The Charm of Kissing.
from the Baltimore American.


Once more the warning goes out that
kissing is dangerous. This time it is
voiced by Miss Ellen NJ. La Motto, the
ranking officer in DR.. Bosley's corps of
fair and accomplished nurses The con-
tact of lip and lip, says Miss La Motto,
affords an ideal opportunity for the voy-
aging of pathogenic organisms. Most OF
these germs. when they enter the body
at all. do SO by way of the mouth. OF
such sort are the germs of diphtheria,
tuberculosis. meningitis. influenza, the
simple cold and all the familiar juvenile
plaques. Therefore. 1t is thoughtless and
often cruel to kiss, and sometimes sui
cidal to be kissed.
Thus speaks science, and it's mandate
should be observed as to babies and by
invalids. But the great majority of folks,
no doubt, will keep on kissing We have
often wondered at the enormous popu-
larity Of the exercise. Why do people
kiss? The act itself is ridiculous as a
spectacle and unsatisfying as an amuse-
ment. Its sole physical accompaniment
psychic side 1t is frequently embarra ssing,
particularly If an unsupported audience
reveals itself, say, by satiric Whoops and
catcalls. 1t has none of the charms of
other pleasures, such as solfegsio eating
will neither build up the anemic nor
soothe the neurasthenic.
But still 1t thrives. and no jeremiads on
its perils will ever work its abolition.
The man who makes practice of kissing
the fair sex is a man attracted rather
than repealed by danger. He knows that
every kiss he steals is full of fearful
hazards. The girl herself may black his
eye, stab him with a hatpin or call for
the police, and then again she may
choose to regard his idle favor as an
offer of marriage and accept him before
he can escape. Yet again. her father or
brothers, detecting him with his arm
around her neck and his eyes gazing
into her forehead, may rush in and hail
him as relative. touching him for small
loans, calling him by his first name and
Selling extensively upon all the other
familiarities which relatives-in-law affect.
Finally, the mother Of the girl may knit
him pulse-warmers and send him anna
teur remedies for his rheumatism and
red nose. and her little sisters may gig
gle every time they see him.

PROTESTS EFFECTIVE.
Shipping Interests Prevent Changes
in Coast Lights.

The protests of shipping interests
against the removal OF the Cape Charles
lightsfdp to a point farther out to sea
and also against the removal of the red
sector from the lighthouse on Cape Hen
ry have been considered by the light
mouse board and 1t has been determined
10 make no change in the lights. Capt.
w. B. Caperton. L. S. N. secretary of
the lighthouse board, has written the
president of the Baltimore Chamber of
Commerce as follows regarding the mat
ter:
Referring to your letter of December
81, 1909, relative to the position of Cape
Charles light vessel and disseminating the
red sector OF Cape Henry light, the board
states that the consensus of opinion OBJ
tanned from all maritime interests involV-
ed as shown by petitions, protests and
voluminous correspondence. is strongly
against any move from its present po-
Sition of the Cape Charles light vessel.
The board will therefore make no
change in the present position of this
light vessel
Capt. Caperton writes further as fol-
lows:
Referring to your letter relative to dis
continuing the red sector of Cape Henry
light, the board states that it has decided
that no change shall he made in the red
sector in the Cape Henry light at the
present time

Cooks and Typhoid.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

From the Milwaukee WISCONSIN,
Prof. Vincent of the Val de Grace Mill
tary Hospital has made report to the
French Academy of Medicine in which he
declares that one Of the chief causes OF
epidemics of typhoid fever Is the neglect
of cooks and kitchen workers to wash
their hands. He says they communicate
the disease by washing meats, vegetables
and dishes with hands on which typhoid
bacilli swarm. Water and milk he be-
lieves, are not great carriers of germs.
as is supposed, but the human hands that
carry the water and milk are. Physicians
everywhere will do we'll to investigate
the origin of every case of typhoid COM
ing to their knowledge, and employers
everywhere will do well to insist upon the
precautions assuring disinfection Of the
hands of cooks and solutions.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
Washington Butcher Has Ex-

Great Advance in Value of Farm
Products in 1910.
PRODUCER HAS PAID FOR IT
Farmer Is Man Who Reaps Benefit,
in Opinion of Dealer in

