True, thero im a large mass ¢ women who do not realize that the topcoat is still im existence because of the overwhekming popularity pf capes; but there are other segmemntis of the public which prefer the can- venience of the coat with pockets to tke cape thatl pulls like a sail every wind. ; ;) Capes are artiltic, they are decora- tive, but every. woman knows that they are not entirely comfortable in their new shape. When it was the fashion to wmp a cape around. the body and hold, it with the hands or arms, there was some comfort in it even though It kept the hands' ha nessed; they were not free for bun dles, and the American insists upon holding purse and packages with her fingers, not dirapery. The loose Myving cape which suc- ceeded the tightly wrapped one left the hands free, but it blew in many directions and was not always as convenient as represented. It is still the wrap of the hour, however, for those who wish to run with' the crowd. Its popularity has not ousted the topcoat for yay occasions. Curlously enough, the cape becomes a garment for service more frequently than the long coat. The latter is kept for occasions, it is built of fine fabrics. decorated with embroidery and bead- ing and made of fine white fabrics that this season puts forth for all manner of garments. The sketch sgho a ocoat of this white powder fabric with deep Fem and half sleeves of dark blue crepe de chine. In autumn, we will wear coats with fur bands in the same manner. Above the shoulders are gay little designs of the crepe em- broidery in silver and steel beads. The coat is part of a costume, for the frock is of white powder cloth also and has cnough dark blue at the waist line to show that it belongs to the overgarment. It is the belief of some who stand the dressmaking business that hamental topcoats will take the place of capes entirely in the ecarly tumn. The French dressmakers |are showing evidence of this. There Is a feeling that the latter garment has lasted long enough. It does not always satisfy the American woman with her varying climate and her necessity for protection in winter months. The fur coat had no diminu- {tion of prestige last year, but the cloth coat did, and the early season may persuade women to look upon the topcoat as something they need. something that will serve when a cape will not. i PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Noted Physician and Author. Is Todine 2 Remedy for Goiter? Two thousand years ago the Greek «physicians prescribed sponge charcoal with some success in the treatment of goiter. In other words, an iodine tréatment has been used empirically long before the relation of iodine in foot with the function of thyroid gland was known Regions where goiter 'is endemic ‘are wusyally free from exophghalmic type of goiter, in which iodine %oes harm. In} ese goiter regions, for instance in ts of Switzerland and in cer great lakes regions in America, people seldom ecat sea i Sea food cofitains iodine in a rea form; the idodine of com thined from seaweed Sea fish is good fo- people who have simple. goiter. It is perhaps harmful for - people who have exophthalmic golfer. It is neither good nor bad for peopie who have cystic goiter. Just why iodine metabolism is de- fective in cernin young women in goiter regions we do not know. Nor, in. fact, do we know that the benefit obemined from sea food is whoily due nient of fodine.

Prolonged rest in bed in the open %, precisely as for pulmonary tuber- bss, is still the most effect ment for Basedow's disease—exoph- thalmic golter.

Patn in the Back. BE 1 suffer considerably with duil pain in the small of the back.—F. L. Answer—If vou assume that pain in small of the back is a symptom of dney trouble you are sadly misin- formed. Pain in that situation is very rarely felt by persons who really have kidney trouble. Pain in the back. like pain in the head, is most frequently reflex in origin, and in order to obtain relief you should undergo a thorough examination by a physician. It would be unwarranted extravagance on your part to experiment blindly with such a symptom. Killing Flies in the House. Can you suggest any agent which will poison flies in the house without being dan_[‘:_eroua to children or pets?>—Mrs. D. Answer—Careful tests and experiments carried out by experts in the United States public health service at Wash- ington proved that a solution of salicy- late of soda in water (1 per cent—ap- proximately five grains to an ounce) sweetened with sugar and allowed to stand in an open vessel where the flies can eat it, is safe and superior to most poisonous 'fly killers.

