'WOMA N’'S PAGE. Roll Turban to Match Each Frock BY ANNE RY ‘Here's & happy solution of the hat problem for the woman who doesn't want to be bothered with a hat box when she goes on & three-day house party, and yot feels the necd of hav- ing somo sort of hat besides the one sho wears. Cultivate the new turban and learn to “roll your own,” and you can tuck two or three different head cover- ings into the flap of your trunk cover. You begin with a straight plece of crepe de chine. This you gather at one end Into a pearl and bead orna- ment. Then you slit the crepe de chine up from the other end. The dges you may have finished in plcot you may hem them yourself. And that is about all there is to {t—that und becoming a skilled turban roller. You simply wrap the silk around the head a couple of times and stick the ends in at the back. The same idea may be developed In tulle for evening. 5 This tulle turban will be in line with the latest development in even- ing headdress, by the way.

So far I have seen no large varlety of patterns or all-over figured grounds, and no sunfast chintz or cretonne—but these will doubtless follow as the sunproof idea develops.

In the first place st us clearly un- Aerstand that there is no such disease or condition as scrofula. Wrap the notion up tenderly in batting and lay it away on the shelf with the catarrh, uric_acid, acute indigestion, nervous breakdown, middle age and female complaint bugaboos. When the conception of scrofula as a disease was in YOgue it was never a very definite or clearly described con- dition; owing to the vagueness of the idea it covered considerable diagnos- tie ignorance. Most of the conditions hich the medical elders dubbed scrofulous were, as we now know, tuberculosis—tuberculosis of lymph nodes, of skin, of joints, bones, of the ear. As late as 1912 one Ameri- can body specialist still maintained, rather feebly, that thers was some such condition as scrofula apart from tuber- culosis. Today nobody takes the notion of scrofula seriously. Tuberculosis of the lymph nodes or “glands,” as they are called by the laity, very common disease in children. The uodes on the sidee of the neak are often involved, probably because tubercle bacilli readily lodge in these way statlons of the lymphatic drainage system when the bacilll gain entrance through diseased tonsils, de- caved and Infected teeth. neglected adenolds and neglected chronic nasal and ear troubles. When the tubercle bacilli are associated withe the ordi- nary pus-producing germs (staphylo- coccl and streptocococel of various strains), suppuration is likely to oc- cur. thé abscess opening upon the skin of the neck, and a fistula or sinus remaining for a long period. This what the laity still calls scrotula. Tuberoulosis probably more often involves the lymph nodes of the abdo- men, way stations on the lymphatic drainage vessels of the stomach and intestines. Tubercle bacilli of the bo- vine type (from tuberculosis in cattle) taken in milk from cows or herds that are not tuberculin tested, prob- ably lodge in these abdominal lymph nodes in childhood and remain in the nodes in a more or less inactive state for years. if not for life. A group of lymph nodes in the back of the chest about the bronchial tubes is very | commonly infected with tuberculosis in childhood; hers, too, in nine out of ten cases the germs remain {nactive and the disease remains latent, but may become active in later years, as the focus from which tubercle bactll{ reach the bones of the spine to cause Pott's disease, or the hip joint, or some other member or organ. ‘A Reputation— for unvaryin; Greatest Mar uality is the of Distinction.
