Stamping Out Diseases.

Smallpox and yellow fever are now al
most unknown. SO infrequently do cases
occur. Malaria and typhoid fever are
passing. bubonic plague and cholera are
being limited by control Of their means of
dissemination. Public sanitation has
been able to cope with these diseases. We
can give people water free from disease
germs to drink. We can dispose of gar
bage and sewage to prevent spread of dis
ease. We can vaccinate against small
pOx and typhoid fever. We can cover
our ponds with oil as protection
against the carriers of malaria and yell
low fever. We can quarantine against
contagious diseases like scarlet fever and
diphtheria. But we have not yet sue
ceeded in coping with the social diseases.
In the light of modern science the sex
ual health of individuals is a matter of
public concern. Hence the conviction of
thoughtful men and women that the
policy Of silence and secrecy on sexual
matters must be replaced by one of edu-
cation.

HATS OF FASHIONABLE FAVOR
Soft Crowns Have Caught the Fancy
of Parisians, and So of All
the World.

Everywhere in Paris the principal;
feature of the hats for this season is
the soft crown. For forming these
soft-crowned hats a thick cotton tulle
without any stiffening is used. From
all that can be gathered, the real
aigrette diminishes in favor. All
sorts of little feathers, particularly
those of pigeons and chickens, are
much used, the natural chicken
feathers varying from light yellow to
brick red and the favorite way of ar
ranging them is in a band almost COW
ering the brim of the hat and stick
ing up in all directions, five of the
largest feathers being placed upright
at the back of the hat. These, with
the very short breast feathers, tinted
in the required shades, give the effect
of flowers. Quilts have come into use
again, and will form one of the sim
plest and most popular varieties Of
trimming.