Good Tooks, alas, ofttimes deceive. Who trusts them may have cause to grieve. —Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. The venturesome little Wood Mouse who had run away from home to see the Great World, and who Buster Bear had so nearly caught, thought himself very smart in getting away from Buster Bear. Really he wasn't smart at all. The truth is Buster had found ants, of which he is very fond, and at once gave up chasing that little Mouse. The. further he got from the scene WAS SO IN’;[EH.ESTED IN SAT PER- WENT RIGHT PAST. of his dreadful fright the more the little Mouse thought about his own smartness. What a splendid tale it would be to tell when he should reach i home amain! How smart his sister |and little brother would think him { Already he had begun to forget the {terrible fear he had felt. It is that way with little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. New of course that little Mouse should have wasted no time on such thoughts as these. He should have given his whole attantion to watch- ing out for new dangers. But he had not vet learned the losson that the life of a Wood Mouse depends on \atchtulness every second of the time when he is moving about. So it was just good fortune and nothing more that kept that little Mouse from running headlong into the clutches of a handsome stranger in red. The little Mouse had stopped un- /der an overhanging fern to rest a foew minutes. As he sat there he heard light footsteps coming from the direction in which he himself been going when he stopped to rest. He pecped out from unier the fern. Trotting along between the trees was another glant only this glant was small compared w : d chased him so. This smaller glant was very handsome. He wore a red coat of beautiful, soft, long fur. He wore a white waistcoat, his legs and feet Were black, his ears were black and so was his nose, and he carried a wonderful tail. = The little Mouse simply stared at that tajl. You know his own tail is very slim and thin. The tail of this stranger was a won- derful red plume, black toward the end and with the very up white. The little Mouse had never dreamed that there could be such a tail. He quite forgot where he was and every- thing else in admiration of that handsome stranger and his wonder- ful tail. i_Of course you know who it was. {1t was Reddy Fox. Yes, sir. it was Reddy Fox. The reason the little Mouse didn't know who It was, was because this was the first time he had ever seen a Fox. At first the | little Mouse wasn't afraid. He was too curious to be afraid. Fortunately he didn’t move. He was 5o interested in staring that he sat perfectly still, and Reddy Fox went right past. Then the little Mouse turned to watch him, and in doing this he made the teeni- est, weeniest ni e Instantly that handsome stranger froze. That means that he stood per- tectly still In just the position he was in when he caught that teeny. weeny sound. One forefoot was lifted, but he dldn’'t put it to the ground. His sharp ears were cocked forward. He was listening to try to catch that teeny, weeny sound again. For a long minute he stood without a mo- tion. Then he turned his head and began to test the air with his sharp nose. In a moment he turned and began to come back, running, from side to side with his nose to the ground. It was then that the little Mouse understood that here was an- other enemy. Should he run or siiculd he sit still? (Copyright, 1922, by T. W. Burgess.) THistory of Dour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. TYLER. VARIATION—Tiighman. RACIAL ORIGIN—Angio-Saxon. SOURCE—AN occupation. Tyler is another of those old Anglo- Saxon surnames which antedates the system of French nomenclature which Normans laid over England in the several centuries following the conques At first glance you would be apt to consider it a shortened form of Taylor, but it is not. Its spelling oniy is misleading. The pronouncia- tion," even today, reveals the occupa- tion from which it sprang. A tller, of course, would be a ma: who makes tiles or who lays tiles. And what use did the medieval Eng- lish, and even more rough-and-ready axons before them, have for Angl tiles? They used them for roofing their houses, mot for making beautiful floors. The tilers of medieval Eng- land were more often sturdy work- men than skilled artists or artisans, and with the carpenters and the i smiths, they formed the backbone of | that olde-'(ln:blllly on earth, the nobility of lapor. The surname first appears with the spelling, weird to our modern eves, of Tyghelere, the ending being a con- of the old Anglo-Saxon meaning Tilghman, of course, is simply another form of the name, retaining somewhat more of the original’ spelling, and meaning exactly the same thing. Later sucl Norman for! Tugler,” “le Tuler” and “le Tewler” appeared, but none of these appears to have had the staying qualities of the Anglo- Saxon form, for they are rarely, if ever, found today, while Tylers and Tilghmans may be found in any sec- ition of England or the United States you choose to look for them.

Dicky Lindsay, not quite aetat three, sat down upon an anclent suit case belonging to his father and howled because Ragsy was howling.

She kept her brown eyes focussed on the information booth. That much of John's telephone message she thought she had understood. He had told her to walit.

Cucumber Delicacies. Cucumbers are one of the most satistying of all summer vegetables if you know how to serve them in many ways. They are always avallable, they keep well on foe for several days if necessary, and they are inexpensive. They are probably as digestive as much of the food we eat. When they are eaten cooked they disagree with almost no one; when they are eaten raw they should be fresh and should stand sliced in ice for several hours before they are sent to the table. The dressing used on [ them should be put on just' before | they are served.
