There are innumerable hitiily Indiscreet women today who believe that It Is their lioumlcn dut to pour into tho generally unwilling car of a highly bored hush n' tho minutest trivialities of their dally life. Nothing Is too small or petty for this long and wearisome recital.

Our preceding- discussion divulged some of tho mysteries of smptomatology of goltro and disclosed our utter ignorance of tho causn or causes of these common all- meats. Wo described tlueo kinds of goitre: 0) Simple goitre; (2) exophthalmic goltro; (3) cystic goitre. The treatment of Blmplo goltro Is, wo regret to confess, summed up In ono dan serous word, Iodine. Dangerous for thin reason:,riT, perchance, one should use Iodine ocally or Internally In any form asa remedy for exophthalmic goitre one wdula be likely to do much harm. And If lino Bhould uso It for cystic goitre ue wolild proaably bo wasting good Iodine. Bun tor simple goitre, when you aro quite surli It Is simple goitre, tho sparing uso of llodlno Is the remedy. While a painting or tho swelling once a week or once in 10 nays wun a weau ened tincture of Iodine is usually help ful, perhaps tho wiser plan is the inter nal administration of some suitable salt of Iodine by the family physician. W lint f onn nnHenf reme.lv Is another's pel- son. and no one but the phslclnn Is .-apii- bio of deciding what is host for a given case of goltro.

Will the dif ferent governments, realizing the Impor tance of Women In tho State, hasten to glx-o them full citizenship? It IS a question, tlratltude and appre ciation of a sentimental kind the men will no doubt express for their women, but unless they radically chnngo their habit of thought, they are likely to find new rea sons for hot giving women the ballot. rino of tho strongest arguments put forth In Huropo against woman suffrage was that thero were mote women thnn men In the population, and that men were nfrald to havo the nations ruled from the women's point of view.
