He stops hesitatingly and lets his eye gently run through the lines that follow: • Great bargains in fine madras shirts. ! Shirts were .5:2.50 and $3, now > only 95 cents. ' ' ..

By the time the average man has read that seductive description he is on his way to add one more to .the crowd of men who make the men's shirt depart ments of the big shops look like win ter Monday bargain counters. Mr. Brooklyn was not so weakly led. : Mrs. Brooklyn buys all his shirts, and he would never have fallen and be n the cause of the introduction of the el bow sleeve shirt if he had not changed one evil day last week to pass along Fulton street in the efaopplng district. Mr. Brooklyn knew nothing .of the e\Ts of the si;mmer-shiit-barga;n ha.bit, and in his innorence he fell a erne when the rainbow-like vision of a window full of shirts fell upon his eye with the sign in big letters: "Two dollar and fifty cents shirts for S5 1 cents." - "Maria always pays $2 for my shirts, I believe,'" soliloquized Mr.'-Brooklyn, "and I think I heard her say the other day that I needed a couple more. I had bet ter drop in and rave her the 'trouble of coming dowu. These are certainly very reasonable in piice." Mr. Brooklyn dropped in, selected two comfor; able-looking blue and white' Ghirts, which were really a credit to his good taste, and ordered them sent home. Then he took his first real lesson in shopping. He required al6 shirt, but the only shirts of the k>nd he wished ' ■were !ii',... it was in vain that- the clerk held up to view beautiful pink shirts, ami . red shirts, green shirts. Jayeoder shirts, "White shirts, and combinations of a I the colors. The ma-culne mind is not so different from the feminine, and the more the clerk dilated upen the pink and lavendc-r shirts the more Mr. Brooklyn tii tired his first choice of hk>... shirts and nothing e"s?. - . "You send those home, anyway/ he said fina:ly, "I like a large shirt in sum- I mer, and 1 think those will be all right." The shifts were rtally excellent. Mrs. Brooklyn, was delighted, and Mr. Brook- ' lyn wa3 puffed up with pride at this his nrst shopping venture. The only trouble was the sieves were too ions. "1 wiil take them off a little at tiia top." .said Mrs. Brooklyn.. '"It will be no trouble, and the 3hlrts are too pretty to send back." V t v; "Wo, 111 take them around to .the tailor ; to have them altered," said Mr. Brook lyn. "We are late in getting: out of town ! this .war, and you have .enough to do " "Nonsense," replied Mis. Brooklyn '"it : will take no time, and if you carry the •shirts to the tailor you might jwst as well hay© gone to him in the first place and had the shirts made and paid his ! price." , ■ . Mr. Brooklyn said nothing more but after luncheon when his wife had 'gone out he took the two shirts to the tailor was properly measured, and had the Bieevwi shortened. They were sent horn* and in the bureau drawer again before ' Mrs. Brooklyn return d. gb* did not - ye them another thought until the following: ' morning. . ; yi" —"There.. I must attend to those shirts first tit n." she said, "or Mr.' Brooklyn .. will be wasting money taking them to the ' tailor's. I oitfht to . have S had him try I them en again, but 1 have .a good eye and I know they need to be shortened .about an inch. If I A* he wilj say ii three, for ho. Hkes his «Jeev«« "so ridic ulously short. Very ' likely they will shrink, too, vhen : they are washed." Mrs. Brooklyn tat down In her own room, < and in a jiffy ; she hud ""shortened : the si.-' vi folded the shirts neatly, and put them away in tha drawer with a sigh of satisfaction. "That is a good, job done," she said, as she gave them a little pat before closing the drawer. "Dear old Tom wi.l be ko pleased when he finds them ready .to wear. . I never would have believe..! he would have known enough to buy a de- • cent shitt. 1' -- : That afternoon Mrs: Brooklyn was out again, and Mr. Brooklyn** maiden sister, who lives with the family, had a happy thought. . *'£.■•; ■■There!" she exc'aimid, suddenly, "Maria has forgotten all about those shirts, of Tom's and the next thing he will want to put one on, he is s<> proud of them, and ti^ey will not be ready. I will shorten the sleeves my self." Miss Erooklyn hurried up stairs there upon, speedily found the shirts, took ' them to her own room, and sat down to 'work, smiling to herself to think how • surprised every or.« would be. ;, '•1 suppose I ought to measure them," I she said to 'herself, "but I have a "pretty j good eve and I noticed they were very : long when Tom had them an and he j likes a short sleeve. 