The Health Board has resolved to save
New York from the fate of Chicago and
Pittsburg. II shall not be n smoke
dried, suffocatlng. unhealthy, dlrt-sprcad-
ing city II they An prevent II.
President Wilson says that the use OF
bitumlnous coal In the city has been
steadily Increasing since 1873. until now
II haa become an unbesr able nuisance.
He finds that the companies using the
coal srch as the Steam Heating Com
Iany, the New York Central and Iiud-
son River railroad and others, profess
willingness TO abate the nuisance but
say: SHOW us how TO do II. and we
will adopt such measures MS you pro-
pose" Eat President Wilson declares
that those who create the nuisance must
find the means of correcting II them
selves. one thing IL certain, that the
evils resulting from the use of soft
coal must he stopped, or the Health
Department will proceed against those
who cause the nuisance.
The pubic health Is the first and fore
most cons Iteration, and 1t Is to be hope
that the health authorities will adhere
firmly to the position they have taken.

Etiquette and Bald Heads.

To the Editor:
My object In writing you Is to advocate rad.
teal change In modern etiquette. I want to do
away with the custom Of taking on the hat to
ladies In Winter. Now. Mr.. Editor. believe me
when l say I have a profound respect for the
ladies. but nothing make me believe that
raising ny hat to a young lady either nstters
the young lady or indicates the esteem or love
! bear her. The custom Is what sydney Smith
would call "a folly sanctioned by antiquity" II

bald and when li' my hat TO a young lady on
a cold Winters night q chill passes over my
scalp that makes me believe am somewhcrc's

cold BY such operation. and then could not
take on my hat 10 any more young ladies. That
would be n bad thing for certain people. dis.

OF especial note. Two seen this past

still firm upon its base, and is made en-

ter could be desired, and the many wom-
en- who shortly will be seeking Christ

will do well to bear It in mind. The other
is more delicate. both in color and mate

lady's use. 1t is made OF fine African
grass and cellulold. and is dainty as can
be. While at the same time 1t provides

the striving nations dearly.
