A Timely Suggestion.

The present rate of death
among the negroes of this Sec
ton from tuberculosis is becom-
ing alarming, and we are of the
opinion the board Of Mayor and
Aldermen should take some steps
looking to the appointment of a
health officer with instructions
to look into the matter. Some
steps should be taken to segre-
gate the infected ones as far as
practical from coming in contact
with people not infected, es-
pecially children. That the
disease is t~ransmissable from
contact for any length of time
with those infected is undis-
putable. Mothers will leave their
children in charge of nurses
while they attend to their house
hold duties, go shopping, tc
church or to their club. These
nurses come in close contact
with their little charges, and as
is too often the case, will caress
them, one of the quickest anc
most certain ways of transmit
ting the disease. Most every
white family has a servant ire
ouently, if not all the time,
around the house and never know
when one is infected until toe
late, and perhaps the germs have
been scattered all over the place
from excretions from the lungs
tuberculosis is fatal to the ne
GRO. and when once infected,
their days are numbered. As
they are the greatest people on
earth to congregate and pile ur
together in close, lily ventilated
quarters, the disease is easily
scattered among them. Some
means should be adopted where

Filings Look Black

MY utaI MISS OOOh.
Last month l got my front teeth
filed with gold by a ~so-called reliable
dentist. / paid q very high price for
the same and gthe gold never shines.
1t looks very black. Now. Miss Doom,
what would you advise me to do? or
course. L don want the gold to shine
for show, but | do not like to have 1t
look so dark after paying the high
price for same.
The gold is in four different places
on the front teeth. Is there anything
] could put on same to take that dark
look off? When I look at the gold
with a mirror close to my mouth it
looks all right, but when / stand two
feet away from the mirror you would
think the filings We're four large
cavities.
Now, Miss Doom, I don't want to
trouble you too much, but please an
swer this in Wednesday nights Star
If you possibly can. Thanking you
in advance, I beg 10 remain,
Respectfully. NJ. j. G.
Don't blame the dentist. as in all
probability the fault is not his. The
fact that the gold looks bright when
you hold the mirror close to your
mouth shows that the black appear,
ance is caused not by furnishing, but
the shadow of one filling falling on
the other. | had the same experience
with two front teeth in which the fill
ings faced each other and looked like
two cavities. l finally had to have
the gold filings removed and some
sort of cement or enamel filling put
in their places.
Often some of the acid in the mouth
works on the gold and darkens it, but
in thai case it looks dark even when
one is close to it.

Submitting a Manuscript
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please advise me through
your column at your earliest oppor-
tunity in which way to submit a
manuscript to publisher, in person,
when that is as convenient, or by
mail? Thanking you in advance,
1t is rather difficult to submit any
thing to a publisher in person, as he
is generally surrounded by a body
guard, whose aim it is to see that his
peace is undisturbed. However, if
you wish to talk over your manu-
script with him, it would do no harm
to try for a personal interview. Have
the manuscript properly marked and
the requisite number of stamps at
tached, so that there may be no
trouble about it's return. Unless there
is something special about which you
wish to interview the publisher it will
be just as well for you to send the
manuscript by mail, as the chances
are that, even if you leave it in per-
son, it will be put aside to go through
the regular course of reading.

A GRACEFUL EVENING GOWN
BY MAY MANTON

The evening gown made with 4
tunic is always attractive. This sea
son it is being extensively worn and
the tunics are made from all sorts Of
beautiful materials. Net that is en-
broidered with beads is a favorite
lace is much used and all the lovely
soft silks are much liked. This tunic
is a most attractive one, made oil
simple lines suggestive OF the Grsek
idea. In the illustration the joe
portion and the trimming on .glrf
portion are made from he-d-embroid-
cred net, while the founcA OF the
tunic is of plain net and the skirt
and guimpe are of satin. The edge o.
fur gives a very distinctive finish Tor
fur is one of the most fashionable
Of all trimmings just now. The sim.
pie skirt is cut in two pieces, ana ths
suimpe is made in kimono style with
the sleeves making a part Of It. The
combination of materials illustrated
is a good one. but there are man
others that can be used. Bead em-
broideries are extremely FASHIONABLE
on fabrics of all weights. This tunit
made Of net with a border OF bueie
trimming would be very beautiful
while the same tunic made OF velxel
treated in a similar way would be-
come quite different, yet equally al
tractive. The tunic OF the lighter ma
terial seems more appropriate for tar
younger contingent, velvet for Ia
more mature.

There is no nation in the Worlo
which has such perfect respect for
food as the French people. 1t is I'M
possible to describe the dignihed 1eei-
ing one has for food when living with

in the preparation and serving of 1t

respect" 1t is an art and a pleasure
with them.
1t makes no difference whether you
are in a hotel or private home, the
same atmosphere of art and refine
ment and daintiness surrounds the.
kitchen and dining-room.
The main thought in cooking is to
preserve the original favor of the
particular dish being cooked, and not
disguise it with high seasonings. Par
ticularly is this true of vegetables.

were fortunate enough to be ms of

Qarger than cherries), flowers, lake
and apple trees. under which were
tables where we had our French les
sons, two or more a day, and then
after 4 O'Clock tea walked to the
nearby villages.
The roads were perfect and the
ripened wheat fields with scarlet pop
pies and cornfiowers added much to
the beauty and pleasure. We re-
turned for our dinner at half-after
Z and there was where we had the
opportunity of learning much of
vegetables perfectly cooked and
served. We not only enjoyed the eat
ing but had entree at any time to
the cuisine or kitchen to see thia
most artistic work done.
