Fer sudaanly the tnscrutsble leok in Dicky's syes had been interpreted to me, aA4 the answsr filled me with mirth. He was getting even' in amali boy fashion for my refusal to gtve up my work with Philip verit1en unless he dissolved his part nership with Edith. In effect he was saying: ..I'l show you what ] can do when I try" and ! had hard work to keep my risibles in work ing order. for I had an unholy sense of triumph over him. Plainly he had expected me to be sulky and unwilling to accept Edith's aid. My prompt falling in with his plans had disconcerted him. I knew that by . sudden letting down ot his exalted manner.
 Dtcky Phones Edith
 He walked to the telephone with out further colloquy and asked for his office number. And. though ] was filled with glee at his discom- fiture. of which I now was sure, I could not help clinching my fingers in my palms at the tone of his voice as he talked to her.
 "'Lo Ede, how's the girl. Yes. just got in-that is. only an hour or two ago. This is the first chance I've had to telephone. How's every thing? Good! Look here. I don't want you to think I'm asking you to double up as an errand girl. but if you could come over here to the hotel with the mali I'd be eternally obliged. can't get away or I'd come over. Just leave the office fiat. for Madse and Lil and Harry are here, and they'll keep you busy chatting all the afternoon. Here's Madge now. She has an especial favor she wants to ask of you"
 I hoped fervently that there was no indication in my face of my primitive desire to hit him over the head with the telephone receiver and then tell Edith to travel as fast and as far as she could within the next hour. Instead I managed quite a creditable smile as took the re- ceiver from his hand and cooed into the mouthpiece:
 Oh, Ede. get ready to say yes in your prettiest manner. I have much need of thee"

A LONELY YOUNGSTER By Alice Hudson Peale

We live in . big apartment house and my little boy has no one to play with. When take him to the park he is 50 shy that he does not make friends. I think he would love to play with children but he doesn't know how.
 He spends most of his time out of doors standing with wistful expression on his face. watching the other children laughing and calling to each other as they race up and down the pavement on their kiddie cars and scooters. I feel 50 sorry for him. But kindergarten Is out of the question and. until he is old enough to go to school. I suppose nothing can be done about it."
 Perhaps your child is one of those lonely little youngsters who does not go to kindergarten. who has no one to play with. and TO way of mak- ing friends for himself. What can you do for him?
 You can do a great deal. You can SoHtdttS WI tHC iiOthtio Ot the likely looking children you see in the park. You might now and again plan special trips to such places as the zoo or the merry go- round, and invite one or two of these children to come with you.
 On rainy days call in sonic child who lives in your apartment build ing. His mother will be charmed to let him have a change of scene. and the children will have a good time if you give them a proper chance. Leave them alone together See to it that they have the sort of play materials which suggest coop erstive rlay-bfg floor blocks. trains. dolls and housekeeping toys.
 When you have done what you can to provide your child with pIayfellows. be ready still occasion- ally to step into the breach. Be . child yourself now and then Play his games with him and follow his lead. Be his companion as we'll a. his mother.

into the food substances eaten by the chickens that provided the eggs or by the cows that provided the milk. Studies are now being made Of the soil Of the various states in our country and remarkable varia- tions are found in mineral content. Thus in areas near the seashore there are considerable quantities of iodine and this substance is pro- fuse in seaweed. But as one gets farther from the shore there is less iodine, although areas on mountain slopes not too far in may again have more iodine than those be- tween the shore and the mountain.
 In the Great Lakes area and in the far northwest which are fed by glacier waters the iodine is small in amount and in these regions in our country goiter is most preva- lent.
 Iodine Is then one of the most important substances in the body even though the amount needed is less than one part per billion. Ex- act studies of the soils of various places should be made with view to supplying the deficiencies perhaps at their source. In many communities through the advice of family physicians. through schools and through public health officials the public has been instructed as to the necessity of providing proper amounts of iodine to insure the prevention of simple goiter.
 The deficiency is made up by the use of solutions containing iodine. or iodized salts. and Of special tab- lets containing Iodine. Already there is a lessened amount of goiter in these communities.

