Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

by Dr. Logan Clen0en1ng
The school age is pre-emi-
nently the age of the contagi-
Gus diseases. The authorities
keep these within bounds as
much as possible, by quaran-
timing scholars who become i'll,
and occasionally by closing the
entire school.
The most effective way to
avoid the dangers of contagi-
Gus diseases is by preventive
incubation, or vaccination.
There are only three diseases
which we can safely and GER
tainly prevent in this way
smallpox, typhoid fever and
diphtheria.
Longs For Other IcnOculatiOns
Some parents thing it is terri
bic for the children to have to
go through three courses of
preventive incubation. For my
part, I only wish there were 10
or II other diseases which we
could honestly say we could
prevent in this way-that we
could vaccinate against measles,
whooping cough, meningitis, in
fantile paralysis, pneumonia
and a host of others.
That there are actually three
diseases which we can cer-
tainly and safely prevent is, in
my opinion, the greatest tri-
umph man has ever achieved
over the forces of nature
more glorious than the air
plane, telephone, radio or auto
mobile.
Certainly, therefore, no
parent should allow a child to
enter school until it has been
protected against these three
diseases.
Many Vaccinated
Vaccination against small
pox first. This is not being
insisted on lately, and threat
ems to be forgotten. There
must be a large unvaccinated
population in the United States
today. A few years ago, when
in my home town, we had a
smallpox scare. with a number
OF cases of black smallpox, the
offices of all the doctors were
filled from morning to night
with people who wanted to be
vaccinated. We found hun
dreds of people, 20, 80 and 40
years old, who never had been
vaccinated against smallpox.
II a great epidemic of small
pox were to strike this coun-
try, these people would die like
flies.
AS to the proper age for vac
cination, Osler says: "Vaccina-
ton is performed between the
fourth and sixth month, IF
unsuccessful it should be re-
peated from time to time. Re
vaccination should be done at
the age of 9 years."

and nice. No one but myself
knows of my worship for him.
OF, course, I will meet an
other young man some day and
be married, but really, Miss
Fairfax, is there any reason
why I should stop loving him
when I know that he has sense
enough not to let it turn his
head, and that he will stay
with and love his wife?

someone about it, and I thought

Very late, the night Of the
dance, as the last guests were
leaving, she was dancing with
Collin. He held her closely,
too closely. He said, hoarsely,
looking down at the radiant
face, the. golden skin and the
soft red mouth:
IT can't stand it Evelyn. :"
"Collin?" she asked, on the
breath of a whisper.
II hadn't meant to speak. I
swore I wouldn't" he muttered,
"but I can't endure it. You're
too lovely. Too dear. I love
you too much. I'll clear out of
town as soon as I CAN"
"Ah-Collin :" she said,
again on the breath of a sigh.
Looking down at her. he knew.
He held her to him with a low,
short laugh of triumph. But it
was short lived. He remembered.
They both remembered.

she hadn't had Evelyn, SHE,
would have been able to keep
Collin beside her. She couldn't
send Evelyn away: moreover,
she cared too much for ner to
contemplate it. But-Collir
must go, for whom she cared
far more. It was a. hopeless
tangle, a vicious circle.
Sally and Collin
For the rest of their stay,
Collin devoted himself lightly
and casually to one of the
pretty girls he had known for
some time and who gave strong
evidence of delight at his at
tentions.
Sally" said Jennie Carstairs
to Fanchon, "and Collin seem
to be very devoted"
She's awfully pretty" an
swered Fanchon, hating Sally
Masters with all her soul.
Jennie looked at her sharply.
But her face betrayed nothing.
Perhaps it was all on Collins
side, then? If so, so much the
better. But-poor Collin!
They returned to town late
In September. Collin immersed
himself in the business of his
office, run for the most part as
q rule by a very efficient part
ner. The partner came up to
the apartment for dinner and
promptly ranged himself with
an increasing line of suitors for
Miss Howard. Collin grumbled

CHAPTER XVII

For an instance Jennie Car
stairs regretted wildly that she
had ever asked Evelyn Howard
to come to them. Much as she
loved the girl and she did love
her very deeply, her son came
first. Collin must always come
first. That her own innocent
act of generosity and duty, Of
atonement, she admitted, had
been the cause of unhappiness
to him, was very bitter to her.
But there was nothing she could
do. She said, gently, sorrow
fully.
Evelyn is my sisters child.

Jennie said nothing, although
her heart sank to lose him
again. She had always suffered
deeply, if silently, when he
went from her on one of his
Vagabond trips. This time she
would have Evelyn, she re-
minded herself. The daughter
