rhinitis subject is smaller, say Ave

times day over a period Of two or
three months in the year.
What amount or form of parathyroid
or thyroid gland extract one should
take along with the calcium lactate is
question for the medical adviser to
consider. But the experiment Of
| taking calcium iactate alone Is without
any risk. at any rate, whether 1t does
any good or not.
Occasionally a dose Of calcium lac
tate in tablet form proves irritating to
! the stomach. If so, it should be broken
up to a powder and taken in about
half a glassfui of water. Tho best
time to take it is after meals.
In the judgment of SO good an au-
thority as Prof. Henry C. Sherman Of
Columbia University the ordinary
mixed diet OF Americans in cities and
| towns is probably more often deficient
in calcium than in any other chemical
element That fact may have some
bearing on the prevalence Of the
diseases mentioned. This is merely my
conjecture. Normally, about three
pounds of calcium enter into the struc-
ture Of the human body.
Foods rich in calcium and perhaps
not freely enough used in the average
American urban household are cheese
(au kinds)). fresh milk. egg (the yolk
particularly, dried beans, almonds,
walnuts, peanuts. cabbage, carrots,
oranges. oatmeal, prunes, unmilled

MRS GERTRUDE f. ATHERTON.
Novelist
BY EDNA VI. COLMAN.

Gertrude Atherton, California author
Is regarded in England as the great
est living American novelist. Her
DOCKS and stories. numbering above
80, have always been popular. Mrs
Atherton has also won recognition as
a lecturer
She has had two children, one of
Whom died in early childhood. She
insists that she was born to write
and was never fitted for the domestic
routine. She is a great-grandniece of
benJamin FRANKLIN, and is of Califor-
MIA birth. Her carefully planned edu<
cation in private schools and under
special instructors was terminated by
her very early marriage and a very
normal everyday life was upset by
her husbands death. Then she set
out to carve career for herself in
the line she loved best, and Travelled
extensively. Much of her time has
been lived abroad.
In describing a dish she loves, she
qualities it as one used by her Span
ish mother-in- law. Not being a cook,
Mrs. Atherton does not go into the
minute details and processes.
Select the required number of sweet
green peppers. the long slim ones
making an attractive dish. Put them
in hot ashes or roast them in the
oven long enough easily to remove
the outer skins. Remove the seeds
and fill the peppers with sliced Amer
lean cheese, nodded to fill out the
shape. Roll in batter of flour and
eggs, butter and little salt and then
fry in butter. These may also be
baked in butter. Serve them very hot
with hot cream.

Americans have taken up the sleeve
less fashion with more or less ap-
proval.
In any large dressmaking estab-
lishment in days gone by there were
special sleeve workers, sleeve drap-
ers, sleeve trimmers. There was
special art in setting sleeve.
1t looks very much as If sleeves
were coming back into their old
prominence. At any rate, in recent
ShoWlngS of new clothes for Autumn
and Winter the sleeve seems to have
taken the center of the stage
LanVins sleeve is really -impor-
tant Don't forget it, for you will
hear from it later. 1t is sort of
melon shape, with all the curving at
the outside, widest at the elbow and
quite close fitting at the inside. 1t
was doubtless inspired by sleeves of
the seventeenth century. Some of
the charming ladies that Nelasauez
painted wore sleeves of this 'propor-
ton.
Generally the tendency seems to
De to hold in any fullneSs there NAV
pe below the elbow with a tight cuff
at the wrist. Sometimes the sleeve
is close hitting to the elbow then
expands, only to be drawn in around
the wrist Much liked by the smart
french woman is the sleeve that is
long and close fitting, f1aring at the
wrist to form a background for the
hand.

Buying Knickers.

There's a knack to wearing knick-

consider that there's ii knack to buy

Now, if you would he absolutely
sure of nifty knickers," consider,
first of all, fit. 1t is disastrous to
get knickers too tight, especially if
you are inclined to be stout. It is
better to err on the side of looSeness
than tightness. And if you really
feel conspicuously bulky in knickers
you may prefer one of their Varia-
tionS, such as the "judporeS, which
are long, fitted trousers with strap
under the foot These being shaped
instead of fulled in, as are knickers
proper, and continuing down to the

below the knee, do give a more grace

Or you may like to avoid the en-
barrassment of unduly exposing
your overplumpneSs-or overthinness
either, for that matter-by choosing
instead a three-piece knicker suit,
consisting Of coat, knickers and wrap
around skirt. You can wear the
skirt whenever it does not hamper
you in the sport in which you are
indulgng. or you can don it at such
moments as you feel most conscious
of the critical public gaze.

