TRUDelNe FOR THE WASH.

durance, doubtless as a result of the
survival of the fittest" for many
generations. The laundry workers are
an example of this. People come in
from long distances to get soiled
clothes of city customers. The clothes
will be placed in big panniers on the
family donkey, and the peasants will
start back late in the afternoon. Some
of them will travel all night, and it
will be sunup before they reach their
homes, many miles from Lisbon and
Oporto, A day or two later they are
trudging back to deliver the clothes,
now spotlessly clean, and to get an
other lot from the same patron. Many
a countryman and his wife take
jaunt of fifteen miles or more, which
makes one think that there might be
many who could rival the feats of

THE HIGH COLLAR
MAKES ONE OLE

MAKES ONE OLD.
We are now told by eminent author
tiles that the stiff, high boned col
lars which women wear bring on old
age by constantly pressing upon the
thyroid gland, thus causing it to be-
come degenerate and producing pre-
mature old age.
No woman who has had this condi .
ton explained to her will ever want
to return to the uncomfortable and
dangerous high collar again. For some
time past fashion has given it a cold
shoulder, and if women once realize
that it destroys beauty and brings on
old age, along with its natural discom-
fort, they will eschew it forever.
Old age is a disease characterized by
the abundant growth of connective
tissue, diminution of the oxidations
and a condition of Naturalization"
This disease is cau"ed by the degener-
alton of the glands with internal Sc
cretions, especially the thyroid. The
preventive treatment of old age is no
less possible than that of any other
disease.
To prevent old age coming on too
soon the first condition necessary is
the possession of healthy ductless
glands, say the doctors. OF course,
this depends upon heredity But the
next generation can be benefited by
the present one taking proper precau-
tons along this line.
It is easy to see that tight collar
offers difficulties to the free circula-
ton of the blood through this thyroid
gland, and, therefore, it is advisable
to wear loose and also low one One
would think that women would be
quick to avail themselves of their i'm
munity from a yoke which men have
voluntarily endured so long a time.
