New Goats That Defy Winter But Are Easy on Pocketbooks

About this time Of the year,
when the weather decides to
show us that fall is just about
over, when the rains come
down and there's q hint of
snow in the air, we realize that
perhaps we need a warm rain.
coat or a sturdy sports coat
after all. This year the
vogue is for coats that will
serve for both raincoats and
sports topcoats. There are many
styles, invisibly weatherproofed
sports materials, and so on, but
the newest is the reversible
coat.
London Stroller"
This coat that is sports coat
on one side and raincoat on
the other is called the Lon
don Stroller" and originated in
England. A few Of them were
brought back by travelling col
lege students this summer and
the American store people were
quick to see their value and
to copy them. They are now
available in Washington, and

proofed gabardine in a nice tan
color. The other side is a
good quality kemp tweed, in a
nice brown. 1t is completely
reversible, even to the belt, and
the straps on the sleeves. You
may wear it belted or. swinging
from the shoulders swagser
a S hion, and the lines are
splendid either way. It's price
is $16.50 and it's well worth
more.
A New Polo Type
Many people still prefer a
polo coat for an all-weather
coat, and it serves admirably,
as most polo type clothes are so
closely and well woven that they
turn away rain or snow. The
newest coat is one with width
at the top, somewhat in the
manner of the new English
suits that men are wearing,
called the drape suit, though
the fashion is not masculine
necessarily, for women, too, are
putting more and more fullness
at the top Of the sleeve.
This coat, which we've also
sketched today, is of a new cloth
with a Silvery thread in it, un-
usually soft and lovely. The
silver note is carried out in the
belt buckle, into which your two
initials go in silver. It is lined
with new satin called "colutte,"
which is guaranteed to last the
life Of the coat. It comes in
brown or natural, and is in
Junior sizes, IL to IT. The price
is $19.75, though you'd expect

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.
A young man in New, York
had pain, and a lump in the
abdomen. His surgeon operated
on him and found there was
cyst of the pancreas. In COM
pleting the operation it was
necessary to allow this to drain
on the surface of the body.
The condition afforded the
opportunity for the study &c
human pancreatic Juice. The
secretion from this patients
pancreas could be collected and
studied outside the body.
The pancreas is the most ir'"-
portant digestive gland in the
body. But up to the present
time there have been few op-
portunities to study pure
pancreatic Juice from a human
pancreas. Most Of our knowl-
edge on the sunbject is from
studies in the dog.
The pancreatic secretion will
digest all of the three food
stuffs-fat, starch:s and pro-
teins. The fat-digesting engine
is called "lipase," the protein
digesting engine "trypsin," and
the starch-digesting engine
"anylase." These engines are
all extremely powerful and
extremely rapid in their action.
The fat-digesting substance is
present in the highest proper
tion.
Variations in diet do not
seem to make any difference
in the relative proportion of
the three digesting substances
in the .pancreatic juice. This
is strange, because the body
is highly adaptable and under
most circumstances if an excess
of one substance in the food
is present, the particular
digestive juices for that sub
stance will be proportionately
increased. The fact that the
fat-splitting ferment, lipase, is
constant in the pancreatic juice,
is probably due TO the fact that
it is the only digestive sub
stance for fat in the body. It
works in conjunction with the
bile, which enters the intestine
at about the same place and
prepares the fat for digestion
by the pancreatic secretion.
Another curious thing in
this case was that although
this pancreatic juice seepcd
out on the patients skin, no
digestion of the skin occurred.
The question often arises why
the stomach does not digest
itself. The only answer that
we can give is that appar-
emily for digestion of meat it
must be activated in some way
by some other digestive secre-
ton. If the skin had gone
into the intestine this activa-
tor would have prepared it for
digestion by the pancreatic pro-
tein digestant, trypsin.
AS with all digestive secre-
tions, the pancreatic juice is
poured out in great quantity
Immediately after a meal. The
smell and taste of appetizing
food stimulates it to activity.
Then 20 minutes after begin
ming a meal the amount Of
pancreatic secretion increases
seven or eight times.

George Sheldon's will, made
before Lenox was born, left all
OF which he was possessed to
his wife. It had never occurred
to him to change it, after the
boys birth. There was a cov-
ering clause in it, in which
Sheldon set forth that he was
cogniZant that children might
be born to him, in which event
he trusted his wife to provide
for them.
Elizabeth had wished, but
not audibly, to be married
from her own home. Louisa,
in her planning, anticipated
this. She remarked, merely,
that it would be simpler in
every way for the wedding to
take place in New York, that
as Elizabeth had been a mem.
Der Of the Sheldon household
for some time there would be
nothing unusual in the ar
rangement.
Ella and the girls would come
on, of course. There was
plenty of room, and they could
be put up for several days,
quite comfortably. Louisa
would give the trousseau.
Not Perturbed
Elizabeth's mother and sisters
had written. 1t seemed to
Elizabeth that they were
curiously unaStonished that
such a miracle should have be-
fallen her. Yet they wrote
lovingly to the verge of Senti-
mentality and she read their
letters of admonition and affec-
tionate rejoicing with such un-
concealed tears that Louisa,
watching her, thought her far
too emotional. And she knew

Louisa thought-caf- -love-and
resigned herself to the position
of involuntary spectator until
late spring-and after.
Once, however, in early
winter. she turned on the stair,
after bidding them good night,
and surprised them there at
the foot of the long flight,
p1oveless and embraced. She
set her teeth and went on up
to her room, having made no
sign that she had seen.
Arriving, she closed the door,
and sat down in straight
backed chair and looked un-
seemingly ahead of her. She
was trembling. she did not
know it. She said to herself,

morning.
