and has made it financially possible
for any community to obtain pure wa
ter for its inhabitants.
About 80 per cent of all diseases
due to insanitary food comes from
infected milk and its products. All
milk sold in the community should
be handled under the careful super
vision Of trained health officer, and
probably, the only safe milk is pas
tcurizcd milk.
Ice cream factories must be re-
quircd to use pasteurizcd milk and
cream, and these plants should be
under the constant supervision of
the health officer, for. in times past.
many epidemics Of typhoid fever.
scarlet fever and diphtheria have
been traced to this source and tubcr-
culosis may be conveyed by unpas.
teurized milk or cream.
Control of communicable disease is
a most important part in the scheme
Of health. School children must be
examined not only as to their physi-
cal condition at the beginning of each
school term, but each day the school
nurse must be on duty to detect the
first appearance of contagious dis
eases.
All children should be vaccinated
before reaching school age-or at
any age, if smallpox is present in
the community. They should be re-
vaccnatcd between the ages of 10
and 20 years. Adults should be
again vaccinatcd between 80 and as
years of age or at any time that
smallpox is present.
Children should also be in1munized
against diphthcria before entering
school or at any time thereafter il
already in school if not found to be
naturally immune to this disease.
These two procedures, vaccination
against smallpox and immunzation
against diphtheria will, if performed
properly, practically eliminate these
two great plaques and lower the
death rate in any community that
practices them.

ADVENTURES
Of the TWINS
Nv OLIVE ROBERTS RARToii

That night when the Twins were
Struggled up coziIy in their little
white beds, there was n Tapping
sound outSid" their window.
1t was 4 bright moonlight night
and some snow had fallen. 50 that
everything outside showed as plain
as day.
When Nick heard the fIappin-, he
sat up in bed and looked toward the
open window, and to his amaZemcnt,
he saw two great darl. objects light
upon the sill.
Nancy! Nancy" he called excited
ly. Are you asleep? Wake up"
"No,' cried Nancy throwing off
the covers. What is it? What's
wrong?"
But before Nick had time to an
swer, the two objects flew right down
into the room. and as the mOonbcams
struck the floor at the exact spot
where they landed, there was no
mistaking what they were.
They were two fat blue geese, and
astridc their backs. with Il leg on
each was an elf dressed in red
suit.
He drove the geese with rrins Of
Alright tinsel, and for whip he held
a small holly branch.
"Whoa. GAM, Behave yourself.
Oic!' commanded the cute little man
in red. STAND still there and stop
your hissing,' and then turning to
the children as though he had known
them for years n years, he remarked
with laugh 81 call them CAM and
Ole. because they fight all the time.
CAM is German for goose and Ole
is French for goose, and there you
are"
SO saving he threw down the tin
sci rens, stuck the holly switch into
his belt and bounded up onto the foot
Of Nick's bed where he sat waiting
with his knees crossed as much as to
say, ut is time for you to sa. some
thing now
"Why--what- who? ?" began Nan
cy, when suddenly the little elf began
to laugh and shake and heave his
shoulders as though he was nightly
tickled about something.
you needn't be" he said merrily,
"You needn't be at all. Pm not go
ing to- eat YOU
needn't be WHAT Nick wanted
tp know. Needn't be what"
"Afraid of me-" laughed the elf.
afraid Of you" cried the Twins
in establishment. "Why. we never
were afraid Of ANYTHING in our lives.
Never! And we like you. Only we
are surprised, that's all"
"Thats not to be wondered at"
said the elf. "Blue geese and red
elves don't grow on banana trees,
III admit. Well, now that the ice is
broken, I'll tell you all about every
thing. Blue geese live further north
than almost any other kind. Didn't
YOU ever hear Of the Land of the
Blue Goose" 1t is right next door
