women in brown? It’s all one sees

long absence and it leads with it a
new combination. Black and brown
have been strangers used together but
this season they neighbor with entire
felicity. A brown duvetyn or trl-

monkey fringe. And to turn about, a
black satin model may be banded with
brown fur in smart effect. Brown Is
a shade for women with fair skins
and fresh color; It Is negative tone
nnd needs assistance to make Itself
felt. Purple, from which brown is
made with other tones, is an attrac

course, gold and most shades of yel

There Is n brand new medicine, just
discovered in France; It Is the extract
of our old friend the mistletoe. Dr.
Charles Green Cumston, Swiss corre
spondent of the New York Medical
Journal, In reporting It to that paper,
says, however, that the-American mis
tletoe will not do, as its effects are
different from Its French sister.
The new preparation is called vls-
cum album. It was discovered by Dr.
Faultier, and he and Dr. Doyen have
had great success with it in checking
certain forms of hemorrhage. It is
given either In the form of pills or in-
•jections Into the veins. Its effect is to
dilate the blood vessels by paralyzing
the vasomotor centers of the nervous
system; to increase the systolic energy
of the heart nnd slow the heart heats;
to cause contraction of the unstriped
fibers of the muscles.
Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid
fever Is checked by It, and it Is said to
be admirable for use in hardening of
arteries.
The newest corsets remnin creations
of light-weight fnbrics lightly honed,
but so shaped ns to give needful sup
port to the figure without themselves
giving any special evidence of their
inclusion as a silhouette influence.
The length Is still a marked fenture,
hut on account of the scientific place
ment of the bones and the reduction
of such to a minimum, there Is not the
slightest discomfort in the wearing of
the long apron model.
The bust line is a bit higher, at
lenst for those who like the slightly
raised line. For slender figures the
extension of the maierial over the
waistline is a matter of but two or
three inches;- and there are models
that are hardly more than hip eon-
finers, so little thought do they take
of the upper part of the figure.

The health statistics of the leading cities of the United States, and
for the insurance companies, show that the mortality has been lower and
health conditions in general more favorable during the last summer than
during any corresponding period in recent years. Public health workers
attribute much of this low mortality to the cool, comfortable weather pre
vailing throughout the summer and to the fact that the influenza epidemic
of last fall and winter caused the premature deaths of many persons suf
fering from chronic diseases. These deaths would have occurred under
ordinary conditions throughout the spring and summer of 1919, health
workers say.
,
The figures available in the records of a leading life insurance com
pany, industrial department, during the months of July, August and
September, this year, show exceedingly low mortality rates from the acute
infectious diseases of children, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough aud
diphtheria, as compared with the corresponding months of previous years.
Typhoid fever shows a low death rate. This is encouraging because it is a
sign of sanitary progress throughout the country. Diarrhea and enteritis,
infantile intestinal diseases which have their maximum incidence during
the summer in the eastern and central part of the United States, showed
this year one of the lowest rates on record. The diseases and conditions
associated with child bearing also indicate improvement over the figures
for preceding summers. Beginning with the month of September, there
was a-slight increase in the death rate for influenza and pneumonia, not
enough, however, to warrant the conclusion that the epidemic conditions
of last year would be repeated.
Public health officials, and the health service of the life insurance
companies, are watching carefully the current mortality returns with a
view to controlling, so far as possible, any unfavorable mortality situation,
should it arise. The United States public health service has suggested that
local and state health departments outline an adequate program for the
control of epidemics of respiratory disease. The life insurance companies
are urging their policy holders who have had influenza or pneumonia .to
consult with their family physicians frequently in order to combat any of
the effects of such diseases upon the heart, kidneys or lungs.

Ancient Deodar Trees of 1
India, 800 or 900 Years
Old, Considered Sacred
The natives of the hill regions of
India consider the deodar tree almost
sacred. As its name implies, it Is the
tree of the gods, and around many of
the picturesque little temples one sees
magnificent groves of fine old deodars,
perhaps S00 or 900 years old, trees that
no one would dream of cutting, for
they are considered as the personal
property of the gods. Even should a
deodar fall down from old age, no
hillman would dare to use its timber
forhisown private needs. Misfortune,»
as he believes, would certainly result.
If a house were built of the sacred
timber, either the house would refuse
to stand, or—what is the more usual
form of the god’s displeasure—the
owner’s family would fall victims to
some terrible disease, or his crops
would fail to ripen. A hillman who
has had to pass through one of these
groves will carefully remove even dry
needles that have stuck to his feet for
fear that he may arouse the god’s dis
pleasure by Inadvertently removing
some of his property.
