"It Is our patriotic duty to put on more clothes, save coal and improve health," was the substance of an-address before the public health administration section of the American public health association by Dr. Jeanet te F. Throckmorton of Claritan, Iowa. "There are fashions not only in dress, but in trendv of thought and morals," Dr..Throckmorton continued. "The impulse ! which moved 'our prftni modesty. ..Of -tehse, that of protection seems most often disregarded by the gentle sex. The custom of -wearing summer clothing in winter is a perni cious one, and the continual chilling of the skin causes congestion of the internal organs with attendent ills. "Erect, carriage and gait are impor tant' qualities and are influenced by the style of corset and shoe3 worn. "Dress and morals are intimately as sociated and modesty in dress appears in demand but little at present. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment hot only in dress but in con duct." .

Some of the amounts seem very small for three weeks and we do not wish co see the work falling off. The needs in Europe are greater than during the war and we have big ob ligations over there. We have big needs here too. We are keeping up with lots of activities. We are send ing a sick man to the hospital where he can get nursed back to health. We are buying $200 worth of blankets to make into sets for French babies and we have a balance in our treasury of only $537.37. This does not go far when blankets are very dear and flan nel for the little shirts costs more than it- ever did. Chicken Day. Next Wednesday we are going to give all our patriotic pennies for the week to the fund that is trying to re chicken France. The Germans took all the poultry from France and it is only by Americans presenting them with an egg apieec so that the eggs can be hatched - out in incubators that this great deficiency can be remedied.
