He is living on his Hackensack, Minn., U.S He goes on to say: "I saw many cases in 1908, travelling all over the State (Minnesota). There were instances of more than one case in a family, alâ€" though not frequently. One outbreak was in about 20 Polish families each with 5 to, 10 children. There was. just one case to the family. The Polish peaple lived in the suburbs of â€"aâ€"city of 20,000. The only cases outside‘theâ€"ones among these people were in the family of the superintendent of schools who lived in the heart of the city. Both his children had poliomyelitis. I told the authorities of the place that I did not know how to stop an outbreak of polio, but that in an adjacent Wisconsin town they consistently watered the streets and did not have the disease. I got our streets watered and (better to be born lucky than rich) we had no more cases."

Christmas customs, religious and pagan, mediaeval and modern, Teuâ€" tonic and Romanic, are blended in curiâ€" ous fashion throughout the Christian world. Methods of celebration, differâ€" ing widely in each country, are often an apparent reflection of racial charaâ€" teristics. Each nation has its particular symbol of the feast. In Germany and modern England, the Christmas tree is the centre; in Jugoslavia, Southern France, Northern Italy and mediaeval England, the yule log; in Spain and France genâ€" erally, the crib; and in Italy, the bamâ€" bino (little infant.) Decoration of houses with evergreensi â€"holly, ivy and mistletoeâ€"originated from a similar practice at the pagan Kalends of January (beginning of the civil year). The ancients considered evergreens, as they did all nature, symbolic of good luck. But what probâ€" ably endeared the custom to Christ,ian' peoples was the mediaeval legend that all the trees and growing things in the forest blossomed anrd bore fruit the night of the Nativity. Hence the greab! popularity of the Christmas tree, itself | a comparatively modern custom. Royal Christmas Tree In Germany, the "land of trees", first mention of the Christmas tree is found in the seventeenth century, but its usage was not general there until the | end of the eighteenth century. It was not popular in England until after 1840, when Queen Victoria and Prince Alâ€" bert are said to have had a tree,. About ’ that time, also, it was first introduced into France and the Scandinavian countries. Saviour Christ, Thou still art King, Loyal tribute here we bring; Humbly bow we at Thy feet, Praying Thee our souls to greet, And in joyous, glad acclaim Sing we praise to Thy blest name. â€"George Allen Kingston Shepherdas, heralds, wise men three Round the sacred hostelry Voitres lift with one accord Praise to the redeeming Lord; Thus the Christ is ushered in, Saviour of a world from sin. In the land of its origin the "Weinâ€" achtsbaum" (Christmas tree) posessses one aspect peculiar to that country alone. Regarded as utilitarian as well as decorative in other countries, to the German the tree is symbolic of the Tree of Life and is itself a thing of beauty. Presents are never placed on it, and usually a short distance away rather than beneath it. Advent Holy B It is the Kristkind (Christ Child), not Santa Claus, who bears gifts to the German child Christmas Eve.
