The spread of these diseases, as whooping-cough, "fly", poliomyelitis, and other well-known infections of the same general kind, is presumably for the most part droplet infection. The method of transmission is by coughing, by sneezing, or talking with force enough to expel droplets of infected sputum from the mouth or nose. Tram-cars, theatres, and places of public gathering are admirable clearing-houses for the exchange of current microbes. Except in times of epidemics, however, the danger of general infection is slight—much less than that of the ordinar yhazards of life. The prevention of all the respiratory infectious diseases is quite simple—infected droplets must not be permitted to escape from the mouth or nose. Also infected linen, dishes, chewing-gum, or pencils must not be permitted to pass from patient to prospective victim without sterilization. ----------o---------- BEAUTY BY THINKING. A friend and fellow-singer in the opera with Caruso, the greatest of all tenors, revealed the other day a little trick of this great artist to get the utmost of beauty out of his notes. Fundamentally, he had to have the organ to work with, of course, and the technique to manipulate it, but he then brought psychology to his aid. Whenever he took one of those deep inhalations before uttering his note, he always carried in his mind the idea and picture of a wonderfully beautiful rose held in his hand —a great, full-bodied and luscious rose—whose fragrance he was inhaling. Thus, the beauty of the rose, through his imagination, was translated into sound. In which there is perfectly sound beauty-theory which may be applied in many ways. A man died in New York a few weeks ago, quite famous in his line. He was an artist, and his work may be seen in many important public galleries. Nature had endowed him with the most grotesque features that were perhaps ever put on a human being. He had jowls like the dew-laps of a bloodhound; a nose like the claw of a boiled lobster in size, shape and color; ears that were like nothing but huge oysters, and he was as bald as an apple. Yet another artist, in speaking of him one day, said: "I think he's the most beautiful man, probably, in the world." Note that he did not say "handsome," because there's a vast difference between real beauty and what we call "handsome." "Why did this artist think this of the man with the face that made one think of crustaceans and bivalves? Because this man had a soul so beautiful that he found his Heaven right here and took every one with whom he came into contact right into it with him. Nobody ever saw the grotesque features, or, if they did, they associated them with the real beauty that looked out from behind them, through the kindliness of the eyes and in the deeply graven lines exrpes-sive of a life-time of human sympathy and Understanding. He was often sought by his fellow-artists, when they wanted to create a face portraying true beauty of character and soul, and he has been preserved in marble and bronze. There's a famous Europeon artist in this country at the present time who is here to paint the most beautiful women he can find in America. As yet he has not selected a single one of "the ten most famous beauties" as a model. "I don't want to paint dolls," he has said. "I want to paint women with real souls and character." Also, there's a famous beauty who is what we used to call "a show girl," and the term is absolutely descriptive. Her features are undoubtedly per- fect, and there is no doubt that she is as beautiful as is claimed. Yet her face is a mask, animate donly because she carries it around with her. What may lie behind it is unknown, not that it is inscrutable, but that it tells nothing of character. It is simply sculptured beauty in line and contour, worked in flesh instead of in marble or clay. Compare it with that of another, also an actress, who has • never been featured as a great beauty but upon whom the eye can rest with real pleasure. Ruth Shepley's face may not be perfect from the point of view of line and contour, and regularity of feature. Yet here something shines out through the eyes that is of the soul and from the beauty of character which it denotes. The late Lillian Russell, who reigned supreme as a beauty longer, perhaps than any other woman has ever done, kept the lines of disfigurement out of her face by continually thinking youth and cheerfulness. Her last photograph, taken when she was past sixty years of age, shows nothing of~the lines of discontentment and of worry which are destructive of beauty. This is not because she did not have as many cares and worries as fall to most human being—in fact, she had rather more, and, because she was known to be generous, she carried the burdens of many others as well—but because she made it a rule of her life not to admit worry and care and discontent into the scheme ' of her existence. She