 BENEFITS OTHER BABIES
 Serious requests for information are always answered to the best of our ability, and one of the finest things about the survival of the quins has been the revived interest of baby's specialist and clinics all over the world.
 It usually costs me about 112 to $20 a month in postage alone to mail out monographs and answer as best we may the questions of hospitals and physicians.
 There are many requests also from individuals for personal ad- vice, but of course this kind of in- quiry can not be satisfactorily an- swered. We do not try to answer, beyond the old tried-and-true rule, your own doctor knows best"

 The mystics, too, are drawn to our babies, and one reports that Your treasure babies are the re- incarnation of the prime law of nature. :" but the letter closing "Yours in Peace Profound" is 8 little too esoteric for me.
 SOME WEIRD REQUESTS
 No request is too bizarre to be sent to me here in Callander. Some ladies offer. for 10 cents apiece to embroider my pame and those of the quins on a quilt they are mak- ing, but another group goes farther, and announces that they are mak- ing quilts from the shirt-tails of famous men, and wouldn't I like to send them 8 patch cut out of 8 shirt-tail to add to the quilt?
 Of course not all our mail is 50 trivial. Here are serious requests for information on the rearing of the quins from an Egyptian doc- tor in Alexandria, from the Cal- cuta Medical Journal of India, and from the director of a famous children's clinic in Osaka, Japan, who confesses that, in spite of near modern" equipment for the care of premature infants. i've are not proud of our results"

but the sincerity of the children Is clear enough, and very appealing. QUINs ARE IN STYLE
 Here is a letter from man who thinks the quintuplets have been working too hard, and that 1t is about time they had vacation somewhere where 1t is beautiful and they could enjoy life by wear ing styles from New York, and go to Florida and California"
 Of course, enjoying, life is just about all the quintuplets do. As far as New York styles are con- cerned, have the word of those who know more tbaut things like that than I do, that their clothes are the very last word in children's apparel from the best New York stores.
 The letters vary from the hue morous to the tragic. Here is one from father of IS girls who says he hasn't got 50 cents" and would like us to receive his girls into our nursery for care such as the quiris are getting.

Brought face to face with the death of a one year old baby, re- sulting from diphthcria, and three additional cases reported since that time last week, the Visiting Nurses Association is taking drastic steps to wipe out any possible chances of what may result in an epidemic in this locality.
 One of the first moves to be made will be the opening of an inmuniz- ation clinic at Sprague school, Mon- day, December 14th the exact time to be announced later.
 The treatments consist of g series of two lamentations, which will be given free of cost to any child of pre-school age (froIn six months to five yearsy. They are of very simple nature and are harmless to those who receive them, if administered properly.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, health officer of Waterbury, will be the ad- ininistering physician.
 Visiting Nurse, Mary w .Farrar. whose regional territory includes Waterville. when interviewed yes- terday stated she urges all parents of children between the ages of six months and i've years to bring their children to the Sprague school clinic December 14th for treatments and in 50 doing, avoid any possibility of the spread of that dreaded disease, diphtheria. Miss Farrar said, We have had one death and three re- ported cases 50 far. We will have no additional cases if the people and parents of Watervillc viii cooper ate with the Visiting Nurses Asso- ciation by presenting their chil- dren at the clinic for the treat ments. There is no cost involved to children or parents and the protec- ton derived from the treatments ia perfect insurance against diph- theria."

 The bag has already begun to grow heavier, and it will continue to do 50, laden with greetings from all over the world, until the holiday season is past. The varied mail received by the quintuplets and by me is one of the pleasantest' and most amusing sides of "the job" here.
 Some of the mail that comes to me is very touching. and some is amusing. but almost all of 1t tries to be helpful. and expresses Q good will that adds warmly to the Joy of the Christmas season.
