waEw Patriotic Duty to Save Coal and Improve Health, Says Iowa" Physician. CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 17. "It is our patriotic duty to put on more clothes, save coal and Improve health," was the substance of an address before the public health administration section of tho American Public Health association associa-tion today by Dr. Jcanctte F. Throckmorton Throck-morton of Claritan, Iowa. "There are fashions not only in dress, but in trend of thought and morals," Dr. Throckmorton said. "Tho impulso which moved our primitive ancestors lo adopt dress were, first, vanity, next protection and lastly modesty. mod-esty. Of these, that of protection seems most often disregarded by the gentler sex. The custom of wearing summer clothing in winter is a pernicious one. nnd the continual chilling of tho skin causes congestion of the internal organs or-gans with attendant ills. "Erect carriage and gait are important impor-tant qualities and are influenced by tho style of corset and shoos worn. "Dress nnd morals are intimately associated and modesty in dress appears ap-pears In demand but littlo at present. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment not only in dress but in conduct, and we must teach them that they have a responsibility toward young men and must not dress so as to attract or arouse sex instinct "We must teach our sons that they, too. have a duty toward womankind as well as towards their country, and that true patriotism demands that they should observe social morality and self-control, and thus keep America's forces at highest efficiency."