 So Mother Brown took her tow. els out and spread them on the grass Jenny Wren kept an eye on her and every time she approached the shed Jenny scolded. Finally Mother Brown began to laugh. Not since I was a very small girl have I received such a scolding as I've had this morning." said she.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS EISnBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association ard of Hy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

gcia, the Health Magazine More and more scientific medi- cine is learning the importance in the human body of very small traces of significant elemental sub stances. Of all of these none seems to be much more important than is iodine.
 The normal human body of one hundred and fifty pounds weigh. contains about ore-tenth of gram of this substance. Most of the io- dine in the human body comes in by way Of eggs. milk, bread. wine, water and air and it is deposited in the thyroid gland
 The thyroid gland is an organ with two lobes in the throat ove" the windpipe. Inside the thyroi.. | gland are little spaces with 8 vel low material known as colioid in them. The iodine is kept in this material. As the blood passes through the thyroid glandlt takes up some iodine but the Nmount needed is SO small that the total amount in the blood approMmates six millionths of the total amount of blood.
 The iodine in the body represents about four hundred thousandths of one per cent of the body weight All of the iodine in the body equals | therefore about one tenth of a grain and this is to be round for the most part in the thyroid gland.
 The interesting discovery was made within the last quarter cen- | jury that the frequency of goiter l in many localities was due to the fact that children did not receive iodine regularly m their food. True they were eating the food sub stances supposed to contain iodin. but the iodine itself had to come from the soil into the food sub l stances eaten by the children or

WHY The ANTISALOON LEAGUE IS NEEDED

The Anti-Saloon League was formed to secure the
adoption of q certain policy by the government. 1t
succeeded after more than quarter of century OF
effort. Now the AntiSaoon League is needed to make
that policy successful and permanent It was neces
sary to accomplish certain things before prohibition
could be made part of the Constitution Now 1t is
necessary to accomplish certain things to make sure
that prohibition will stay in the Constitution and
that will accomplish its purpose while it is there
The Anti-Saloon League never worked merely for
law It's objective has always been condition which
could be secured by the enforcement of prohibtory
laws It's purpose has not been merely to secure legal
prohibition, but rather to secure actual SObr1ety
through the complete and permanent destruction OF
the liquor traffic. That objective has not yet been
reached Until it is the Anti-SaloOn League is need
ed and should have the support of all in sympathy
with it's purpose. Enforced prohibition requires en-
forcement legislation The Volstead Act and various
state enforcement acts the result of the Anti-Sa
loon Leagues activities in the legislative field. To
make enforcement laws permanent and to improve
them from time to time requires continued organi-
cation to the end that lawmakers in sympathy with
prohibition may be elected
Enforcement furthermore requires the selection of
officials by election appointment who will use
their powers in support of the law. Without organ
lied support of the right kind of candidates and
ganzed opposition to the wrong kind the Anti-Sa-
loon Leagues objective is certain to fail in many
places Finally without the support of public opin-
ion prohibition enforcement will fail The holding
of public opinion in favor of enforcement is i'm
portant as was the formation of sentiment for the
passage of prohibition laws. Here again the Anti
Saloon League is indispensable.
Even if there were no positive opposition to pro-
hibition enforcement it would still be necessary to
have the Anti-Saloon League in the field to over
the natural inertia of citizenship relative
to something that is everybodys business But with
positive aggressive opposition to enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment, support of the Amendment
by the League is vitality important if it is to succeed
and last.

ATTENTION, ILLINOIS DRYS

We hope our friends will give special attention to
the Suggested Plan of Law Enforcement" appear
ing on the front page of this issue and will also give
careful consideration to the suggested plan OF an Or
ganzation for law enforcement.
In view of the violence of the attack the vets are
now making, we should meet them more than half
way with careful campaign for law observance and
enforcement The best defense is attack all along
the line
THE VETS THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET
In its issue of September 80, the Chicago Daily
NeaoS carries message from Representative Charles
Weber, the leader of the vets in the Illinois Legisla-
ture. MIR. Weber has been gaining strength and
courage for his attack prohibition by six weeks
stay in Germany He comes back apparently more
determined than to overthrow Illinois prohibit
ton.
He claims that they will add liquor referendum
to the Illinois ballot in 1880 and in the next year
that the Legislature will go wet. If we do our part
we that the facts will be the exact opposite
of Mr. WeberS boastfu claim
In order to accomplish their purpose, Mr.. Weber
advises his followers to copy the plans of the Anti
Saloon League Well, that is surely compliment
but it carries also with it suggestion We have been
following the So-called Ant-Saoon League plans
longer than the vets have DONE and therefore
should be proficient at it. If we are, our activ
ity must end in the thorough defeat of this ambi-
tious plan of the VETS We must prevent the refer
enoum in 1880 and the wet victory in the LegiSla-
ture in 1881. We of the Anti-Saloon League office
promise to do our full part in accomplishing this de-
Sirable result.