NOTHING DOING IN SUMMER
PRODUCER HAS PAID FOR IT

BY WILLIAM F. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
NEW YORK January 2S 1910.
Secretary Wilson has found that the
butchers of Washington make an average
profit of AZ per cent upon their retail
sales. which is in excess Of that en-
joyed by retailers in almost every other
city in the country
But there is something to be said on
the other side. The Washington butchers
explain that it is necessary for them to
charge higher prices than elsewhere be-
ca use the season at the capital lasts only
six or seven months, and they have to
allow sufficient margin to cover rent
and other expenses during the other five
months of the year, just as is done by
dealers at summer and winter resorts.
They claim that their expenses continue
just the same during the summer months.
when half the population of Washington
deserts the city for cooler climates. This
is undoubtedly true.
Half the retail butcher shops are closed
from July to October. Several Wash
ngton market men have stores at sum-
mer resorts, which are open four or five
months in the year when business in
Washington is dull.
At the same time, any one who will
visit the Center market during the sum-
mer months will find the usual activity.
1t is only the shops in the Fashionable
parts of the city that are closed during
the summer.
Yet it is only fair that this fact be
taken into consideration. The average
profit for the year should be estimated
instead of the profit of the winter months.

Comment of Dairyman.

George Ehrat of Chicago, who has had
long experience in handling dairy pro-
ducts, says:
TT is a remarkable fact that, at this
time, when everybody, from the Pres
ident down to the worlkingman is cry
ing about the high price of food. and
Congress is getting ready to make an in
vestigation of the causes therefor. our
wise lawmakers are unable to realize
that they are themselves largely to
blame
During the last eight or ten years
thew have passed many laws that are
calculated to advance the price of food,
and have created trust and monopoly
far more dangerous to the people than
the Standard Oil Company or any other
corporation.
This is the farmers trust. It has
caused an advance In every kind of food
and every kind of agricultural product.
For example, ten years ago every
laboring man could buy butter compare
lively cheap. In some creameries, es-
peciaIly in northern Illinois, about three
pounds of butter fat were separated from
the milk and from one to one and Il
half pounds left in the milk. The butter
fat thus extracted from the milk was
substituted by an artificial fat, the neu-
trail. which is perfectly harmless and
wholesome.
after this, cheese was made which
contained all the necessary fat which
full cream cheese should contain. This
cheese was a wholesome article and could
always be sold at a very reasonable
price.
Il admit that many frauds were COM
mitted by unscrupulous dealers, who sold
this article as full cream cheese. If the
cheese was properly made, it was hard
ton between this filled cheese and full
cream cheese.

W0MAN'S TRAGIC DEATH
MRS. IDA GEIER FATALLY
BURNED WHEN ALONE.
Had Made Intellectual Effort to Ex-

Children Came.

With her night clothes burned off and

posed she tried yainly to fight the flames,
Mrs. Ida Geier. widow of Bernard Geier.
seyenty-tve years of age, was found dead
at her home, 726 18th street northeast,
this morning.
Mrs. Geier had resided alone for some
time. her daughter, Mrs. Kelly. who re-
sided next door. at 72S 13th street nort II
east, being accustomed to go into her
mothers house each evening and prepare
her for bed. After rendering this as
sistance about 100 O'Clock last evening
Mrs. Kelly returned to her own home.
Mrs. Kelly proceeded, bout 6: 80 O'Clock
this morning to Mrs. Geier's house for the
purpose of fixing the fires and preparing
breakfast for her mother. AS she was
about to ascend the front steps Mrs.
Kelly noticed smoke pouring from the
upper second-Story window. Not stopping
to Investigate, she ran to the home of
her brother, Caspar T.. Geier. 1872 Ill
street northeast, to report the occur
renee.
Body Found on Floor.
Mr. Geier accompanied his sister TO tie
house and on entering the front door
found the place full of smoke. Cropping
HIS way up the lTOllL stairs, ne IOn1lU lie
body of hts mother on the hall floor near
the bathroom.
The ambulance of the Casualty Hospital
was summoned, but the surgeon in charge
realized at a glance that Mrs. Geier was
dead
Mr.. Geier found the bed in his mothers
room in flames. Several members of No.
10 engine company eXtinguished the
blaze.
The members of the family were unable
to account for the fire. 1t is supposed
that Mrs. Geier had struck a match
some time during the night and that the
sparks were communicated to the mat
tress, and before she could arise from
the bed her night clothes had caught
fire. 1t is thought Mrs. Geier had later
gotten out of bed and gone to the bath
room in an effort to find something with
which to eXtinguish the flames and had
secured the towel. but the flames had
evidently by that time enveloped her.
