set up disease.
Tuberculosis and Alcohol.
Take, for instance. the scourge
of tuberculosis. During the last
ten years the death rate from con-
sumption has been declining. In
London the decline was 10 per cent,
in Paris, 3 per cent. 1t is significant
in regard to these figures that in
this country Great BRITTANY the
drink bill has during the same per-
iod dropped from $3.50 per head
Of the population to $16,-55 per
head, whereas in France it is very
different. In this country with the
decline Of the consumption of alco-
hol has come a lower death-rate
from tuberculosis. We do not say
this was the sole cause, but we do
remark that the two things have
gone on together.
Better housing, clothing, educa-
ton, feeding. and conditions of life
generally have had great dealsto
do with the fall in the death rate.
At the bottom of all, however, we
have the gradual diminution in the
amount of money spent on drink.
This is tremendous gain to the
nation.
Must Gust the T. BIS.
I'VE as medical men have to do
all we can to point out to the people
that there is a very direct connec-
ton between tuberculosis and the
amount of alcohol consumed. To
get rid Of tuberculosis we must, of
course, get rid Of the tubercle
bacillus. The bacillus can only do
it's work when placed in favorable
conditions, and alcohol has the fac
ulty Of tilling and manuring the
ground for its growth.
Were no alcohol in the soil, the
bacillus would fall on very stony
ground. By taking alcohol the
human being renders himself more
open to attack of diseases of various
kinds, and impairs his faculties
often to a slight degree, but suffi-
GENTLY to interfere with the powers
Of doing good work.
Alcohol, we are satisfied, is the
doctors worst friend, because the
doctor wants to Rget his patients
well. The total abstainer will get
well more quickly than if he takes
alcohol, and great many doctors
believe it now. More are coming to
believe it every day. Scientific

KANDY LITTLE
WINTER FROCkS
Gowns of Velvet Are Decid-
eddy In Favor With The
Parisiennes

Paris, Simple gowns of velvet
and cloth, designed to wear under
separate long coats of fur and vel
vet, are finding decided favor in the
eyes of Parisiennes.
Chic and practical are these little
frocks. which serve as we'll for aft
ernoon as for morning wear.
But first there is the warm, long
wrap to wear over such dress.
One is designed here of black vel
vet. 1t is cut on straight semifit-
ting lines. having long loose sleeves
and roomy shoulder space. making
it quite easy to slip on and off when
the wearer enters the house or
store.
What 1t Is Made OF
Broad revers and cuffs are of
ratine; the lining is soft peach-pink
! brocaded satin.
This order can be reversed, if de-
sired, on a coat. For instance,
have the coat itself made Of ratine,
which is serviceable cloth and very
popular this season. and the trim
mings Of velvet. Braid would add
charming touch to the revers and
cuffs. A coat of this sort is quite
correct for day and evening wear,
velvet being a good choice. The
trimming may vary to suit the taste.
Bright plaid silk or satin as a lin
ing and facing for revers and cuffs
makes a smart looking garment.
Accompanying Hats
A picture hat Of two toned felt is
shown, trimmed with a stiff up
standing aigrette directly in front
where the brim rolls back.
Black velvet and blue serge COM
bined make up the little indoor frock
on the next figure.
Sleeves and surplice body are cut
in one, and show small revers of
black velvet opening over vest of
white satin trimmed with buttons.
Buttons also are used on the skirt
over footband of velvet. A yoke
and high collar of tulle finish it at
the throat.
Hat Thimble Shaped
The hat is thimble shaped. Of blue
felt faced with white, and is trim
med with a large bow Of black vel
vet set well back on the left side.
Soft, supple black velvet is used
to fashion the next costume.
This is a 1-piece frock, made with
shaped tunic and opening on the
left side. where it fastens with large
buttons. The sleeves are very long.
close fitting and are cut with aslioht
bell shaped opening. with buttons as
trimming.
The sailor collar is made of satin.
as is the girdle. and the shaped bib
is Of white satin embroidered in
shades of blue.
Frock of Navy Blue Charmeue :
A big black satin hat, faced with
94
white. completes the attractive cos
tune.
The next frock is made of navy
blue charmeuse. trimmed down the
front with button molds covered

eases Now Regarded as Always Fa-
taI-NormaI, Healthy Persons Used
as Subjects.
A number of young men and wom-
en-, stenographers, bookkeeperS and
labOrers, through willingness to lend
their persons for experiment by the
Carnegie scientists, have made posi-
BILE some interesting investigations by
Professor Francis Gano Benedict, DR..
Thone M. Carpenter and others at the
Carnegie laboratory, Boston. The in
vestigations have partly solved many
long hidden secrets of the human
body. They virtually aim at the
greatest of all secrets-that Of the
union of mans soul and body and in
cidentally the discovery Of the means
whereby certain diseases now declar
ed incurable may no longer be neces-
sarily fatal.
The influence of the mind upon the
body is also being studied by means
of instruments so sensitive as to re-
cord change in the subjects interest
from one matter to another. This line
of observation is expected to demon
strate to a scientific nicely the value
of mental healing.
For their subjects the Carnegie sci
entists have found it necessary to go
outside the laboratory to doctors and
hospitals for sick people and to bust
ness houses, schools and elsewhere for
normal, healthy people.
Mrs. Florence Goodwin of Winthrop,
Mass, is one who has helped the Car
negie investigators in one of the most
interesting experiments.
Mrs. Goodwin spent several hours
scaled in boxlike calorimeter, having
refrained from eating anything for
about twenty hours before entering the
machine. There was just room enough
inside for her to sit comfortably with
out moving Across the arms of he
chair was a shelf with a book q nd
typewriter and several sheets Of Ia
per. Running from the calorimeter
and connecting with various instru-
ments were numerous wires and pipes.
After arriving at the laboratory Mrs.
Goodwin was weighed, and sort Of
stethoscope arrangement was put on
She then entered the calorimeter, and
it was closed and sealed so that no
air could penetrate inside except that
which was measured and sent in
through pipes.
The method of finding the energy
used by men or women under observa-
ton is by measuring the heat consump-
ton of the body first when it is at rest
and then in action. In Mrs. Goodwin's
case, for instance, the energy she used
in typewriting for two hours in terms
Of heat would have boiled about twen-
ty gallons of ice water.
DR.. Falta of Vienna made an unos-
tentatious trip to America for the ex-
press purpose Of observing the work
being done at the Carnegie laboratory.
Universities in Berlin, Copenhagen and
else there have also sent representa-
tives to see what is being done by Pro-
fessor Benedict and his assistants.
Among other things, tables are being
prepared at the laboratory showing
just how much energy is caused by
eating steak, eggs, fruit, and so on.

Stitched bands over the shoulders
that end at the raised waist line cor
respond with the band about the
skirts hem The yoke, collar, and
fluffy cuffs are Of talle. A band of
black velvet at the top of the collar

individuality to the gown. This
same design can be carried out in
satin, foulard or any Of the soft fin
ished silks.
Taupe Good Color
Taupe velvet, which, by the way,
will be much worn this season, is
used for the fifth gown. 1-piece

A dainty little vest of white satin
is set in the bodice. and the collar is

The hat is Of black velvet, having
a crown band and long outstanding
plume Of white on the side.
One of Blue Serge
The last gown is of blue serge,
with a white satin collar and under
cuffs, embroidered in bright shades
of floss.
The yoke, collar and slightly full

net.
The hat matching the costume is
one of the popular fabric models in
blue and white, with blue wing on
one side.
Even the handbag matches, for it
is made of white satin, embroidered
in the same way as the collar and
