WRIGGLY “JAZZ” ON THE WARE Jazz music and jazz dance stepsl are on the wane. Society has signed ' their death warrant. A little while longer, perhaps, 'the “neckers” and} the ‘-‘cheek-to-cheekers” will wiggle; and undulate their bodies in unison with the syncopated discords of the jazz. fox-trot, the two-step and the toddle, but the end is in sight. Al- ready some dance orchestras have discarded syncopation and saxo- phone, and while they are still play- ing fox-trots to the exclusion of all else save for'a waltz now and then, the measure of the time is such that the grotesque contortions which jazz inspires are impossible. The gliding smoothness of the dreamy waltz of Old is the Spirit of the new fox-trot music.

ORIGIN OF KISSING DUE TO WINE TEST , (London Mail.) In the early‘days of Romeyxwine was offered as a stcrifice. It was im- prOper for the vestal virgins or any of the matrons to appropriate any of he libation. To ascertain Where guilt lay when some of the wine was missing it be- came the custom for men to smell tlmii- kinwomen’s breath. There has never been a date fixed for the origin of this custom, but. it is first mentioned in the memoirs of Pomponious, who presented his lips to be kissed by the deserving nobles. his hands to the less deserving and his feet to the least deserving and least noble. One thing leads to another, and before they knew it, the Romans had invented one Of the most pomllar of human institutionsâ€"that of kissing. Even to-day, with all the modern methods of distributing knowledge. the practice of kissing is unknown among the darkest Africans. In fact, among the remote. barbaric races. the pleasures of kissing are little understood. Erasmus notes that on his visit to England it was used everywhere as a form of greeting. When a visitor entered a house he kissed the father and mother, the sons and daughters, the dog. the cat. and anything else that was kissable. This was repeat- ed when departing.

WE SHOULD BE MEAT BATBRS I In last week‘s Chronicle we gave ‘ under the heading "Food Fads Exâ€" ploded,” 'a length} health article that recently apepared in Collier’s from the pen of Dr. Woods Hutchinson. “'hether or not Dr. Hutchinson is distributing the Views «of the big packing, houses “e are not preparâ€" ed to sa} but there is one sure thing he is adx 11cat1nc principles in eating directlv opposite in View to that pre- scri 1‘01 1l fora good many decades by leading '1hxsic1ans.

Not so long ago people were taught tn 1001; upon meat eatiny as one of the laigest contributing causes of rheumatism. hardening of the arter- ies. Bright’s Disease, and so on. Dr. Hutchinson’s article points out that theSe thmin-ies are a thing of the past, that meat is recognized as the best 0f f oods, better than bread or starchy foods of any kind. Dr. Hutchinson \\I ite‘: "Man. cannot. live by bread alone. {maul may be the staff Hf life, but it, is a clumsy kind of CR1!) without the hmod-I'cd iron of meat to put a point nu it and turn it. into a spear or pike. "As faith without works is dead, bread without. butter is dry in more scnsus than 0110, and the problem of kmiwing (m which side one’s bread is huttmwl should be solved after thc classic fashion of George \V'vushâ€" ingtmi by sccing that it is buttered 0n buth sides. ‘ "'Ilat loss broad? should be our 51091111 and more milk meat bacon i'xuits and 3410011 \egetables.

A- bout a year ago Dr. Alexander Lam- bert (Roosevelt‘s nersonal physi- cian) made an exhaustive study of the records of rheumatism in the largest New York hospital, Bellevue, for thirteen years past. r‘He found, to his delight and sur- prise, that the number of cases of rheumatism (rheumatic fever, acute, particular rheumatism) in propor- tion to all the forms .of disease in Bellevue had fallen off 70 per cent. in thirteen years! In .Other words, there is tOâ€"day less than athird as much rheumatism among the 3,000 patients in Bellevue Hospital as there was thirteen years age! “The only thing. or influence, or change of habits, which could pos- sibly be supposed to account for this was the splendid system of dental clinics and tonsil, adenoid, and throat clinics which were established in the Public schools of New York City about twenty years ago and got :nto full swing about. ten years ago. "When we remember that 'With ”10 wiping nut. 01‘ rheumatism goes tlu'ooâ€"foux'ths of all our stiff joints- and ‘game logs” and aching backs and lumbago and sciaticas, as well as 50 per cent. of all our organic or valvu- lar heart. disease, we can see what a wc-mlerful I'oliof from pain and cripâ€" pling and [immature death we have alrvarly wun. ' “Amther curious straw pointing in the same direction is the report that. one of our largest mineral Springs. specializing in rheumatism, is. after a successful career of nearly fifty years, thinkix g of closing down, ct‘implctely, because of lack of pat~ rnnage. “It is quite true that meat leaves in our blood a considerable amount of waste substance called urea, but it is a perfectly harmless, uonpois- onous waste product. “liven in chronic inflammations of the kidneys, such as the various forms of Bright’s disease, moderate amounts of meat. do no harm what- ever. 011 the contrary, by building up the patients strength they help him to resist the disease and fight his way hack to a condition of bal- ance or equilibrium in which he may live for ten, twenty, even thirty years. , ' “On the other hand, the very worst cases on record in all medical his- tory of hardening and turning to lime (valcificatiOn) of the arteries all over the body, and in the kidneys- :ind intestines particularly, have been found in Trappist and certain orders of Oriental monks. who live almost exclusively upon starch and pulsesâ€"that is, peas, beans and len- tilsâ€"and abstain from meat entire- 1y.” The curate was admonishing the village Sport. “You ought not to spend all your wages. Georg George imlignantly relorted that he did not. “No?" queried the curate, suspiciously. "No, sir,” said George. “I make it a rule never to spend more’n two-thirds of my wages on no account whatever.” “Well, Well,” said the curate pleasantly, “you put the rest in the bank, I suppose?” “No,” said George, “I put it. to a better use’n that, sir.