1 know that of old. lie always did when he was a little f.i --! low. Then the cuffs make them longer. I I will take off two inches." . :■}-'. --j M;ss .Brooklyn worked away all the af j ternoon, smiling and humming: as old- I fashioned air, finished the shirts, and put I them back in the bureau. "What a hoy Tom is!" she said as she gave thtm a litt'e pat before closing the drawer. "He was as pleased as a child about buying thtse shirts." The next morning was hot and the Brooklyn family was to leave town for the summer. "It is so warm this morning," remark ed Mr. Brooklyn at the breakfast table, "that I think I will put on one of those shirts I bought. They will be quite good enough to travel in." "Yes, indeed, I would," said Mrs. Brooklyn. "They will.be just the. thing. I suppose he has ' forgotten; all about the sleeves," she thought ,to herself, sup pressing a smile,' "but he will find that ..'uajpi[U.o OM) ejiii'siu BUBIV puß uipj,,, ..--•CBAi.tUB' 'Al>BcU I[B BJB S.3\\-\ thought Miss Brooklyn. "There, they have both of them forgotten that if the sleeves of those shirts had been left as they were they would answer for gloves as well" as sleeves. It is lucky I am here to look after them," and she smiled a contented little smile.of self-satisfaction. There were only a few last things to do before the house was closed, and while Mrs. Brooklyn was attending to these, Mr. Brooklyn went up stairs to dress, and for a few minutes everything was quiet. Then came a roar from the upper floor: '•Maria, I say, Maria, can you come here? What in—Oh, my gracious—Good Lord—What in thunder—Maria, I say, Maria, will you eorr..e here?" Mrs. Brooklyn, terrified, tore up stairs with, more speed: than, . her increasing avoirdupois would allow her upon ordi nary occasions'. Miss Brooklyn rushed from her room into the hall, which Mr Brooklyn had reached by this time and where he stood, flushed ana 1 angry the ■perspiration roiling down his face, both arms outstretched, bare below the el bows, which his shirt sleeves hardly reached. .

I Boards of health are often obliged 'to call "upon the poJice to assist tiiem In i carrying out their hygenic plans, for the good of the community, In compelling,. the individual to comply with sanitary regulations, but it is seldom that the po lice have recourse to the board of health. ' i-fiibeek, Germany,- howewr, has found an ! Ingenious method of ' regulating -public ! meetings and restricting the -.number «f agitators at public 3 demonstrations, -in which zeal g*>t<s the: better of modera- ■ tion, by decreeing that, "in the interest of the health -'of.. the Individual it 'iv unions' there shall Ue at;least an area of at. least three-quarters of a square rqeter for each person." ■ " ' '•"..'. This has set up a "merry war" among the people of Lubeck, for the halls that have hitherto accommodated from two to three thousand people will nt>w admit but 80?, calculated by •; the art a at command. While a moderate sufficiency of fresh air is thus guaranteed the good. people of Lubeck, free speech is. to a great extent cut off and they feel that their -rights, if not their voices, are being throttiefi. While.this decree.was promulgated, pri marily and solely, in the interests of so cial laws, it is a good precedent for the limitation of congregations within public, buildings, in: accordance with their breathing capacity rather than their seating capacity. :-./;•„"££.-, ■•;.';■ '■' ' -■.- Sunday headache and theatre malaise are due, in a measure, to partial asphyx iation and .intoxication from too small amount of air, air that is viliuteg", at that, by foul if not infectious breath, the breath of consumption, of catarrh, or in seasons of epidemics, of the grippe or perhaps the plague. Aside from acu c disease the individual hi subject to nervous enervation and psy chic intoxication not only from the vit iated and limited amount of air, but from the environment, the languor-inducing heat, the blinding glare of th? lights, the intoxicating effluvia of a thousandd mingled odors, good and bad, and the in fectious psychical and contagious physi cal emanations. Even a cough is conta gious, witness the nervous church-cough which follows a F-sason of suppressed emotion or enforced Quietness. Witness . the lecture room yawn, which is indeed excusable when the speaker Is prosrucal and tediously long-winded. Witness the uniformity wiffl which watches are con sulted when one man sets the <?xarri;l'\ These, however, are of minor impor tance. They are the humorous incidents of nervous contagion and infection. The more serious ones are more subtle and insidious. They come with the reaction that follows action, they come with the morning, with the don't-want-to-got-oct of-bed languor which always follows late hours and feverish excitement. These are the over tense strings of the harp of life strained to brilliant concert pitch, but losing thoir vibratility, under over wrought tension, responding to nature's master hand with harsh and fejeWe dis cords or snapping asunder, making the music mute. Even as early as the sixteenth century, Kar.etorious realized the importance of fresh air and plenty of it. In his aphor isms he recommends that in time of pes tilence divine service bo held in the open air instead of in churches, that infected people and healthy people may not be congregated together in confined places. Furthermore, h e proposed to separate* the pest-afflicted from those in the same house who were not yet stricken, and ha warr.