Luxurious Tailored Suits
Radiant With Fall Colors
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
SEEING the luxurious three-piece
suits or costume suits, as the
ease may be. fashioned as they are
of glamorous woolens that are radi
ant with rich autumnal colorings.
one realizes what is meant when
Paris says "more color everywhere
lor fall and winter."
The newer woolens are superbly
colorful, so much so one recognizes
in them a direct challenge to the
supremacy of black which for so
long a time has held sway. The col
ors featured this season are so glo
rious within themselves and the
combinations that designers create
are so daring and unusual, inspired
as they are by the richness of the
purples, the dregs of wine, tawny
browns, deep greens and luminous
Jewel shades and the surpassing
loveliness of the teal blue that is so
vastly important Just now, it Is no
wonder that "Paris has gone color
mad" as has been said in regard to
recent couturier displays.
The color glory that dramatizes
the current fashion picture so thrill
ingly this season is especially no
ticeable in the new wool weaves
that are being fashioned into stun
ning coats and *uits. In consequence
suits and ensembles tailored of gen
uinely elegant woolens form the ba
sis for every wisely appointed ward
robe in the opinion of those who
guide our fashion destinies.
This demand for high quality does
not imply extravagance. As a mat
ter of fact the very opposite is true
tor having acquired through pains
taking regard fes to fine finesse in
every detail a costume that be
speaks related color and motif a
guarantee has been underwritten
which carries the assurance of being
well dressed ft)r the majority of oc
casions.
Perhaps the most important
thought to keep in mind concerning
Fur-Sleeved Coat
Fashion dictates lux sleeves
lor winter cloth coats. They are
being shown in endless num
ber and the furs employed are
apt to be ol any type which, of
course, adds zest to the mode.
In this instance lavish silver
fox is employed. Special points
of styling Interest in the mode
pictured is the multiple skirt
pleats and the wide crushed
leather belt.

Dirndl Is Leader
Among Juveniles
The dirndl may be dwindling in
popularity with the grown-up fash
ion leaders but it continues to hold
first place in juvenile styles for the
coming season. Many coats as well
as dresses designed for little girls
from three to six years old show
the peasant influence.
One coat that is typical of the
trend is made of royal blue velvet
een and has a fitted basque top to
which is attached a very full shirred
skirt section. A little collar of gray
squirrel fastens snugly at the throat.
Another coat similarly styled is
made of wine red wool velour and
has cordings of the fabric trimming
the dirndl skirt
Leather Hats Are
New Fall Fashion
Leather hats have come to town
as spice for the fashion menu.
Lily Dache makes them of kid and
suede in such colors as elephant
gray, rural autumn (a rich maple
leaf red) dawn blue (green blue)
and beet root (a deep dark red)
as well as the regulation shades
trimmed with bright colors. She
sends them out with gloves of the
same color to wear now with dark
frocks and later with fall suits.
New Fall Color
"Tabac" brown, more mellow Ui
its tone than most browns, is oil tc
a good start in the early collections
Maggy Rouif combines it with ma
roon and deep sage green to make
a "mosaic” winter coat formed bj
pieced-together squares of the three
colors.
this season's suits is the tact that
they are softly tailored with subtle
feminine touches that have in them
no suggestion of stereotyped severe
‘'lines.*’ There are many intriguing
trimming touches such as bindings
of stitched velveteen finishing the
edges of gay plaids or leather may
be used instead of the velveteen.
Then, too, suede and wqoI fabric
often form an alliance. In every
event color is played up to capacity.
Consider the very charming three
piece suit to the left in the picture.
Here is a glowing example of the
effective use designers are making
of color. Plum-colored imported
tweed having a light blue crossed
bar is employed for the making of
this smart three-piece. The skirt
and the piping on the short Jacket
are of the plum tweed in monotone.
The hat is of matching plum suede
with stitched brim. Here is a grand
chance to wear light blue accesso
ries and a blouse in blue would of
fer a pleasing change.
To the right, tweed in a mixture
of reddish brown and dark blue
is used for the whole outfit. A bea
ver collar is on the jacket. Hat,
bag, gloves and shoes are in reddish
brown. This is a three-piece that
tunes to weather changes perfectly
because of the protective cape that
may be worn or not at will.
Speaking of capes, considerable
emphasis is being placed on cloth
evening wraps and the circular cape
of fine broadcloth that extends mid
way between waist and knees (an
inspiration of the nineties) is a fa
vorite. Quaint looking indeed but
tres chic just the same.
Interest in smooth face velvety
surfaced woolens is being revived.
Broadcloth, suedes, zibelines. duve
tyn types have come into their own
this season.

