HOW TO KEEP WELL —-* DR. FREDERICK *R. GREEN Editor of "HEALTH" l ««■■■ (©, 1926, Western Newepaper Union ) * POISONING FROM HAIR DYES ALL of man's (amfespecially wom aq£s) efforts to be more beau tiful are accompanied by danger. I have told you about the danger of lead poisoning from face powders; of possible suffocation of Infants from talcum powders; and of the Irritating effect on the skin of some forms of rouge. Hair dyes, like all other arti ficial oeauty improvers, are not free fron danger. In a recent issue of the British Medical Journal, a number of cases of poisoning fro*n the use of hair dyes are reported. One man, the proprietor of a hair-dressing estab lishment, came to his doctor for ex amination. He felt 111 and weak; his face was gray and blotchy; his eyes were watery and bloodshot; his tongue and gums were swollen; he was nauseated and had no appetite; and he had severe pain in his stomach and between his shoulders. He said that he applied hair dye for his customers, putting it on without wearing gloves, and was exposed all day to the fumes from the dyes. Analysis of the hair dyes which he used showed that they contained lead and arsenic. These substances are also frequent ly found in the dyes used for staining furs. They have an Irritating effect on the skin, often causing an eruption on the necks of women, especially during the fall and winter months when fur., are most worn. The possibility of poisoning from hair dyes has led to the passage of laws !n several states forbidding the use of lead, arsenic or any other In jurious in any hair dye which is offered for sale. Be as beautiful as you can but don't risk your life or your health. If you regard gray hair as a crown of honor and don't mind the increasing white ness of your locks, then you don't need to worry about any possibility of poisoning. But If you can't endure the natural results of age and feel that yon must cover up the marks of time, do It with some preparation that will restore the color of your youth with out doing any harm to your body. Anyway, if you eat simple and eas ily digested foods, drink plenty of pure water, exercise every day, and sleep in the open air, yon will have so much natural color in your cheeks that you won't care whether you have any on top of your head or not. The coloring which nature uses Is not only harmless, but it is also much more beautiful and attractive than Anything you can buy in a bottle. HALF A CENTURY OF PUBLIC HEALTH OCR present ideas about health and . the prevention of disease are about flft years old. While the first state health department in this coun try was organized In Massachusetts In 1869, most of'the state health depart ments and many of the larger city de partments were organized In the early Before that time the prevention of disease and the preservation of health was largely left to the lndlvid • ual, Just as a hundreu years ago, even in our large cities, the prevention and suppression of fires was in the hands of volunteer fire departments. Public health Is about fifty years old in the United States. What has It accomplished and are the results of sufficient value to justify the expense? In the first ten years, from 1880 to 1890, the germs of pneumonia, typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis; Asiatic cholera, erysipelas, diphtheria, tetanus or lockjaw, and meningitis were dis covered. Since that time there havo been added the germs of bubonic plague, dysentery, syphilis, whooping cough, yellow fever, and scarlet fever. These discoveries led to the purifica tion of water and milk supplies with a tremendous reduction In typhoid fevers. dysentery, and other diseases j carried by water; to the control of diseases carried by insects, such as. yellow fever, bubonic plague and ma laria ; to the discovery of diphtheria ' antitoxin, by which the number of j deaths from this disease have been greatly reduced. The result has been an enormous re daction in the death rate all over the country. In 1880, 42 years ago, the average death rate for the United States was nearly 20 per 1,000 each year. In 1922, It was only 11, about one-half the previous rate, a saving of eight deaths per 1.000 every year, or of over 800.000 a year for the en tlre country. In 1902, there were 34 deaths per 100.000 in the United States from typhoid fever alone. To day. thei - are only seven, a reduc tion of nearly four-fifths. In 1903, the death rate from tuberculosis In this country was 184 out of every 100,000. In 1922, the death rate was 97—about one-half what It bad been 20 years before. And tLe fight atainst disease ia only beginning. Enough has been accom plished ii. the last 00 years. In actual results, to Justify every cent of money that Las been expended. Pout*# Positive Valum Pain In Itself Is not without Its al »le'vlatlons. It is seldom both violent and long-contlaued; and its pauaea and Intermissions become positive pleaa area.

CORSETS AND CORSELETS; PRETTY -HAT TRIMMINGS A LTHOUGH the old-fashioned. ** high-bust and boned corset is as obsolete as the raiment of King Tut's first wife, Its latest descendants bear a family resemblance to It. For com bination garments now do the work of the modern corset and brassiere and are well launched on what promises to be a successful career. The vogue of the straight-line dress demands a cor seted figure and, above all, lines must be right, or the dress Is a failure, so corset-makers find themselves busier than ever. They have not nn easy task. They must make garments that are com fortable, very supple and shapely, al lowing perfect freedom of movement. I 1 I Two Lata Arrivals in Combination Yj \ ' fiarmcntL easily adjusted and to differ ent types of figures. Bonlngs and back lacings have about disappeared from our midst, so that materials must be manipulated to support and restrain the figure without hampering It. By means of elastic materials, combined with broche, satin, brocade and spe cially woven fabrics, they achieve mar velous results In their attempts to give every woman the lines of the Ideal fig ure. Two late arrivals In combination garments are shown here and they are typical of the mode In this kind of cor set or corselet. Corsets and brassieres accompllah th» same results and will not be less Mtm 'f—l -W Group of Spring Milllnory. popular through the rivalry of combi nations. Few corsets extend more than two or three Inches above the waistline and many brassieres do not reach It. This leaves one's breathing apparatus without any Interference. The banishment of the wslstline In frocks ia a long step sbead la the cause of beauty. "Can such things be, and over come as Uke a summer cloud, without our special wonder?" Yea, Mr. Shake speare. they certainly can, far here they are on display in millinery shops every where. Now are the days when we I lager before compelling millinery win dows, full of aew spring beadwsar. considering radically aew shape*, won 4rrfu' colors and the moot whimsical. TTTF. AT.AMANCF.

We can and we will, for we perceive that, more than anything else, the new styles are youthful. Wheu y6u put on these un familiar shapes and your nearest male relative tells you he does not like It, but will concede that you looL ten years younger with It on than with It off—the nest juestion is, "What Is the price of this hatT" Even when their shapes are not eccentric or unusual, the new spring hats are arresting, because of their coloring. There are two distinct classses In colors from two different sources. From Spain we have assef- tlve bat rich and sumptuous shades : of yellow, purple, red, brown, blue and green. From France we have all these colors Interpreted' In pastel shades; they are delicate and harmo nize so well that many of them can b« used together. '' Shape* are greatly varied. Those with the tall peuked crowns are the outstanding novelty of the season. They are not stiff and rigid but have soft outlines and the high crowns are set on brims as varied aa the crowns are. Whatever' you choose, it will be trimmed—lt may be with a bow, or two or three saucy fancy feathers or embroidery or applique or flowers; for a hat to go untrlmmed tbl« «nrlng, l« to commit a style error.
