PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.
Noted Physician and Author

mlslnformed and led to believe vacci-
hation was unnecessary or even dan
gerous
Vaccination does not confer abso-
lutte Immunity, but only relative i'm
mun1ty. Indeed, there is no such
thing as absolute immunity against
any known disease. Even the goat
sometimes has tuberculosis, though
ordinarily endowed with a high de-
gree OF immunity against that com
mon talnt OF domestic cattle and civil
llzed man. There is no definite dura-
ton OF the immunity conferred by
vaccination, though probably vacci-
nation In infancy or early childhood
does give some immunity for a life
time, IL not sufficient to protect the
individual against overwhelming in
fection after the lapse of many years
Ordinarily one vaccination is suffi-
cient for life; but in the presence of
an epidemic the wise course for all
who have been vaccinated in infancy
or early childhood is to give it try
once more-if immunity is still active
the vaccination will not take" and
in any event no harm is done.
Only the unvaccinated need worry
about the risk of infection in time of
an epidemic of -ariola If vaccina-
tion were universal voluntary or
compulsory these outbreaks of vari-
ola wIuld not occur and an enormous
saving in lives and money would be
effHcted for the country.

My Neighbor Says:

Cook pork we'll. Failure TO
observe this important precau-
tion is likely to be followed by
serious illness, known as trich-
inosis.
Always remember to put
teaspoonfuI of salt into the
water in which you boil eggs.
This will prevent the shells
from cracking.
Newspapers make fine fuel if
prepared in the following way:
Spread newspapers, four or FIVE
sheets folded once, on table
with folded end toward you,
and commence to roll in a fairly
tight roll. Before completing
rolling the first section, insert
a. second section SO it will enter
the roll before the first section
is completely rolled and adding
papers until roll from two to
three inches in diameter is
made. Before finishing the last
section OF the roll fold back all
the sheets except the outside
one, SO that only one sheet re-
mains, which is TO be fastened
with paste or muCIla ge.
You now have Il solid roll of
paper about IS inches long,
which for convenience should
he cut in two or three pieces,
which may easily be done with
a common saw. Saturate each
piece with kerosene in tin
pail, inserting the rolls on end
and allowing them to remain a
few minutes. Then turn them
end for end, and after a few
minutes they will be completely
saturated with oil. Light two
or three rolls in a fireplace and
YOU will have the incest,
brightest fire possible for three
quarters of an hour to an hour
and half, depending upon the
size of the rolls.

of bobbed heads seem commonplace
and ordinary.
1t seems truly impossible for "a
woman rot to view the question of
bobbed VS.. long hair save through
the shadow of her own locks, shorn
or otherwise. And most men are
sworn definitely to one type of hair
or the other.
An important thing to consider is
that if a woman has long hair 1t is
no reason why she should go on
wearing it in a manner that pre-
vailed before the days of short hair.
In fact, there are all sorts of interest
ing ways to do long hair at this
very moment
Recently at the Exposition Fran
caise des Arts de la Couture some
interesting ways of arranging hair
that is growing out were shown.
Most of these ways might be adopted
with as good results by women who
have never been bobbed. Usually
however, the woman with very long
or very thick hair gets better results
if she permits her hairdreSser to thin
it out or cut some off. And this is
generally beneficial to the hair zone
method for the bob that has just
grown too long, and known as the
"costor fringe" is shown in the
sketch. To achieve this one must
brush the hair straight forward, per-
hitting curled ends to rest on the
forehead and over each ear. The
result is not especially attractive in
the back-but generally becoming
from the front.
With the aid of roll of false
hair, growing locks can be turned
into demure Botticelli coiffure The
roll of hair holds the short locks
in place and is tWi Sted over tho oars
where it is held in place by a small
comb at each side. A straig ght
bandeau of artificial hair is wrapped
tight around the head and a feather
comb stuck in the top. This is
one of the ways of caring for bobbed
hair growing long. The long-haired
woman might initiate this. using her
own locks instead of the bandeau for
the purpose. Another mode that sug-
geSts the late Empire period is to
brush growing hair out over the ears,
covering the back of the head with
group of close little false curls

Variations of Variola.