# Test for tuberculosis
made easier with new
ointment procedure.
—By Dr. James W. Barlon —
SINCE 1907 research work
ers in tuberculosis have
been trying to get a skin or
patch test for tuberculosis
I that would be easier on pa
tient and physician than the
present method of injecting
old tuberculin.
Dr. Ernest Wolff, San Fran
cisco, in the American Jour
nal of Diseases of Children,
about three years ago re
ported his results with the
use of the tuberculin oint
ment patch test in 800 cases. More
recently, in the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Associ
ation Doctor Wolff
and Dr. Samuel
Hurwitz report 1,000
new patients treated
by this method; that
is a total of 1,800
cases.
In order that the
true value of the
test could be learned
two ointments were
made up in exactly
I)r. Barton the same manner,
one ointment con
taining tubercule organisms and one
without the organisms.
“The ointment is applied to the
inner surface of the upper arm or
the skin of the chest wall. The skin
is cleansed with benzine or ether
and dried. A pea-sized drop of the
tuberculin ointment is applied on
the right side and a similar sized
drop of the control ointment (with
out tuberculin) is placed on the left
side. Each of these drops is cov
ered tightly with a one and a half
inch square of ordinary adhesive
plaster, which is removed in 48
hours.
Test Results Analyzed.
“Positive reactions (tuberculosis
present in the patient) shows as
follows: a weak test—light case of
tuberculosis—shows a few single
small papules or pimples of a pale
rose color, a medium reaction con
sists of many vividly red pimples
with redness of the surrounding
skin, while a marked positive reac
tion shows the papules with redness
and hardening of the whole surface
of the skin covered by the patch;
that is about one and a half inches
square.”
As this test is about 98 per cent
correct as compared with the injec
tion of tuberculin method, it makes
a very simple method of testing for
tuberculosis. “The ease and speed
of application lend the patch test
to general use in private practice
and public health work. It over
comes the objection of the mental
shock and pain by the use of the
hypodermic needle.
Body Training
Pays Big Dividends!
In the Boston marathon race a
few years ago research workers of
Harvard university examined the
blood of the runners immediately
after the race. They found that the
blood of those who finished well up
in the race and those in good condi
tion at the finish was rich in sugar
and in those who finished near the
end of the last, or were in poor con
dition at the finish, the blood was
poor in sugar. It was suggested to
those who finished low down on the
list or were in poor condition at the
finish that they use more sugar dur
ing their training the following year
and that during the race itself they
eat some sugar.
Without exception these runners
finished farther up in the race and
were in better condition physically
at the end of the race than they had
been the year before.
In Europe a research worker, Ove
Boje, found that the height of the
blood sugar level remains about the
same or falls but slightly in trained
individuals during one hour of aver
age work, while an increase of 50
. per cent in the amount of work done
causes marked increase in the
amount of sugar in the blood. In
untrained individuals there is near
ly always a decrease of blood sugar
during work and the amount be
comes still less as the work in
creases; but this decrease disap
pears after a few months’ training.
Gladstone Was Right.
In fact, instead of the sugar in
the blood decreasing it actually in
creases, whereas in an individual
not in “shape" or not in training,
the blood sugar is soon exhausted
and he cannot continue to work be
cause of lack of energy. But—and
this is a big point for all of us—
"this decrease in blood sugar in un
trained individuals disappears after
a few months’ training."
Just think then of the wonderful
effect of exercise in that a few
months’ training will put the aver
age healthy individual into such
physical condition that his blood
sugar will not decrease but remain
at a normal level.
Truly, Gladstone realized this
when he said that "All time and ef
fort spent in training the body pays
a larger rate of interest than any
other investment."

What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Offers Timely Advice
On Avoiding the Menace of
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
ONE of the most serious indictments against our present
day civilization is its failure to preserve the teeth of men,
women and children. Countless examinations in all parts of
the country reveal that practically 100 per cent of the adult
population i« afflicted with some form of oral disease. And
surveys of the physical condition
of school pupils in different lo
calities and under various cir
cumstances disclose that tooth de
cay affects between 90 and 97 per
cent of our school children.
Remarkable and widely herald
ed advances have been made in
our knowledge of
how to control ana
prevent many dan
gerous and debili
tating diseases.
Yet we appear to
be complacent in
the face of the fact
that the majority
of our population is
handicapped by de
cayed teeth!
Nor does the
mere statement of
the case convey any idea of the
seriousness of the situation. For
it is unfortunate that diseased
teeth and dental infections which
may result from unchecked de
cay, seldom incapacitate the suf
ferer. Thus the victim does not
become sufficiently alarmed to
take the steps necessary to arrest
the progress of the diseased con
dition.
Yet a single decayed tooth
might be compared to a poison
factory, distributing its noxious
products to every part of the body,
and tooth decay may be indirectly
responsible for rheumatic ail
ments, neuritis, dyspepsia or du
odenal ulcers. It may be a con
tributing cause of heart trouble.
Possibilities of Prevention
Yet there is little or no excuse
for the appalling amount of dental
decay that afflicts the American
people. For in recent years a vast
amount of laboratory and clinical
research has been undertaken in
this field and there is impressive
evidence that dental caries, or de
cay, may be completely controlled
by dietary means. Then, too, our
understanding of correct dental
hygiene has advanced tremen
dously, and scientifically designed
tooth brushes and skillfully com
pounded dentifrices are available
in every town and hamlet through
out the country.

