Most women do this, especially In tho stroot cars, nnd f ' aro doubtless unmindful of tho fact ' that thoy aro thereby Inviting danger- 1 ous throat and lung troubles. I havo , often watched women holding coins i ' botwoon their lips, and havo beon ' very strongly tempted to uttor an ad- 1 monlshlng word. Only today 1 saw a beautiful girl glvo a conductor a dlmo.
