Diners and parlor cars have wreaths in the windows and festoons throughout the interiors, while the season's greetings are conveyed to the public by illuminated markers on the rear of all dining-car and parlor-car trains. Cards bearing a personal greeting to passengers from the North Shore Line manacrement are being distributed by cond~ctors on all trains. As an added Christma.s service feature, prize beet from the 1928 International Live Stock exposition in Chicago is being served in diners during the holiday season. One of the most striking Christma.; decorations in the downtown Chicago business district is being displayed in the windo\v of the main out-bound loop station of the North Shore line at 223 S. Wabash avenue. It consists of a wreath eight feet in diameter, in the center of which is an artificial candle five feet high. The candle is lighted by a cluster of 30 flame-colored electric bulbs, which alternately: flicker off and on so that a realistic impression of a turning candle is given. Mr. and Mrs. Harry B. Burnside, 1515 Lake avenue, will entertain sixteen guests at bridge tomorrow evening. -oDr. and Mrs. \Villis Strong, 1113 Chestnut avenue, entertained a family party of twelve at Christmas dinner. -o-Mark Cresap, 535 Warwick road, Kenilworth, arrived last Saturday from Williams college for the holidays. State Public Health Department to Have N~w Health Bulletin The first edition of a new bi-weekly health bulletin, under the title of the Illinois Health Messenger, prel?arecl for popular distribution and pubhsh~cl by the State Department of Pubb~ Health, will appear next week, accord ing to an announcement ma~e here today by Dr. Isaac D: Rawh.ngs, s~~t,e health director. The mnovatton, v:' tcn will replace the monthly . b~~letm of the past, is anot~e~ st~p tmttated bv the health authontt'es m an ~ffort to keep the public adequ~t~ly mformed concerning health condttlons, seasonable epidemic variations, and new ~e velopments in the field of preventtve medicine. · Epidemics Are Spasmodic "Epidemics usually tr~vel f~om place to place, rarely explodmg stmultaneously upon a whole state or upon .a~w considerable number of commumttcs within a state. They also travel more at certain season3 of the year than at others. For this reason it is ?ften possible to forestall an outbreak ~~the people in any particular com~um.ty know of the approach of an eptdemtc: Precautionarv measures are parttcular!v effective -against smallpox, typho!d fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever .. Thus it is important t~ h~ve ade9~~te and sensitive con0.'11Untcatton facthtt cs established between the State Depart· ment of Public Health and the people throughout the state. "Furthermore the complexity of modern life makes it increasingly difficult for peopl~ to know what to believe or what coune to pursue when questions of health come up for decision. Should Johnnie be immunized against scarlet fever? Is whooP._ing cough preventable by vaccination? Will yeast rejuvenate a person? Sho~ld !he schools be close!i to stop an eptdemtc? Of what value i3 a school nurse? What are the state quarantine regulations? These and a thousand other health questions come up for repeated answers and the public has a right to expect reliable information about these matters. First Edition January 1 "For these reasons it seems wise to begin the publication of a biweekly bulletin of a newspaper character which will cover matters of interest in the field of public health . The first edition will be dated January 1, 1929 and will go into the mails next week, according to plans. It will be distributed to mayors, newspapers, health officers, school superintendents and principals, farm bureau and home bu. reau members, public health nunes and doctors. = D You have recreation plus in the bridal paths. tennis courts and Skokie sunsets.
