CAUSES INFLUENZA

The custom OF turning up the trousers
in damp weather presumably originated
IN the metropolis Of Great Britain.
It's practice there has been universal
for several generations, and has been
initiated by Americans affecting Eng
Hsh styles. Years ago, when the fashion
Of trousers too long for the legs of the
wearers, with the deliberate Intention
that they should be peTpetuallv turned
up, was first introduced, the humorous
para graphers said that AngiOmanIacs
who adopted il We're going about with
their trousers turned UP because ii was
raining in London.
From London, however, comes now a
warning voice 20 the effect that turning
up the trousers IS a practice prejudicial
70 health. London is suffering from an
epidemic Of Influenza, and a physician
connected with one of the great hospi-
GALS suggests as among causes of the
outbreak the habit Of turning up the
trousers. At this season. he argues, the
system has not become hardened TO the
dampness of the lower extreInities to
which every Londoner must grow accus-
toned IN winter. and the turned up
edges of the trousers sOggy with rain.
