FRocK COAT OF THE PAST
Seems to Have Been RELOCATED to or

Popularity.

The long coat with the tails enjoyed
long period Of popularity. It marked
for years the man who was doing the
correct thing from the point of view
Of dress. whether he were at q wed.
ding or funeral, an afternoon recep.
ton or college commencement. The
change in mems fashions that drove
the frock coat out Of its exclusive
place was particularly discouraging to
owners Of this enduring garment.
Frock coats have been known to pass
from one generation to another.
There has now been erected by far.
seeing tailors such a compromise that
the frock is not after all destined to
disappear from the wardrobe of the
well dressed man. It will. however, be
regarded only as the appropriate coat
of we'll dressed men of a certain class.
The stock broker or. the real estate
magnate, II they would follow fashion,
must be seen in the coat described
abroad as the morning coat and here
as the cutaway. It is to much more
serious class Of men the frock coat is
dedicated.
Statesmen. bankers. lawyers and
ministers, In the words Of the discrim-
mating sartorial journal which has sug-
gested this new and Gignified use Of
the frock coat. are the men who will
In the future find it the last word In

served to manhood but it is destined
to more distinguished and glorifed

Salt Germs.

Salt, of all things, we deem germ
proof; but, as matter of fact, salt
Is one Of the most germ-ridden foods
we eat.''
The speaker, a psychologist, sighed
and resumed:
you now gray salt, the gros sell
that 'gourmands eat with boiled beef?
Well, that salt is made gray by the
addition Of mud, plain mud. Hence
It always contains from 5000 to $4,000
bacterial colonies per gram.
Refined salt, white salt. is almost
as bad. It lies, you know in the re-
6nery under blanket of clay, and it's
refining consists of sea-water bath,
after which it is dried and heated to
the point Of capitalization. All this
fails, Of course, to remove from it its
1000 or 5000 bacterial colonies per
gramme that it imbibed from its clay
blanket.
The pure-food people should look
to our salt. The white, clean stuff
Is alive with germs. Yet it would DO
easy to refine it SC as to make it

The letter follows:
New York City, Feb. 10. 1913
Miss Margaret II. Sherman, Will
mington, Delaware.
Dear Miss Sherman: greatly
regret that several changes in
plans the last forty-eight hours
makes it impossible for me to be
in Dover on Thursday to present
few points in favor of the bill
TO enact a ten-hour law for wo-
men
The general need for laws OF
this kind is certainly established
by the study, results and subse-
quent application Of laws restrict
ing the hours of female labor In
the principal countries abroad as
well as in over thirty States in
our Union.
These developments would not
have taken place during the PRES
ent generation unless the real
need Of such limitations had been
proven In numerous localities
The immediate need of restric-
tions in Delaware are definitely
shown, to my mind, by the reports
Of a large number of physicians
within our State who are in a
direct position to know the extent
and results of various diseases
arising from over-fatigue Of wo-
men and girls in our factories and
shops.
These reports OF Delaware ply
sicians. which have recently ex-
amined. should be convincing TO
almost anybody and their unani-
nous views, based upon their di-
