| All l know is that the iodine car do no harm in any case. Whether it really brought about the remark. able improvement in MT. R.'s con- dition is conjectural.
 I am glad to send the monograph giving instructions for taking the Iodin Ration to any correspondent who asks for it and incloses a stamped envelope bearing his ad- dress. A clipping of this item is not a request.
 Nearly everybody needs a wee bit of iodine in one form or an- other, especially people living in regions where the natural iodine content of the soil and food grown from the soil is deficient.
 School children who nope and day dream, at a time in life when they should be cheerful, happy and eager for play and fun need the Iodin Ration, whether they have any sign of goitre or not.
 Mature adults who feel stale, un- refreshed by ordinary rests or va cations, inclined to melancholy or "the blues," need an Iodin Ration.
 Young adults whose hair is be- coming prematurely gray need an Iodin Ration-plus an optimal daily intake of vitamin B-complex, which they may get by eating three or four ounces of wheat germ daily or by supplementing the daily diet with 600 or more international units of vitamin B-complex in tab lets which contain the vitamin B. complex concentrate.
 Plain wheat cracked or ground at home. is the best natural food source of vitamin B-compleX.
 There is factor in the vitamin B-complex called "anti-gray hair factor because 1t seems to prevent the hair of laboratary animals from turning gray. have no Knowledge of the effect of this factor on the condition in man, but recommend 1t because 1t can do only good to every one up to the daily intake of vitamin B-complex.

peCauSe CnelT Nutn MIlkett strength and protection were essen, tial, were heroes to the womenfolk They had plenty of chances to prove that they were MEN.
 Later, when homesteading waa over and the day of big business was at hand, American men went right on being heroes to their womenfolE conquering world the women knew nothing about. TYCOONS NO HEROES
 TO THEIR WIVES
 But now that women have moved in on the business world and know from association that the business man is a good part mouse-things are pretty tough on the would-be heroes.
 A few young men each fall man. age to become gridiron heroes. Once in a great while a Douglas Corrigan comes along, pulls daring stunt and has the girls ooh-ing and ah-ing.
 But most young men today never get chance to be hero to even one girl. Which is rather hard-oh the young man and on the girl. And in this one extreme case = on the girls family.

IODINE AND THE RHEUMATIz

IODINE AND THE RHEUMATIZ
 Some of the reports readers sene in give considerable food fol thought. Here is one by man 6; years of age who is a professional photographer:
 Have had cysts coming upon me fifteen years ago one on forehead big as cherry which doctor opened and scraped and sewed up. Later had others from time to time-el- bow, knee, hand, and finally one on my wrist, then ankles swelled up, shoulders were lame and sore so I could not put on a coat without help.
 It felt as though I had infiam- nation in all my joints. Could not push with my arms or hands, had to walk very slowly.
 Six years ago I had rheumatism all over, hands half closed, some fingers crooked, right arm could not be strengthened to more than 55 degrees.
 Then I read your article on Iodin Ration, last May. Started taking 1t. have not needed any as- pirins since that date. My hands are now like new no pains in my shoulders, and can straighten my right arm nearly all the way.
 The cysts on my elbows and ankles are nearly all gone, just disappear. It is like a miracle.

RED CROSS, SEAL
 DIRECTORS AGREE

 Second Campaign

Hartford, Nov. 1.-The American Red Cross and the National Tuber- culosis Association have set the November 30 Thanksgiving day as the dividing date between their fund-raising activities.

QUESTIONS and ANSWER UbiouitOus PneumOcOccus

Is there any similarity or relation between the germs causing ear trouble in young child and the germs causing pneumonia? For in- stance could an adult contract pneumonia by 'fondling and kissing a young child with infected ear?
 (Mrs. J. G. e.
 Answer-The same germ, the Pneumococcus often causes tonsil- litis, quinsy, middle ear infection (otitis media, gathering in ear, ab- scess in ear), mastoiditis, bronchi- tis, pleurisy, emnyema (abscess in chest. purulent pleurisy), simple pleurisy, pneumonia. Sometimes it may cause what passes as simple coryza. Passes is right--and when the infection passes to the next vic- tim 1t may be any one of the con- ditions mentioned. Of course there is always danger involved in kissing a child-usually the child suffers the greater injury.
 Mental Deterioration
 Daughter, nineteen, infrequently leaves the house, goes out not more than twenty minutes week, sits around all the time just thinking and moping. I fear she may do something desperate. Her mother died about four years ago, and since then she has been depressed and melancholy. I fear she is not sane. She refuses to go to church, shows, dances, parties or even, to call on old friends. (H. K.)
 Answer-First, try to have good psychiatrist (physician who deals with mental and nervous disorders) see her and talk with her. If that is not possible, apply to any court of record to appoint Q commission of qualified doctors to examine her. The court will then commit her to a suitable hospital or sanitarium for treatment. I'd prefer state hospital for the insane, though some private are well conducted.

Either way, you can avoid that homemade" look but still have the perfect fit and super for workmanship of dress made at home if you choose Claire Tilden's Pattern 939. It's a mature style whose very simplicity spells poise and finesse. Make 1t in sheer wool, soft crepe or silk jersey. Notice the easy grace of the neckline as it curves gently down into the front buttoning. And see-the entire bodice part is made just in two pieces, excluding the sleeves! The front bodice may extend up in one piece to the back neck, giving the effect of high collar without the trouble. The back similarly comes over the shoulders in one piece to form rounded front yokes, with soft gathers below. Don't miss the front skirt panels-so slenderizing. You might make an "at home" version of this frock too, with a lower neck line and short, tab-trimmed sleeves.
 Pattern 939 is cut in women,s sizes 36, 38. 40, 42,. A, 46 and 48. Size S6 requires 3 Ia yards 39 inch fabric.

WOMAN,S REALM M=.
GlOrfing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA service stafg Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer Routines to keep the neck firm looking as well as satiny smooth should be included in every woman's daily beauty schedule. There are no more certain signs of neglect, as well as age than creepy throat, Sagging muscles directly below the chinline, and necklace lines going around and around.
 Tn addition to careful cleansing (wash your neck each and every time you wash your face) and nightly creaming, of course, do special exercises regularly. These keep the muscles of the neck firm and the skin over them smoothly youthful.
 Furthermore, don't give your throat more attention than the sides and back of the neck. Since you no longer wear your hair in long, bush bob, rows of. lines across the back are as sad a sight as those which extend from the side to side.
 At night after a bath, pin hair atop head and put on @ thin rub- Der shower cap. Then really cream with upward and outward strokes your neck, fnassaging the cream in with upward and outward strokes and batting away the lines. EASY NECK
 EXERCISE
 Before removing the cream, do a few exercises several times. Here are directions for three favorites:
 Sit or stand erect, relax neck and let head fall as far backward as possible. Now place fingertips behind ears and lift head up to normal position. Make fingers do all of the lifting. Repeat five times. Repeat again, lifting head straight up without aid of fingers. Look in the mirror and stiffen jaw until muscles of the neck stand out. Relax and repeat five times.
 Relax neck, let head fall back as far as possible, then swing 1t around to the left, forward and to the right. Repeat five times, swinging head around and around slowly.
