Large illuminated || trees have been installed in the sta- tions at Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and Wilson avenue, Chicago, and a tree also has been placed on the roof of the Milwaukee terminal. Wreaths are hung in all stations along the line. Diners and parlor cars have wreaths in the windows and festoons through- out 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 passen- gers from the North Shore Line man- agement are being distributed by con- ductors on all trains. As an added Christmas service feature, prize beef from the 1928 International Live Stock exposition in Chicago is being served in diners during the holiday season. One of the most striking Christmas decorations in the downtown Chicage ' | business district is being displayed in the window 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 elec- tric bulbs, which alternately flicker off and on so that a realistic impres- sion of a turning candle is given.

Rawlings, state health director. The innovation, which will replace the monthly bulletin of the past, is another step initiated by the health authorities in an effort: to keep the public adequately informed concerning health conditions, season- able epidemic variations, and new de- velopments in the field of preventive medicine. Epidemics Are Spasmodic "Epidemics usually travel from place to place, rarely exploding simultane- ously upon a whole state or upon any considerable number of communities within a state. They also travel more at certain seasons of the year than at others. For this reason it is often pos- sible to forestall an outbreak if the peo- ple in any particular community know of the approach of an epidemic. Pre- cautionary measures are particularly effective against smallpox, typhoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever. Thus it is important to have adequate and sensitive comumunication facilities established between the State Depart- ment of Public Health and the people throughout the state. "Furthermore, the complexity of modern life makes it increasingly diffi- cult for people to know what to believe or what course to pursue when ques- tions of health come up for decision. Should Johnnie be immunized against scarlet fever? Is whooping cough pre- ventable by vaccination? Will yeast rejuvenate a person? Should the schools be closed to stop an epidemic? Of what value is a school nurse? What are the state quarantine regulations? These and a thousand other health questions come up for repeated an- swers and the public has a right to ex- pect 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 ih 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 distrib- uted to mayors, newspapers, health officers, school superintendents and principals, farm bureau and home bu- reau members, public health nurses and doctors. 51,% MONEY Have funds to loan on choice im- proved North Shore Suburban res- idence property at 5% % Interest.
