Here's a Novel Dressing Table

Boudom furniture seems to have been spying on the frocks in the wardrobe. and is going in for curves and flounccs.
 For women who have never liked the cold angles of ultra-modcrn furniture. the flounced dressing table expresses all that is cozily old fashioned.
 But the new flounccd dressing table only looks like the old; in reality under it's flounces, it might be almost anything, even useful.
 There is, say, that radiator. AL ways it seems to spoil the pie turc' you have made of your room The flounced dressing table wil easily cover this ugly note, Of course, the cold creams and things must stay cool, so the bottom Of the table should be lined with as bestos.
 For the modern handy woman h is almost no work at all to make a flounccd dressing table. A plain, unpainted table; three or four wards of 3G-inch chintz; a yard of flannel for padding. and tacks - that is all that is needed, except for a glass plate the size of the ta- ble top, and a mirror.
 If chintz does not fit the mood for the room, dotted Swiss, taffeta or similar fabrics may be more to your taste. For perfect harmony, the same material may be used for flounce drapories and bedspread,
 Put a double fold of the flannel on the table top - fit it tight aat tack, neatly finishing off the two front corners. Use three or fonr widths of flouncc, with the trim ming in place and gathered O pleated 10 the exact length.
 X tape of the material, or ruch ing, is neatly caught in place 10

YOUR HEALTH
D>- Dp NIopRIS EISHBEIN

BY DR. MORRIS F1SHBElN Editor Journal of the Amerlcah
 Medical Association and of lily
 rcia, the Health Magazine
 Whenever public health authorl- ties want to evaluatc any ne" method for the control of a disease they study the death rates over period of years previous to and alter the introduction of the measure con- cerned.
 Thus Dr. Walter w. Lee of the Indiana State board of Health has assembled the figures for deaths from diabetes in Indiana and m Nassa chusctts for the years from 1900 10 1927. The specific method of treatment known as msulln was first introduced in 1922 and it has q certain effect on the disease About 1910 the modern dietary treatment of the disease was estab- lished and this also has had den nitc effect in lowering the diabetes mortality rates.
 During the war there was re- duCtlOn III uldbcltS uN"'il'2 V ii'-'' the experts associate with the dl- unfinished consumption of sugar ana after the war there was q rise Whlch is associated with the rise ill sugar consumption. The diabetlc IS un- able to metabolize or digest sugar properly and the taking of extra surar throws a burden on his in capacitated tissues which they are unable to bear. These facts seen significant but it has not been cer- tainly established that sugar con- sumption is an important factor m the mortality from diabetes.
 Among the interesting obserNa- tions of the statisticians is the fact that the rates for males in Massa- chusctts exceeded the rates for fo- males in 1890 but the ratio was re- verscd after ten years. The rates for both sexes increased rapidly until 1915 when the rates for males became more or less stationary, and now show q tendency to decrease while the death rates for females are still tending 10 increase.
 Of particular importance is the fact that the death rates of chll' drcn for diabetes have been drop ping steadily since 1915. There was a time when diabetes in child was considered an incurablc and fataN disease. Now the use of proper diets and of insuln not only per mts an extensive prolongatlon ot ! life but the evidence seems to in 1 dicatc that in some instances chll- l drcn recover sufficiently to live prac- l tically normal existence.
 The person who dies of diabetes does not always die of the disease i itself. Not infrequently there arc | incidental complications such as gangrene or infections which cause death promptly. Moreover, diabetes
 may complicate such diseases as tu' i berculosis, cancer or diseases of the stomach and intestines and make tho
 difference between death and the
 possibility of recovery.
