SOWING SHEDS IN FEHT1I-E SOIIr-FORTY TIIIKTY-TWO ATTACKED jxspresants bhe children from faimllly living in lilberty District, Shortly niftar the opeininf? ot school they were 'brolcen out' but continued to go to saliool. Tiholr 'pimples' were thought to be due to tlie eating of too many ripe tomatoes. Within a few weeks, other oliildreiu iln the school took sick with fever, headache and the appearance OE The district school was closed because all of the. pupils had 'become ill and had 'sores' on 1 their faces, arms, auvd bodies. Tlhen: several weeks later, some of tihe parents 'In these farm homes took sick In the-sumo manner as tlie children.

Families concerned failed -to call a physician because those affected were only mildly HI aind they didn't care' to have their homes quarantined. Health authorities did 1 not learn of, the situation! uinitil some children were taken to town to toe. vaccinated. Investigation proved that the breaking out was due to smiallpox, "What actually (happened to eight faran homes to the school district concerned? Candid inqury revealed the 'fact that 'fanty grown people aind, children lived In those homes. Pour out of the five or a total of thirty- two persons suffered an mittnck of smiaMpo.N.

All but one of the thirty two had never been successfully vaccinated against the disease; one bad beemi successfully vaccinated, but over 'forty years ago. How did the eight of these -ftuuilies escape disease? Two persons h.ad had smallpox some years before. Am elderly man been vaccinated in infancy, before leaving Sweden. Another farmer of middle age had been vaccinated during Inlfainoy ini Germany; had been revaccinated on board ship in 1 Chicago -factory. One child hud 'been vaccinated four years ago.

The two remaining persons who escaped uhe disease had been vaccinated as regular protective measure while employed at the University Hospital in Iowa City. Those who had recently been successfully vaccinated, escaped without illness; ail the rest were uinip-rotcet'-Hl and suffered ifrom smallpox. "Aithougili tihe disease, had spent itself as far as that particular district was concerned, other cli'lldrcn had been exposed In a dance. Ivall am' the disease was active elsewhere in the county. "If iieop'le could but realize that ir the perlodls epidemics of smallpox which swoop through our cominttini- ties like) a pestilential fire, aM of the patients are among uni'vacclnated persons, the following things would be sure to happen," states the Iowa State Department at Health: 1.

Public and parochial school boards would have nearly unanimous support to requiring for adnulsslow to school either certificate of successful vaccliniaton, or exclusion from school -a mlnimuimi period of twen- y-one days. "2. Parents would not fall to take ihelr. babies to the family physician far.this protective measure in the 'irst year of Jife. "3.

County supervisors would a minimum amount of health supervision ifor the of school I children ire the tmiamy district schools, so as to protect them against smallpox ajid other health hazards even more uingent in nature. "It does not pay to allow disease to rlife amid unchecked. On the other h-and disease prevention represents true economy and brings ample reward." THANKSGIVING SERVICES HELD AT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH As is customary -in tihe Christian Science denomination; public services were -held by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bstherville, Iowa, on Thanksgiving Day and a lesson-Sermon prepared for that occasion, was read by the First Second Readers. The first part at these services camfp.nlsed congregational singing; the reading of the Thanksgiving proclamation, issued by the President of the United- States; a Scripture read- Ing bearing on the day's Observance followed by sileiut prayer and the aud'ible repetition, of the -Lord's prayer with its spiritual from; the Clwiistiivn Seduce textboolj "Science Health with Key to. the Scriptures" by -Mary Baker Eddy.

The Golden Text of Wie Lesson- Sermon, "A'll things are for your sakes, that Hie abundant grace might through Tliaintosgivlivg of many roboiuud to the glory of God" (II Cor. was read the First Reader aifter which the congregation joined in responsive reading chosen from Colosslans, This was (followed by the of the Lesson-Sermon- comprisirog selections (Irani! the and correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook. These read'lmgs pointed out tihe need for being grateful to God for His bestowal of all eood on man. It was shown also that g.ratl- is best expressed 1 by deeds rather -tihart by words, and that ulti-: mately the predominance of good will be experienced as declared in'' Rev. 12:10, 12, "And I heard a loud voice saying to heaven, Now Is come sol- aind and -kingdom of our God and the power of his Ifor the accuser of oar breth- ren, is oast down which atecused them before our Qpd day and night.

There- fare" rejoice, ye heavens, -aiml- ye dwell In. them." Scriptural reference was corroborated by the following 'frami "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, "Far victory over a single iln, we-give thanks and- magnify the Lord off Hosts. What stall we say of the imllghty conquest over all sin? A louder song, sweeter than has ever before reached high heaven, now rises clearer and nearer to the great heart of Christ; ifor the accuser is not hhere, and Love sends forth her primal and everlasting strain" (p. 568).