-ed people against buying fowl in the open market lest they should have been handled by those having the plague. As the warm summer months prevail throughout the land, you will see gospel tents blossoming, their white ex panse, in the city's hollows and the coun try's valleys. This is the vacation time of Gods people, and these tents, scattered throughout the land, give the lie to those who say, because the city churches are closed, God is on a vacation. These carping critics say, furthermore, that the Devil, w.ith a big "D," never takes a vacation. That is true,"perhaps. but as one tires of all work and no play, so one may work so liard at un righteous ness and the pleasures thereuf that he becomes exhausted, and longs for quiet rest and a spell of righteousness. Then the devil is such a hard and exact ing taskmaster that people sometimes think they will take a vacation, if he does not, and thus through over zeal he loses a votary, who go-s over to anoth er side. People who live in city rooms speak of going out into the'streets to get fresh air, where there is no fresh air. Sani tary authorities have recommended "that when a new street is laid out the direc tion of the streets should coincide with that of the prevailing winds, for ex perience has proved that cross-currents passing- over a street have but little influ ence upon the air contained between the buildings, as in a well. Everyone .knows that at the corner where two streets in tersect there is usually more of a breeze and this is further proved by those who aid not notice it at the time, by the cold or rheumatism which often follows a street corner .gossip. City air, under the best conditions, has less oxygen than, country air: it is loaded with organic and inorganic impurities poisonous gases, bodily emanations, dis ease germs, g miasma, etc., and Is less vital than country air, that is, it -does not .support life so readily. When a person from the co.un.try comes ■to the city he must also become accli mated. A feeling of .slow suffocation comes over him. He is afflicted with palpitation of the heart, breathlessness, oppression, hea*ache, loss of appetite in digestion and' a host of ills which he himself attributes, and possibly his doc tor attributes, to anything .but the right cause. The, man is simply suffering from impure air or perhaps oxygen , starva tion. -•"*".. His -blood is not sufficiently aerated; its ■waste products are not oxidized; they accumulate in the system; the brain is poisoned; functions are paralyzed and the whole body suffers. The city room is Of necessity «ma'H. Ventilation is difficult; since windows, if they are in the plural, are side by side, and it is almost in:.;oo:rsible to get a di rect through draft. Hygiene teaches us that when the amount of carbonic diox ide in the air is one per cent in a thou sand J.he air is. noxious, and ; flwe per cent J*t positively dangerous. A commission at Paris considering . the question, " "How Much Air Should a Close "'■ Room •Con tain?" decided that a room fourteen cubic .meters was small enough and : that one less than ten cubic meters .was danger ous, inducing slow asphyxiation, and they further showed that this a.'r should be renewed every eight to ten hours or ap- : proximately two or three tinjee a d ay. Even the size of the Windows has an in fluence upon the ventilation, and there should he a .clear opening of at least three meters by .one meter, ..: ( ;: The gospel song, "Are the Windows Open- Toward Jerusalem?" lias some thing more than...Scriptural omea-oing, for the mort pious person who does not throw open his x wird>ws. and I . breathe fresh air occasionally Is likely to have an aspiring foul in a weak body. . . -'H There is no rule as to when and how much air shall be admitted for you can not measure air by the meter. r Pure air contains in ICO parts 21 of oxygen and 79 of . nitrogen. . The air which we breathe contains a certain amount of; carbonic dioxide, and if it were not for the plants, the ' .percentage would soon j; come -so great that all animals would be stiff6 ■eaited. For this reason, contrary to popu- ; lar opinion, it is a' .good idea to have"a" few plants in the hoiife and evpnln the sleeping room, for plants breathe as well as man, but by a bejaeficien.t>lan .of co:r. pensaition, what is death to one is i*fe to the other. While a : plant , cannot .. re new the air it canrenora.te it, that, is it does supply a percentage of 1 oxygen whi-eh goes far to counteract the viti'a'teit air. ; ,:■-:■■-.. -. : i ... -. >:The.weH man can. to a certain extent, regulate tbe air *• breathes, at wii], but if! * tLade B & f^us%l ?
