zeHs according to an executive order
issued today by President Taft amend
ing the regulations governing the
practice Of medicine which had de-

Knack was closeted with Mcdonnell

wards of an hour. At the close OF the
conference, Capt. Mcdonnell told The
Times that Knack revealed but little;
that he simply gave the names OF a
couple of others alleged to have been

investigate before We know whether
the information is worth anything"
Pending the investigation, Judge

VICTIMS OF FASHION.

Doctors have recently testified,
with rather an unusual degree of
unanimity, that women in these
days do not dress warmly enough;
that neurasthenia is often the re-
suit of wearing clothing Of insuf-
ficient thickness. 1t is not power
ty, they say, but style that causes
the iiffiuliy. Women can not i'm
itate the sylph-like maiden of the
fashion plate and wear heavy I'M
derwear aud thick dresses. Fash
ion, with beautiful disregard for
the changing seasons, demands
gauzy stockings, low shoes, decol-
lete gowns aud short sleeves. The
result is too often pneumonia or
an exhaustion of vitality and nerve
force IN the effort to keep warm.
The criticism sounds amazingly
like good common sense. Woman
may protest that she does not feel
cold, but the chances are that she
is giving her body an unnecessary
amount of trouble to keep warm.
