• * i * ] FAMILIES STILL UND ER QUARANTINE. Some Parents are Having fheir Children Innocu- lated-Virulent Bacille Found in Cultures Sent to State Laboratory. No move diptheria cases or carriers are reported, but unfortunately nope of the quarantined families has yet shown the two negative cultures nec essary to release them. Qne, little girl in a family of pre school age is exceedingly proud of be ing “ the very first child in the valley ” to have the toxin-antitoxin inoccula- tion against diptheria. Some of the parents of the smaller children are not waiting to see whether the help of the State will extend beyond the school children, but are having their own physician inoeculate the little ones, who are of the most susceptible age of all. The State Laboratory has tested some of the cultures sent from our diptheria “ carriers ” by the so-called “virulence test, ” and the report, re ceived states that the bacille are vi rulent. This is a very elaborate test taking much time and costing much money, so that it is only done when bacilli linger, in order ;to; ascertain ’ whether these are still) dangerous.

PUSSY WILLOWS By Edward May Cummings, West Lebanon Pussw Willows are the' first sigh of Spring, They greet us as we pass, They wave their little limbs as if saying, “ Spring is here at last. ” One morning the first day of spring the sun came out to do' his share of greeting, and the pussy willows threw back their heavy brown, coats. “ I guess we will have no more use for these heavy gar ments, ” said the little pussies as they peeped out: to ; welcome ; the sunshine- : The little 'pussies grew Re side an okhideserted road. and : they did j not for a number of days a little girl had been watching'them very closely, but al most as soon as they uncovered their pretty little heads, they were gath ered ‘ lovingly in the arms of little Dorothy .Markel. The little pussies wondered why Dorothy hugged them 1 ' so tightly and they hoped she would not take them away from the warm sunshine. Dorothy knew where there was a very sick little girl, so she quickly 5 ran, 1 : tor thei: little gjrl ’ g home, and carefully [arranged the pussies and carried them to hot 1 room. Dorothy however, was saddened for on entex - - ihg the room she saw so many beautiful flowers that she was afraid the little pussy willows would not be very welcome there, but she was soon very happy again for the little girl said, “ Oh ’ Dorothy where did you find the dear little pussies? ” Please bring them to me, ” and then she hugged., them almost as tightly as Dorothy did when she first found them. The little pussies were placed m the sunniest place in a large win dow and they thanked little Doro thy altho she did not know It, for bringing them to such a dear friend who would not deny them the bright warm sunshine.
