FASHION’S EFFECT. (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Sept. 14. In an address to the Sexual Reform Congress to-day, Mr Bernard Shan stated that the woman of the nineteenth century was a masterpiece of sex appeal. Women since then had taken a large step toward nudity, hence sex appeal had vanished. “Bring back clothes and sex appeal will be increased.” added Mr Shaw. DRESS AND DISEASE. WOMAN’S ALLEGED FOLLY. * ‘Why is it that 50 per cent, more women than men aro going into the sanatoria?” This question was asked by Mr W r . T. Lill, chairman of the Ashburton Hospital Board, in the course of a discussion at the last meeting on the treatment of tubercular patients. His answer was as follows: “Because they are so foolish as to clress as they do.” Mr G. S. Hardy: That shows that men are the hardiest of the race! Mr A. Horsey said it was because of the conditions of life under which women work. A woman stood over a hot stove and then went outside into the cold air, and this, repeated often, had a bad effect on her. Mr Lill said that 96 per cent, of the people were born with tubercular germs in their systems. Dr D. A. Bathgate, medical superintendent, stated that a great majority of the people, over 90 per cent., had tuberculosis in them at some time or other in their lives, but tho British race had a natural immunity from tuberculosis. A child, say, has a feverish turn, but then is well again, and it might bo that it was suffering from tuberculosis. Mr Hardy: You can never put back into a man what comes out. A man is never the same again after lie has been to the sanatorium. Mr W. Bryant construed Mr Hardy’s statement to mean that there was no cure for the disease. Dr Bathgate, on being appealed to, said that patients discharged as “cured” certainly were cured. Mr Lill said lie had been given to understand that, if the problem was handled properly, tuberculosis would be wiped out completely in 50 or 60 years. A Member: What about heredity? Mr Hardy: But tuberculosis is not hereditary. Dr Bathgate: Now you are delving deep! Members agreed, and the discussion was dropped.
