seats with the air Of vel-brcd girls At Eighty
ninth street an old woman. evidently about
eighty or eighty.two years, entered, and as there
we're no vacant seats to be had she sto,d, as II
happened before these young ladies. And would
you believe 1t. not man In that part Of the

but . while, when the falrer OF these two ladies
arose and offered her seat with weli-bred
courtesy. She thanked the girl, and after a
while asked her where Wall street was. She an
swered with a smile. She would be pleased to
show her. as she vas going to pass through
that street. At Hanover Square she assisted the
old woman to slight, also to descend the stairs

One thing upon which all medical au-
thorities are agreed, is that children
should not habitually sleep with adults.
That the custom is extremely harmful
to the children Is evident, even though
our limited knowledge of the mysteries
of life may not enable us to demonstrate
In Just what manner the electrical or
nervous forces may be affected. Does
this apply to the babes? Certainly, af-
ter the first few days, during which
the child should be kept close to its
mothers body for the sake Of the
warmth which is desirable. But within
a few days the little body is capable of
supplying its own warmth, and its place
is then in the little bed or crib, where it
may be master Of its own field. Above
all things, avoid the habit which many
parents have of placing the child be-
tween them in the same bed; to say
nothing OF the danger Of heavy sleeper
rolling upon the tiny form, the sanitary
condition is about the most harmful
imaginable.

Worse Than Drink,

To the Editor:
To Charicy-"Give them up" A word Of warn
ing to cigarette smokers: Talking from expert
ence the cigarette is doing more harm to the
youth at the present time than all other evils
combined 1t ruins many boy mentally and
physically. His intellectual powers go up with
the smoke. Ills lungs are weakened by the
effects OF the poisonous nicotine. l would rather
give my son poison to kill him instantaneously
than to have him smoke cigarettes. Drink is bad
enough. but cigarettes much worse and kill
quicker. There is not one In thousand who
have smoked cigarettes for three or more years
that have strong lungs have known cases
where the lungs have been eaten away. Many a
youth will keep on smoking these vile things till
a nicotine ball will appear In his throat, and
finally the lungs go into decay. and certain death
follows 1t. May God help our youths to do some
thing against this terrible vice.

Up to date the Sick Babies Fund has
received s2o,726 from the people. On Sat
urday 1921 70 was contributed.
The enthusiasm of the charitable sup
porters Of this Fund has not subsidized
and 1t Is possible that 5000 will be
added before the Fund closes.
The free doctors maintained by this
charity Will continue their visits to the
tenements for several weeks yet. They
knock at every door and inquire after
the health Of the children. If any child
is sick or hungry, or needs clothing, the
doctor supplies the want. Even adults
found sick or in distress are cared for.
The Fund has ministered to thousands
during the Summer. 1t has saved al
most as many lives as 1t has received
dollars. The free doctors are the body
guard of the poor. Thousands of moth
ers' prayers bless them and the people
who give the money to sustain this

To Prepare Fine Herbs"

Fines herbes. according to the best
French authorities. as commonly needed
for garnitures and sauces, form the most
ordinary mixture in use for culinary
purposes, and are prepared as follows:
Use the parlngs Of mushrooms (Which
have probably been needed for some gar
nish). chop them up fine and squeeze
them IN cloth, so as to extract all the
moisture; carefully wash about an equal
quantity of parsley. wiring It dry and
chop It; do the same with half as much
Of shallots. Put into a small saucepan