I call It variola not just to be pc
dantic and show how much 1 know.
but because variola is the right name
for it, And it isn't a new kind of
radio receiver. 1t is a properly dread
ed disease which too many people
insist on having, disease which kills
thousands each year, sadly mains or
marks other thousands who are
stricken but not killed, and with the
irony of fate picks out for attack
those members of the community who
are uniformed or misinformed.
The prevention of variola is a mat
ter Of personal volition. Each indi-
vidual must will for himself whether
he desires protection against variola.
The preventability of the disease va
ries directly with the intelligence of
the community.
Perhaps we should explain before
we go any further that the common
or vulgar name for variola is Small
pox." But this name is objection bl e
for several reasons. One reason is
that it connotes, in the mind of the
uninformed or misi Informed layman,
something foul or vicious. a miscon-
ception which is Thoroughly exploited
by those who seek to profis upon Gre
dulity.
Vaccination is the protection which
every individual may have Against
smallpox. Successful vaccirNation
means inoculation with vaccNaia,
which is a comparatively mild dNs-
ease, in all proba bility (nobody knows
definitely a form of variola which
has been modified by passing through
the calf. II we are to be consistent
we should call vaccinia "cowpox"-
but we don't, and neither should we
call variola smallpox" Vaccination
is inoculation with a very mild dis
ease which confers sufficient i'm
munity to protect against an attack
of the severe form Of the disease
Vaccination is virtually variolation,
but with the curse taken off by our
friend the COW.
Variola, / say. seems to select the
uniformed and the misinformed as
victims. Every outbreak, every cpl
demic of this disease starts among
the ignorant part of the population.
Either the subjects stricken with
vartola didn't know Of the Importance
of being vaccinated or they have been

HOW 1T STARTED
Chinaman's Queue.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

If the Germans had won the war
would they have made us wear pigtails
in order that they mightShave some
thing to yank us around by? And
would they have applied their efficiency
to a new system Of punishment, per-
haps, with a different number of yanks
for each offense against our conquering
masters?
The zeal with which patriotic China
men cultivated the queues that they con-
slider a. sort of national distinction, and
the fact that those Cinnamon in other
countries who discard them are forever
considered outcasts is, indeed. paradox
cal. For the pigtail is a sign of bondage.

Maple Mousse.
FRANCES F.. BURNS,
Great Commander, Ladies' of
MnccabpeS

Mrs Frances T. Burns had the adj
vantage of growing up on a farm
where she was devoted to activities
of d large and busy country estate
She rode horseback from the time
she was big enough to hang on to a
horse and got many thrills from
breaking in the colts. After finish
ing course of training as a kinder
gartner she married and made her
| home in Michigan After uniting
with the Ladies' of the Macca bees in
1892 she quickly rose to the position
Of great lieutenant and in 1896 was
elected to the position of great COM
mander, which she has since held.
This organization is q fraternal
beneficial order.
In addition to this important serv-
ice Mrs. Burns has filed many
other business positions of trust. su cf
as treasurer of the Women's Commit
tee Council of Defense of the Mich
igan Division throughout the war and
various others of similar Importance.
She is third vice president Of the
League Of Women Voters of Michi-
gan. and served as delegate at
large to the national convention in
San Francisco in 1920. She is an ar
dent Democrat. She has served as a
member of the National F'raternal
congress as vice president and as
president of the American Fraternal
Congress.
With all this business activity she
is a real home woman and house

Pork With Milk GRAVY.

Cut some salt or cured pork int
thin slices. If II is very salt, cover
it with hot water and allow it to
stand for 10 minutes. Score the
rind of the slices and fry slowly
until they are a golden brown. Make
a milk gravy by heating flour in the
fat that has been tried out, allowing
two tablespoonfuls of fat and two
tabIespoonfuls of -four to each cupful
of milk. This is a good way to use
skim milk, which is as rich in.
protein as whole milk. The pork
and milk gravy served with boiled
or baked potatoes makes an mex
pensive meal, but one that most
people like very much. Bacon Is
often used in place of salt pork in
making this dish.
