VACCINATION
TIME

DY the time a child is 2 or 21s
~ years old he should have
been vaccinated against smallpox,
advises Hygeia, the health maya
zine published by the American
Medical Association. This takes
only from one to two weeks for
complete recovery and following
it the child should be given the
anti-toxin incubation against
diphtheria. These are the two
diseases most dangerous to chill
dren and incubation against them
has been perfected.
A few years later. especially
IL there is any epidemic of typhoid
fever in the vicinity. it would be
well to have the child .inoculated
against this disease also.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
Try to Explain
NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

my ~ GApadm
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I am 10 and am very
much in love with young man
five years my senior. He has
confessed his love for me.
One evening when another
young man was calling on me,
he also told me he loved me and
although I resisted, he kissed
me. Just then, the first young
man. whom I love. entered the
room. Since then he has avoided
me and has not given me
chance to expain. Please tell
me how / can win him back.
JULIET.
LIE is a little unreasonable, not
IA to give you a chance to ex-
plain. Do you really value his
friendship very much, Juliet? In
that case, write him a friendly
note. Tell him you have an urgent
message for him and ask him
whether he will not please call on
a certain evening to receive the
message.
If he refuses to come, you will
have to let matters rest as they
are, won't you? But if he calls,
explain very simply and sweetly
what happened and that you re-
sisted the young mans kiss and
are not in the habit of permitting
every acquaintance to kiss you.
This may restore the friendship
between you two-I hope so!
