PLEA MADE TO
ASSIST SALE OF
CHRISTMASSEALS

While the Christmas spirit pre-
walls in the hearts of FL Centrans
where gifts and Yuletide celcbra-
tions are concerned, the plea of the
county's underprivileged children
is going unheard, if indications of
the sale of Christmas seals are any
criterion. Reports from the local
out of so envelopes sent to FL Cen
trans, SO were returned with the
stamps. While this would have n
disheartening effect on many or
CARNATIONS, members of the local
committee are not discouraged, for
they feel that FL Centre will not fail
the children this year as was the
ease last year.
During 1927 returns from the sale
We're so poor that insufficient funds
We're raised to maintain the Health
Camp at llipass and service clubs
and women's organizations in the
county We're solicited by the lmpc-
rial County tuberculosis committee
for money to hold the camp.
This year each town is conducting
its own sale, with a chairman iT'
charge Of the work. 1t is the aim
of tn" committee in adopting this
method to be able to tell which
part of the county is falling down
ON its share of the work. Numbers
have been placed on the small re-
turn envelopes which will enable
the committee to have a check on
those returning the stamps. This is
done so that these persons will not
receive stamps next year, in order

Citizens are warned by the com

You, Of course, AZ an intelligent
person, have had yourself
vaccinated. If you have over
looked tllfs essential protection to
your health it has doubtless been
because in the general condition
of safety established by vaccina-
ton, you have thought IL unneces-
sary, or, you may have thought It

listening to persistent misrepre-
sentation, you may have thought
1t dangerous. In view OF these,
possibilities 1t Is important for you
to know something about this
health.protecting measure against
one Of the most loathsome diseases
that afflicts the human race.
Smallpox Is the disease most
completely preventable by public
health measures.
Vaccination by modern methods,
as explained by Surgeon J. IF.
Leake Omitted States Public Health
Service Reports), Is painless, rapid
and needs no dressing. Many
physicians now use a sharp needle
with which they press the skin
through a drop OF vaccine about
80 times in very rapid succession,
using the side Of the point only
and not driving it into the skin.
This is not only more comfortable
than scratching, but more eff
cient. for the deeper layers of the
skin are a more favorable site for
the multiplication of the protective
organisms than the flesh below 1t.
The shoulder is a better place
for vaccination than the leg, az
the leg is more exposed to moisture
and contamination. Moreover.
since the blood is apt to be slug
gish, the scar Is apt to heal more
slowly,
Every vaccination should give a
reaction, If 1t does not. the vac
cine is deficient. Al failure TO
take, does not necessarily show
protection, for some skins are less
receptive than others. In a per-
son who is liable to smallpox, the
red zone, which, from the third
to seventh day is rather narrow,
spreads suddenly and reaches its
maximum between the eighth and

disappears.
In a person who is immune, the
broadcast redness is passed IN
eight hours, to three days; the
prompter the maximum the higher
the immunity. The degree OF Inn
nnunity is shown not by the
amount of reaction, but by the
time within which the redness
begins to subside. The amount
depends on the individual skin.
Every child should be vaccin.