that this vitamin is essential to
the dentine, enamel, cementum
and the bone of the jaw. And
there are on record remarkable
experiments which demonstrate
that dental decay and gum dis
orders are both prevented and ar
rested when extra amounts of
foods containing vitamin C are in
cluded in a well-balanced diet.
Vitamin C is best obtained from
the citrus fruits, tomatoes and
raw leafy vegetables such as cab
bage.
Vitamin D which we get from
the sun, from fish-liver oils and
concentrates, and from irradiated
foods and those fortified with vita
min O concentrate, is necessary
for the proper utilization of the
calcium and phosphorus, which
must be generously supplied if the
teeth are to develop properly.
Importance of Dental Hygiene
Thus a carefully calculated diet,
beginning before birth and con
tinuing throughout life, is neces
sary to build teeth that are struc
turally sound. But even the most
perfect teeth require constant
care to maintain their soundness.
Thorough brushing is necessary
after every meal to remove all
particles of food which remain be
tween the crevices and cling near
the necks of the teeth. If not re
moved, this debris may ferment,
giving rise to unpleasant odors
and creating acids which may at
tack the tooth enamel.
It is important, however, that
the brushing be done correctly,
away from the gums and with a
slight rolling stroke, so that the
bristles can penetrate between the
teeth. Never use a horizontal
stroke nor brush toward the gums.
This may irritate the tender tis
sues and may also force food par
ticles under the gums at the necks
of the teeth.
A Good Dentifrice Essential
The selection of a dentifrice is
most important because an agree

frice helps to float away minute
bits of food not reached by the
toothbrush.
It is also advisable to use a
paste or powder which helps to
restore luster to teeth which have
been surface-stained by foods and
beverages.
The use of an antiseptic mouth
wash, at least once daily, espe
cially before retiring, is com
mendable as it leaves the mouth
fresh and clean.
It is also important to give the
teeth regular systematic cleans
ing, and to see your dentist peri
odically for a careful checkup.
Questions Answered
Mrs. L. B. R.—Yes, lettuce and
corn both contain copper, and so
does beef liver. Copper is a min
eral that is needed for the proper
utilization of iron.
Mrs. F. L. S.—Children require
about one and one-half times as
much phosphorus as is necessary
for a full grown man. That is
why they must eat generously of
whole grain cereals, eggs, dried
legumes, leafy vegetables, milk
and cheese.

Diet and Dental Disease
Various investigators have ad
vocated different dietary formulas
for the control of dental decay.
There is a lack of agreement
among them as to which single
element is the most important in
constructing a diet to prevent
caries.
But outstanding authorities hold
that each of the five following di
etary factors has a controlling in
fluence: vitamins A, C and D; an
adequate supply, in the correct
proportions, of the minerals, cal
cium and phosphorus; an excess
of alkaline or base-forming foods
over acid-forming foods; and a
generous allowance of raw foods,
with emphasis on those that leave
an alkaline-ash.
Vitamin A and Tooth Structure
Notable research has demon
strated that vitamin A is a definite
factor in controlling tooth develop
ment. The development of the
enamel is governed by a complex
structure which begins to deterio
rate as soon as vitamin A is with
held. When experimental animals
are placed on a diet lacking in
this vitamin, their teeth become
brittle, chalky and white. This is
due to the loss of the enamel, with
its orange colored pigment, and
the exposure of the dentine.
An English authority also claims
that vitamin A is necessary to
help prevent diseases of the gums.
Inasmuch as vitamin A likewise
has many other important func
tions to perform in the body, ev
ery homemaker should see to it
that her meals contain an abun
dance of milk and other dairy
products, and the green, leafy and
yellow vegetables which are a
good source of this vitamin.
Vitamin C and Tooth Health
Vitamin C is closely associated
with the health of both teeth and
gums. There is strong evidence
Braid Trimming Is Smart
IT’S so easy to sew a few rows
* of braid onto a house dress or a
little girl’s panty-frock, and it’s
such a smart way to brighten up
simple fashions and make them
more becoming. Here are two at
tractive and unusual designs that
you’ll enjoy making at home, in
pretty fabrics of your own selec
tion. Each includes a detailed
sew chart to guide beginners.
The House Dress.
Here’s a style so becoming and
attractive that you’ll probably
want to make it of thin wool or
sports silk for general wear, as
well as of percale, calico, ging
ham for the house. The very
short kimono sleeves are just as
easy to work in as no sleeves, and
much more becoming. Straight
panels front and back, gathers at
the sides of the waistline only,
give this design an unusually
good figure line.
The Panty-Frock.
High waistline, puff sleeves,
square necklines—they all look
adorable on little girls. This flar
ing frock buttons down the front
so that ambitious tots can easily
dress themselves in it. This de
sign will be pretty in so many dif
ferent materials—gingham, chal
lis, percale and dimity. A dvess
up version in taffeta will be sweet,
too; trim that with ribbon instead
of the braid.
The Patterns.
1570 is designed for sizes 34, 36,
38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36
requires 47/a yards of 35-inch ma
terial without nap; 2% yards braid
to trim.
1516 is designed for sizes 2, 4,
6 and 8 years. Size 4 requires 3
yards of 35-inch material; 4%
yards braid or ribbon to trim; 1%
yards ribbon for belt.