often told her friends and lecture audiences how every day of her life she made it a practice to say "Good morning to God," by which she meant that instead of tumbling lazily out of bed with a grouch she always went at once to an open window and gave her thanks to God for all good things. So she filled her mind with good thoughts instead of peevish ones with which to start the day, and also her lungs wtih the cleanest air that was available. So she chose colors with which to surround herself which were in harmony with her inner being, and carried out this plan consistently, even to the color of her toilet soaps and the corresponding scent. Which opens up a little thought of what used to be considered as "occult," but which now is known to be a part of the real scheme of things. A physician in a large Southern City, who may not want his name used because his thought is very far from being "orthodox," recently wrote to a prominent firm of unreceptive soap monufactur-ers suggesting to them that they bring out a toilet soap which should have different colors and odors to be used by people according to the color of their birth month, the color to be that of the jewel of the month and the odor to be that of the corresponding flower. "For," he wrote, in urging his suggestion as a positive aid to health, "the flower modeled on the side will be the symbol of the clean living we are to follow, for the flower is conceived in pure, passionless love and stretches its origin back to the fount of life." ???????»???< ERECTED IN LOUDON PARK —BY— F.

He went even further and suggested that every child born into the world should be surrounded from its beginning with its -proper color in all the little intimacies of life with which it first comes into contact in order to create a harmonious existence. "It should be taught to use a soap," he said, "which is colored and faintly scented in harmony with its being. The soundest beauty philosophy was once expressed in a bill-board advertisement, which is no longer to be seen, advertising a~ condensed milk and showed a beautiful pastoral scene with cows grazing placidly in the foreground. It bore the line: "---------- milk, from contended cows." Which expressed a perfectly well thought to the mind will have this konwn psychological fact, that the attitude of the mind is reflected in the physical well-being. Anger in a mother has been known so to poison the milk for a nursing child that it died. If the admission of discordant thoughts to the mind will have this physical effect, is it to be wondered at that the thinking of unbeautiful thoughts will be registered in an unbeautiful face? And is it not equally true that the constant holding of beautiful thoughts will produce beauty? Remember that your subconscious self is your real self and that it never sleeps. It functions as steadily as your heart beats or as your lungs perform the function of breathing. It is the beauty of that sub-conscious self that makes the beauty of children, a beauty which too often vanishes when the conscious mind has been permitted to absorb thoughts of an unbeautiful nature and thus distorted and made unbeautiful the inner self through sending it false impressions. Beauty in your inner self will show in the outer self which others see. ----------o---------- NOT AT HOME. Five year old Ann was often taken to call with her mother. One day while on a walk down town they passed a beautiful church and the mother, wishing to see the interior, took her inside. They stayed but a few minutes, and when they went out Ann said: "Whose house was that, mother?" "That was God's house," she was told. That night she was telling her daddy all the details of her trip. "And, daddy, we went to call on God, but he wasn't home." ----------o---------- THE MAN WHO LIVED A YEAR WITH "THE SEA WOLF." I was born in the Santa Cruz Mountains (writes Austin Hall), in the shade of the redwoods, and lived there until I was ten year old. Then I was taken back to Ohio, attended school in Cleveland and graduated from Lincoln High School Then I went to Ohio State University ,but kicked over the traces at the end of my freshman year and came out to attend the University of California. That year I had the honor of living with Jack London's Sea Wolf, the real man, for some months. When I got out of the University I picked out a girl that I liked and started after her. I chased her into the Sierra Nevada Mountains and got her in the face of terrible odds and much opposition. And she's accusing me yet. But just the same we sat under a pine tree and sang life's sweetest story; and whilei we were doing it I confided to her between notes, that it was my ambition to become a writer. And that ambition is going to be the theme of the story. Serves You Right Court Lunch Opposite Court Housi Towson, Md. CANDIES U SODA Interest on Savings Account Jwne 30 and December 81.
