THE ALANTA GEORGIAN
A Benefit of the War—
. Beards Off
The war has taught at least one of the fighting nations—
France—that hair on the face is foolish.
Throughout the French army the order has gone, ‘‘Shave
your face clean.” Any many a sad-eyed French woman will
wonder what has happened to her dear *““mari’’ when the hero
comes home without the black whiskers or the beautiful little
pointed mustache.

be thanked for it i
The Frenchmen lving tn the horrible trenches, in filth that
could not be overcome, soon realized that it was foolish to carry
around on their faces a warm fuzry nest in which microbes might
breed. (American doctors who wear beards please note and try
to make up your minds to sacrifice the germ carriers that you
wear on YOUR faces. Please believe that the day has gone by

and a big, bushy beard helped him to look frightful.
The male lion had his mane, and in that there was some com.
mon sense, for it made it difficult for the other lion to bite his
neck and get at the jugular vein.
There was common sense also in the big beard on the face
and neck of our savage ancestors. For when primitive men
fought, they had long canine teeth like wolves, and they bit each
other’s faces and throats, and the whiskers probably protected
them.
But the imagined value of whiskers as a protection against
teoth and a protection against the cold has been exploded.
And today the beard of man is simply a monstrosity that
holds the dirt, makes i 8 diffoult for the prosperous, and almost
imposeible for the poor, to get their faces really olean.
The beard is a nest for disease-breeding germs of all kinds.
The dootor with whiskers who puts his ear on the chest of a
child—that, for all we know, may have scarlet fever—and then
goes on to some other child and puts the same ear and the same
set of whiskers on that other ohild's chest is committing a crimi
nal act, and we propose to say so quite often.
Of two doctors equally intelligent, take the one that has the
intelligence to shave his face.

But the weak chin gets stronger when the whiskers are
shaved off. And the weak mouth gradually gets stronger when
the hair is cut off. The change may not come in one generation,
but it comes in several
One word to women: Please stop praising and encouraging
beards and mustaches. If you want to be responsible for the

¢ DON'T believe in telling
I everything I know,” said
pretty little Mrs. Dimples
-—*“only part of it.”
Every one laughed and then fell
to discussing the subject of what
we should tell and what we should
keep to our very own selves.
We were a goodly company of
women, eating a very goodly
lunch, and when we all started
talking at once about the habit of
telling too much, which is said
to be feminine in gender, I
couldn’t hear, really, what anyons
said, so I had a few minutes to
look at Mrs. Dimples and try to
remember what she had ever
*“told” that she should not.
1 knew her house was just what
she had always wanted. John
Dimples had let her plan it ex
actly in accord with her fondest
dreams, and John was the best
man who ever lived. I remem
bered hearing her say that many,
many times.
“Well, I am very certain it is
a bad policy to tell anyone any
thing,” sald Mrs. Sour, making
herself heard—for at last the dis
cussion had arrived at the discus
sion point. “Talk abopt the
weather when you're with anyone
outside your own family and avoid
trouble.”
Yes, I could understand Mrs.
Sour’'s “safety first” signals.
“But what are we to do?’ ex
cleimed Mrs. Sociable. “You
would make us all sit here and
Just eat and eat and never say a
word after the weather ceased to
interest.”
WHICH TOPICS ARE SAFE.
“Well, there are a good many
subjects similar to the weather
and equally safe,” said Miss Busi
ness. “I know a little of what
Mrs. Sour means from carrying
around with me all the time the
affairs of my two employers, and
my own. I know of an Instance
where a woman happened to men
tion, when at luncheon as we are
today, that her employer would be
leaving in a week for the country
and she could then take an after
noon off now and again. The wife
of the last man in the world who
should have had that information
heard the remark and a matter
involving a big sum of money
‘fell through.' No one knew why
except the wife of the last man in
the world and her husband.”
“It doesw’t seem to me that it's
80 much telling or not telling,”
spoke up the Grandmother, “as it
is a question of possessing a moral
sense.” She had listened quietly
and not said a word tili now and

GRANDMOTHER'’S DARING.
We were all about to gasp at
Grandmother's daring, but she
turned to Mrs. Sour, who sat on
her other side, and invited her for
dinner the next evening,
“No,” she went on, “T'm not

be we'd help each other through

Every one of us was silent for
a minute when Grandmother fin

crowded around her to shake her
hand. There was a bright pink
spot on each of her cheeks, hut
nothing else about her to indicate
that she had tasted the “deadly

The discomforts of a hot spell
are real enough, but so far as its
dangers to either life or health
are concerned, its bark is worse
than its bite. Instead of summer
being the sickly season of the
year, it is the healthfulest one of
all four.
The records and figures of
practically every board of health
of every city and country in the
temperate zone show that the
months of the lowest death rate
are almost invariably July and
August, while those of the highest
are February and March, making
late winter and early spring the
real sickly seasons, Spring, joyous
spring, is really the deadliest sea
son of the year, though it is only
fair to remember that this s not
because it is spring, but because
it comes just after winter,
Part of this superior healthful
ness of the heated term is due to
the fact that it 1s the one open
air and open-window season of
the year. Even the most rabid
hater of fresh air has little fear
of a draught in August, and will
let you open’ a window without
glowering murder at you, so that
cars and offices and shops ane
places of publie gathering, as well
as houses, Actually get a chance
to be ventilated at this season of
the year as they should be all the
Year round. But more of it is due
to the much greater control which
we have gained over our environ
ment and our increased power of
protecting our health from the
dangers of hot weather,
But, objects someone at ones,
how can this be, unless we can
control the weather or modify the
thermometer, and not even the
Weather Bureau do that? To
which the mwru that the
chief danger of hot weather 1s
not the mere heat and its direct
effect upon our bodles and
nerves, but the changes which It

drinks, and the ways in which
it makes easier the spread of
