(By Simon Louis Katzoff, A. M, M.
 D., Author of Timely Truths On
 Human Health.'')
 The writer believes typhoid vaccine to be just as useless and harmful as is the vaccine virus for smallpox They are both filth extracts, artificial, and against the principles of sanitation and health. Typhoid vaccines have as much power to reduce the rate of typhoid fever as the eating of pork meat derived from a hog as that of uichinosis can have on preventing CT reducing the rate of rheumatism or gout. If anything, these unnatural and unscientific conglomerated pro- ducts will lower vitality by polluting the blood stream and thereby pave the way for typhoid fever or other filth diseases such as influenza, pneu- monia, tuberculosis and the like.
 The main reason why We have less typhoid fever today is because we have adopted better systems of sanita- ton. Even now, the sanitary situa- ton is far from being what it should be, could be, and some day, when cheap politics and graft will not be worshipped, will be; yet, in spite of it all, we have a far superior sewer sy stem, better plumbing, fewer swampy sections to contend with elevation of low lands, etc. All these important items which pertain to san itation have helped materially, if not exclusively, to minimize the rate of typhoid and other similar levers.

And so effectively that they can easily conquer the feminine heart not to mention hearts masculine. And here again is the old story of the blue and the gray! The gown is of blue charmeuse and it is e1aborately trimmed with gray embroidery and fringe. Though the lines are really chemise they are camouflaged into overblouse effect by the way in which the trimming is applied. The long fringe is headed by a decorative em- broidery motif in leaves. An all- over pattern of smaller design is used for the blouse. A gray collar faced with blue rolls gracefully about the neck. It is balanced by the gray flare of georgette which falls below the tight elbow sleeve of blue.
 Such a distinctive gown is worn with propriety at number of func- tinzaa

to bought two cheap things. Soon she would have had neither shoes nor blouse.
 Then, again, there is the type Of bargain hunter who will pick up a thing just because it is cheap, fires pective of the fact that she does not need that thing. Always remember these words of wisdom: Never buy what you do not need because it is cheap. It will be dear to you in the end"
 When buying a thing, make sure that you need it. and then buy the particular one which will give the best wear.
 As for economy on food, remember that the nutrition of the family de- bends as much upon the preparation of the food as upon its selection. Un- less the cheaper cuts of meat are properly cooked and conscientiously utilized there is no economy in their use, for the body will not asslmilate nutrition from them. Thus it would be more truly economical to serve a porterhouse steak properly pre- pared than to serve a less desirable cut which has been cooked without especial care to render it digestible.
 Next time you "economize.' think twice before you buy.

ETICljE'TT TIE

A Question of Social Morals Here is a question often discussed by young women of my acquaintance without arriving at Any definite con- cluston. It Is an awful insult to a man to refuse to dance with hlm, provided you are not already engaged to somebody else for that dance; yet if a young man of known bad morals, who is a lovely dancer, asks you to dance with him, is it good manners to refuse? Some of the young women will dance with men whom they afterward refuse to recognize on the street, (Answer.) You should politely but firmly refuse to dance with any man whose moral character is such that you do not wish to be known as a friend of his The inti- macy of the modern dance is so great, with it's holding of hands and clasping of the mans arm about the woman's waist, that no self-respect- ing woman will endure such famil- Iarit1es from any man whose moral character is objectionable to her. There is nothing in the laws of good society that requires a woman to ac- cept any attentions from such a man.
 Hash for Company-''Please do not laugh, as my question is serious: Is it proper to serve hash to a guest who is paying me a visit of several days % (Answer) Perfectly proper provid- ed the hash is nicely cooked and at tractively served. In these times many old-fashfoned dishes which used to be outlawed from the table when company came are admitted into the best of society, and it is con- sidered rather a compliment to your guests to so far admit them into the sancttty of your family circle as to serve them a boiled dinner, hash or baked beans and brown bread,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Moths will not lay their eggs where cut tobacco has been scattered.
 It is said you will not be troubled uns growing in the house.
 It is not at all necessary to close the kitchen and open all the win dows on frosty mornings, to avoid getting the house smoky. Put three of four tablespoons of salt in a cloth bag and tie tightly. Just before put ting batter in hot griddle, rubbing the griddle with the bag of salt and then put in batter. There will be no vestige of smoke.
 The juice of a half a lemon in cup of strong coffee will cure the most stubborn headache.
