ing cough; diphtheria, smallpox,
typhoid fever, tetanus, and in
fluenza. At various times these
have been discussed individual
ly, but today they will be consid
ered as a group.
Diphtheria toxoid should be
given to every child between the
age of six and nine months. It
is usually given in two shots one
month apart and may be given
by itself or in combination
with whooping cough and tetanus
or with one or the other of these.
A booster shot of diphtheria vac
cine should be given each year
through and including the year
that the child starts to school. A
booster dose consists of just one
shot and is intended to strength
en the resistance to the disease
developed in the child the first
time he is vaccinated. Os course
with some children booster doses
do not need to be given as often
as with others and the need for
them may be determined by do
ing a skin test called the Schick
test to determine whether the
child is sensitive or resistant to
the diphtheria germ.
Whooping cough vaccine has
only recently been perfected to
the point of being advised for
all children but is now required
by law for all babies within the
first year of life and preferably
between three and six months.
This dose also can be given sep
arately or combined with diph
theria toxoid or diphtheria and
tetanus. It is advisable to have a

vaccine also through the year

Tetanus is not required by law
because it is not of enough prac
tical value to be advised for all
persons in civilian life, however,
many pediatricians advise giving
it during infancy so as to start
the development of immunity so
that only a booster shot will be
needed later, in case of an acci
dent, in prevention of lockjaw.
THE SKYLAND POST, WEST JEFFERSON, N. C.
Smallpox vaccine should be
given within the first year of
me and may be given as early as
two or three months of age. It
should be repeated every five to
seven years and serves as its own
test of effectiveness because if
results are good the vaccine will
not take but if resistance is poor
the vaccination will take unless
the vaccine is bad. Until recent
ly there was almost no smallpox
in the United States, but last fall
there were many cases in San
Francisco introduced by return
ing soldiers ahd within the past
few weeks there have been a
number of cases in New York
City and only last week a case
was reported from Shelby, N. C.
This should give new stimulus to
the desire for all people in this
district to make sure that they
are properly protected. There
exists in the minds of many in
telligent people a loohsh and un
founded dread of smallpox vac
cine while the single small sore
which is produced is hardly to be
compared with the numerous
ugly sores that many children get
each fall which are called “fall
sores.”
Typhoid vaccine should be giv
en to everyone above the age of
one year. The first time it is
given, or if it has not been given
for more than one year, three
shots are necessary at intervals
of one week. Because it is a dis
ease largely transmitted by flies
it is most common to give the
\accine during the summer. The
season for typhoid vaccinations
is just beginning, and everyone I
is urged to be vaccinated either
at one of the Health Departments I
or at one of the clinics to be an
nounced later.

I):d junior ever ask you whether
you ever hit a home run? This is
the time of the year when questions
like that one will come poppin’ at
pop. Well, daddy, you can look
junior right in the eye and say truth
fully: “Yes, son, I did many times,”
(that is if you are investing in Sav
ings Bonds every payday.) Figure
it out yourself. Every Savings Bond
represents a four-base hit for jun
ior’s future. Even Babe Ruth
couldn’t hit one over the fence every
time he came to bat. Step to the

Some day junior will stand up and

UIOOS of the Moment
BY UNCLE 808
of the Kraft Dairy Farm Service
Home Grown
Proteins Cut
Feed Costs
I got a chuckle out of this story and
maybe you will, too. .\n elderly
preacher was thanking his congre
gation for all the line pigs’ feet lie
had received in the past few months.
He said they were plumb delicious.
“But.” he added. “If I'm going to
keep on this job of saving you sin
ners, I'm going to have to t at higher
up on the hog 1 ”
Strikes me the story is a lesson
for a dairy farmer to remember
in feeding his cows. If they pro
duce all the milk you wan: from
tnem in the months ahead, they
must have quality feed, especially
when the pasture It uh. is over.
I've just received one of the best
bulletins I’ve run acro-s in a long
tune on protein feed. It's from the
Extension Service. L niversity of
Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn. It is
Publication No. 300. called “Keys
to the Protein Feed Problem.”
It points out that protein feed is
absolutely essential to cows’ health
and milk production. Often, how
ever. it is an expensive feed. But you
can grow a greater quantity of your
own protein at home, thus cutting
down the cost of producing milk.
Tennessee pointsout that good
pasture and high quality leafy
legume hay are the cheapest and
most important sources of pro
tein. If you have good legume
pastures, good supplementary
pastures and a high quality hay
program, you can save plenty on
your feed bills, and still give
your cows the feed they need.
Slwc
The bulletin says that getting into
such a program is like planting pen
nies and reaping dollars.
You’ll get a great deal of informa
tion out of the bulletin on the s in
ject of what kind of grasses and hay ■
give the most protein so I suggest
you write lor a copy today regard