DECREASE OF DRINKING IN COLLEGES
Writer in "Woman's Magazine" Gives Con-
vincing Testimony

Rita S. Halle writing in the September number OF
Go0dhouSekeeping under the title rs My Daughter
Safe at Coege?" gives the following interesting tes-
tmony on drinking in colleges today after "a trip
through many states and through every kind of col
lege." The author says Il talked with presidents,
heads of residence doctors, psychiatristS, and stu
dents of all types"
Despite conflicting opinions on this subject from
eminent authorities, am convinced that drinking
is not only less in the colleges than outside but that
it is less there than it few years ago. Certainly
the bulk of testimony is such that can feel rea
sonaby safe in sending daughter to college, unless
she is moral Weakling
lone hears many tales of drinking at fraternity
parties The students themselves say that this drink
ing is not done by college girls who would not drink
there if only for fear of being found out 1t is al
most always done by imported girls'-grls from
neighboring towns. For there are still fraternies
which retain the tradition against inviting campus
girls
"But what of the drinking habits OF these men
with whom our daughters will associate in college?
Again, much of the newspaper testimony on this
subject is unrelable-they do not know who the
drinkers are The drinking after important athletic
contests is done largely by alumni. Time and again
alumni who boast Of the superiority of their Alma
Mater give the impression, at reunions that their
college is no place except for the son of the old
soak"
I'm reply to QUESTIONABLE sent out year ago
by university professor II per cent Of the students
replying from colleges all over the country voted for
a rigid enforcement of the prohibition amendment.
Again and again we find student bodies going
record similarly
1.-THE majority opinion of student editors gathered
by the Literary Digest couple of years ago. was
that drinking among students has declined in recent
years. and that per cent would be generous eS-
innate of regular drinkers The editor of tbs Har-
gard Lanpoon said that he had never seen a real
herasing cocktail party outside of the movies"
"Still there some fraternities made up Of
men who know how to hold their liquor, and my
self have SEEN at few of their dances, sufficient
drinking to draw the fire of the nearby presarooms
1t is so easy to generalize from conspicuous mi
nority, no matter how SMALL"

''HICR COST AND HEADACHES OF SIN COOL ClTY'S
YOUTH" SAYS FEATURE WRITER In DAILY TIMES

Chicago's new illustrated newspaper, the Dali
Times (September 27) contains highly interestin
article on the decrease in drinking among youn
people, from which we quote the following:
Is the gin age passing? Is the fire of flaming
youth cooling down? The answer is Eyes, in
each case according to local authorities.
west-side bootlegger gave the answer to the
question He cited the fact that dozens of joints
throughout the city have closed their doors in
the last weeks and their owners drifted into
other rackets
There were three spots in one short block on
w. Madison street that are no more" he said to-
day.
There are two reasons why: The first is that
young people have gotten tired of making suck
ers of themselves, spending money for some
thing that is worthless and waking up with sick
headaches that made them inefficient in tleeir
work, meanwhile the oldtmiers are dying like
flies"
He called attention to the condition of his own
barroom. It was about 10 a. m. Three months
ago the place would be filled with customers.
Today, five men slouched against the stained
bar. Two of them were policemen in uniform.
Their drinks were Free of course.
Coroner BundeSen has offered an interesting
highlight on the passing of flaming youth. He
claims that the best evidence Of this is the fact
that while there are still plenty of automobile
accidents, the number of them due to youngsters
on drunken parties has been reduced consider
ably.
School principals generally report that there
is evidence of less drinking among the extreme
ly young. So do factory and office employees.
