Dangers in Dress.

Rock Island young woman fell in alight-
ing from a street car the other evening and
fractured wrist She attributed the accident
to the high heeled shoes she wore. That ought
to serve as a warning to others in dressing.
The manager Of one of the departments in
local store delivered timely and sensible ad
dress at a meeting Of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation the other afternoon. She counseled
mothers to exercise greater supervision and
care in the attirement of their daughters. and
cited the extremes to which young girls these
days are going in seeking to mimic stage
vampires.
It's dangerous business all around. The
young girl who steps out with her daringly
high skirt bodied hair, rouged cheeks, pen
ciled eyelids painted lips and high heeled shoes
may be pure of heart. but to those who do not
know her personally she is making . bid at
least for unfavorable comment The high
heeled shoe is not as comfortable as other
shoes that are to be had at cheaper prices.
The former may have q more chic appearance,
but it pinches the foot and binders the natural
development, il we are to believe what medical
authorities tell US. There is no crime in wear
ing skirt that exposes portion Of the lower
limbs, but woman's instructive modesty ought
to forbid her in adopting the extreme fashions
that are in vogue today. styles designed by
men.
There is danger not only in the high heeled
shoe. There is danger in the extremely high
skirt and the painted cheek and the penciled
lip, If the woman who affects these artihciali-
ties only knew it. OF course there are those
who wish to attract attention Of the opposite
sex as they parade along the streets. But the
good girls and women ought not to permit the
suspicion, through the clothes that they wear
and the dolling up of their faces, that they
belong to that class. But that is just whore
they place themselves in the eyes Of those who
do not know them personally.

Cardinella as the head Of the murder gang,

the gallows without flinching, but he displayed
his yellow streak Is the time approached for

down in order to place the black cap on him
and adjust the moose about his neck.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sassafras Tea.
Kindly give me the formula for
making sassafras tea to take as a
spring tonic and blood purifier.
II. W.
Answer-Place the sassafras in
your pocket and go out for emile
walk every day. Sassafras may be
a pleasant. flavor, but it is neither
tonic nor blood purifier, except
in some old Indian medicine lore.
Salt.
What effect will the eating of
about half teaspooHful of salt a
day, besides that in foods, have on
one who seems to crave salt?
MRS. r. A. Fl.
Answer-The body requires
about half teaspoonful of salt
daily, in or added to the food. The
ordinary intake of salt in and on
food, when an average mixed diet
is taken, is six to ten times as much
as the body requires. When this
latter quantity is materially cut
down, the body loses considerable
fluid. A salt-poor or approximate
ly salt-free diet is often prescribed
in cases of dropsy from various
causes. and in other conditions
where the tissues are presumably
too fluid. Carnivorous animals and
people taking much meat require
less added salt; herbivorous ami
mails and people taking diet chief
ly vegetarian require more added
salt, because vegetable foods lack
salt. Excessive salt eating is Oft
en- responsible for excessive, flabby
flesh. Too much salt also causes
excessive hydrochloric acid recre-
tionS in the stomach.
