 Happy Mood
 It was surely a pollyanna morning. l said to myself when after my call at Mrs. Durkee's room went to see Leila and found her as radiantly cheerful as her mothor-in-law had been, although showing plainly the effects of the long. nervous strain she had undergone. She was still in bed. evidently obeying Dr, Braithwaite's orders for a two days rest cure, but she raised herself eagerly on one el- bow as came in.
 "Oh Madge :" she exclaimed. "l have been wanting to see you so much. Is the door closed? All right, We shan't be disturbed then, haven't a special nurse, you know, and I've already had my breakfast and my face washed for the day"
 Her voice bubhled into a merry laugh. and as kissed her saw shining in her eyes the happiness which had transformed her.
 'Sit down right beside me, where I can look at you" she commanded. clinging to my hands, and as l obeyed her, she compressed all her happy news into three words and flung them at me:

Five Others Cooperate With
Board Of Health In Safe
guarding Citizens

Four Jefferson county towns have
taken steps for modern sanitation,
Leeds, Brookside. Powhattan and

house with proper means of sewage
disposal, eliminating contact OF sew

also providing against the pollution

thorltles and is wagins the fight in
the field against typhoid and colitis.
Other towns of the county now in
the midst of the campaign are Rose
dale. Inglenook, Edgewood, Brighton
and Lipscomb. Outhouses are built
over deep pits, are equipped with
concrete floors and the contents of
the pits completely cut off from all
contact with animal life aboxe
ground. Il is necessary every few
years to move the small buildings.
a new pit being dug and the con-
crete slab and building moved over
it, while the old pit is filled with
earth. Several thousand sanitary out
houses have already been built and
summer.
Part Of the anti-typhoid fight is
being waged by the use of anti
typhoid inoculations. These are be-
ing generally applied in the schools
and for others. Pupils in 20 per cent
of the schools of the county have
been treated. Taking the treatment
is not compulsory and is without
cost, the state board of health bear
ing the expense.
In several schools, Mr.. Harden
bergh says. every pupil not inocu-
lated before has been treated, by
their own request. and of all of who
have started the treatment 80 per
cent have completed it. So far over
$500 children have been inoculated
and a similar number is expected to
be inoculated in the course OF the
next few months.
THE work done has been made
possible" said Mr. Hardenbergh Fri
day morning, through the co-opera-
ton of the teachers and the board OF

much-needed service.
Miss Ella Thomas. now in her
fourteenth year of service, and Mrs.
Anna Specr meet all trains and
boats in San Diego and never fail,
day or night, to respond to letters
or kilograms asking aid. Most of
these messages ask help for persons
arriving or passing through and are
from other Travellers Aid workers.
But frequently they are from per
sons wishing to find members of
their families or missing friends.
Various Groups
The people making use of the
Travellers Aid service are of vari-
Gus groups. Some want Jnly infor-
nation regarding car lines, street
lsmbers and places of special in
terest. Others needing more than
mere direction are placed on troll
levs, in taxis or told of lodging
places at the rate they wish to pay
minor services there, but greatly
appreciated by tired, confused trav-
elers unused to the city. Still others
need help in telephoning friends or
finding relatives and must some
times be actually taken to addresses
in order to make certain that there
is some one on whom they can de-
pend. Frequently there are persons
en- route to other places where word
must be sent on that they are all
right and on their way. Often there
are young girls coming alone to find
work, having no friends in the city
nor knowledge of positions they
might secure. They need to be
directed to !; place to live until
work is obtained.
Service at the station is entirely
free. The Travellers Aid workers
gratefully acknowledge the ready
cooperation of the social agencies
of the city in serving those who are
needy.
