IRWIN COBB


New York, June 21.--The double
breasted suit continues in favor, es-
pecially with business and profess
sional men who no longer have quite
the collegiate figure.
There's no wonder they like the
douhle-breasted coat. IT really
serves double purpose. For.
properly fitted, it has more youth
in its lines than any other type of
coat And, with the buttons grad
uated and the lapel just right. 1t
does much to slendcrize the figure.
Checking up on Park avenue one
day recently, l noted that seven out
OF ten men over % wore the dou-
BILE breasted coat.
Outstanding in his jauntiness was
none other than irwin $. Cobb. who
swung his cane down the smart
thoroughfare with tremendous buoy
ancy.
His trim oxford grey worsted suit
with an all but invisible stripe OF
darker grey had just the right waist
suppression, the snug hips. the broad
shoulders and the notrhcd lapels to
give it that smart look men like.
He wore a whit. shirt with a
Prime. Of Wales collar, and Il grey
tie with rather modernistic diamond
checks in il. From his pocket a
white linen handkerchief peeped.
His hat was the most distinctive
thing about him. 1t was one of the
new rolled briHi cream straWs. with
a high blocked crown and neat
banding OF black.

Useful Tips on
Helping Sick
DR.. Fishbein Gives Advice
for Nurses.
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEfN
Editor Journal of the American Med
zeal Association and of Hygeia,
The Health Magazine.

IN their interesting guide on home
problems, Miss X. w. Kinyon and
Prof l.. Thomas Hopkins devote one
chapter to a discussion of the man
ner in which sickness should be con-
trolled in the home.
The systematic outlines that they
present are safe guides to healthfu
living. For instance, one statement
gives briefly and succinctly the ele-
mentary facts for the control of the
sickroom. The room must be clean
and simply furnished, and be pro-
vided with plenty of fresh air and
sunshine.
Heavy furniture. curtains and
rugs and bric-a- brac merely provide
and arc of little value to the sick. All
unnecessary furniture an ornamental
ton should be removed.
Flowers may be placed in the
room but even these are frequently
.iietasteful to patients and should
not be urged upon The sick who do
not care for thcn. Particularly dis
tasteful are faded or dead flowers.
No medicine should be given
which has not been prescribed by the
physician. Medicine should always
be given at the specified time and in
the'amount prescribed. The patients
own Judgment in this matter is Ger
tainly not TO be trusted, but even his
judgment is better than thkt of the
unframed attendant.
Few people without training are
able TO take care of the patients
bed. Everyone apparently is anxious
to make the patient feel comfort
able. to shake up his bed, move him
around and adjust his pillows. The
patient may prefer to be let alone.
If such happens to be the case he
probably will be fully competent to
manipulate his own pillows. If a
person is sick, the sheets, pillow
cases and bed linens must be laun-
dered frequently. If the patient has
q communicable disease, these
should be washed at least every sec
ond day.
| The night gown or pajamas also
should be washed often. certainly at
least once every two days.
| Communicable diseases are spread
by people who carry the germs Of in
\ lection from one person to another
I When infectious disease is present in
the home. the hands and face should
be washed by every person both on
entering and leaving the sickroom.
