Disease Germ Does Not Lurk
on Ruby Lips, Asserted.
Chicago. — Health Commissioner
Youuk has appeared us champion for
the Ulss. Other health guardians to
the contrary notwithstanding, his ad-
vice Is to keep right on kissing as
often as the girl will permit; that the
disease germ does not lurk and mul-
tiply on the ruby lips, as some experts
claim.
When the printers' proof sheets of
matter to go in the weekly health bul-
letin were submitted recently to Dr.
Young by C. St Clair Drake, a strict
sanitarian, the health commissioner
found an article devoted to kissing. «
"That will never get by me." said he.
The article. In part, read something
like this:
"And there is no telling the amount
—the students of the subject claim the
cases are numerous—of tuberculosis
and other diseases communicated by a
kiss."
"Nonsense." Dr. Young said. "I will
have to act as a safety valve here, be
a regular Horatius at the bridge."
Again he perused:
"Therefore kissing should be avoid-
ed—should not be indulged In."
To his secretary Dr. Young turned.
Issuing this order:
"Have the entire article against kiss-
ing stricken from the bulletin. Let peo-
ple kiss all they want to."
"A kiss," Dr. Young said, "is dan- i
gerousonly when it is indulged In so as
to lead to observation by an irate papa !
or mamma. The degree of aggrava-
tion differs in each case."

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Reducing Flesh.
For reduction of flesh a simple
hot bath is supplied with four
pounds of washing soda and one
pound of bicarbonate of soda.
First the feet and wrists are
warmed and then gradually the
body, so that the shock is not
too great The tub should be
well filled. Hot water should be
slowly added as it cools. The
treatment requires one to stay in
the bath for twenty minutes.
A flannel dressing gown, full
length. Is then slipped on, and
the patient goes to bed between
blankets. A glass of hot water
Is also taken at this time. Pro-
fuse perspiration naturally fol-
lows, and one should stay in bed
for an hour or longer. After
leaving the bod care should be
taken to keep out of drafts and
to remain indoors for the rest of
the day, as the pores are open,
and a slight chill might result In
a eold or something more seri-
ous. These baths are somewhat
weakening, so must be used
sparingly. A hot bath without
the addition of soda will fre-
quently break up a cold that is
Just starting. The above pre-
cautions should likewise be car-
ried out
