After a heavy meal, a dessert
lighter than pie or a very rich

satisfactory.
Heat a quart of milk in double

stir into it slowly four tablespoon
fuls of cornstarch that have been
made into a liquid paste with cold
milk. Cook until the mixture is
thick and smooth, add two table
spoonfuls of butter and three eggs
beaten light. Stir steadily and

cooked-this should require from
three to five minutes-take the

There were ego cases of smallpox
reported to the Texas State Health
Department in 1923, and there were
no deaths from smallpox. Even these
669 cases could have been prevented.
Smallpox is probably one of the old
est of all historic epidemic diseases.
1t has been estimated that from the
years 100 to 1900, the deaths from
smallpox all over the world, averaged
600,O00 every year. In the year 1881
London contained 916,7Si children
under ten years of age. OF these,
SCI 900 had been vaccinated and 3d.
600 had not Out of the $1,000 I'M
vaccinated 657 died from smallpox
that year, while only 12j of those
that had been vaccinated died. In
1923 there were OBJ cases of typhoid
reported to the state health Depart
ment of Texas, and of that number
30 died. All these cases could have
been prevented. DIR. William Osler
says that the best index to the sani-
tary intelligence of a community is
h., &c S-,<La,I
Typhoid Is Preventable.
"The Kentucky State Board of
Health believes that typhoid fever is
probably the most easily preventable
OF all diseases, not even excepting
smallpox. There were reported to
the State Health Department in 1923.
21.26S cases of malaria with 100
deaths. Think of the economic and
social loss from these easily prevented
diseases. Malaria is transmitted only
by mosquitoes, and the elimination
of breeding places of mosquitoes will
eliminate mosquitoes, and prevent the
spread of malaria, and in time will
Danish malaria from among mankind's
woes. Other diseases may also be,
banished by eliminating the causes.
"Now you will probably ask why
the health officers do not control and
even exterminate these diseases, if it
can be done. But this is your prob
lem as well as the problem of the
health officers. Scientific medicine
has given us the remedy for these
diseases, but it takes money and CO.
operation to get results. The State
Board of Health is willing but it
must have cooperation. Last year
the department of health asked the
legislature for about 100000 a year
for 1924 and 1925, and received about
S207 900 for both of the years togeth-
err. OF course the burden of these
activities is borne, and should be
borne, by counties and municipalities.
We get some help from the Interna-
tional Health Board, founded by
Rockefeller but these agencies should
not be depended upon alone. The .peo-
pie of Texas should take care of them
selves as much as possible. We want
next year, a reorganization and en-
largement of the State Board of
Health. increased appropriations and
a continued high standard for those
who practice medicine and come in
contact with diseases"

committee of women from Woodlawn
Place appealed to the mayor and COM
missioners to permit the San Antonio
Public Service Company to operate. a
bus line to that suburb. The commits
sion previously had held up this per-
nit, one of the reasons being that
the company planned to charge ten
cent fare. The woman's committee de-
clared they did not object to the ten.
