THE GEIsM.TREE AIR.

UHE NAbhtNA~H AbsAG shAA0
 Suppose, says ono reader who reads too much and doosn't study enough, that smith sncoxos on his way to tho s:lb and spreads nomo of his germs in the damp morning air, Will not these germs i've long enough for Jones Go breathe them In when ho comes Bprinting nfter tho train a minute or two latorY
 No, thank heaven, the air every whero and in almost all eircum- stances is practically Rorm-free, NO far na pathog0nie bacteria aro con- ccrnod--the Kind that are capable of causing disease. .,
 Disease germs arc mighty don. cato organismH--- cant chii om plants nor yet animalH9-and they auccumb quickly if deprived of the onvlronmcntal conditions essential for their life and growth. Thus, riso of q few dcgreos above the normal temperatures of the hu- man body K sufficient to kill or at loast destroy tho virulenco or ren- der harmless many disease germs. On tho other hand, in a tompera. turo q few degrees below the nor- mai human body temperature they quickly succumb. Likewise disease germs cannot endure daylight; sun. light ia deadly Go thom. Likewise they nbhor drynoss. Hut then, tho man who reads too much and thinks too little thoughtfully pros cldod morning dampness in tho air for the germa in this instance. But unless tho day was extremely low. ering and dark and at tho samo tlme hotter than any dark dny would bo, Smiths germs, even though they were diphtheria or tuberculosis or scarlet fever germs, nocd not cause Jones to hestite to catch his train. Assume Smith is actually coming down with coryxa, qulnsy, flu, measlcs or cerobros- pinal meningitis. It would Do 2 large risk for Jones to catch up with him or walk along with him unless Emith preserved absolute silence and was intelligent or polite enough to cover his nose and mouth with handkerchief. hand or other screen if he had to sneese or cough. Or unless smith, Jones or both of them wore suitable mask. It is q principle of modern sanitation, as well as n principle of modern asepsis, that the ar is ordinarily germfree - free from germs that can produce diseaae--- of course there are many harmless bacteria floating about.
 Science and experience have both proved the soundness Of this principle. We know now that there K no risk to the health of q com. munity from a properly conducted tuberculosis sanatorium. n general hospital, n hospital for contagious diseases or even q hospital for smallpox. Tn the dark ages ignor- ant people feared these places, perhaps with some reason because of the scanty knowledge of asepsih and sanitation. But since we learn ed that no known disease IS car-

 Mint Jelly
 Mint jelly is preferred by many persons to mint sauce to serve with lamb. An attractive way to serve it ls to mold 1t in tiny indi- vidual molds and turn out each on n slice of orange. Be sure to wash the orange before cutting it in slices.
 Three -fourths cup minced mint leaves, Ia cup sugar, 1-4 tea- spoon salt, l-4 teaspoon paprika, i-2 cup hot vinegar. 3-4 cup wa ter, tablespoon granulated geia- tine.
 Soak geiatlne in water for ten minutes. Heat mint leaves with vinegar, sugar, salt and paprika and simmer closely covered ten minutes. Strain through cheese. cloth and add gclatine at once.

 Although for so long, mint haa been associated with lamb as # they wero blood brothers, tho ila- vorBomo Bprig can Do used In many other combinations with equal sucooBB.
 Why not, for instance, try mint and new cabbage? ono tablespoon minced mint leaves added to ono cup criHp shredded cabbage and tho whole dressed with oil and lemon juico makes m unusual and delicious salad, or you may stun tomatoes with tho combination. Cucumbors gprinklcd with frosh minced mint leaves arc appotlsing and novel.
 Mint In Fruit Cups
 All fruit cups aro given m al- turing and seasonal touch when mint is among tho assembled in- gredlonts.
 Sometimes merely brulslng mint leaves in tho bowl in which a fruit galad or fruit cup is mixed gives ns much mint flavor aB iB wanted. or tho minced mint leaves may bo preferred mixed with tho fruit for n definite mint flavor.
 It's Q good idon to mako up mint syrup to keep on hand for fruit cups and what not. You can bot tlo tho syrup and keep t for uso when mint Is not In scnson. This syrup can bo used to make jelly and fec and makes a delicious drink combined with lemon juice and ginger ale.
 Mint Syrup Two cups minced mint leaves. 2 cups sugar, 3-4 cups vinegar, l 3.4 cups water, l-2 teaspoon salt,
 When you make this up to use Immediately for fruit cups omit the vinegar and add lemon juice as you use it.

