dividuality in mind. If she has loads of precious jewels, complete set of pretty but inexpensive cos tune jewelry isn't going to make much of an impression. On the other hand, one fairly good piece - per- hapS a sports clip to wear with sweaters = is . fine idea.
 The old rule about giving peo- pie things thaty wouldn't buy for themselves is 8 good one to follow. If woman you know has been dys ing to join reducing class of g gymnasium, consider 8 course m one of these for her. If another always has wanted to have person. ally engraved Christmas cards, you might give her few dozen. How ever, arrange for these to be sent to her three weeks before Christmas.
 Bedroom slippers always are a safe bet. Wool and fur-lined ones, pat termed after oyershoes, will please the college girl who studies in her bathrobe. New mules are cut higher across the front and are much more comfortable. The best stockings for gifts are sheer as cobwebs and as dull as the wrong side of the old types used to be.
 If you get stuck, you always can send orchids. Even though she brides herself on the fact she doesn't crave such l,ixuries, an or enid corsage vii lendear you to her heart just the same.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

It must be done slowly and through the CHILD'S OWN EX- TERRENCE. He himself will wear it down, by discovering each day that there is safety" in water, or dogs, or the dark. Little by little the dread passes.
 Who would think that water dread" cure may begin with such simple object as soaked sponge, half inch of water in the tub; later the shallow, sunny brook and then the fish pond? Who suspects that dog fright might be overcome by the cuddlesone puppy that drinks milk-and grows so slowly that size attained is not noticed. Or that "dark-fear" may be oblierated by the hall-door being closed a half-inch more every week. Only through his OWN EXPERIENCE and his own thoughts may the child be helped. NOT by the super-im- posed will of others.

Strange that one day should produce two news stories so nearly alike-one about a man who de- veloped 8 phobia against railroad trains, at the age of two; the other about 8 pole-climber who abhors chairs, porches and low ladders.
 Another proof of early shock re- sulting in later terrors.
 An engine in the night roaring up to station where he stood with his mother accounts for the Chicago professor becoming a near hermit. Phobias grow, you see. He not only dreaded engines after that but anything that might surprise and terrify him.
 The pole-climber fell off a chair at six. In time he became increas- ingly mortified at any "short height" Possibly his determination to conquer his fear led to his pro- fession. But he never succeeded in dynamiting that first terror. Low elevation-a foot, two feet, four feet. Beyond that he lost fear.
 Every Phobia Has Cause
 This is the first time I have heard of this special type of pho- bia. There are others much more common; the one against small rooms or any shut-in place is al- most an everyday affair. Some times such complex has left a men, tai scar SO deep that the afflicted cannot stay in ANY ROOM, or beal the sight of wall. A result of ac- cidental trapping in childhood, ol being shut in closets for punish ment.
 Still another, almost the oppo- site, is dread of space, especially ar open place behind. Those suffering from this cruel dread instinctively seek a wall to stand against, ol something equally protective. A re- suit of sudden "boos" from behind in the dark. or being seized from behind, or chased upstairs, Perhaps from some incidental or imaginary fright, but something that ap- preached from the rear.
 There is always a reason.
 When the complex is "set" (the parent usually discovers when it is beyond home help) the wiSest course is to seek the aid of a psychiatrist. Marvellous cures are being worked constantly, but like everything else it takes time. AS for the parent, there is much she or he can do. Especially if the fear has not reached that point called "phobia."
 Cure Must Come From Within
 The water r-scared child must never be forced into water. No use taking Billy, who for some reason or. other has developed water fright to the edge of Q pounding surf: or throwing him into swimming pool You only deepen the fear. He may pretend he has licked it. He may even learn later to do high-dive sts1nts. But each time he will ex- perience agony before he makes the i jump. It will wear him out and lead to other mental unhappiness
 No use setting the bitten baby ] on a mastiff's back and say "nics iogBie."

WE DOCTORS HAVE OUR 7
 DELUSIONS TOO.

Theslate Sir Thos. Legge's Indus trial Maladies," published by the Oxford University press last year, and edited by Dr. s. A. Henry, H. M. medical inspector of factories, Liver pool, is accepted as an authoritative work, both in England and in Amer ica. Sir Thomas was eminent in the field of preventive medicine and oc- cupational disease. He was so firmly established at the top that he had the courage to regret more. than once that he had not gained some experience in general medical, prac- tice as, a young physician; for he realized his lack of such training was a handicap in his ife's' work in Preventive Medicine. ,4
 In the first chapter Sir Thomas enunciates several axioms. among them that Practically all industrial lead poisoning is due to the inhala- ton of dust and fumes; and if you stop their inhalation you will stop the poisoning" From this one would infer that Sir Thomas Legge had no funny notions about absorption of lead through the skin. But in speak ing of industrial poisoning by api- line, dinitrotoluene, dinitrobenzene benzol, etc., the author proves faith full to medical tradition. He says:

-BEAUTY--- Glorifing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

She probably mas told you that she needs new house dresses, pan for the kitchen and fabric for dra- peries, but if you want to make mother doubly glad that you're her child, put at least one beauty gift in her Christmas stocking.
 If her own hasr has been strag- gly for months because the budget has been slightly unbalanced ever since the children started back to college in September, pay for fine permanent wave in good shop and hang card that says so on moth- CTS side of the Christmas tree. Ii you want to do the whole thing ur right, buy her several scalp recon- ditioning treatments that she can get prior to the appointment for the wave.
 If her dressing table, except for one cream and the makeup she simply has to have, is quite bare how about a treatment box that contains two creams, a lotion and a powder base especially suited t. her type of skin? If you can't fig ure this out for yourself, ask one of her best friends to advise you.
 Housework being what it is as far as hand beauty is concerned, mother undoubtedly would love 2 huge bottle of lotion and several pairs of rubber gloves. You might look at new little sets which con- tain gloves, treated inside with al- mond oil. special hand soap and 9 hand cream.
 A manicure outfit, with cuticle remover. lots of orange sticks and emery boards, powder polish ane buffer as vel as neutral colored liquid enamel and cuticle cream tc use ct night makes a perfect gift for one who does her own nails.