It is the con- clUsion of a large newsliaper service. The newspaper service “had its men in various parts of the country buy the ‘ordgintary mine-run of hoot: leg liquor,’ and then had the samples analyzed to get ‘an idea of what a man’s chances are of getting poison- ous booze.” Thirty-eight samples. of bootleg were bought‘in this way in fifteen cities scattered throughout the nation. Only two of the thirtyâ€" eight samples proved to he whiskey of proâ€"prohibition quality. One of these. was purchased in Bostonâ€"the other in Washington. Two more were synthetic ginâ€"held passable. One of these samples was from Cleve- land, the other from Los Angeles. “But bootleg consumers. in Boston, Washington, Cleveland and Los An- geles need not jump to tll‘e conclu- sion that because these samples were passable, all boOtleg vended in these cities is safe For othm samples bought in these places pro’ved dan- girous. “Of the remaining thirty-four sam- ples, fifteen were doclored and dilut- ed WhiSkleS or whiskies predueeil from an alcohol base and artificially colored and flavored; seventeen were raw moonshine of waiving degrees of rankness; one “as poor beer con- taining wild yeasts; and one was a distilled wine ofpoer quality. “The analyses shows that when you buy bootleg you got near’ly‘nl- ways a dangerous concoction of col- ored and disguised alcohol, or a raw distillate full of aldehydes and voln- tile poisons that will leave you with an awful head .thg day after drink- ing, and a wrecked constitution after ‘l'ol‘ioatml doses. "The ‘aldehydos’ ‘found in the 111o(*)11s-hi11o 11nd doctorod whiskios, are elements i11to1‘1111311i11io betweon alcohols and acids. They are derivâ€" ed from [hp highor alcohols by the oxidation and removal of a certain hvmlmgen content and the addition of a we rv small amount of ong‘on com orts them into active acids. “ ‘The effect of these aldehydes,’ says William V. Linder, Government chemist, ‘is to knock one out much more quickly than would high-grade whiskey. Their consumption over any considerable period undermines the general constitution to a point where it seems much more susceptâ€" ible to many diseases. While not immediately poisonous, causing sud- den blindness or death, as does methyl or wood alcohol, their effect. is definitely and cumulatively harm- ful.’ “The dangerous element in moon- shine and doctored whiskies, Linder explains. are due for most part to the unscientific distilling and blend- ing. “Moonshine is produced for most part under the most unscientific and unsanitary conditions. The mash is fermented in barrels or tubs, usually in the Open. backwoods or in musty cellars. Under such conditions. the development of wild yeasts and unâ€" wholesome fermentation are com- mon. Many moonshines show evi- dences of active putrefaction. “In distikling, too, all the volatile Just arrived a ship- ment of D.

In commercial distilling, for the production of high- grade whiskies, it was the custom to discard what was known as the ‘heads’ or first run, containing the high aicohols and the more volatile oils, and the ‘tails‘, or the last run. Only the middle run Was retained. “The moonshiner, however, runs \it, all inâ€"heads, tails and middles. The elements'that. the commercial distil- ler carefully eliminated, therefore, remain in moonshine. "Moonshine, moreover, normally receives no aging. Hence. it retains all the injurious qualities inhering to a. raw distillate containing high alcohols, aldehydes and i‘usel oil, and also whatever additional poisons or injurious chemical elements may have accumulated through improp- er and unsanitary fermentation and unscientific distilling. “Aldehydes, high alcohols and volatile oils in moonshine have a directly injurious effect on the cirâ€" culatory, kidney and nervous sys- tems, according to Reid Hunt, forâ€" mer chief of the division of Pharma- c0114: gy, Hygienic Laboratorv 1}.

(New York Tribune.) Among other significant things may he noted that the supply o1 a- vailable money and credit is extra- ordinarily large.

So we may take it for granted that a full meas- ure of prosperity will be with us before many months have passed.

Can a man be in low mm two women at. the same time? is a ques- tion proposed by a newsmper as a subject for summer-time discussion; The poets, who are supposed to be our chief authorities on such mat- ters. are not unanimous. Tom Moore for instance. seemed to favor the af- firmative when he- sang: ’Tis sweet to lhink thug whomever we rovo W9 are sure to find something blissful and dear. And that when we are far from the lips that. we love We’ve but to make love. to the lips we are near. On the ether hand, it, was the same Tom Moore who wrote that: The heart that has truly loved new: forgets But as trulv 1m es on to the close, As a sunflower turns to her god when he sets, The same look that she turned when he rose. But. somebody has pointed out that the sunflower does no such thing. The problem is further cvmplicated by the difficulty of distinguishing between really loving a woman and merely thinking: you low her.
