Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS EISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and dR Hy-
 ccia, the Health Magazine

Practically every school in the United States that is conducted along scientific lines requires today that the child bring with him on the first day a school certificate that he has had recent and satisfactory vaccin- alton against smallpox.
 Two hundred years ago the per- son without the scars of smallpox on his face was a rare one in the community: today the person with such scars is a liI .ng testimonial Of his own ignorance or of that of his parents.
 Safe Procedure Vaccination against smallpox is as safe a procedure as is known to med icine. Complications are rare when vaccination is properly performed, and protection Is so certain that neg lect of this scientific procedure rep resents the height of foolhardiness. | The other form of preventive in | oculation which must he especially considered in relationship to the child's first attendance at school fs | toxin -antitoNin immunization against 1 diphtheria.
 Practically all physicians are agreed that this method does in crease the immunity Of the child against the disease, that the method is quite safe, and that the ravage: of diphtchIia are so serious that tht method should not be neglected.
 In New York City more than z
 million children have been inoculat

 Paris. Sept. 21-rhis is the second winter collection in which l have shown street dresses and ensembles completed by a muff. Considered as | rather obsolete accessory. its re- turn came very much as . surprise to women. It is quite probable they would never have accepted its rein statement in their wardrobes had it been presented in its old-time form htch, as everyone remembers, was always in the shape of a more or less large bolster or roll. Thus wer" all self-respecting muffs IS years ago!
 Tho muffs you vii see in my present collection are direct com- plements of the ensemble with which they are meant to be worn. They are, in fact. an indispensable element of the dress or ensemble with which the are shown and could not possibly be worn with any other dress. They do not con- stitute trimming in themselves but go with either collar and cuf1s or neckpiece and so follow the general lines of the, model.
 Modern Nuns arc Different The modern muff differs from it's prototype in that 1t is composed Tn part of the dress fabric aud fur ombined. As muffs are relatively new departure. the modern editions 70 far have been made up solely or such furs as may be termed fluffy, like foxes or flat pelts like broadtall' caracul or beaver.
 In a beige ensemble the conple- mentary mun will more often than not be made of beaver. as it IS both pliable and colorful. As a general rule, colorless pets are more or less taboo as they seem to accentuate the dismal character Of winter weather in dress. With dark green. l bordeaux or black-more usually employed for winter clothes-fox will be found a most satisfactory fur, whether 1t be the pointed silver of black variety. It has qualities or sottness and lightncss which relieve any ense mble, however somber U may be. .....
 A muff nowadays is neceasar- ily an afternoon accessory. It also represents another element Of the feminine quality that is now gov crning all but practical clothes. A huff had come to be regarded us completely out-of-date, and l quite realized then how i'll it would nave suited the cropped maiden of not so many seasons ago. Now that women have discarded for good and all the mannerish modes they cluug To TOT so long, many of them will find tha' this added feminine touch euits them to perfection.
 There are also as many dineren' ways of carrying the huff as there are ot lraping wrap around the figure. Worn on either arm 1t does .-. ..n,,y the slightest sense o' utility, but rather that Of an addi' tional trimming. which today nap pens to be about its only "raisor d'etre.'

Harry Underwood looked down al me quizzically when l asked him to get . look, if possible. at the letter which I was sure Mary meant to post at Riverhead.
 That's a large order. Little One. he said. If you wanted me to frisk s burglar now, or trail counter feiter, I might be able to tackle the job with some promise of success But to lamp note that a girl wants to keep secret.-Tll do my best, but don't bank on me"
 That he was really pessimistic, saw, and the knowledge only in- creased my determination to look at the ink stained blotter Mary had replaced with new one. But, with speeding the departing motorists and listening to dissertation from Mother Graham on the dishonesty Of modern business as instanced by the supposedly faulty spring of the new motor car, it was fully ten minutes after Mary's departure that l went into her room.
 The new blotter withnot a trace of ink upon its freshness, was fitted into her desk pad. She must have written her letter before she spilled the ink. I turned to the waste-bas- ket and saw as I expected the crumpled pieces of the old blotter together with neatly clipped strips from the new one which she had cut to fit her pad.
 stood irresolute for few seconds trying to estimate the time l had spent in Marion's room during which Mary had said she was writing a letter. Surely Mary had had time to write but the briefest of notes in the interval between her going to her uoom and her coming to me with the request for the new blotter. But she would not need & long letter to this mysterious Janet Rawdon" to whom she was checking most of he1 allowance each week. The prelimi- naries attending such a transaction no doubt had been attended to long before. and Mary probably was only addressing an envelope with check enclosed-if my suspicious were cor, rect.

BOBBY COON MEETS CUBBY
 BEAR By Thornton w. Burgess.

Suspect the gift too freely offered; Find first the reason it is proffered.
 -Cubby ear.
 Bobby Coon had gone over 10 the laughing Brook. Bobby is very fond Of the Laughing Brook. He loves to play in the water. He loves to catch tish and he likes to eat them as well ;us he likes 10 catch them. He is never happier than when he is proving along the bank Of the Laughing Brook.
 Now Bobby Coon is happy-go- lucky fellow. By the time he reach ed the Laughing Brook he had for gotten all about Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, whom he had vainly tried to gA out of the hollow log. He wash ed his hands. combed his hair and then decided he would zee if he could catch few m,nnows in cer- tain little pool. He knew all about that little pool. He knew that the minnows dearly loved to play about in 1t where it was very shallow. If one were quick enough g milhow could be scooped out of that little pool. Bobby had favvorite spot from which he tished. He stole to this very softly. The moonlight lay on. the little pool, but Bobby was :n the blackest ef Black Shadows. Bob by had been there only little while when a school of minnows began to play about. They would come to the surface and make little rings in the water. Bobby's eyes sparkled. Fish would be better than Wood Mouse. Just as Bobby was about toitry for one of those mfnnows he heard the shuffling of feet and out on; the bank stepped Cubby Bear. In the moonlight ne looked like a living Black Shadow. When he stepped out that way all the mlE- nows disappeared in a hurry. Bob by Coon was provoked. He wasn't afraid Of Cubby Bear. He wouldn't want to get in a fight with Cubby. but Cubby was not yet big enough . for Bobby to respect him. as he did great big Buster Bear. Bobby step ped out of his hiding place.
 What do you mean by spelling my fishing?" he demanded angrll2 Cubby Bear merely grinned. Why didn't you tell me you were fish ing?" said he. How do you sup pose that knew you were fishing Did you get any fisho''
 "No,'' replied Bobby shortly. 'I would have if you hadn't conc along and frightened them all away. What right have you to se proving around and mcddling witt other peoples business
 Cubbv was feeling good nature] He usually is good natured, Mex time" said he, you let me knoN when you're fishing and I'll kecI away like fish myself. Fish arr very nice eating. l would rathc' h1,e some nice tender Mice, bn fish will do very well.'
 A the mention of Mice Bobt. Coon suddenly remembered Whit" foot the Wood Mouse. 4 plah sud denly popped into his head. "Woul' you really like Mouse if you coul' get it?" said he.
 Cubby's eyes sparlsled. "Wou'' 1r" he explained 'I should say would?" Cubby licked his lips.
 "If I show you where there t on, will you keep away from th' Laughing Brook until I am througi fishing?" Bobby asked.
 Cubby Bear looked at Bobby little suspiciously. eff you kno" where there is one why don't yc' get one yourself?' he demanded.
 "T can't" replied Bobhb prompt ly. He's Tn hollow log that can't tear open. but think yc, can"
 Just show me that log" exclaim ed Cubby. Just show me tha iog."
