That tho automobile hns Introduced
another serious clomont of danger
Into metropolitan streets 1b not to be
denied. This applies to all largo
tittles. Thoy faco a common problem
Local Interests, therefore attaches to
a recently published dispatch from
London announcing that better control
of power-driven vehicles In tho Eng
lish metropolis Is likely to bo recom
mended by a select comtnlttco for ac
tion by tho houso of commons. Lon
don's commissioner of pollco suggests,
among other things, that reckloss
driving, as well as drunkenness of
drivers, bo mado, a penal offenso.
American cities, ordinarily follow for
eign cities in such matters, says the
Chicago Nows. For oxamplc, tho first
bill to bo signed by Governor Sulzer
of New York cstabllshoa a penitentiary
term for any porson who drives an au
tomobllo whllo intoxicated. This is
tho first law of tho kind In tho United
States. Thero aro still other precau
tions, however, which must bo taken
to mako streets safer. This Is Indi
cated by tho fact that the number of
persons killed In Chicago In 1912 by
motor-driven vehicles was in the
neighborhood of 100. Ono of tho
perils, of course, Is tho varloty of
speeds of different typos of vehicles.
Tho London commissioner of pollco
purposes to work toward equalization
of speed. Separation of traffic of dif
ferent spoeds Is another possibility.
Certain streets, for cxamplo, might bo
set aside for slow-moving teams and
others for tho more rapid automobiles.
If these scientists contlnuo their In.
vostlgations, men with what aro known
as "bad habits" will bo obliged to con
Jess that they Indulged them bocauso
they wish to, instead of putting thoir
Indulgence upon altruistic or utilitarian
grounds. Thus, Profs. Loo J. Knight and
William Crokcr of tho University of
Chicago In addresses dollvercd boforo
tho American Association for tho Ad
vancement of Science, at Clovoland,
0., declared that tobacco smoko doos
not benefit house plants, but, to tho
contrary, lnjuros thorn. Hundreds of
thousands of husbands, Implored by
their spouses to discontinue worship
at tho Bhrlno bt Nlcotln, havo firmly
declined upon tho ground that tho
bouso plants needod tho smoko. Tho
houso plants, being absoluta necessi
ties of our present day civilization,
naturally ovorrodo all other considera
tions. Tho houso plant plea Is no
longer a palliation. There is only ono
recourso loft to tho unwilling swoaror
off, and that is tho clothes motliB. t
somo cntorprlslng sclontlst comos

CHAFING 6lSH SUGGESTIONS.
Tho many valuable ubob to which

COOKERY FOR THE SICK.
Sir Henry Thompson Bald: "I havo
como to tho conclusion that moro than
half tho dlseaBO which embitters tho
mlddlo and later llfo la duo to avoid
able errors In diet." It Is safo to say
that two-thirds of nil diseases aro
brought about by errors In diet.
Tho study of foods nnd thoir effect
on tho Individual Is of equal linpor
tanco to tho study of druga.
Often tho entire return to health Ib
depondent upon tho food propared
for tho patient.
Children moro readily succumb to
dlsoaso than older people, hence tho
necessity of paying tho strictest atten
tion to their nourishment nnd diet.
To those who aro accustomed to vis
iting children's hospltaln, tho subject
of mal-nutrltlon la vory much dis
cussed, as ita ovidenco Ib everywhere
manifest.
Thoro aro comparatively fow foods
that aro at their best In an uncooked
Btato. Thoy neither tasto so good, nor
aro thoy as dlgeotlblo ns when treat
ed to somo kind of cooking.
Tho question of feeding of persons
In health Ib always of great impor
tance, but when one succumbs to dls
oaso, tho feeding Ib of supremo mo
mont. Where tho tomporaturo Is high, nnd
thoro Ib groat wasting of the tlbsuoB,
It Is necessary that a large amount
of easily digested food, usually In
liquid form, bo used. Water Ib usod
in quantities, as that carries off wnsto
products.
With Bomo convalescents food must
bo restricted, whllo others must bo
stimulated to vat.

HOW TO HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
Many Things Better Than Ice, Though
That Will Temporarily Give the
Glow Desired.
The use of Ice as a cosmetic is ad
vocated by many. Its results in many
cases aro not lasting.
There may be somo virtue in ice
when a woman wants to make her
cheeks rosy for a short while. She can
prepare soft pads, lay them on ice un
til they are very cold, then on tho
cheeks; they draw the blood to the
surface and give a rosy tint. Cold
water Is better, however, when it
comes to the question oj making flabby
muscles tighten to a normal condition,
and tho toilet vinegar Is better still;
such muscles need something that will
tone them permanently, not Juat for
tho moment. To apply Ice to the skin
that has been exposed to the wind Is
all wrong; cold cream, left on half an
hour first; then warm water and a
good soap; then very cold water to
finish with and cold crenm rubbed in,
with a spray of toilet vinegar last, is
the method that answers beBt for
flaccid muscles. Philadelphia Tele

NEW AND POPULAR. FABRICS
That They Lend Themselves to tho
Graceful Draperies Demanded Is
Their Recommendation.
The touch of the Oriental that la
noticed in the spring styles requires
that a fabric be used which, lends it
self readily to graceful drapery. Ono
particularly adaptable material ia
ctamino, which is moro popular this
spring than It has been for several
seasons. The robes of handdrawn
otamlne are truly beautiful. Tho
drawn-work appeare In bands of grad
uated widths, forming a very hand
some border for the robe. A narrow
band of drawn-work Is done along tho
opposite edge of the material to bo
used for the smaller trimmings. Theso
etamlnea come In all tho vivid shades
that are to bo so much used.
Among tho silks, flucr do sole, a
now form of taffeta with an extremely
soft finish, falls In tho most graceful
lines. It cornea in very new and un
usual tones, In. both plain and figured
surfaces. Tho floral designs that ap
pear on many of theso new silks seem
somewhat stiff at first sight, but ono
soon realizes how very -well suited
they are to the period costumes bo
affected by our best gowned women.

Double Train.
A new train seen lately consisted of
two- trains each qulto separate, and
ending In points. A very lovely even
ing dress of deep orange charmouso
had'thls new double tall. Ono whs of
the orange charmeuBo, and was Just a
continuation of tho dress Itself. The
second train was of 'lemon-colored
mousaellne-de-solo, and started from a
drapory nt tho waist, which camo
down one side and round tho back of
the frock, falling Into a train tho ox
act size and shapo of tho satin one.
When well down this has a very pret
ty as well as a very novel effect.
Aids the Completion.
The comploxlon seems to bo tho
only thing which benefits from damp
weather. Ono of the reasons for tho
fresh and colorful skins of English
girls Is said to be the fogs and mists
that Bweep over Britain from tho sea.
Moisture holds the dUBt prisoner
and dust Is tho worst onemy to good
complexions. Besides that, moisture,
while it does not prevent wrinkles,
does not produce them; and oxcesslvo
ly dry climates are always productive
of excessively wrinkled skins.
Oriental Negligee.
For wear beneath tho Oriental neg
ligee there Is a special Oriental com
bination garment of brassiere and pet
ticoat. This is what the garment

pears to bo a winding affair of flno

"My physician told mo I must not
