A TIP FROM MARK TWAIN t

Mark Twain’s loVable Pudd’nheadkWilson wrote in his diary: “October. This is a peculiarly liangerous month to speculate in. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June December August and February.". ' ' Pudd’nhead Wilson could write today with more telling effect abofit .the gamble millions of Americans are now raking, For these millions are gambling with more more than 'money. They are gambling with their Jives. > - Here is what we mean: ,[ There are 300,000 Americans alive today who have had polio. Many of them are crippled for life. Some are stall in iron lungs. Some will never be able to leave a wheel chair. But since 1955, thanks to Dr. Jonas E. Salk and the March of Dimes, we have a vaccine to prevent polio paralysis. It won’t cure those already crippled, but it will prevent

new1 cases. . . , _ Some 65 million Americans have already had the wisdom to stop gambling with polio by taking Salk injections. But 46 million polio-eusceptibe \ persons under the a£e of 4 j have neglected to do so. These are the foolhardy gamblers. ' ' Any month in the calendar is a good month for starting vour series of polio shots. Every month ypu delay is a bad month for speculating with your health.Vake a tap from Pudd’nhead Wilson and protect yourself against the risk of polio crippling now. J ■ ' - .
