Meningitis


 The brain and the spinal cord are enCased by the skull and the spinal column. They do not however, rest directly on the bony structures but are supported and surrounded by three membranes and by a cushion Of fluid.
 The membranes are called the meninges and the fluid is called cerebro spinal fluid.
 The central portion Of the ner- vous system. as the brain and the spinal cord are called in distinction to the rest of the nervous system distributed throughout the body, is therefore well protected.
 This chapter in human anatomy makes an interesting study. Ma ture has created ingenious means for protecting the brain and the spinal cord against external injury, Despite this protection, however, the brain and the spinal cord are not free from disease, nor do the coverings Of the meningcs con- plotcly escape, Among other kinds of injuries they are subject to q variety of inflammations, most of them due to organisms or germs.
 Meningitis means an inflamma- ton of the coverings Of the brain or spinal cord. In cerebral meningitis the coverings Of the ccrebrum of tho brain arc involved.
 In cerebro-spinal meningitis the coverings ol both the cord anu tbs brain are inflamcG.
 Inflammation in any tissue is the body's reaction to an insult or as- sault. This may he due to any of q multitude of forces. Meningitis may be caused by the pneumonia germ, tho germ Of influenza. of typhoid fever and even by the colon bacillus.
 Meningitis, or the inflammation Of the covrrings of the brain may further result from an extension Of q diseased condition involving the sinus of the head, the nose or the throat. or ag4ln it may be a compi- cation in some cXfensfve infectious disease involving the body as a whole. such, Tor example, as tubcr- culosis.
 Non-bacterial meningitis also may be caused by direct injury such as fracture of the skull or as the result Of a severe blow.

 "Didnt you run" demanded Sunny in antazement.
 If l had run I wouldn't be here" replied Jumper drily. The safest thing TOT me 10 do vas to sit perfectly still, which I did, I could just feel Hooty looking right through me. That is what he did, yet didn't see me. l. seemed as if I must run, but had sense enough not 70. So he flew away and I'm still bere.'

 "Why you wasn't when Hooty the owl came over here. You've just said that all you had to do vas to sit perfectly stilI,' replied Stumpy.
 True, that is all had to do, but don't think that vas easy" replied Jumper. T never vas more scared in all my life l wished that I could jump into the water the way you did and thus be safe
 "But." protested StumpN when all the world is white like this l can be seen tor long distance. It isn't safe for me to move more than a jump or two from open water. You-whN you can go where you please and disappear just by sitting still. I wish l had white coat"
 Jumper slowly shook his head. No you don't. You only think you do,' said he. You are filled with envy and I know of nothing more foolish than envy. You are young and you have much to learn about the Great World"
 Just the same l wish ] had " White coat" persisted Stumpy.

 Very foolish was the way Stumpy. the three-leggad young Mushrat, felt as he climbed back on his fayor.te tussock beside the open water Of the Laughing Brook.

Christmas shopping
y Alice Judson Peale

These are the days when depart ment store elevators are packed with children being taken to stores 10 see Christmas toys.
 The children arc overwhelmed with the desire to get many more toys than they ever would be able to enjoy. Temporarily. at least, they are completely given over to a feel ing Of greed.
 Because Of considerations Of health (which in themselves should make the thoughtful mother hesi- tate 10 take her child to such d placc) and because of nervous strain and probable fatigue which the excursion involves, visits to the stores are neither a wholesome nor happy experience for children.
 The net result of causing children 10 desire intensely what they can not have is 10 make the gifts of Christmas morning come as an anti climax
 f such a shopping expedition is justified as means of helping q mother to learn what the children want for Christmas, it can only be said that the Iesult is almost certain to hc disappointing.
 The pl1yth,ugs from which chil- dron will get the most enduring pleasure are not always those which attract their eve in stores. Compli- cated and usually expensive play uinEs. which will prove uninterest- ing after the first half hour Of own- orship arc the ones that appeal most on first sight.
 Summing all things up, there is little to be said in favor of taking children Christmas shopping. It IS bad for their health and for their nerves. It Cultivatcs undesirable clements in the child's nature. And
