your community from having small pox?
 How do you ge this non-dangerous cowpox?
 You the given cowpox when you the successfully vaccinated. For the vaccine which is used, is taken from healthy calves that have been arti- ficially given cowpox. This is done under strict sanitary conditions and government supervision. Before Jenner, in 179s, gave to the world his experiment showing that cowpox would protect against small pox, this belief had long been held | by the farmers of England. It was | their experience-and remember. this was during times when smallpox was | as common as measleS-that those who had contracted cowpox from 1 milking cows which had that disor- | der, did not contract smallpox. l Before Jenner introduced vaccina-
 ton from the artificial giving of cow | pox, the acknowledged method of preventing the disease was from in- l oculation with smallpox itself. | Inoculation, therefore. differs from | vaccination in that the material for 1 inoculation is taken from the real smallpox and gives real smallpox, and while the disease is usually mild, it is | true smallpox and is just as contag- i louS dS ehSs HSal di'o soihStlIneS was fatal.
 Inoculation is not prahticed now. Rem ember the dierence. Records | show that it was practiced by the Chinese from their earliest history
 and the only reason it has fallen into disuse is because we have vaccination. l I am going to tell you more next 1 week about how vaccine is made and give you some date to show why we believe it protects.

GORGEOUS COLORING OF PEACOCK DUE ID
 REFLECTED LIGHTS

Pittsburgh. Pa, Sept. GA film of oil drcFped on the pavement By an er- rant automobile contains the same color values as the highly decorative tail feathers of the peacock, said Dr. Wilder D. Bancroft, Of Cornell Uni ing of the American Chemical Society today.
 Everybody has noticed the bril- liantly colored patches on the pave mentS where automo obiles have spilled oil,'' said Dr. Bancroft. ''The co,ors range from red to gold to blue, and are very vivid CT metallic. They sees them, and they are not due to pigments, since we have a thin film of nearly colorless oil. Thes0 coIors are due to the interference of light reflected from the upper and lower surfaces of the film and they depend on the thickness of the film, which averages about one fifty-thousandth h when OH is spilled on an asphalt pavement than when on a dirt road because there is less disturbing light ref ected from the black back ground.
 'sThe b~i1liant coIors of the tail feathers of the peacock and the ap- pa.rently self -lumin ous reds in the throat feathers of the huanming bird are not due to pigments. When one one sees only a brown due to the so- called melanin judgment which is equivalent to the asphalt pavement. In all the irideseent feathers the bar buIes are dattened pilates of brown which therefore give the colors of thin films. The structure is so marked that an expert can pick out

VACCINATION (Continued.)

Did you ever see a case of small pox? It is a terribly lothsome dt sease. isn't it? Not only is the pa tient acutely ill but the skin all over theb ody is a mass of repulsive erup- tions, If the patient recovers he may be dishgured for life or left blind or have some other serious consequence.
 It is hard tC realize that smallpox used to be much more common than measles and that for centuries it was one of the greatest scourages. The history of it shows that it depopulated whole cities and even exterminated small nations. It was no respector of persons. Kings and queens died as readily as the lowly born.
 It is claimed by the anti-Daccina- tionists that our improved sanitation has caused to cease being a scourge. It is held by physicians and public health experts and health officials that smallpox ceased to be a scourge when Jenner introduced vaccination more than 100 years ago. md that it is only by vaccination that we can keep it from becoming scourge again. Sanitation and isolation are secondary.
 While isolation and methods of sanitation should be carried out with strictness, because smallpox is one Of the most contagious or commun1- cable diseases. the nly real proven | tion of the disease is vaccination Even under the most hygienic sur roundings there seems to be no nat | ural immunity against smallpox. It is l such contagious disease that nc l matter what the state of the individ- | uaIs health, if he is exposed tosmall- | pox he is liable to contract the d. 1 sease-unless he has had sma11po1 or cowpox. If he has had smallpoz 1 or cowpox, then Nature has manu1ac' l turea a defence for smallpox in his body during the time that he had the disease. This defence is usually 1 permanent one.

