The Common Washrag More Dangerous Than
 The Common Towel

The U. S. Public Health Service and the various state and local boards of health have taken adequate meas ures for the abolition Of that distrib- utter of disease germs, the common towel. Now comes the news that the common washrag is even a greater menace to health. The hotels and public hostelries have recognized this for some time, and have supplied their guests with sterihzed wash cloths in individual sealed packets. The damp "sour" smelling washrag still exists, however, in many private bath rooms. Imperfectly washed out after use, frequently not wrung rack or 9. radiator near an open win daw, there to collect dust and dirt. Frequently the same washrag is used by the entire family. thus affording an easy means of trahsferrence of mouth secretions from person to per son. In many households each in- dividua1 has his own wash cloth and his individual towel, but these hang so close to one another that there is ready interchange of bacteria. Each individual should have his own wash cloth. It should be thoroughly wash ed out with clean hot water after use. It should be then wrung as nearly dry as possible and if possi bIe hung in the sun to dry. It should not come in contact with other wash cloths. In the investigations the U. S. Public Health Service is conducting choma it has been found that com mon towels probably acted as a me diun1 of distribution of the germ of

THE PROGRESS OF
 WOMEN IN BUSINESS

A salesman for a concern dealing in lumber products made a state ment in conversation the other day .hat will surprise 9 good many peo- pie. He said in his travels he had come across a considerable number of business firms in the lumber trade hat were employing women as man agers or in very responsible positions much above the grade of ordinary bookkeeping and ster ography. It was his opinion that during the last few years in many lines of business, women have made a phenomenal ad- vance in the filling of places of man age1nent calling for executive ability
 At first thought most people would say that the lumber trades were not suited to women. Yet the close habits of observation possessed by the female sex are vital to success in dealing with any kind of material product. In the finer lines of wood working, women would be keen judges of artistic effects, natural beau ty and appropriateness of design.
 Anyone who ever saw a few execu- tive women run a church fair, a pub lie supper, or. theatrical entertainment must be convinced that they have gifts of management equal or super for to those possessed by the average men. Tact and insight of human na- ture are very vital factors in running any kind of business. They would count in the supply of wood materials and in a thousand other lines now or formerly held exclusively by men.
 Women ought to be encouraged to enter these new lines of effort. Ger tain professions, notably teaching, and stenography, are so crowded with wo- men that rates of pay are low. If women would fit themselves with the technical information needed for bus mess success, they would improve their economical position, and relieve the congestion in crowded employ ments. They would be In a more in dependent position as regards mar riage, and could pick and choose with some sense of resources of their own.

WOMAN PHYSICIANS

The first woman admitted to the. Ecole de Medicine. the famous Paris medical college. as also the first to become a member of the New York Academy of Medicine, was Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi, who was bornsin Lon don seventy-three years ago today. She was the daughter of George P. the New York publisher, and studied in several American schools before taking her degree in Paris in 1S71.- Two years later she became the bride of pr. Abrah ham, Jacobi. a native of Germany who fled that country when charged with Thigh treason for participation in the German revo1u- tionary movement, and, settling in New York, became one of the most distinguished of American physicians pr. Mary Putnam Jacobi was pronai- nent in the profession, as professor and hospital physician, until her death in 1906. The first woman 8physic elan in America. was Dr. Elizabeth Black well, a native of England, who rel ceived the degree of M. D. in 1s49, and later returned to England to prac- tice her profession. During the pres nt war in Europe the fair hea1ers have fully, proved their worth

FUR TRIMMINGS APPEAR EARLY.

F'rocks trimmed with marrow bands Of fur have the floor at present, and designers are paying a great deal of attention to the ne-piece frock of serge or velvet ornamented with beav- er mink or opossun. The model shown here is carried out in bottle green serge trimmed with black vel vet collar. Collar and sleeves are out lined with beaver and the back gore and back of the waist are cut in one to emphasize the princess effect.
 In medium size the dress requires A yards 44-inch material. with ss yard velvet for the collar and l yard fur banding for the trimming.
 Because of the irregular shape of several sections of the pattern it will be necessary to cut the costume from an open width of the serge. There is no reason, however. why two open widths should not be placed together ; (tWo right or two reverse sides facing) so that each section will be cut in du- plicate
 When the various pieces are placed over the surface of the material it will be found that there is left the veriest minimum of unused space. The piecing for the front gore is first placed into position on the selvage edge nearest tssR cutter. Proceeding toward the op- psEite seivage. place the sleeve (there are two styles. plain and fancy), then next to this the back and back gore. To balance the long panel of the back gore arrange into position Creturning toward the selvage nearest the cutter) the front. the trimming piece that falls over the hips and the collar. Finally comes the front gore of the skirt All of the various sections are placed on a lengthwise thread of material.

Husbands parents, sister are fond of boy Take him to their home every week for few days. Years ago I met a man I since learned to love. Am confident he loves me truly. He objects to my visiting husbands home, to go for my boy, Claims they come to my home for boy; can bring him back. Also, if I intend to secure a divorce it is not for me to visit husbands home under any cir cunnstances but serious illness or death. Please decide my doubts.

 Dear, parents hearts are always warm towards a grandehild. It is very unfortunate that you cannot persuade your husband to love you and his child and try his best to find employment, that you may all be happily united. These times it is very difficult to get a position. The other man may prove unkind and not good in caring for your boy. Beware of interfering per sons.
