 SOCIETY.
N 0A . = A.ostas-,

A sensible man will certainly bar his house against the entrance of a vic- tim of q contagious disease. and yet he will allow shis women to wear trailing skirts, which may any day. carry the germs of dozen diseases into his house.
 How is it possible that women can so degrade themselves as to allow a part of their wearing apparel to be Fdraesed through the poisonous dirt of our sidewalks? Some will lift their skirts while, crossing a street, and still
 the dirt of the street Is probably by far not so dangerous as the dirt of the sidewalk, which, mixed up as it Is with more to be dreaded. as 1t may contain the germs of many deadly diseases. A result of queer reasoning is the rainy day skirt! In a rainy day the trailing skirt is only dangerous to its wearer and to the members of her household. but on dry day every one who has to be where women abound is concernedS and 1t is, therefore, more important that women should wear short skirts on dry days than on rainy ones.
 As said above, no begging or reason- ing will do any good. women will per- sist in being slaves to this repulsive fashion, and nothing remains to be done but force them to abandon 1t. Let the Board of Health declare the trailing skirt . public nuisance, and a danger to the health of us all (which it sfnQuestionably isl, and then forbid 1t to be worn in the streets or public places. A number Of arrests and fines seem to be the only means of ridding us of this barbarfc fashion, which is a disgrace to our times.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
The Trailing Skirts.

w q. Theo Kruger of New York writes to The Evening Post letter on fhe subject of Tuberculosis ana tne Trailing Skirt. He says;
 There are from 25,000 to 30,OO0 con rr,ynntives in New York city. Eacn vear there are s,100 deaths from con snmption. Promiscuous expectoratior a,y consumptives is the chief factor III fhe spread of the disease.
 Statements like the above, how often do we meet them in the daily papers! what a misery do these figures sug- .-xesti Can anybody imagine the suner- snTss of these victims of this terrible disease? Should you not suppose that every being who has a heart for his feiiownnen would avoid everything In his power that might increase the pos sibility of spreading this dreadful dis ease? Should you not think 1t impos- sfble that women could persist in doing a thing which could not be improved slpon if it had been invented by some enemy of humanity to spread this curse of mankind? And yet they do Il bv clinging to that filthy, abominable wes. murderous fashion of the trailing skirt.
 No invective is too strong to condemn This brutal fashion, that makes every woman a constant source of danger tC every one coming near her. No reason ing. no begging seems to have any eff feck in making a woman abandon thii derradine fashion. can except almos ss, xrown-up woman from guilt, be cause it does not differ much whether { Aekirt trails a foot or an inch-as sooi 9ns it touches the ground it is apt to sti 'fup and carry disease germs into houses

And Beneficial to All Growing
 Crops.
 The drought in this region, which was becoming quite serious. was very ef- fectually broken by the rains of Mon- day night. These rains. which were caused by a decided atmosphere de- pression that moved eastward over the Gulf States, were very general through out the cotton belt, but were heavy to excessive from Middle Mississippi through Alabama. Georgia. East Ten nessee and South Carolina. In Ala bama the average fall in twenty-four hours was 1.4S inches for eight stations; at Canton Ga, 5.1S inches was the to- tai rainfall. The rainfall over the wa tershed of the Coosa River averaged about two inches; this, together with the excessive fall around Canton, has started a rather rapid rise in the Coosa and Alabama, though, on account of the greater portion of the rainfall be- ing absorbed by the dry ground, no dangerous freshet Is expected.
 The rain is of untold value to the farmers; 1t will cause oats and wheat to fill out better, and will bring up much of the replanted corn and cotton which was seeded several weeks ago, and will revive the gardens.

CARE or THE FEET.

Foot baths of cool water into which . considerable amount of listerine, half cupful at least. is put. will be found Co be q great relief to tender feet in the spring walking, says an exchange. "A chiropodist who gave this advice says further that the nails should al- ways be cut straight across to the Ieya1 of the top of the toe, as a pre- ventive of narrowing nails. They will never grow in if the corners are left untouched. unless the shoe Is worn en- fireiy too short. "Darned stockings, too" he said sententiousiy. keep me in business. Walking, at its best. is hard upon the feet of city dwellers, who must tramp these unyielding psvements. The tiniest darn frets and rubs the skin and is likely to create an inflammation which it will take professional treatment to relieve. Al- most as bad as the alarmed stocking is the stocking with a hole in 1t. Few persons think of the comfort of their feet until the discomfort rouses them IS desperate measures. In point of fact no part of the human anatomy renays care so well -as the feet, ana no part more promptly and painfully reseuts abuse.
