?HE TREATMENT OF GOITRE
IS TO BE FOUND IN IODINE
; By WILLIAM
,f JT1RUE to our promise, we continue the
J. surjject or goitre, indulging in a lew
morb.d marks about remedies. 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. One patient will require
ten times more lodlno than another could

We still have with us the invstcry-
lovlng medic ne man (or woman) who
delights In strange and shocking reme
dies. Amber bends, snakes, toads, liz
ards, spiders, Incantations and the magic
touch aro tried on many cases of goitre,
all without avail except the last men
tioned measure, which Is usually quite
satisfactory to the practitioner who em
ploys It. drawing out all the way from
Jlfty cents to flftv dollars from tho vic
tim. We doubt if even our old friend

these absurdities nowadays not if grand

One sensible young woman, however, an

...
The constant repenting of other peoplo's
eonlldences and the recital of unneces
sary and frequently annoying happenings
form one of the commonest pitfalls which
exist ror newly engaged and just-married
persons.
It Is possible that many mistakes In
the matter come about through -i too
prevalent misconception of the word "so-
orct," and from the erroneous idea that
anything around which silence Is main
tained must lie a shady and mysterious
matter. Ilvcry one
knows that there ure

will inevitably court disaster In her own

Christmas Hints
.. , ,, ., '
The large stor.i are sending out nothes ,
urging the busy shopper to do her Christ-nii.-
buying early; In fnct, ono store ad
vises her to have all the gifts bought by
the Uth of December. This Is n very
good and useful hint, for the discomfort
attached to shopping l great enough,
without multiplying it by tho Innumer
able trials of tho holiday season. A trip

The llttlo girl who Is Just heginnliij
to tuku an active Interc-at In the mutiny--ment
of the household will appreciate a
dresser set of imitation French Ivirv. It
will prove nn incentive to her wh n bat
urday morning comes, to havo this set
to keep white and spotless. A complete
outfit, consisting of all thn needed toilet
articles, comb, brush, mirror, etc., sells
in one store for J5.00.
Another sensible nnd highly practhal
gift for the young girl Is u manicure set.
It may sound d scournging for tho small
recipient, but the truth of tho matter 1.
many a youngster has stopped that
dreadful habit uf biting he. linger nails
when sha was presented with n lovely
little manicure set. It Increases the
child's natural pride In her looks, which
is a step towards encouraging a neat,
pleasant appearance.
Imported Frenih prints ure the delight
of the connoisseur, and they are reason
ably priced as well. For Instance, one tiny
print for the boudoir costs but 13 cents.
It Is quite genuine, too. If It happens
to be n bit too radical for the woman
who likes bright, cheerful pictures nbout
her room, why not select Wallace Nut

exquisite cub rings, and m:

ByRHETA CHILDE DORR
IT 8EF.MS to be n matter of little doubt
that the er.d of the war In Ihirnpe will
witness great social changes In all tho
warring countries, nnd there has been
much speculation ns to posslblo changes
In tho position of women. Will the whole
hearted co-operation of the women, their
sclf-sacrlflco nnd the wonderful courngo
they havo shown in every country raise
thorn In tho eyes of men? 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.
In (Vrmniiy there were, nt the begin

tho cradlo to the grave the Gerraui
woman Is mndo to feci her Inferiority, In
order that the German men may over
como tho supposed handicap of inferior
numbers. Tor example, tho German
woman receives an Inferior education.
It Is truo Hint thn compulsory education
law applies equally to tho sexes, and nil
girls as well as boys must attend school
to tho age of 31. Hut the girls get fur
more needlework than arithmetic, and
they aro allowed a very serious amount
of absence from school In order to at
tend to dom-stlc duties. Tho compulsory
continuation school for wage-earnlns
women exists, but Instead of existing to
plvo tho women more skill In their trades
It is devoted mainly to teaching them
moro cooking.
Since tho war began 4S2.00O German men
havo been slain In battle. Suppose
another vear of war with tho same ratio
of los. 'That will leave a Germany with
1,761,000 moio women than men. It U
hardlv to be expected that German men
will give this great majority population
the power of tho ballot. Uatlicr, thoy will
oecl; further measures of repression. War
Is not kind to women.
