Chief Welsh to Garry Out
Instructions Of the
Fire Committee

Chief Engineer John Z. Welsh, of the
Fire Department, is determined to carry
out to the letter the instructions given
him by the Fire Committee of Council
regarding the new companies organized
in the Ninth ward.
When the committee met Chief Welsh
appeared before it and asked what he
should do in case the Rescue, Indepen-
dence or Brandywine companies respond
to an alarm of fire. The chief was given
instructions to the effect that if any Of
the new organizations appear at a fire
and attempt to go into service he had
power to prevent them and put them of
the premises in the same manner as he
would an ordinary trespasser as Council
had decided TO recognize none of the com
panies at present
In speaking of the subject today, Chief
Welsh said: Il shall carry out the or
ders of the Fire Committee as they were
given me, because it is my duty to do so
1t is a hardship, know, as l do not want
to be mixed up in any controversy be
tween the companies, but l must do as
am instructed. l shall show no partiality
None of them will be permitted to put d
stream of water on burning building.

Ninth ward was refused permission &

Care Of the Hands in Winter

Many people are afflicted with chapped
and roughened hands in winter. This is
because any extreme temperature, either
hot OF cold, is not good for them. Warm
water is more cleansing than cold water.
A dozen drops of the tincture of benzoin
added to a basin Of warm water is bene-
fetal to the hands. CASTLE or one of the
fine toilet soaps should be used. A gen
erOus lather should be made and the
hands thoroughly rubbed with it. A rub
ber flesh brush is a great comfort. A
little bran or oatmeal if put in the water
has a softening effect, and makes the skin
velvety and pliable. Almond meal is also
excellent for this purpose. Care in dry
ing the hands is essential to their good
condition, especially in winter. A soft
towel will gather up all the moisture and
should be used in between the fingers of
each hand so that every part may be
thoroughly dried. After drying the hands
it is a good plan to rub in a little cold
cream or almond oil, after which, if they
are particularly sensitive, powder may be
busted over them.

War Against the Corset

All feminine Paris and consequently
the whole world of femininity has been
stirred by a law against corsets which
the eminent French physician, DIR. Phil
ippe Marechal, is trying to have passed.
The proposed law is divided into three
articles and is as follows:
Article 1 forbids any woman under 80
to wear a corset of any description. Any
woman convicted Of doing so shall be
punished by three months of imprison-
ment. If the delinquent should be a
minor, her parents or guardians as well
shall be condemned to pay a fine Of from
100 francs to 1000 francs.
Article III permits any woman over 80
to wear any corset she wishes.
Article III provides for the most rigor-
Gus formalities surrounding the manu-
facture and selling Of corsets. For ex-
ample, one Of its provisions is that every
one licensed to sell corsets shall be
obliged to take the name, address and age
of every buyer, and shall be subject to
fine and confscation of business in case
Of an illegal sale.
DIR. Marechal has been giving public
lectures against the corset, during winch
he made some sweeping statements. He
claims that out Of a hundred young wo-
men who wear corsets, only thiry retain
perfect health. The lecturer also con-
demns high heels, pointed toes, tight
gloves, wells and long skirts. Heavy hats
are detrimental to the development Of the
brain. The Uranium of the MerovingiaI
women, he asserts, had a capacity Of
1883 cubic centimetres, that Of the mod
ern French woman has a capacity OF
only 1887 cubic centimetres. This loss
the doctor asserts, is to be attributed to
the habit of wearing bulky headdresses.