during the period of adolescence is
threatened. It's character will be
firm, it's disposition serious, it's men
tality quite above the average. This
child, although it will not find much
pleasure in the companionship of
playmates and only very little de-
light in outdoor amusements or
recreations, will give very little
cause for worry, as it's conscience
will be it's guide quite as much in

If today is your birthday, you pos

will. No matter whether it is the
politician, the neighbor, the parson

opinion, deserve your criticism-and

Destructive fault finding never ac-
complished anything worth having,
whereas judicial approval has often
evoked greater efforts which have
ended in certain achievement Per-
sistent "knocking' is based very
largely on conceit, as the knock"
implies that the "knocker" could
have done better than the "knockee."
Such an attitude estranges many who
would otherwise be your friends and
causes an alloy in the true spirit of
friendship and association.

can pack the knickers along to make
their appearance later. Let your
coat be generously long, say 36
inches, with plenty of pockets, and
let your skirt by amply full.
Materials are of primary impor-
tance, too. And you must bear in
mind that since knickers are design
ed for distinctly rough wear, the ma
only look well at first, but will hold
up" under all sorts of abuse.
Corduroy knickers, for instance,
may look charming in the shop, but
though corduroy is ordinarily warm,
general wear, for the fabric does not
shed rain or snow, but becomes heavy
and cold when wet.
Khaki is a good choice if worn
with plenty underneath, for the cloth
is closely woven, and so is an excel
lent wind break" to use as an outer
layer. Tweed homespun and briar-
proof garbardine are all good selec-
tions. too, and they make up" into
distinctly smart knickers in the deep
knee-cuff style.
Camel's hair in the natural shade
seems especially appropriate for
knickerS to wear in the Fall, and it
is warm, comfortable material.
Fine wool is excellent for this type
of garment. too, but when you de-
eide on il you will usually get it in
the form of riding breeches-which
can be worn for all purposes for
which knickers are suitable-instead
of the regulation knickers.

Calcium Lactate.

The benefit derived from improved
calcium Uime) metabolism in cases
of asthma, hyperesthetic rhinitis AMI
hay fever IS receiving more and
more recognition. AS / have ex-
planned in former talks, scientific in
vestigations of the blood have shown
that there is a lowered calcium con-
tent in these disease conditions. 1t
is not always enough, however, to
take more calcium in food or in
medicine. Although that does seem
to bring considerable relief in many
cases, it is probable that there is
some peculiar deficiency in the capa-
city to metaboliZe or utilize calcium,
in most such cases, and this func-
tional deficiency must be taken into
account Physiology teaches that the
parathyroid gland controls in some
way the metabolism of calcium in the
system. Experience teaches that the
administration of small doses of para
thyroid extract along with some form
of calcium brings about improvement
in the diseases mentioned when per-
haps calcium alone fails. And as the
thyroid and parathyroid functions are
intimately related, some physicians
maintain that minute does of thyroid
extract in conjunction with calcium
treatment will accomplish the same
purpose.
A British physician reported last
year that he was able to obtain excel
lent results in the treatment Of an
other disease which is characterized.
like those mentioned, by more or less
periodic seizures. with calcium lactate.
At the first warning Of the approach
ing attack of migraine (periodic sick
headache} the victim takes 80 grains

Indeed, they should not be left out, for
they catch dust, and brush it through
the hair. The mems military brushes
are easier to handle, and have shorter
brlStles, therefore are easier to clean.
An inexpensive, wooden-bac pair is
quite good enough. and can (and
should) be kept in the dressing table
drawer.
Well brushed hair does not get
dirty, easily. When the scalp is alb
normally dry, you should not shampoo
more than once d month. Yet if you
live in the city, you cannot really
keep your hair clean over that pc
riod. But if you brush it vigorously
once a day Cat night when you take
it DOWN and a little whenever you
do it up during the day, you will
keep it clean enough to be healthy
at least. Besides, you will stimulate
the oil-producing glands of the scalp,
SO that it will be less dry.
Wash your brushes often. once or
twice a week, or you'll be brushing
back old dirt. And every few days
put big puff of absorbent cotton
over the bristles, after you've brushed
the hair, and polish it-that is, brush
it again. The cotton takes off dust
and dirt; in the case of billy hair, it
takes off grease too. 1t makes the
hair beautifully glossy.
I. ID. MA mucilage made by dis
solving either gum tragacanth or
ounce seed will make a simple curl

Dampen the hair with a gummy fluid
and form into curls, tie into place to
dry, and then comb and shake out
all the dried particles of the gum.
The blotchy look that shows occa-
sionally on your skin must come
when your digestion is poor. At such
times drink more water and eat less
Of all rich foods. A fast for a whole
day would be still better; and when
ever you feel hungry, drink a glass
