THE SUMMER GIRL AND ICE CREAM.

Yesterday was another OF the booming
days for the ice cream girls and the Hart
ford Telegram feels ilnpelled to remark as
follows: "The germ theory of disease has
assumed an Importance In the affairs of
everyday life that is truly extraordinary
The bacilii are found in the air we breathe,
the water we drink and the food we eat.
They are everywhere, and the inumer;
able ills that man is heir to are
now ascribed to the frolicsome bacillus.
In the past we have borne much
from these infinitesinal germs and animal
cules, and if we have not regarded their
invasion into equanimity we have at least
sustained their attacks with commendable
fortitude. But now humanity must rebel,
and when we speak of humanity we mean
specifically the bright, joyous, we'll dressed
summer girl. For instance, that great
bugbear and consequent nuisance has de-
creed that the light, ethereal food upon
which the summer girl thrives and gains
sustenance-ice cream-oontains deadly
chemical ombination whose product is the
tyrotoxicon, and that its invasion on our
stomachs is oftentimes accompanied with
the most deadly peril.
"Fo or there other poisonous combinations
are formed too numerous to mention. The
tyrotoxicon will be hailed as the friend
and abettor Of the young man whose peck
etbook warns him against extravaganza out
lay, and when the slightest hint is given
by his best girl that ice cream would be
welcome let him with learned phrases dis
cuss the propagation of germs and tyro-
toxicon in particular and she will become SO
much imbued with his terror of its raw
ages that she will take him to some high
priced restaurant where she is sure such q
thing as the tyrotoxicon is never found"
