 A. One of the most fascinating hobbies is stamp collecting. Get your son an album and a set of mixed stamps. It may be necessary to help him at first. A book o nthe subject, containing suggestions on how to start a collection and where to get stamps, can be obtained from our Washington Service Bureau, 1913 Thirteenth St., Washington, D.

 if any girl arrived in such a crea- ton she could either add pair Of suspenders to her little number or go home.
 You can't say the Washington students are reverting to thepredury of the grandparents. This is some thing they thought up themselves. For grandmother was the girl who went for the strapless gown in a big way. It was just as much a social handicap for Q girl to have a scranny neck or thin shoulders in her days as it is right now.
 If the college studets had banned strapless gowns on the grounds that only one girl in thousand can wear them successfully-they would have had something.
 But to call them 'immodest" is a sign of creeping prudery.
 Mama had better hide her strap- less delight way in the back of the closet before son or daughter gets home from college for the holidays and starts in censoring.
 In fact, the whole family had better mind their p's and as until the young ones are safely back at school.

gave her the Iodin Ration accord ing to the instructions in your monograph. The result has been simply unbelievable. The doctor told me to keep right on with it. She is very happy and I am so grateful ;. she was so tired she couldn't enjoy life as other young people do. Now she is bubbling over. ..
 I repeat, in my judgment every body who is not under medical care should take regular iodin ration If you are under medical care for any particular trouble, ask your physician about it. Youngsters ir their teens should be 'bubbling over," nc moody and lackadaisical as too many of them are, just fol want of a wee drop of iodin.

WHEN THEY NOPE IN THEIR
 TEENS |

TEENS
 In some parts of the country simple goitre is present in more than one-third of all school girls and more than one-fifth of all school boys, due to insufficient iodin in food and drink. When children get a suitable iodin ration they are much less likely to have enlarged neck.
 Many girls and some boys in their early teens, whether they have any thyroid enlargement or not, begin to nope at time when they should naturally or normally be full of the vivacity of youth and the joy of living. Parents worry about them needlessly. There is always plenty to worry about. in bringing up chil- dren, but if your young son or daughter of twelve to fifteen begins to nope and pine and be inclined to melancholy and doleful day. dreaming, don't recall that your uncle went insane-we all had more or less of that in the family-and don't worry about some secret vice for there is no ground for that mo- tion-but give the child the bene- fit of medical care. Let your doctor examine the child particularly for incipient tuberculosis. Meanwhile see that the child gets a suitable iodin ration-say drop or two or three drops of common tincture of iodin, dropped from the glass rod in the iodin vial, in a drink of water once week the year around or else every day fir a month in each of the four seasons of the year.
 Even in cases of exophthalmic goitre (Basedow'S disease, toxic goitre, inward goitre), the Symp- toms of which are sometimes diffi- cult to distinguish from those oi incipient pulmonary tuberculosis, suitable iodin ration seems to have only beneficial eects. In the goiter belt, particularly in Michigan, the use of iodized salt in place of com mon salt by large portion of the population (by recommendation of the Michigan health authorities) has brought about definite de- crease in the number or proportion of operations for goitre in that part of the country.
 In a communication from "the tired college girls" mother, which I printed in my column, the value of an iodin ration as one remedy for what another doctor feared might be "verging on neurasthe- mia" is indicated. The tired college girls mother wrote:
 My 16 year old daughter had been under the doctors care for more than a year for anemia. That was overcome by the doctors treat ment but she still suered from a kind of chronic fatigue which seemed impossible to overcome. She had been ready for college since September but unable to go because of this great lassitude. I

WOMAN,S REALM
-BEAUTX GIoriying

 Rich, dark red is the lipstick shade of the hour. If the purplish or orchid-toned lipstick you bought last September is just about gone, do try some of the deep, wine-red colors before deciding definitely to get a new one just like the old.
 With black, dark red lipstick can't be beaten. And it's equally nice with your wine woolen or the slate blue or gray one. Change your rouge ac- cordingly, of course. No truly chic woman would dream of wearing wine-red lip stick and purplish red rouge.
 If you are lucky enough to be able to afford several sets of make up and plan to get a new one to wear with dress you just bought, by all means wear the dres or take it along when you go to buy the makeup. The shade of your com plexion never actually changes, but it certainly does not appear to be the same color when you are Tn black as it is when you wear yellow. If you wear the new dress or drape it about your shoulders and throat, you'll then be able to select cos- metics which make lips and cheeks glow naturally in spite of the light IToS
 Check on Powder
 Nail lacquer ought to harmonize with lipstick. And there are lovely new dark red shades to match the new lipsticks. If you want your nail polish to cling for an unusually long time, try putting one of the waxy bases on before apply the polish it. self. If you like an extremely high lustre, add another thin coat of wax after the polish is dry.
 Incidentally, this is an excellent time to check up and see if your face powder is exactly right. It ought to match exactly your natural skin tones. And the only way to tell whther it is correct is to powder one side of your face, leaving the other bare, then compare them in a mirror. One will look shiny and the other smooth and beautifully dull, of course, but the powdered side should not be lighter or darker than the other.
