VIC nIodern shirt Front.

"There is nothing in the world that
shows the inborn tendency of mankind
TO run in rut more than the archi-
lecture of the modern Shirt So said
a young man oficonoclastic tendencies.
"For years mems vests have been buttoned
almost up to the chin, and the little
piece of shirt front that would be left
exposed has been covered by a necktie.
And yet men go on wearing shirts with
fronts down to the waist, starched and
ironed till they're as stiff as boiler-plate,
and they pay every week for getting two
or three of these things carefully polished.
A man might as well have the back of
his vest laundried every week. "--To Toronto

A Cause of Typhoid Fever.

A great deal of the typhoid fever
prevalent in that part of Pittsburg
known as the south side is attributed to
the fact that many of the houses are
built on made ground, covering low land
on which natural water courses have
been filed up The rains in the Alle-
gheny and Monongehela watersheds
have made the river water at Pittsburg
very muddy, and although it would
probably be more wholesome for all that
than well water, the south side people
have been drinking the well water, into
which various impurities have found
their way from the artificial soil.
