About I.eprOsy

j. NJ. H.. bemarlc.--lcprosy is a
peculiar disease and has been in exis-
tcnce As far back as history reads. Tho
disease is divided into two forms. baS-
ed on the clinical signs and symptoms.
These forms are: First. nodular tu-
hercular lcprosy; second, anaesthetic.
smooth or nerve leprosy. In the first
form the patient suffers from irregular
rises OF temperature. drowsiness, head
ache. nose bleed and profuse perSpira-
ton Although these signs preccde
lcprosy. they cannot he taken as posi-
tive Indications of the disease for the
reason that these same symptoms pre-
c"dc numerous specific fevcrS. The first
real evidence is tho appearance OF the
lcprous eruption. which shows itself n
slightly raised, shiny, REDEEMED area.
irregular OF outline and usually of "a
copper tint in light colorcd races.
These areas usually appear FIRST on the
lobcs of the ears nose, cheeks or lips.
and gradually spread TO the other parts
become thick and nodular and can be
felt under the skin varying from tho
size of pea to that of walnut. In
the second form the first things noticed
arc chilly sensations and depression.
The patient usually notices shooting
pains. more often along the arms and
legs. The skin in these areas may
be extremely sensitive. In other cases
these pains are absent and the first
thing noticed is numbness of the hands
and feet. together with weakness. more
particularly of the hands. Later I'm the
disease ulcers occur In this form, but
not with the frequency with which they
do In tho nodular type.

DRESS FOR LESS
One Way Women Can Help Win the War
By FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

WASH NOTION, January 4.-Thc Chi
cago Designers Association recently
made the announcement that $500 is a
sufficient years allowance for any
woman's clothes. This is an interest
ing assertion. coming from an associa-
tion whose business is clothes. and
should meet with enthusiastic approval
OF every American husband.
The fact OF the matter is that the
war has brought about an urgent need
for economy il materials. y million
American soldiers must be clothed aud
Shod. as well as fed SO that for once
tho American clothing trade. from de-
sisner to retailer. has permitted itself
the privilege OF being absolutely frank
and telling it's real opinions concerning
womcns wear. Instead Of thinking up
new cktraragant creations to Intrigue
the feminine purse. here we have u
large designers association compiling
what it calls "sanc-drcss statistics"
and insisting that S3no year will
dress = woman comfortably and appro-
priately for any position in society.
How u Should lie spent.
Here is how the association thinks
the $500 should be spent: Three or
four pairs Of shoes. $50: three or four
hats. SIS: ten pairs Of stockings. $40;
one corset, 50: Undertaking. s25: hair
pins. buttons. ribbons. etc. SIS: spring
suit. $50: two summer dresses. $40: ono
sport skirt. SO: three or four shirt
waists. $50: winter suit. S35; coat. SIS:
three pairs OF gloves. $40: one party
dress, $50. furs. $50 and miscellaneous
expenses. $40
Doubtless many flaws may be found
III these sanc-drcss statistics by the cS-
pcricnced feminine mind One woman
viewed the list with appropriate
amount of Scoru due such male in
cursions into feminine fields. and an
nounced that she would love TO know
where two summer dresses could be
purchased for $40. Another explained
that IL men knew anything about fcmi-
nine apparel at all. which they didn't
they would understand that shoes were
moro expensive than hats
However Inadequate the figures may
appear in these dress statistics. the list
is valuable III that il shows what this
sites OF woman's wardrobe. For in
stance. ii is evident that thny consider
a spring suit. two summer dresses and
a sport skirt all that is necessary to
woman's summer wardrobe. whereas
the average woman has several dresses
and several skirts every summer. Also
the list calls for both a suit and "A coat
for winter. whereas many women do
not buy both tho same season.
Always Buy Good Materials.
Another authority on woman's dress
herself a woman. points out that no
clothes budget for ono year can he
properly compiled without considering
what is left over from the year before
She advises always buying good ma

il is possible To buy n winter coat ono
year and a suit the next. wearing each
TWO seasons and using tho extra money
for an afternoon dress each year
Still another womcn's-wcar authority
believes that no arbitrary rules OF
what women should and should not
wear can be made to sui, all women IT
