Amazing-the change in a club member who has learned the art of public speaking.
 She looks so poised, so at ease! She doesn't seem to be the same person who used to approach the stand as if it were the executioner's block, who clutched desperately at table and paper and read her speech in untitled tones.
 But so little is needed to turn the poorest speaker in the club into the best.
 You have no table-clutching im- pulses if you stand with weight dis tributed on the balls of both feet. You feel balanced, poised. Then what difference when, in stead of reading your speech, you talk" it. Easy-if you practice well beforehand, keep a few brief notes. Speaking with your head up, you are heard much better than when you bend over raft of pa pers. And if you open your mouth wide every word is distinct. Learn correct form, too-what to say il. addressing the chair, in oth- CT situations.
 Correct parliamentary forms, as well as sample speeches for many occasions, are given in our 32-page booklet. Has advice on training | the voice, preparing and deliver ing effective speeches. Tips fol toastmasters, radio.

For the past few months ] have been giving my nineteen -year-old daughter the iodin ration according to instructions in your pamphlet. (Copy of pamphlet mailed on rec quest, if you enclose stamped en- velope bearing your address,. The results have been surprisingly satis- factory. Tn fact we can hardly be- lieve our eyes. She matured at 1S and had no dificulty until she was 16, then had a nutritional disturb ance which was diagnosed as pitui- tary gland malfunctioning. A diet the physician prescribed seemed to correct the glandular malfunction- ing, and after that there were no further signs of sugar in the urine. But she began to have cramps with menstruation, which became. worse and worse each month, until finally even pituitrin injections gave little relief and so at operation a mechan- ical obstruction was found, and she has undergone surgical treatment for this twice in the course of the year. Also there was congenital infantile development or lack of de- velopment of uterus, etc.
 I began giving the iodin ration ten weeks ago. She has had three periods since, and not a bit of pain or cramp. She is gaining in weight, and seems in every way her old happys self. The old haggard look is gone completely.
 When I informed the specialist what I was doing he told me by all means to keep it up.
 All I say say is that the Iodin Ration is blessing indeed.
 (MrS. E. A. O.
 Mrs. c. even suggests-she seems pretty familiar with physiology that the iodine may have been the specific neded to correct the mal- function of the pituitary gland.
 Frankly I don't know. Perhaps the happy change in the girls con- dition is due to the medical treat ment given by her physician, or to the surgical treatment she has had. The ten weeks of iodin rationing would hardly seem likely to account for 1t.
 But I do know the iodin ration did no harm anyhow. I don't be- ieve it ever does any harm in any case, and I do believe it does a great deal of good in many cases, and that's why I urge everybody to join me in wee nip O. iodin once or twice 8 week. And while we're at it. let us give the dog, the cat. the horse. COW, sheep, chickens, gold fish and all some iodine in one form or another every week or two.
 People in the habit of eating con- siderable salt--a habit that I can- not approve-may get enough iodine from the salt they eat, provided they use iodized salt instead of or dinary salt. But, although we use iodized salt at our house I still like my nip of iodine from the old iodine bottle every week or so, just the same. I know a little too much iodine won't hurt me.

GlOming Yourself
 .
Hy Anela MaEe

The srnartly attractive mature voc man avoids girIiShf hair-do's and juvenile effects in makeup and grooming just as she avoids clothes which obviously were designed for the very young.
 She would no more think of wear ing long bob, tied coyly with @ huge bow at the nape of her neck, than she would of appearing in a knee length, college skirt with the new knee-length, college socks. DOESN'T USE
 EXTREME MAKEUP
 Any bow she puts in her hair looks like part of her coiffure and not at all like a hair ribbon. She knows that youthfulness in a coif- fure isn't necessarily synonymous with cuteness.
 She does not ''beadp her lashes with mascara or, worse yet, wear extra long, curly, artificial lashes which give her eyes doll-like ap- pearance. She does not make her mouth up into pert little rosebud shape.
 If her figure isn't as slim as 1t used to be, she eschews pinafores. Whether she is slim or not, you don't catch her in whirling -skirted short-waisted, tight-bodiced little dresses. She leaves these for the very young.
 SHE'S WARY
 OF SLACKS
 She knows that while the too- long dress often is dowdy, the too short one detracts from her dignity and natural charm. sShe considers the shape and size of her legs and her hip and waistline proportions, then decides on the right skirt length, regardless of what THEY are wearing.
 If she is more than size IS, she does not wear shorts-ever. Unless she can have perfectly tailored slacks, she avoids these, too. Noth- ing is more unattractive than size 20 in slacks which are baggy in the seat and at the knees.

 And yet men marry them as fast as they can get them to say "Yes."
 BEAUTIFUL NOT ALWAYS DUMB
 Less beautiful, and therefore usually less spoiled girls take back seats while the spoiled darngs pick off the matrimonial prizes.
 Now there's no warning men to stay away from beautiful girls. It wouldn't be a fair warning, anyway Some of the most beautiful ones aren't spoil ed and self-centered if they have fair amount of brains along with their beauty.
 But it does seem that men would learn sometime that beautiful, but dumb, girl may be swell for date but that counting on her for life partner Is

 e. What is the difference between an Informative Double and a Busi- ness, or Penalty Double, in Contract Bridge?
 A. The Informative Double is one of a suit made at the first oppor- tunity, to show the partner strength in every suit except the suit dou- bIed and to force him to bid his best suit unless there is an inter- vening bid, or he has sufficient strength to pass and defeat the op- ponent's contract. A business or Penalty Double should be made only when one expects to set the opponent by at least two tricks.
