WEED HARMFUL TO WOMEN

That Tobacco Should Not Be Used
by the Fair Sex.

II seems that at last a purely physio-
logical reason has been found why
women should not smoke. apart from
the very general prejudice which eX.

Smoking says DR.. Hargrave a
London physician. does not have the
same effect on women that II does
on men An imperious necessity felt
by most smokers to satisfy their pas

planned by the cXcitatlon of the salt

Moreover. It has been shown that II
stcrilizes the saliva and that this is
really beneficial from the viewpoint
of the possible infection from the
foods themselves.
but with women It is a serious con.
clusion reached from many expert
ments that few Of them need tobacco
While the proportion Of men whose
salivary secretions were stimulated
and sterillzed by smoking was very
large, the proportion of women. on the
other hand, was very small Even
in women who have been habitual
smokers for years the action of this

formation of a shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2 2-3 cents a pair

That is a fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell

we treat all manufacturers alike no

A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned
by the use of automobile soap, a jel-
lylike substance of dark color, which
can be procured at any automobile
supply store or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, as It does not iniure
the finest finished material, but the
effect seems better on rubberized
goods. The first step in cleaning is
to make a strong lather. Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over a small portion of the gar
ment. Carefully wash off the soap
