VARIATIONS In temperaturo represent ono of Nnturo'M best tonics. So world wide an authority as Sir Lauder Urunton bollovca tuberculosis patients will not got better in a cllmato that do'cs not vary from 20 to 30 degrees overy day. Many observers have hinted that tho practical value of altitude treatment Is attributable to tho marked temperaturo variations of elevated region's as compared with tho more cquablo temperaturo average of lower regions. Most ot tho refreshing Influence of "fresh air" is simply that of cool air. This Is tho day of cfllclency. Wo do not strlvo to keep good nnd warm, for tho good die young; we endeavor to keep cool and well. When white men have to live and work In a tropical climate, they degenerato phy sically, mentally and morally, not so much from tho effect, of tho high temperaturo as from tho monotony of tho unvarying climate tho lack of tho stimulation of a change of weather. See tho movies. Oyster Bay, Athens, Constantinople, Naples, Florence, Paris, Vienna, Herlin, London, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Tokyo, Pekln, Jerusalem, Carthage, Sldon, Tyro, Memphis and Babylon, not to mention Blnghamton and St. Paul In Bhort, all the great cen tres of efficiency fall -within 10 degrees of the fortieth parallel of north longitude, which has been called the line of man's highest achievements. The weather here around the fortieth Is delightfully change able. Changeable Is tho only word for it. It is more changeable than any other known brand of weather throughout the solar system, for which Heaven be praised! People who "winter" in mild or soft climates miss tho tonic effect of our good old winter here at home. Especially Is this true or neurasthenics and seml-ln-valids. The bracing northern winter, in a dry cllmato, will do the average valetudin arian more good than the, perhaps, more corqfortable southern resort. Of course there are certain ailments which are better managed In a warmer climate. But, taking it good, bad and Indifferent and that Is the sensible way to look upon the weather our flno, quick-changing, never entirely dependable kind here In the neighborhood of the fortieth par allel is, after all, the healthiest, AH of which Is not a mere reiteration of the perversa views so often expressed In this column.

Smoking While Out "Walking Dear Deborah Jltish Is It pollto for a man to smoko whllo walking In tho street with a woman? J. a. II.

Jrr Deborah JltuihVo you consider It good form tey use tho language of stamps; that la, fur girls und mon to uso It? C.V.G. Tho language of stamps or stamp flir tation cannot lie considered In good form. Thoso who dp make use ot it would probably only do so In Joke. It should scarcely bo considered seriously. Puzzled Dear Deborah Jtush Kindly, answer my questions in your good-form column; 1. Is It proper for a young' man to kiss a girl good-night when at first meeting, hor or calling? Will bo think Just ns much of mo if T don't? 2. I'Icnso tell me, when a girl and fel low don't speak. Is It proper for tho girl to speak llrut and fu'id out what Is tho matter? 3. What Is tho best way to win a young man's friendship? 4. Is It necessary ror a fellow to hold a girl's hands Just when holding it plain conversation? B. Is tbero any wrong In sendlrig a fel low a postal If you go away on n. vaca tion? Will ho think I nm after him? 6. Please tell md If I should meet young men on corners If my father objects to my having them call at tho house? 7. If a fellow has anything belonging to a girl, such as a ring, plcturo or hand kerchief, will ho think wrong of hor? Trusting to hear from you In tho near futuwi and thanking you for your kind ness, J, am sincerely. B1CTTY S. On first roadlng your letter It scorned hard to believe you were In earnest, as surely you could not think there would be any doubt about my answers lo the above questions, but perhaps some one has been Imposing upon your good nature and credulity, so" I will answer the ques tions as you request 1. It would be highly Improper to allow a man to kiss you, especially on so short nn acquaintance. You should allow no one but the man you Intend to marry such liberties. A man might enjoy taking this privilege, but he Would think very iuus oi you ror allowing it. . 2, It would depend entirely on cir cumstances. If you know the young man well nnd he has Imagined some hurt, it weuld bo more Sensible to ask What Is tho matter. I would certainly never stop speaking to any one without a very well defined reason.' , 3, Simply ba your natural self. Any effort to attract is always forced, If you are kind nnd pollto to every ono you nro euro to make friends. 4. It Is most unnecessary nnd a very great familiarity when holding any kind of a conversation, plain or otherwise. B, There Is ho wrong In sending a post card, but It would bo better form to wait lo ho asked . to do so by the man you think of sending it to. 6. You should not meet your friends on corners If you father objects to their calling. Parents Usually have very good reasons for objecting to somo young men calling. 7. Thoro Is no reason why a man should think wrongly of a girl If ho has procured such belongings of hers as you mention.
