ABOUT GOITRE
By a Physician.

Goitre is one of the most mysteri-
GUS of diseases. 1t is caused by an
enlargement of the thyroid gland in
the neck, but no n knows just what
causes the enlargement
There is a theory that it is caused
by some mineral in drinking water,
but this theory has not been borne
out by fact yet. 1t is true, however,
that goitre is particularly prevalent
in SOME localities. In n section OF
Switzerland, for instance, goitre has
been common since time out of mem
ory.
On the other hand it is known that
the mind has great influence over the
disease, that worry and fear can
greatly enlarge the gland and thai
a hopeful frame of mind can avail
to reduce the enlargement.
The only effective remedy for goitr,
is the knife. The operation is mo-
severe. but 1t is a cry delicate one
| Indeed there are few surgeons in thil
| country who are qualified to perform
it. 1t involves the removal Of a par
of the thyroid gland. Care must bs
taken to leave a part of the gland
otherwise the patient will die a lin
gering death.
No drugs or surface application
have been found that are of much
use in the treatment of goitre. Some
times mild cases are cured by time
The swelling simply disappears al
mysteriously as it came.

BEAUTY WRINKLES

Uncooked vegetables and fresh
fruit constitute the prescription Of
beauty specialists for those who
would acquire a beautiful skin. Fresh
tomatoes are considered as healthful
as delicious, and especially tomato
juice, taken frequently. will be found
to have a beneficial effect on the di-
gestive organs. Not only in this way
will the tomato work good results on
the complexion. but for mild cases
of sunburn and freekles the juice of
ripe tomatoes is excellent.
Eaten ip small quantities and well
masticated, the cucumber is included
in the list of Summer beatifiers, and
1t is we'll known hat cucumber cream
and lotions are unrivaled as cos
metics.
Radishes, too, despite everything
generally said to the contrary, are
recommended by one authority for
wrinkles, being eaten in sandwiches,
the vegetable chopped fine and par
taken of before the solid portion of
a meal.
Lettuce Is not only a narcotic, but
1t is said it will lower the tempera-
ture, and besides this it is an ex-
cellent blood cleanser.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have been keeping company with a
very interesting young man, n ! am
very much pleased with him Jas regards
Ills character, etc, but @he has bright
red hair AMI often wears a red necktie
and red socks and when we are walking
along the street the fellows laugh and
jeer at him. This is very notifying to
me. What would you advise me to do?
He is going away to school in the fall
n he wants us to become engaged be-
fore he goes. I think we should wait
until he finishes school. VIII you please
advise me which You thing the better
plan? s. A. D..
Some of our most admired men
have had red hair, so there is no
need to feel sensitive on that point.
If l were you I'd buttonhole the
young man kindly, though firmly. at
some suspicious time and give him
a lesson in the principles of color
harmony as applied to neckwear and
hosiery. Don't be afraid of him..
He'll appreciate your suggestions.
You are right in preferring to post
pone becoming engaged until later.
You will both feel. easier for not
being pledged.

Helps for Obesity
Dear Miss boon:

Dear Miss Doom:
| am a girl, still in my teens ] am
very stout, having been that way all my
life. IS
Now, L want to do what j started to
do several times before. l want to go on
a diet, If you think that it will do any
good.
What and how many times a day shall
i eat? l haven't much time to go out Tor
a walk, but 7 work around a store and
am always on my feet walking around).
Thanking you in advance, l remain,
READER.
1t is said that stout girls have small
lung capacity and that this Is u 10
lack of deep breathing, so this is an.
important point for you to consider.
This surely you can do without. gong
out Of doors. If only before an open
door or window during the day ana
again before retiring and rising In
the morning. A good exercise to
practise is to stand perfectly erect.
then carry both arms out and up over
the head, and, bending the trunk for
ward. touch the foor without bend
ing the knees. This nay be difficult
al first, but after a time It Will be
quite possible to reach the floor WITH
u effort. Also practise standing on
the toes. and. stretching the arms
high above the head, pressing up and
dow at the same time. All of the
arm extension movements are good
but they must be practised vigorously,
as though. weights were held in the
hands.
Another exercise specially pre-
scrfbed for stout people. is to throw
a soft rug on the floor. then roll over
and over in one direction several
times. then reverse. Skipping rore
will help you, also. This you might
practise in the mornings before your
cold sponge. or plunge, # you can
take the cold plunge. Practice
quicker movements, sleep less and eat
less. By eating less is not meant
starvation, : but elimination of
starchy foods, too many liquids and
sweets and pastry Use SKINNED
milk, instead of cream, and eat only
lean meats, avoid too many potatoes,
but eat plenty of green's, such as let
tuce, watercress, spinach, asparagus
and such foods. also fresh fruit, and
remember to eat slowly, f1etcherize
your food well and do not nibble be-
tween meals.

