' It is when we give of time, talent, consideration,love, un- stintingly that we are happy.

You may not have tried it yet or you may, like the housekeeper I,knew once, be in the habit of cutting it hefore Christmas, just to see it is all right, and it may be dwindling away, so I'm . going to give 'you a nice new recipe. This lady I speak of one Christmas decided that the cake; should not be cut un- til Christmas Day and when it was, although she was a careful house- wife, it was found that the centre had not been• sufficiently baked, and •fhe cake was not as successful as usualOn seeing it her son,who had pretested against having to wait until Christmas to taste the cake, reproachfully remarked: "Now, Mother, you've Kept that cake so long that mortification has set it."

REBEKAH reason why no ill-effects follow such 'a round of activities is the fact that all the time We are thus hurrying and seurrying we are thinking of someone else. For days, weeks, per- haps, we have little time to think of ourselves and are concentrating all our thoughts upon others, and it is good for us. Nothing• is so bad for us as concentrating all our thoughts upon ourselves. Fact cls, if we go about it M the right way, we can work up a very case for ourselves.

It would- be reasonable to 'expect that a disease for which there is nor; only a specific cure, providing it is used early, butalso a definite means of prevention, would be a rare disease.,' When we find that not only is the disease not a rare .condition, but. that -practically one out of every hundreddeaths obcurring in Canada is due to it, we are broeght to ask: 3s this the result of indifference or `ignorance? 'We can hardly imagine that over x'900 lives are sacrifice(] each.'ypar in this country to indifference, We think it surelymust be ignorance and, for that reason, we repeat what 'so. many of .our'readers• must have react before. However,:. we offer no . ap- a which, apparently, are needed `to combat the. ignorance that costs over 900 lives, not to mention the suffer- „„ing of the 'thousands who recover.

It is 'a responsibility v2Siich rests equally upon. the should- ers of every parent or • guardian. Seience has . provided a means by which children may be immunized or protected against diptheria. This will not do the least bit of good to .the child whose parents fail to have hien immunized.