CHAPTER VI. Janet Decides,

Promptly at D. m. taxicab drew up in front of the QueensdaIe Apartment house and a good looking young man, attired in correct evening dress, alighted therefrom and entered the building.
 His face wore a confident smile as he stepped into the elevator, but it appointment and anger when pre- sently he stood at the door of Mrs. Allan Fremont's apartment.
 Janet had responded promptly to his ring, but she was attired in the same shirt waist and skirt she had worn when he had last seen her, and her face was haggard and pale. It was evident at a glance that she made no attempt to prepare herself for the role he expected he to play.
 -"So you'e not fixed up yeti" Ray mond exclaimed savagely, as he fol- lowed he into the apartment. T told you not to keep me waiting." He looked at her sharply.
 Better hurry up and get you glad rags on. There's still time. And TOT the love of Pete fix your hair differ ent, and see that your face has soma color in it-or on it. The way you look now you couldn't vamp cross- eyed farmer. Shall I call Kitty up to help you? She's waiting down stairs in the cab."
 Janet shook her head.
 "Pm not going, she said almost un- der her breath.
 EfYou're not. eh!" her visitor snarl- ed. "So that's the decision you've come to, is it? All right. then; 1f I've come to the conclusion that no matter what - what happens couldn't stoop to such a contemptib1s thing as that"
 "You prefer to go to jaiI-to be branded as a notorious woman"
 Mrs. Fremont moaned.
 ''I am hoping that you won't carry out your threat,' she pleaded. "You can't really be so-so inhuman. What good will it do you to ruin my life ?"
 Never mind what good it will do me-" Velvet Raymond sneered. At last I'll have the satisfaction of nak- ing you understand that I'm man of my word" He laughed ironically: ''So you thought I was bIufnng, did you. I'll show you. Where's your tell ephone %

the iridescent feathers in the dark by the feel.
 Tt is possible to duplicate the col or effects of the peacock and the humming bird by putting a very thing coat of varnisi1 over any dark feath- CT; but we cannot regulate the thick ness with such accuracy as to produce the patterns of the peacock. When one considers that variations in thickness of a hundred thousandth of an inch may change the color com 1etely, it seems marvellous that all tho tail featrers of all the peacocks can be so nearly alike.
 ''The neck feathers of the white pigeon show practically no irrides- cence because the dark background is lacking. If they are dyed brown. the iridescence appears in full force. On the other hand the white peacock is not an albino in the sense of merely having no dark pigment. The whole structure of the feathers has changed. The barbules are not fiat plates and consequently no brilliant colors can be developed by dyeing the feather brown or painting the back with In dia ink.''

Polly P.:-The white spots on nails are a result of poor circulation. A bleach for them is made by mixing equal parts of pitch and myrrh. To remove this mixture from the nails later, use any kind of oil or plain lard.
 HopefuI:- A fine grained skin is the result of so many things it is diff f1cult to advise any one, in so small space, on how to attain it.-The di- gestion must be good. There must be free elimination. The skin must receive proper care. A daily bath cleansing of the pores of the face with creams, after which the pores should be closed and the skin kept firm-these are all healthful meas ureS.
 Mary:-You can lose ten pounds without making many sacrifices in your diet. The reason you did not succeed before was because you did not know what foods were fattening Try whole wheat bread instead of that made from white flour, and if your weight is not changed, eliminate

 Mrs. R. A.:-There is nothing to do when the hair has been bleached but to wait for Nature to restore the col or. The only comfort I can offer your friend is to tell her that she has passed through the worst period and, from now in, her hair will look more natural each week. The only other thing to do is to dye it to the natural shade. But that is not advisable.
 Irene:-A curling fluid is made by dissolving gum tragacanth with hot water, so it will be the consistency of a thin mucilage. Dampen hair with this before you form it into the waves Tine hair should be bound so it will dry without disturbing the curls or waves, after which it can be combed out and shaken to throw off the dried particles from the glue. Hair done this way will often stay curIed for several days.
