The popular misapprehension of the effects of exposure to cold or wet is based mainly upon the necessarily rather common coincidence of - some illness or indisposition shortly after the alleged exposure. The. absurdity, unhealthfulness and actual @anger in- volved in the serious acceptance of this myth, which is still urged upon the laity by certain physicians and health officer: are becoming more and more. apparent to enlightened people. It must be a source of anxiety and uneasine: to some doctors and health officers who still maintain that folks do take cold, that the more care less or reckless folks become about ex- posure the less prevalent are the very diseases which these reactionaries would have us associate with expos- ure. You see, there is some chance that the younger laity may notice that fact and begin m wonder how come. To me it is a faction to recall that only five years ago when I wish- ed to purchase oxfords in the Winter time I could not find them in a big city shoe store—they did not keep them in stock at that season of the year because there was no demand; to- day in the same store they sell prac- tically nothing else in Winter. The health officers of two or three cities I could name ought to get out bulle- tins warning the men of the dire dan- gers of exposing their ankles—of course the women have long since proved that such teaching is just bunk But let us get on with the mercury poisoning.

She can be the equal and often superior of any boy she chooses to measure herself against, just by being her own normal self.

I find there are doctors who still entertain the notlon that certain medicaments or poisons are ac- tually absorbed through the unbroken skin. This {8 not so remarkable when we consider how many still belleve in the foolishness about taking cold. A doctor .reports an interesting case of mercury poisoning from the application of mercury ointment to the skin. A Greek walter was ad- mitted to the hospital with the characteristic symptoms of mercury poisoning, yet he insisted he had not been sick and had not taken any medicine for a long time. Finally, however, an intern obtained from the patfent ' the information that the patient had sought the advice of a drug clerk a few days before entering the hospital, in regard to large or hospital size body lice with which he was infested, and the drug clerk had accommodatingly broken the law by prescribing and selling to the simple Greek three ounces of mercury oint ment. . The Greek took a hot bath that night, applied nearly all of the ointment, and got into bed, covering his head with the bedclothing. The following day the symptoms of mer- cury poisoning occurred. Of course the Greek had not associated the use of the ointment with taking medicine, so he did not mean to decelve the doctors in the hospital Now & thoughtless or careless reader might assume that this was an instance of mercury pofsoning from absorption through the skin. The at tending_doctor ' entertained no such notion, but said: “'He probably inhaled enough mercury’” to produce the poisoning.

C. PEATTIE. Narcissus and Daffodils. Is there a lovlier Spring flower than narcissus or its gay cousin, the daffo- dil? None so fragrant, so gay, SO perennially gladdening to the heart as each revolving year brings round. This week they are at their height around Washington. . Of the proud amaryllis family these flowers are the most modest. They have indeed that wonder of the floral kingdom, the corona or central petal- like crown or tube which character- izes so many of this family and gives to them a sort of super-flower. But compared with the gaudy, tropic-look ing amarylli that were exhibited inthe Department of Agriculture’s green houses last month they are a gentle, childlike type of blossom, reminding one of Spring in ancient Greece, when it was the Springtime of the world. For narcissus and daffodils come to us from that classic land where (think of it!) they grow wild and plentiful as dandelions. No wonder that Greek poets were haunted with thelr suggestion of young romance, and artists with the symmetry of their floral patterns. In Greece they must grow beside pools and rivers to account for the legend of Narcissus, - boy who fell in love with his own e in the pool and, neglecting the attentions of the nymph Echo, threw himself into the water and was drowned in the pursuit of his own charms. The grief of the nymph caused the gods to restore him to earth—but as the flower we call nar- cissus, gazing at itself in a pool. So much does our nelghborhood ex- cel in narcissus and jonquils that each vear in Takoma Park and Baltimore prizes are offered at the big shows held at this season. HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON.
