Simple G0iter.

The word goiter is used to express
an enlargement of the thyroid gland.
It is due to a need for iodine existing
in the thyroid gland, and this lack Is
brought about by a deficiency OF
iodine in the food, the water and tho
air.
There are definite goiter sections
existing in the United States, and the
prevalence OF goiter is far more
marked in these regions than in other
territories not so deficient In iodine.
Simple goiter is q swelling in the
thyroid gland and this occurs quite
frequently in young girls and boys
and in women during the pregnant
period. When the amount Of iodine
taken into the system Is insufficient It
IS during this period, when greater de-
mands are being made upon the
thyroid gland. that the swelling oc-
ours.
1t has been found that even in
goitrous regions young girls may,
without the use of drugs or any out
side aids, show a gradual reduction In
the size Of the goiter after puberty Is
passed.
The sources in iodine In nature are
milk. cereals, leafy vegetables. some
fruits, and water derived from non
goitrous sections. Sea salt, seaweed,
sea foods and sea water are rich in
iodine, SO that sections Of the coun-
try where use is made Of sea foods
and where the air is rich in iodine
will show many less persons suffering
with goiter.
1t Is conceded that II one eats a
generous and wholesome diet contain.
ing those foods rich in iodine one
Is hardly likely to develop goiter. ex-
, cept a slight enlargement due TO the
causes stated above. 1t is not neces-
sary. in fact. to give much thought to
ones iodine intake unless such an
enlargement has begun. Then one
should consult a physician. who will
describe proper doses Of iodine, which
will make UP for the systematic lack.
These are not matters for amateur
experimentation.
We hear much these days Of get.
| ting ones daily allotment of iron, and
now ones daily allotment Of iodine.
Most Of these lacks can be taken care
Of without any more thought than

| sistins always Of milk. meat. eggs,
fresh vegetables and fruits. whole

| foods appear on the table daily, in
| one or another. one can sQuelch any
| panic due to q fear that one won't

health and vigor.
When goiter Is present even in it's

by the use Of iodine in greater
amounts than the person is able TO

Gay parasols of paper make you feel
that way.
1t may be that the romance Of the
long ago time. when parasois were
carried by royalty and little girls
knew them as symbols of kings and
queens and princesses of the blood,
still hangs about the pa.rasol. What
ever il is. the fact is clear: Young girls
from toddIers TO Charleston experts
love gay parasols and gather some
thing stimulating to high spirits
under their fairy tinted shadows.

woefully enough. parasols are forever
being lost, and paper ones cost much
less than silk ones. Besides they are
far prettier, far lighter in the delicate
fingers that twirl them, far softer In
the light they shed on the sweet young
faces beneath them.
We owe tea TO the Chinese and silk
and much lovely coloring. but would
surrender the best cup of pekoe or
the finest bit OF brocade to purchase
a paper parasol for an eager little
girl. I've known them TO cost far less

Glass.

So plentiful and cheap is glass that
we are apt to forget that in some ways
it is the most marvellous substance
in our houses. Few other substances
in nature are transparent, and per-
haps no others SO permanent il not

steel can do with use. Also glass
can be made to take any desired
shape and can be wrought into more
elaborate forms than any metal or
substance whatsoever that has the
least durability; also it can be spun
to almost microscopic fineness without
breaking. These properties and other
chemical properties of glass have con-
vinced scientists that glass is not a
solid but an infinitely viscous liquid.

Paper Parasols.

Children love the sunshine and do
not know when they have had enough
of 1t. They will run about in the heat
of the day until their faces are flushed
and their skins hot and dry. One
must guard them. They do not like
to wear hats. / don't blame them for

help it. Only the dread of the head
ache. bound to follow. prevents me
from losing the conventional panama
that perches itself betwixt me and the
heat of the sun. Children have no
fear of the headache until they have
had II several times, and we cannot
afford to let them gain such expensive
experience.
Boys just have to wear the tiny lit
tie caps of lightweight material and
grin and bear it, but the girls can have
gorgeous paper parasols If there IS
some kind-hearted group-up in their
circle Of friends. A paper parasol is a
thing of beauty, and the girl who
doesn't feel like royal princess as
she twirls one over her head has never
been born.
Hats shut out the air. no matter
how lightweight they are. and to be
truly effective they have to have
briIns. A hat with q brim is a. truly
troublesome thing when you're all hot
and sticky and fretful and the ice

street. A gay paper parasol Is much
better. For little girls, little wee ones.

fairy to buy.

The woman In charge of this re-

result of long training in library and
In social service. She is n graduate
of the Albany Library School, and
was for many years in charge of the
circulation department OF the Boston
Public Library. beginning at the time
when the Sergeant and Abbey pic
lures were being installed. Then for
six years she was here in Washing
ton as secretary of the library of
Congress-, with q subsequent year as
chief of the order division.
But the desire for closer contact
with people than she was able to get
In her library seclusion sent her out to
Cincinnati and into social service
there for IL years more. After this
she went to New York with the Ma
tional Girls Friendly Society, and
later with the New York Bureau of
Labor, where she was particularly
interested in the immigrant aliens and
their problems. The fact that she
had spent, in all, five years abroad
at one time and another made her
especially sympathetic with their
point Of view.
These human contacts were prepar-
ing her for something still different,
however, and when she was offered

With that he stalked heavily
from the room. Natalie regarded
the closed door with @ dubious ex-
preston in her slightly amused eyes.
Then the amusement left them and
she ran into the corridor.

the dance?"
Eyes. Why?"
hurried into her room and with the
assistance of a maid, began to dress
for the affair at the Long Island
Country Club.
Natalie Crane had already guessed,
piecing together what Jimmy and
her brother had previously told her
with the report OF the quarrel at the
club, that the proposed trip was In
timately connected with q rivalry be-
tween the two men over Frances
I.assiter. Woman's intuition had told
her that in the first place, when
Jimmy had admitted where the
wager had been made.
How deeply Jimmy was involved.
Of course she did not know. But
she did know that she wanted him
TO win, whatever the stakes, for his
own saka Consequently, she was at
pains to meet and talk with the girl
whom she had seen but once before
Frances Lasdter, darling OF the
younger set, into which she and Billy
were just returning, after a pro
longed period of mourning following
the death of their father, which had
left them alone with each other.
Frances Iassitea-, however, showed
no particular disposition to cultivate
her. In fact, It became quickly evi-
dent to Natalie. as the dance in the
big ballroom began. that Trances was
not particularly interested in cult