 Whether you arc getting slip. covers for yenr-rOund use or meru- Iy for tho summer months, map out somo concrete form Of color scheme before buying fabrics. If tho living room is small, tiny floral Dattcrna will bo better than largo ones, But lf tho rooms aro large, you can go in for big and moro in- trlcato designs.

mont stores will mako them Co or. dor for you. Just romomber that really good fabrics arc cheapest in the ionR run and so are Bllp-covorn that are well.fittod, and exportiy made. If you're going to attempt tho job yourself, It's best Co got one dIvan pattern, and one large chain pattern. They probably won't iit your own furniture, but the procedure ls moro simple if you have thum to go by. (By tho way, 1t takes between five and six yards Of fabric to make 6 Bilp- cover for tho avernge-sisod oycr- stuffed chnir.)
 Take one end of tho material and place it on the back of the chalr. Pull it downward toward tho bottom, pinning it tightly across top and bottom and down the sides. Baato between tho pins Co mark the limos wherO you are to cut and then cut out that Bec- ton of material, allowing one inch all the way around for French seams. If you are using . definite pattern than runs up and down, consider it before you cut. 0oo- metric figures must be cut straight acroHs 90 as not to break the de- sign of the fabric.
 Allow For Seams
 Now do tho front sido of the back of tho chair, pinnlng smooth ly, basting q ilne between the pins and finally cutting the materials. Do likewise with tho seat and tho insides and outsidss of the arms of the chair. Always allow for
 Sew the pieces together and an- ish with either plain French seams or rows of tho now fringod braid which can be purchased by tho yard. Leave m opening down one side of tho back of tho chair so that the cover is easily removable. The opening can be finished with snaps Of with a slide fastener.
 Tho bottom of each slip.cover can bo hcmmcd and loft plain or fin- ished with q box pieat all tho way around. slip covers that touch the floor arc more graceful. looking that those which end about four inches above it.
 Chair cushions must be covered separately, and that goes for tho cushions Of tho divan, too. If you intond to wash your new sup- covers, be sure Co uBo pre.Bhrunk materials or elso shrink them yourself before you cut them.

 Dieting too vigorously is ono thing which tho woman who wish. os to lose weight should guard against. There is great danger In planning a rigid reducing diet without first consulting reliable physician. Just because your neighbor went on q liquid diet, lost ib pounds and suffered no iil effects, is no sign that tho same type of diet is right for you. Your body and blood may be such that plain liquids for days and days would prove harmful. So get med ical advice before you start.
 However, no matter what foods are best for you, thore's no reason to cat m excess Of any ono of thom. Tho person who wants to Do more slender should always fool Q trine hungry when she leaves tho table. Foreg0 tho sec- ond helping of anything and don't bes tempted to take tho little ex- tra sweets that are passed around after the dessert course unless you have eaten sparingiy and passed up the desert itsolf.
 Everyone should drink cIght glasses of water each day and tho woman on A dict should increase h<e amount to ten glasses. Two of them, iukewarm, must bo taken bcforo breakfast.

m the National Capital, where
The FERA has launched series
Of cooperative experiments to be
used as examples for the rest Of
the country, the Commissioners
face q severe legal test on the very
practical question whether or not
afcooperative liquor association is
legal.
In fact a court injunction is
threatened against the next liquor
license issued to any group of
stores that cooperateS in group
buying of liquor, and the CommiS-
sionerS and the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board appear to well
cbme this challenge to their eStab-
lished policies.
Three Groups Formed
Three groups Of independent
stores have formed corporations
which have been given wholesale
liquor licenses and are buying di-
rectly from distillers and brewers
and wine makers. They thus are
saving the wholesalers profit, and
the wholesalers are protesting,
threatening to go to court and
eventually to Congress.
The cooperatives are exactly
modelled after the schemes en-
cOuraged by the FERA and the
local relief administration, and
the commissioners are frank in
their refusal to back cooperativeS
in the relief field and refuse them
IN the liquor field.
Wholesale and retail liquor deal
erS outside the cooperative chains
eay that if they lose their battle
many of them will move their bust-
nesseS to Maryland where the IL
cense fees are cheaper.
District wholesalers pay 1900
a year in license fees. In Maryland
these licenses are much cheaper
and the local liquor dealers resent
the fact that the cooperatives are
all buying in Maryland, taking tens
Ntfthousands of dollars away from
local establishments,
wholesale Trade Hurt
The wholesale and retail liquor
dealers object to the cooperative
scheme on many grounds, chiefly
because the cooperative scheme
takes business away from the mid
die man.
They state that chain stores and
cooperative liquor schemes have
b0en ruled out in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut; that COM
blnation food and delicatessen and
drug stores employe minors and
these minors are sometimes used
fer selling liquor; that where
1iduor is thus sold in small food
shops and combination stores it
is impossible to police them and
regulate their selling of liquor. Re
tail liquor men declare there is no
economic gain in the cooperative

store system. They say:
I'VE, as exclusive retail liquor
dealers, do hire extra help and
further the investment of pri.
vate capital as encouraged by
our honorable President, Frank
lin d. Roosevelt. Combination
stores that dispense liquor op-
crate at no additional labor ex-
penSe or investment"
Organized retail liquor dealers
bring the charge that the coop
erative enterprises represent some
stores which encourage lawless-
ness.
The Commissioners have let II
be known they are not going to
reverse their stand on coopera-
tiVeS.
