 o. Please give me some simple rules for guarding an infant against disease.
 A. Have the baby immunized against diphtheria when he is nine months old and vaccinated against smallpox before his first birthday. Keep him away from anyone who is ill. A person who has "only a cold" or "just a cough" may infect a baby and cause serious illness. Never take the child into crowded places, such as stores or theaters. Keep flies and other insects away from him and his food. Boil his milk and drinking water and, unless the doctor orders otherwise, cook all his food. except fruit juices and cod liver oil.

 one of Detroit's prettier tall girls had more get-up-and-ge than to behave in any such fashion. Last December she organized club, called 1t the "Tip-Toppers," and limited membership to girls who are five feet nine and a half or more (take your shoes off, please, while you are measured). and to men six feet two, or over.
 Right away this up-and-coming tip-tocper found herself head of 6 club with 300 members, all com- fortable for Q tall person to be around.
 Membership in the club has made the tall men and girls 50 proud of their height that now they are falling in love with each other instead of the tall men -as so often happens In life - falling for and marrying short girls.
 First marriage among the Tip Peppers came off the other day, with the clubs founder, as the bride, looking almost petite beside her six foot five husband.

X-RAY VERSUS PHYSICIAN
 AND DENTIST

A physician who flourished in George WashinGton,s day wrote: "I can not help thinking that our success in the treatment of all chronic diseases would be very much promoted by directing our I1- quiries into the state Of the teeth of sick people and by advising their extraction in every case in which they are decayed. It Is not neces- sary that they should be attended with pain in order to produce dis ease :" This physician, Dr. Beu- jamin Rush, after whom Rush Medical College lChicago) was named, described cases in which cx- traction of decayed teeth had ap- parently brought about complete cure of chronic rheumatism" after the trouble had failed to respond to any of the remedies or method of treatment then employed.
 Morbid effects of acrid and pu- trid matters which are sometimes discharged from carious teeth" as Rush described what we regard as the manifestations of focal infec- tion, might occur even though there were no toothache.
 Today we know that manifesto tions of focal infection, such es chronic. arthritis or rheumatism" if you prefer, occur in 8 great many instances without the patient be- ing aware of any pain or trouble in tooth or tonsil or wherever the underlying septic focus or infection may be.
 The frequency of such "silent" focal infection, say blind" (pain- less) ahscess about the root of 8 tooth, or apical infection or root canal infection, or a indus or area of infection in one tonsil, accounts for the practice of indiscriminate removal Of teeth or tonsils in cases of chronic arthritis or persistent neuritiS just on the oil chance that the source of the "acrid and ou- trid matters" may be thus eradica- ted. Sometimes it is eradicated, and everybody is happy about it. But more times the fishing excursion proves luckless, and then everybody is unhappy about 1t.
 X-ray films of the teeth common ly give evidence of infection about the roots even though the patient has had no toohache or other in- dication of anything wrong. Par ticularly so in cases of root canal filings, crowns or caps or bridges attached to the teeth. However the X-ray film is by no means de- cisive and in any case should be considered only as confirming the opinion of the physician and den- tist as to the advisability of extrac- tion of a tooth or teeth. Neither the dentist nor the physician is jus titled in advising the sacrifice of 6 tooth, much less many teeth or al the teeth the patient has left, mere. ly on X-ray evidence alone. Los; of a tooth that is still functionally useful is a serious matter. Loss ol several or all of the teeth impose: upon any one handicap in main. taining good nutrition. Therefore the extraction of one or more teetf should be decided upon only aftel consultation between physician ana dentist. Only through such con. sultation can X-ray films of thG teeth be interpreted in the best in. terest of the patient. A physician | or dentist who would be arbitrary about this and insist upon sacrifice of Q patients teeth wihout careful consultation is e good one to avoid in any circumstance - In my opin.

These Fall Hats Are Really Originals"

BY SARAH WEEKS

 New York--I've just seen a col- lection of exquisite new hats which persuaded me that this fall every woman who accents an air-of-her- own should have an "extra" cha peau for special occasions = and that, if necessary, she can make one.
 "All you need" agreed the sage seated beside me, lis . pair of scis- sors, one pretty crown or one lovely brin, and an idea.'
 I trust that you will understand. I don't mean that any girl can make herself look like model by trying to duplicate a professionally designed hat. mean that the creations I saw called attention to the importance of using all the originality you possess.
