No such specificity has been established

Purely on theoretical grounds, IT seems

object Is to apply a hair OF the very

any old dog, or maybe no dog at all,
but Cat or a woodchuck or something.
Practically, I am not so sure. One
cannot lose sight of the fact that the
presence Of certain strains OF bacteria
IN nose or throat discharges In an
individual case Is no proof that these
germs are the cause of the trouble. And
even cOnceding that the germs found in
the culture are the cause OF the trouble,
we have no definite reason to assume
tnat tne halr OF terrier isn't Just as
effective a remedy in cases due TO the
bite OF some other breed Of dog as 1t
Is In cases due TO the bite OF terrier.
In other words. maybe it doesn't mat

Do "shotso Prevent "Colds'9

perennial question comes ND about
this time every year. namely, does
'fnoculation" with serum" prevent
colds?
The remedy or substance admins
tered by hypodermic injection for the
purpose Of Immunizing individuals who
suffer from frequently recurring coryza
Is bacterln, not serum. The intec-
ton of the bacterin Is not ''inocIIia-
ton" incubation means implanting
disease or the virus or germs of dis
ease. This bacterin. or bacterial wac
cine" as doctors sometimes call 1t, con-
sists of the chemical substance of the
bodies of killed bacteria only. What
bacteria? Oh, half a dozen different
strains or types that are most COM
monty present in the nose and throat
discharges OF persons iii of common
upper respiratory infection.
The choice of this shotgun mixture
is based on the improved theory that
the varieties or strains of germs found
in the nose and throat discharges Of
persons with alleged colds" are the
cause of the colds" II this we're so,
the remedy would be true homeopathic
remedy, hair of the dog that bites
you, or. more properly, similis Similibus
curantur, like cures like. But even
though particular combination Of half
a dozen bacterial strains or varieties
may be found by the bacteriologist in
a majority of cases in any particular
outbreak or epidemic. it does not fol-
low that the particular combination Of
germs causes the disease. This theory
Is without proof-without such proof
IS is required by Koch's law-that is,
the germ or germs must be invariably
present: they must produce the disease
when inoculated in a susceptible in
dividual. and the Identical strains OF
germs must be recovered by culture

short, scanter skirts--because the long
bouffant skirt has way OF making a
woman look large, If not actually bulky.
Then. too, the bouffant skirt is usually
associated with fairly high waistline,
and as tall women usually are long
legged anyway, this is thing to be
avoided.
The frock shown in the sketch was
chosen for young woman of unusual
height and worn with. very good effect
The skirt, as you see, is fairly short
Just hiding the knees. The three tiers
further diminish the length here and
relieve the angularity that might come
with a perfectly plain skirt without Civ
ing actual bouffancy The belt is placed
at the hips further to shorten the figure
and the effect of length in the bodice is
relieved by the pleated iabot.
Many tall women feel that they should
wear figured Notwithstanding that
figures break the height My own i'm
preston is that plain materials are best
since they are less conspicuous. Re-
move the spots from giraffe and paint

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Much can be learned from both these
sorts of people.
For example, there Is the round
shouidered, hollow -chested woman with
bony neck and sway-back figure AS a
girl she cultivated the debutante slouch.
She was engagingly slender and 1.-the
some. but now she Is lean and awkward
and serves as an eloquent warning as
TO the unbeautiful results of incorrect
posture.
Exhibit B in our collection of 'I1or-
rible examples" may we'll be the fat
and 40' type with wide hips, double
chins and fallen arches. Exhibit c may
display flabby wattles at her throat,
deep parentheseS lines on her cheeks
and baggy eyelids. She is usually an
indoor woman who enjoys" poor health
and dotes. on pills and operations.
And so we might continue running
over In our minds the faults we want
TO avoid In future years, not forgetting
the quirks of disposition that often
make elderly people hard to live with.
The habits OF nagging, of giving un-
asked advice, of fault-finding and Of
unadaptability are all ugly habits that
etch unpleasant lines on ones face and
make one prematurely old,
think that the reason why most
women dread losing their youth is that
they do not appreciate the beauty of
r;per years They try to keep up as
long as possible the delusion that they
are still youngsters, until the fatal day
comes when their eyes are opened to
the bitter truth. The shock is a great
and memorable one TO them. This Is
just the opposite OF growing old grace
fully" growing toward definite ideal
of mature beauty and graciousness that
makes life sweeter and richer as the
years march by.
