KISSING.
There appears to be no abatement of the habit of kissing, in spite of the repeated warnings that bacteriologists have issued. The writer, rot wishing to enter where angels fear to tread, therefore prefers to leave the question of kissing between adults entirely alone. In tho case of children, however, there is something that must be said
They are, bacteriologicaliy speaking, " cleaner " than adults, but less resistant to infection. It is unwise for adults to kiss children, but rr uch worso to allow childreu to kiss a.dults.
For a child to " kiss good-night " to several adults befove going to bed, or, indeed at: any time, is a measuro that should be absolutely condemned, and it is to be hoped that reflection will result in this advice being followec by nil parents who have el sericus regard for tho health of their children.
