CONSIDER HEALTH
Meeting Held to Discuss Meas
ures to Prevent Spread of
Contacion in City.
PHYSICIANS WILL COOPERATE
Committee TO Work With School Au-
thorities-Dr. Myers Gives Report
on the Epidemic.

meeting of the health department
and the physicians of the city was
leld yesterday at y O'Clock at the city
council rooms, for the purpose of eX-
changing ideas on the prevention of
diseases and devising ways for the
handling OF contagious diseases in gen
eral. The meeting resulted in a de
cision TO appoint committee of ply
sicians to cooperate with the school
authorities and the health department
in an effort TO prevent the spread of
an epidemic.
In different parts of the city and in
all the places of amusement, measures
have been taken TO prevent the spread
of scarlet fever and diphtheria. The
vaudeville houses are being fumigated
after each performance. and if the con
tagion spreads farther those in control
of other places of public gathering will
be asked to fumisate the buildings
thoroughly. Many cases have been
found to have been contracted in places
Of this character. Superintendent II
B. Hayden in behalf of the school au,
thorities of the city. said that they
would cooperate with the health depart
ment to stamp out the disease, but that
so far it hardly appears that the schools
need be closed. The pupils in the
schools are being carefully watched
and at any time a child is taken sick
he is sent home and the case thor
oughly investigated for any trace of
the contagiOn. The different rooms in
the school are fumigated thoroughly
three or four times a week. and every
possible means of preventing the dis
eases is being taken.
It was suggested at the meeting that
the pupils in the schools be thoroughly
examined by the different physicians
in the city. The physicians regarded
this as unnecessary and very diff
cult task. as there are about 5000 pu-
pills enrolled in the schools and - ply
sicians in the city thus allowing 81
pupils to every physician.

ers, who acted as chairman of the
meeting. read the report which he pre-
scented to the city council at the meet
ing Saturday afternoon, and also re-
ported the measures that have been
taken to prevent the spread of the cpl
demic. DR.. Myers report shows that
there are ~ cases reported during the
month of January, IL of which were
diphtheria and the remaining 81 scar
let fever His report also shows the
number of cases reported in the differ
ent wards of the city as follows: First
ward. ,; Second ward, 4; Third ward
rs; Fourth ward, .; Fifth ward, A.;
Sixth ward. 2: and in the Seventh
ward. 10. Two of the cases in the
Third ward were not reported until
after they were fully developed He
also stated that 20 per cent of the
cases have been adults, while few have
been in children under 10 years of
age. This. DR.. Myers states, indicates
that the disease is not being spread
through the contact of children in
schools, but through exposure to the
contagion in places of public gather
ing. places of employment, and in pub
lie conyeyances. The street car COM
pany has been ordered to fumigate the
street cars to prevent as far as posi-
BILE the spread OF the epidemic through
this medium.
May Need Guards.
DIR. Myers stated that difficulty is eX-
perienced in enforcing the quarantine
regulations, and that. Notwithstanding
the strict orders issued by the health
department. members of families where
there is scarlet fever and diphtheria,
have left their homes without the re-
CURED permission. Mayor McCaskrin
stated that if necessary force of spe-
cial police will be appointed to serve
as guards and enforce the orders of
the department in this respect While
in attendance at the meeting were OF
the opinion that strict measures should
be taken to prevent a more serious
spread of the disease. This view is
taken in belief that such measures will
make even more severe ones later I'M
necessary.
Council Approves Measures.
At the meeting of the city council
Saturday afternoon, at which Dr. Ny
ers' report was submitted, the council
received the report and endorsed the
effort to prevent any spread of con
taSfous disease. particularly scarlet
fever and diphtheria.

senseless smart Women.
Among the most aggravating things
to deal with in life is the talented or
smart woman who has very little COM
mon sense.
There is the young girl, In dire need
Of money, but with clever talent Tor
making sketches that would make her
Independent. A friend, after infinite
trouble, gets her an order from lead
ing caterer for dinner cards, that
might have been the beginning OF an
artistic career and would have kept the
wolf from the door at the start, but
the young woman turns up her nose
at the very suggestion.
There is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers Of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatroniZed. A
good samaritan of a woman induces
society friend whose work alone means
a fortune, to try her, but the sense
less dressmaker does not keep her nrst
engagement and loses her opportunity.
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens Of people have moved heaven
and earth to get her position, ana
when she took it put on such top lofty
airs and discoursed so continually on
her past splendors and patronized he1
employers so until she made herself
uncomfortable and lost her place.
Everybody has had experiences of
like character and knows that the most
impossible and hopeless and discourage
ing and heart-breaking thing in the
world is to attempt to try to help these
smart women without sense. If you
are worrying along with any OF these
types Of senseless smart women drop
them like hotcakes, for you can never
hope to see any improvement in them.

and are boned with fine featherbone
strips to support them.
Omber taffeta or liberty is artistical-
ly used for the foundation of sheer
frocks. A skirt of gauze or chiffon, for
example, is made over a colored silk
barely tinted at the waist, but shading
to a much deeper hue at the skirt bot
tom.
Women with good figures still like
the corselet skirt. A smart suit recent
ly seen was In hop-green chiffon broad
cloth, worn with a wide-sleeved bolero,
embroidered and applied with stitched
strappings. With it was worn chemi-
settle of Alencon and Irish lace.
Little taffeta boleros in emerald
green, Havana brown, suede gray, etc.,
are much worn by Parisians over their
batistes, voiles, etc. The little coats
are very short and fitted, trimmed in

with one large button at the bust line
The craze for every one of the khaki
shades exceeds all expectations. They
raise out Of the golden brown, the
golden brown out of the nut brown

the palest biscuit tohes which make

plain silks, IL in Rajahs, Of the natural
silk color (Which Is one of the shades
in vogue), are to be the travelling COS
tunes most in demand.
The development Of green silk ging-
ham in jumper suit is worthy Of men
ton. The dress was made In two sep
arate pieces, waist and skirt, and the
waist was outlined with a band Of
white silk about one inch wide. It was
sleeveless with a surpHce front, the
fullness being drawn IN under white
shoulder straps The guimpe was OF
soft, thin lace. The skirt Of nine CORES
looked neat In wide plaits, which were
stitched only short distance from the
waist, enough to give smooth effect

explained that she had no family nor

she could make extra to support the
