Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS ET>HREJN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association anu of H,-
 gcia, the Health Magazine.

~'is' s''
 The battle with diptheria is q campaign of eternal vigilance. The medical profession has shown in it's laboratories that the infection of toxin anti-toXin will develop resist ance 10 the disease and that cases seen early and treated promptly with anti-toxin are likely to recover.
 Unfortunately, there are still thousa nds Of persons who neglect 10 provide their children with pro tective measures and who delay calling competent medical advice even when the disease appears.
 Imm,lnization Among 100
 In a period of ten years all Of the boys in Girard college were immuni2ed against the disease and in that time there was only ono case of diphtheria among 100 boys. and that occurred in q boy who had just entered and who had not been protected.
 The death rate for diphtheria is diminishing every year. falling from a rate of 50 per one hundred thousand people in 1890 to rates of 2 to 20 in 1926.
 New York city had i239 deaths and 14,0l4 cases of diphtheria in 1919 and the rate of that city has fallen so that there were S74 deaths in lo,4o7 cases in 1922, and A-- Jaatbc in r,2t coeac l., 1926. Bear in mind that New

that hramblc -tangle. He must have other bramble- tanglcs fitted up for his safety.
 You sec" said Peter, talking 10 hl.nSclt, "onc never knows when danger may be near. It comes most unexpectedly. So it is a wise rabbit who always has place of safety tios' by. | certainly shall have to i1A up some of in" old paths of Old Jed Thunlpcr. There was d time when he had them all over the Old Pasture, but l guess now that he is old he doesn't travel so much, Oh. dear! 1 don't like work. No sir. don't like work. I don't sec why Old Mother Nature couldn't have plan ned to have paths all made for rab- bits l really don't, Well, as long as she didn't, I'll have 10 make those paths myself.'
 So. day after day. Peter worked and the little paths grew longer and longer all through the brambl"- (anglcs.
New Britain herald., 1927-10-12

II Was Farmer Browns Boy who gave Peter Rabbit q chance to
 leave Old J"l Thumpcr's private bramble-t1nglo. Farmer Browns Boy came tramping along the old ro"path on his way to look for som" wild grapes. Reddy Fox, who
 had been watching Old Jed TIump- CT and Peter qualrring in th" hramblc-tdnglc, had planned to stay right iher" until one or the other of those silly rabbits would have to leave the bramblc-taugle. But when Farmer Browns Boy came along, O., course ECddy ran. He didn't want to be seen by Farmer Browns Bow. NO sooner had Farmer Browns Boy passed the hramblc-tangle than FOX run and lie knew that this wa. his chance. So he made the best of his opportunity and headed for an- other bramble-tangio that had onc,. been used but was used no longer by Old Jed Thumpcr. Young bram- hleS were growing up in the ver> middle of the paths Old Jed Thump- CT had once cut through there.
 Peter crawlcd in far enough 10 feel quito safe from Rcddy Fox. Then he set 10 work. Those long front feet of his were made for cut ting. Tho first thing Peter did Was to cut away place big enough for him to sit down comfortably. This would be his form. You know q form Is q place where a rabbit or hare is in the habit of sitting great deal of the time.
 T must hIN" these paths plenty big enough for me 10 get through without getting scratched" said Pet CT to himself. "l'll clear these old paths and then I'll make some open ing from every side of this brambIe- tansle so that l can get into il from any direction. This is q better tunslc than anything down in the Old Briar- patch. I am going to have a dandy place here. Mrs. Peter does not know what q mistake she's made"
 Now, Peter Rabbit doesn't like to work. Any kind of work is hard for Peter. Some folks are built that way. you know. If he could make himself think job was play. he would do it without any trouble. But as long as il is work Peter has Il hard time. So it was that he didn't make very rapid progress in the making of his paths through the bramhlc- -tangle He would work a short time; then he would rest a long time. But even working like this one can get d thing done in time. So it was with Peter. The time came " hen he had all these Httle' paths cut to suit him. Now if any enemy surprised him in any direction ail he need do would he to scamEer for this particular bramble- 1 tanElc and from whichever side he it he would find one of those httla baths opening into it.
 Peter sigl.cG thankfully when the l bra1ahle-taugle at last suited him. | But 1t wasn't long before he req lizca that that one branble- tangle | wasn't enough. He wouldn't be able | to stay all the time in or close to

conditions that cannot be
permitted to exist in what
are presumed to be civilized
societies.
Provision is found in all
large cities for breathing
space in the form of parks,
some few of which may be
located contiguous to the
more densely populated
areas, but as a rule these
parks do not meet the de-
mand for safety zones for
children in the vicinity of
their homes. When the park
is a. any considerable dis
lance from the tenement
district the matter of street
car fares is a serious item,
and in very many cases
there is no. older person to
take charge of the children
and get them safely to and
from the parks.
Much ado is being made
over the question of city
planning, with view to
correcting the defects due
to lack of foresight on the
part of those who laid out
what have become centers
of dense populations. Better
transit facilities restrictions
on high buildings, elimin-
alton Of certain kinds of
manufacturing industries;
public baths; abolition of
unwholsome tenements, are
among the desirable aims
that are being studied and
discussed. Of even greater
Importance is this question
