Because money due a playwright may
be attached by his creditors; but these
authors tickets have long ago been de-
cided to be personal privileges not at

Overcoat Colds.
From the London Mail


That overcoats are responsible for many
colds has long been suspected The suspi-
sion has now been confirmed by the per-
fectly scientific explanation of a medical
man. When thick overcoat is worn, he

body Is prevented from escaping. 1t COL

wearer is In the position Of butter cooler
surrounded by damp CLOTH The heat of
his body Is conducted away in large guam
titles. and he suffers sudden and severe
chill. To this are due many colds, as well
as lumbagO. rheumatism and neuralgia.
AS q rule the Overcoat is taken or at the
worst possible time-that is, when exercise
has ceased. The routine for many men Is:
Breakfast In warm room; quick walk
In heavy Overcoat: arrival at q cold and
draughty office in state of perspiratiOn: :
removal OF the oyercoat. and a fit of the
shivers. To avoid these results several
courses are open. Firstly, one might ad-
Vantageously rely for protection from the
cold On warm Woolen underclothing. II
one Is young and robust It is not neces-
sary to wear an overcoat at all. Then the
evaporation Of moisture will go on gradu-
ally. and there will be no chill. Another
plan Is to wear one heavy walking coat
and change 1t for q lighter coat indoors
This Is an Ideal arrangement from hygi-
enic pOiilt of view. But II the day Is ex-
ceptionaIly cold light and porous over
coat may be safely worn.

Scientific Marching.
From the London Telegraph.


Some of the hardest work ever done by
troops Is in route marching. Our soldiers
on the spacious veldt have known much of
1t. Two well-known German savants, Prof
Zuntz of Berlin and DR.. Schumburg Of
Hanover, have just made public the results
of systematic inquiries on this subject,
which seem to deserve the attention of all
army authorities. The professors con-

dents, to determine 1.-The limit Of weight

meters-say 15la miles-and bore knapsa cks
with loads of :2 27 and 81 kilos-about 49,
80 and 6S pounds, respectively-keeping up
the same pace. and with only short inter-

the load is raised beyond 81 kilOs perma-

Smallpox in London.
From the Lancet.


The records of the metropolitan asylums
board provide useful material for the pur-
poses Of comparison. Between the years
1884 and 1900, inclusive, 1890 cases Of
smallpox were received into their hospitals
and 2. 1913 persons were employed therein.
OF these II contracted smallpox. Of whom
Is were not reyaccinated until after they
had joined the hospital ships. while 4 were
workmen who escaped medical observation:
During the past year not q single case of
this disease has occurred among the staff
OF the hospitals. A concluding paragraph
in the report Of the statistical committee is
an extract from a report published in 1872.
This report states that out of upward of
IA 500 cases of smallpox received into the
hospitals only 4 well-authenticated cases
were treated In which revaccination had
been properly performed. Without the aid
of the public sanitary authorities and med
ical practitioners can do but little, but with
ready cooperation the prevalence of small
pox could be largely reduced.
