they have no tele phone no near neighbors and would freeze if they tried to get here through high drifts such a winter it looks as though our christmas will be we two she sighed at the colorlighted

with joy beneath each hloodslaind uniform like perfume of dead roses memories cams of happy bygone days a trasrant swarm that breath d ol home and hearth and yulctlde game and love that pormiscd to be -ver- more the same rare were the pictures that remem brance kept bright tapestries ol immemorial hills where dreaming spires in the village slept and evening lamps upon far window- sills to him who bless d that season with his birth coming to sound the depth of human ills and tender for the heart of human worth to bear the concentrated sorrows of the earth i the day was over and the sky was riven once more with clamorous hate that soaring high smote like elijahs lightning out ol heaven implacable as ocean came the cry of cannonvoices and old dreams passd by shapeless as windblown shadows wrath grew strong like poison in the veins that bliirrd the eye and drownd the echoes of the angels song m the whlnneylngs of harpies raven ous for wrong brief was that benediction from the past i springs of sweet water in the bitter deep had risen for a day but could not last amid the tides of slaughter prove like sheep onaval on by greedy death the warriors keep tiielr honord oath of hate their vow to slay nor see afar the lord of christmas praying mans naming lusts might pass away last in oblivion ilk a star in radiant by watson klritconneu mjt p ttjoa pahlst 8 rb out the driveways again harris announced pulling on jacket and gloves later when he went inside to warm his fingers he heard martha humming and was thankful that she was cheerful over the disap pointment of christmas eve without her relatives odors of savory food and the attractive table with christmas colors were inviting as he stamped in after evening chores were finished tonight will be the worst so far this winter the wind is rising and snow blowing a terrible night surely no one would venture on highways why where is the tree did you dump it outside because our company didnt come he looked to be sure rachel was sane of qi the occurrence of a diphtheria in um city of quebec watte regrettable will not be becthr- ed very atuch by calling names in some quarters there la a disposition to blame the local martins officer of health or the city authorities without considering the old msslm it is not hard to bring the horse to the brink but twenty men wont make htm drink- in other words while it is apparent from press statements that diphtheria toxoid has been freely offered uw public ol quebec it is equally apparent that the public bave not accepted the offer usually the reason tor such a stall of things is public ignorance- or public apathy in regard to the value of preventive measures and to iver- oome either ignorance or apathy con stant benign education is necessary this press item is an attempt to af ford help to the children of any com munity attacked by diphthesis the means of prevention of this malady are well known the use of diphtheria toxoid has demonstrated lta value all over the continent in hun dreds of towns and cities it has made the children impervious to attacks of diphtheria how can the pubuc be induced to use this beneficent measure of preven tion an example is afforded by brief recual of the measures taken by the health offlotr of the city of windsor ontario to have the population of that city vaccinated in the face of an outbreak of malignant smallpox the health otncer assembled all his forces the doctors the city nurses business men and particularly the press clergy these urged the public to cept vaccination the results gratifying within a period of jrhree weeks w of the populatlogtjf-wlnd- sor had been vaccinated tne malady was limited to gy cases in it was a malignant type of mau vm evident from the fact that of tpqwttrrii t ur lsaristmas ca

night as nuts were cracked and corn popped christmas morning mr harrison helped keep snow from driveways and a path to the grove where the children carried food to a stack of fodder which the man had