What Your Diet

 Medical Association, and of

 If you take 5000 calories of food every day, 12 per cent of the diet will come from milk. That means that you should drink at least one pint of milk every day.
 However, survey made in Florida shows that B per cent of city chil- dren and 28 per cent of rural chil- dren were not receiving enough milk.
 Dietary authorities are unanimous in saying that milk is the most nearly perfect food, and therefore probably the most important. At least one-fifth of the family budget for food, if it is restricted, should go for milk and cheese products.
 Among the vegetables and fruits essential in well-balanced diet are carrots, tomatoes, and citrus fruits, These should make up at least 12 to Is per cent of the total amount of calories for one day. s
 If you take cod-liver oil regular ly, you may cut down on the total amount of butter you eat, but, if not, you should take enough butter to provide you with vitamin A. Cod liver oil concentrates and tablets do not provide the same amount of calories that the oil itself gives.
 Sugar, used principally as flavor ing, should make up 10 per cent of the total calories. Eggs, cheese, meat, and other flesh foods should make up an additional IS per cent.

 she started to pack it for New Years weekend, her appreciation was some what diinmed by the fact that 1t contained no soap dish and no com partrnent for a toothbrush.

These essential foods include milk;- cereals, two or three vegetables, including leafy ones tomatoes, oranges, and one other fruit; eggs, meat. fish, cheese, dried beans, peas, and lentils, and finally cream, butter, oleomargarine, nut butter, bacon, suet, or some other fat with certain amount of the es- sential cod liver oil.

Watch Your Gifts

=
 Speaking of watches, there are those who hold that round ones are smarter than square and oblong types. In any event, good watch, jeweled or otherwise, is sure to de- light any woman from your great aunt, Martha, who may leave you her fortune some day, to your per- feet secretary, who needs recogni- tion for the way she protects you from insurance agents. Less ex- pensive watches are set in bags, lip- sticks, compacts and cigaret cases and are smart enough to thrill even the spoiled young thing who has everything.
 Even though you're tired of being reminded of it, you really ought to do something about the monogram situation. Anything which bears more than one of her own initials is ample proof that you thought about her at least three weeks before Christmas. Anyway, monographs are widely used, fashionable and the correct answer to the problem of how to personalize an otherwise im- personal gift.
 Underwear sheer and filmy and cut actually to fit the figure should be trimmed with her three initials, perhaps in the new type of shaded lettering. A blue satin nightgown might have initials in matching blue on one side and Per- sian rose on the other.
 Handkerchiefs (unless you knew she likes colored ones for sports and casual year, you'd better pick white) can be ordered with shaded mono grams, too. So can scarfs and negli- gee and bathrobe belts.

Today's Health Question

Q-Is there a safe cure for the tobacco habit? Do you know of any drug which can be put in my husbands coffee to make him stop smoking?
 A.-No one has ever devel- oped any drug which can be used in this manner. Most phy- sicians are convinced that the only way to stop tobacco smok- ing is to stop. This means that the will of the person must be strengthened toward that end.

 New York These intimate, personal gifts women always love to get at Christmas are presented in glamorous new versions that make this years shopping less of a pleasure. Underwear, gloves, bags, stockings, compacts and jewelry - all look unusual and different enough to make you forget that they are perennial favorites for the Christmas stocking.
 Gloves with stitched details, rolled and padded tops and buttons at the back instead of the front are teamed up with compactS, cigaret cases, scarfs, bags, shoes and even watches. Brown suedes and bag to match would please your mother.
 Sister would adore pigskin pull ons and a neat pigskin vanity.

Ho1v 10 Keep WeU By DR. WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

Thus, while absorption in the
 form of fumes or dust. by the
 lungs and digestive tract may
 take place, 1t is par excellence
 by direct absorption through the
 skin that poisoning results. The
 natural fat from the skin is dis
 solved out, and the material is
 thus enabled to reach the vas-
 cular layers. Cases of poisoning
 are more frequent in hot wealth
 CT than during the colder sea- :. sons ..
 Neither Sir Thomas Legge, GEE, MD. oxon., DP.H. cantab nor any other authority, scientist, physician, chemist has proved that the skin will absorb any of these aniline or ben- gene derivatives. The explanation of- fered by Sir Thomas in this instance is absurb. If the benezine or anilin does dissolve all the natural fat (sebum) on the skin, there is still a wall of good squamous epithelium, many layers of comparatively tough epithelial cells to be penetrated or broken through before the sub stances can reach the vascular layers" that is the deeper portion of the skin or the subcutaneous spaces where the blood vessels are.
 My skin is still available to any one of standing who cares to sub init the question to properly con- trolled test-provided only that both sides agree in advance to abide by the result and to publish 1t to the world.
 Sir Thomas mentions the greater frequency of poisoning in hot wealth. CT. Why? Does the skin "abSorb' more freely in hot weather? One would naturally assume the con- trary-that is, It would seem more difficult to reverse the flow of sweat and Sebum when that How is at its highest. I suggest that more sen- sible reason for the greater fre- qlency of poisoning in hot weather or in a hot place is that the aniline, dinitrobenzene or other substance is more volatile and one inhales more of the vtpor of funne in a short time.
 I@regard Sir. Thomas's book as a classic in its field. However, I feel confident he was all wet about skin absorption.