FEATHERS AND RUFFLES

AS change from Robespierre col
lars, or big Toby frills, the short
ostrich ruff is the most becoming
thing one can place round one
throat. In black, in white, or pale
gray, tied with a knot of soft ribbon
under one ear, 1t is ideal with a
tailor-made costume. and is almost a
necessity in the late afternoons with
the low necks of our smart frocks.
White marabou is pretty, too, and
not ruinousiy expensive, but it must
be the fill marabou plume and not
the little scrubby bits that make so
many cheap boas.
One of the most effective toilettes
seen was a black taffeta coat and
SKIRT, with a wide sailor collar of fine
white net edged with lace and the
carer had one of these short ostrich
feather ruffs round her neck and a
very fine white lace veil pinned
round her large black hat. Both
style and color were simplicity itself,
but the toilette was full of that de-
sirable but elusive thing we call
"cachet."

Gus in his attentions. When a man
of 40 pays court to a girl with a view
to matrimony he does not trihe with
her or leave her in the dark. l would
make it a point to bring the issue to

A Question Of Law
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly settle a dispute? A
says that a woman can make a will and
leave her share, of the property of which
her name and her husbands are on the
deed to her husband. but if he gets mar
ried again it goes to her children. Re-
member his property was not hers before
she got married.
b says a woman has no power to make
a will, only of what she has before mar
rage. MRS. G..
The law regards a husband and
wife, as such. to be one person and
not two. Therefore, If a deed of prop
erty Is made to a husband and wife,
as such. Jointly, they become the
owners of 1t not as two separate and
distinct persons, but as one person,
and in law are called tenants by the
entirety" AS between the husband
and the wife there is but one owner.
and that Is neither the one or the
other but both together. The es-
tate belongs as we'll to the wife as
to the husband. Neither can dispose
of it by deed during the lifetime of
the other. or mortgage 1t without the
consent of the other. Upon the death
of one of them the survivor becomes
by operation of law the sole owner
of the property and can dispose of it
as such either by deed or will. but
during the lifetime of both of them,
that is, while both of them are living.
neither of them can make a will of
the property, because the interest of
the one first dying ceases at his or
her death and the n who survives
becomes the sole owner of the entire
property.

A FASHIONABLE FROCK IN
BELTED STYLE
BY MAY MANTON

Girls are wearing a great many
belted costumes this summer, Or
those made with the blouse in the
Russian style. This one is smart
and girlish in effect and altogether
attractive, and it can be made from
linen or soft finished pique or from
n of the thinner, lighter materials,
such as lawns, batistes and CHAM
.orays. The six-gored skirt is fin
ished with an inverted plat at each
side and box plaits at the front and
at the back, so that it provides am
pie freedom, yet the plaits are
pressed SO fiat that the straight
lines remain. The back of the blouse
is tucked, too, to form a box plat
give the continuous lines that are so
smart. This suit is made of white
linen, with collar and cuffs of the
same material eyelet embroidered,
out colored frocks with white collar
and cuffs are much worn and are
charming, and figured and striped
materials are trimmed with plain 10
give a good effect. This collar is
square and the effect is a good
one, but round collars are equally
fashionable and are more becoming
to some girls. and either style can
be used. Belts of patent leather and
belts of the material are having
equal vogue, too, but white patent
leather over a white dress is pc
culiarly smart, and black patent
leather makes an excellent effect
over blue, rose and other colors
Corduroy, pique and cotton benga-
line are fashionable materials. The
frock made from one of these in
one of the pale rose shades with
the collar and cuffs of white linen
scalloped on the edges and with a
black patent leather belt. would be
very attractive and very smart in a
quite different way from this dress
for change of color and difference in
treatment will completely transform
any model.
For the 10-year size the dress will
require 6 yards of material q. ~

with Y yard 81 inches wide for the
collar and cuffs.

ABOUT SITES

A sty on the eyelid is caused by
bacteria working down an eyelash
and injecting the roots of the lash
and the part of the eyelid surround
ing 1t. Sometimes a sly can be
checked by pulling out the lash at its
centre and washing the lid with a
saturated solution of boracic acid.
The frequent use of this solution
in washing the eyelids will generally
prevent the formation Of sites.

evidence of injudicious eating. Folks
who's diet is we'll chosen, who don't
eat too much. and whose digestion
is consequently good. don't have cam

such sores is better care for the
