REFORMS
URGED
Reorganization Of Department and
More Money Necessary for
Hygienic Improvement.

Or ]. p. Kennedy, head OF the
city health department, Tuesday up
held the report on his department by
the Russell Sage Foundation. He
declared it was a fair criticism. The
report was prepared after weeks Of
Investigation by Franz Schneider, Jr.
Though many Of his comments are
untsvorable, he praises the spirit o:
the health officers.
Mr.. Schneider very cleverly em-
r1asizes many needs of the depart
nent that we have been urging for
Years" said DR.. Kennedy. His re-
port brings up the question of
means Of securing them. If it helps
in convincing Council that it must
provide additional funds and make
certain changes, it will prove a great
help 10 the department"
The report was prepared at the in
stance and expense of the Chamber
VI Commerce. Copies have been fur
nished DR. Kennedy and other city
officials, and it is the hope of the
Chamber OF Commerce that Council
ana the Board of Health will see ut
TO adopt some of the suggestions for
Improvement in Atlanta's health con-
uiuous.
Defects in Organization.
After citing in one, two, three or
der the specific faults of Atlanta's
health system, Mr. Schneider says:
We have seen that there are seri.
uls defects in the city's present or
ganizauon; that several of the lar
gest hygienic opportunities are neg
ected, and that radical reorganiza.
lion and enlargement will be neces-
sary to take adequate advantage o
he situations"
Here are the specific needs ne
points out:
To reorganize the Board OF Health,
gapIacing the large board with d
small one. whose duties shall be
confined to recommendation for al
J.Nons to the sanitary code.
To separate the sanitary and health
departments, placing all administra-
rive authority over the health depart

That the health department be fur
U.shed with inspectors to control the

That department OF infant hy-
s.Jne be established with nurses AND

That the tuberculosis sanitarium at

That q health department dispen-

That the laboratory work dealing

MANY NEW LINGERIE EFFECTS
Styles Change In This az In All Other
Matters Connected With Fem
lnine Apparel.

The white corset cover, run with
baby ribbon, does not show through
the sheer fine blouses Of the day.
Such ribbon-run lingerie is no long
er considered good taste when visible.
1t is replaced by the lace or tucked
net brassiere on which wide satin rib
bons are mounted frankly as TRIM
ming.
Some Of these sheer blouses have
slips Of flesh-colored chiffon beneath,
which give suggestively transparent
effect without actual transparency.
Lingerie waists of fine batiste with
embroidery trimmings are worn over
slips of fleshtinted chiffon with love-
ly effect.
Organdie is a new blouse fabric,
also, but it Is used without the stiff
dressing that used to make the mate
rial stand out crisply.
Embroidery is added as landings
and motifs, or in the shape Of collars
and cuffs, on blouses of tucked white
material.

In the Nursery.

There is a distinct knack in the
method Of lifting and holding the
baby.
Both hands should be used, for in
stance, in lowering the baby from the
lap to the bath. For the greatest COM
fort, one hand should support the
baby's back, while his head rests
upon the lower arm or wrist.
The legs and lower part of the
child's body are lifted with the other
hand.
Before putting the baby into the
bath wash the child's face and head
SO that no soapy water can get into
his eyes or mouth.
Not every mother has the art of
making her lap comfortable. When
dressing the baby it is best to sit in
a low rocking chair without arms.
with one foot upon a stool in order to
deepen the hollow in which the child
lies.
If child's feet grow tired in warm
weather they SHOULD be rubbed with
salt and bathai in cold water. A hot
bath and daily massage is also bene
ficial.

BEAUTY IN SHAPELY FINGERS
Though They Require Constant Care
the Effect Is Worth All the
Trouble Necessary.

The work of restoring the fingers
to their normal state may be better
accomplished If a girl Is willing to
feed the fingers two or even three
times a day, althouh once a day, II
treatment is faithfully adhered to,
will make q decided Improvement
that can be easily noticed as she pro-
ceeds.
A very simple method is to hold
the finger tips in warm oil for about
ten minutes at time and then rub
them about vigorously as If washing
the hands; press the oil in and about
the cuticle, SO that all the surround
ing flesh will be thoroughly fed.
Should agnails appear after the
nails start to grow out properly, clip
of only what Is absolutely necessary.
as clipping too deep is likely to cause
. thick growth which Is not easily
gotten rid Of without first having
sore fingers. After clipping wrap a
bit of cotton about an orangewood
stick, dip 1t in peroxide. then rub over
the clipped cuticle; when dry press
a little cold cream over the spot. If
the cuticle Is sore enough to be
troublesome 1t may be touched light
~ with colodion. Iodine is also very
good, but, as 1t stains the skin, it Is
not used quite so frequently as the
first mentioned lotions. However, as
it speedily relieves the pain, If one
Is careful to put on only drop OF
two 1t would not show very much
and wears away In a day or two, be
cause the hands are washed fire
Quently.

they could be made G;Nble thickness,

FRIENDS FOREVER
By HAROLD CARTER.

y Blair occupied studio in an OLD
fashioned district of New York, at
the very top of the lodging-house
where rooms could be obtained with
out board for sums varying from two
to seven dollars weekly. Blair liked
the place because it was solitary, ana
had stipulated that his room was not
to be cleaned. There he established
himself with ninety-tive dollars ana
the paraphernalia OF his trade.
| He calculated that the money would
last him just long enough for the
completion Of his great stained glass
window for the Church of the Annun-
citation. The agreement was for pay
ment upon delivery, and Blair knew
that his first commits sion would lead
to many others. He had eight weeks
in which to complete the work, and
he had spent two sketching and pac-
ing the floor, smoking innumerable
cigarettes while his ideas took form
in his mind.
He could not fix the image OF the
angel. His ideas, shadowy at first,
had gradually crysta)lized into a Wo-
mans face that he had never seen.
Sometimes he would wander through
the streets looking for her, but he
never found her
However, even without this he could
produce a satisfactory piece OF work.
He knew that and worked hard. His
unintentional frown when he met
other roomers on the stairs soon
taught them to leave him alone. He
had the reputation OF being a crank.
That was what Mrs. James, the land
lady, told Miss Lucy Dexter.
I'm sorry that must give you the
room next to his, my dear she said
to the girl, but as you can't pay
more than two that's the only one
can let you have at the price.
There's only his room and yours on
the top. floor, but | guess he won't
annoy you, if you don't mind his
frown.'
But Della did mind his froWn-ter-
ribly. She had not been long in New
York, where SHE supported herself
as stenographer in law office.
She was horlesick and unhappy, and
she had no friends at all.
Blair scowled dreadfully when he
came to realize that the room next
to his was taken, and by a woman

her balance, tried TO regain it, and
toppled down with a crash upon the
pieces OF glass.
Panic-stricken, she picked herself VI

There was a long silence. Della
dared not look up, but she dared not

that her crime was too deep not to

Suddenly she felt two hands on her
