivial signs
and the usual home remedies may
be brought to bear in mind that
such symptoms may indicate the
beginning Of an infectious disease.
It is well to regard every case or

or a cough, or some digestive dis
turbance. Family remedies should
not be too long relied upon in such
instances.
whooping cough is one OF the
most serious problems with which
public health authorities have to
deal, since convalescent children are
no often allowed to ride about in
public conveyances and to go to the
movies.
The dangerous prevalence OF this
disease is largely due to this In

healthy children, which 1t is i'm
practicable for the health depart

compelled to rely largely upon the
cooperation of the public in their
