Beware the Powder Puff

From the Newark News.
 Summer Is the season of warnings We are warned against vacation ty- phoid. malaria mosquitoes. poison ny- paper, sunstroke, poison Ivy. mad dogs. book agents and so on inde fnite1y. And every summer. seemingly, there Is something new of which the public must be warned. Therefore there is nothing surprising in the caution, ernanating from the department of rot to loan your powder puff in warm weather. Probably the admoniton holds good for cold weather as well, but 1t apparently Is particularly appropriate for summer, when powder puffs arc said to be used to greater extent than they are In winter
 The value of this advice Is plain to see The public has for long been ac- cIstomed to the use of the individual drinking cup. and realizes its wisdom If germs lurk in plain, thin water 1t is but natural to assume that they con gregate in the contents, so to speak and whatever they are, of the powder ruff, which should offer more nutri- ton. There may even be separate llirds of germs for the white face powder, and the pink face powder, ana the flesh face powder. and the other kinds of face powder The habit of ex- changing powder puffs might easily lead to the mixing of these germs circumstance the serious results of ', hich are hard even to imagine. The is preferable to making of dainty proboscis battle-ground for fierce germs and bacteria of warning tribes is sound.
