The Flower of Egypt

It was q sunshiny summer morn
Ing in long ago, far away Egypt.
In q garden surrounded by or
chards and vineyards, little girl
was playing among the flowers.
"Taia," called her mothers
voice. "Come here. We must make
garlands and bouquets for our
guests who come today"
Taia quickly obeyed the sum-
mons. She loved to prepare the
floral gifts for the visitors. These
were made of different flowers &C
cording to the time of poisoning.
Sometimes they were violets, some
times roses and again chrysanthe-
NUNS.
Today the flowers were lotus
blossoms which one of the slaves
had gathered from the pool In the
garden. Taia loved these beautiful
water lilies which she had always
been told were the flowers Of the
gods.
There were two kinds of these
blossoms. One was white and
opened in the evening, the other
blue with its petals lying expanded
In the sunshine as If to catch the
hue of the sky above. Taia liked
this one better because she could
see 1t when she was at play, while
the white one opened only at night
time.
While Taia worked on the gar
lands she asked many questions
about her favorite.
1T is our country's flower" re-
piled her mother, "The Lily of the
Nile and 1t is honored every
where"
When the pleasant task of garland
making was finished Taia and her
mother went to the house. Around
the wall outside and within the
rooms stood pots of growing plants.
Taia was allowed to arrange some
Of the lotus blossoms in vases for
decoration.
In honor Of the expected COM

pany she was dressed in the dress

pany she was dressed in the dress
embroidered with lotus blossoms.
Later when the guests arrived she
watched the servants throw the
garlands around their necks, and
offer each a small bouquet to hold
in his hand. When the guests
praised the beauty Of the flowers
Taia was greatly pleased.
At the noon meal, lotus bread
was served, which Taia always
liked. She knew that this was
made from the seeds Of the plants,
for she had often seen the servants
grind it into flour.
This was a festival day and there
were to be special ceremonies In
the temple near Tafa's home. She
was delighted that she was to at
tend with all the grown-up people.
Once more lotus blossoms were
brought and Taia, like the others,
was given a handful to carry with
her. In the temple she saw many
of these flowers placed before the
statues of the gods and she rever-
emily laid her own offering among
them.

The Eighth grade Hygiene ant

The accompanying letter wa.
sent home with the students Of the
Public Schools. We hope that al
parents have regarded it with care
and given the question their con
lsideration:
Dear Parent:
While doing the physical in
spections in our school, we
found that only a few students
had been protected against
diphtheria.
Diphtheria, as you know, is
very dangerous disease. Al
though the death rate has de-
creased in the last ten years,
diphtheria caused needless
deaths in 1929. The decrease
in death rate from 285 deaths
in Minnesota in 1918 to the IS
deaths in 1929 is due to the
use of Antitoxin. Young chill
dren are most apt to get Diph-
iberia and it is also more fatal
to them. Likewise Diphtheria
may leave after-effects which
may ruin your child's health for
life.
But Diphtheria can be pre-
vented by a simple treatment
consisting of innoculations of
Toxin-Antitoxin. which your
doctor can give your child. In
children little or no reaction
follows these injections. The
immunity following develops
slowly, taking usually from 8
to 6 months, while the time
from exposure to the disease
until the first signs appear is
about 4 or 5 days. Hence, we
cannot wait until we have an
outbreak of Diphtheria to i'm
munize our children. The only
way we can put Diphtheria
with the diseases of the past
is to leave no child susceptible
to it, then there would be no
place for the germ to grow.
This we can accomplish by CIV
ing Toxin-Antitoxin.
We would like to make the
Sank Centre Schools a safe
place for your children and we
are asking you to help us. Take
your children to your physician
to have the innoculations
against Diptheria.
We are approaching May
Day, celebrated nationally as
Child Health Day. Let us urge
you to join this celebration by
protecting your child against
Diphtheria through immuniza-
ton with Toxin-Antitoxin or
it's equal Toxoid.
Sincerely yours,
Public School Health Depart
ment.
A. Thompson,
School Nurse.
