No, but as distances have come to be considered. not now so widely separated as once. Despite almost overwhelming discouragements they have, by their industry. per- severance and vision. built to their own liking an ideal farmhouse and buildings.

The approach to the site of these is, we think. novel and at- tractive. The lane winds through a pretty and natural grove. branch- es over—arching, serving to make it an enchanting avenue of travel.

Indeed taken up with it, one is rather unprepared for the fetch- ing scene which unfolds beyond

As parents r;.-.<i heallh articles wri.teii by reputable pliysiciaus. they naturally cannot understand how one physician or group of physicians will make a statement

Thus in the Year Book of Pedia- trics (children's diseases) of 1950, we read the statement that "taken objectively. the facts do not prove that poliomyelitis." In the 195i Year Book of Pediatrics we read. “the relationship between removal of tonsils (and ndenoids) and the in- creased incidence (number of cases of polio) seems to have become more clearly defined." Recently a review of the date from New York City Health Department by Drs. M. Slegel. M. Greenberg and M. C.

For Tomorrow

Tl-I15 day is one which calls for infinite tact and unusual diplomacy since there is a tendency toward "edginess" in both business and personal relationships. Curbing the tendency in yourself will save many an error; will also help you note the mistakes of others —- and profit thereby. It's 1. good day in which to enter financial 'agree- ments, however, especially if they are the result of thorough study and analysis. Let. prudence be your byword. Not. the best day in itself for social contacts. it is. neverthe- less. a good one on which to plan group activities for the future.

If It Is Your Birthday

If tomorrow is your birthday. the year ahead should prove unusually stimulating. You will experience some interesting changes both in your business and personal rela- tionships and. if you are willing to work hard, your financial situation should be considerably improved by the end of the year. Do not expect to achieve monetary gain by spec- ulation or by gambling. however. 50!‘ “'3 YOU!‘ year to stress the con- servative. Rather thpn take chances, rely on your own wisdom or, if in doubt. seek competent advice. There is a good chance that you may travel in the fall.

As a sort of "clincher" of the fact. that this paralyzing type of polio shows more of the bulbar type after recent removal of tonsils, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which distributes the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually collected to prevent polio of all types, has accepted the fact that removal of tonsils and ade- nolds should not be done just prior to the polio season.

As a matter of fact. many sur- geons state that no surgical opera- tions that can be safely postponed should be performed at this time.

There are. of course, some op- eratlons, including removal of too- sils. that must be performed, re- gardless of the polio season. The polio season, August and Septem- ber. is many months off yet but paligents should keep these facts in m .
