Value of lodine in Goit re

By Herman N. Sundessn, M. 0- I PREVENTION J* the watchword <>f modem medicine. There i* no doctor today who h not » firm believer in the old adage that pound of cure becaushHHRDUU an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure t»e< ause doctors. of all men. know how complicated and risky even the beat of cure* can be when contrasted with the la-autlful safety of prevention. Consider goitre, an enlargement of the thyroid gland In the nerk which la likely to occur when not enough incline la obtained In the food. Goitre cause* many and adverse change* in the body and Its cure often requires a major operation. ¥dt. Its prevention Is sometime* «o simple! A little iodine doe* the trick. Only a little is needed, but that little is all-important. Why? Wei. it's as simple as this. The secretion of the thyroid gland contains iodine When iodine Is lacking, the gland attempts to make more of Its secretion to supply the lack and In so doing enlarges. Usually there ar* no symp toms until the enlargement Is so great that heavy pressure is put on the surrounding structures. In certain parts of the United States the water and soil, and hence the food* grown in these areas, are lacking it iodine. These ureas arc called goitre belts because many people in these region* develop an enlarged thyroid gland or goitre. Consequently, it would appear important that efforts be made to be sure that all persons In these areas get a sufficient supply of iodine. Surveys have been made in many areas, for example. West Virginia, whore in im it ••• found that <MI percent of the

Though the Russian army was almost at Warsaw, Weygand s strategy threw it back defeated and saved Poland for 19 years. Because of his great name hu was called In again In IMO when the French army was at Its last gasp, but got crossed in the Hitler swirl. —O-0 National Shrine:* Today President Truman officiated at ceremonies dedicating the Hyde Park stone and stucco mansion along the Hudson river in New York state where Franklin D Rom-evrlt was born, as a national shrine. A year ago today a pail was east over this nation, which In a few moments enveloped the earth, when press wires flashed the news. ‘•The President to Dead. ' Franklin D. Roosevelt, 31st president of the United States, humanitarian, world leader and Commander in-chief of the mightiest arm les and navies ever assembled by man, had fallen. On the eve of victory In the cause of human Justice and freedom, the great voice which inspired millions and always brought hope to mankind, was stilled. Au era which began with his first election to the presidency ended abruptly Amidst Hie beauty of ihe estate's parklike grounds, dotted with beautiful rose gradens. beds of tulips and daffodils, a velvety earpit of green, century old majestic trees and protected with a stately helmlock hedge. President Roosevelt is buried. Here the mail, once the greatest world figure rests in peace ... at home. President Roosevelt will always be remembered, foe in the history of the world the years through which he lived, cannot be removed from history. History will give him a high place in world affuiis and leadership. This nation, which he so dearly loved, carries on. It's problems are many and varied, but as Mr. Roosevelt said in bls first inaugural address, "the only thing we have to fear to fSer itself.'' America pauses today as It observes the anniversary of his death, and nays tribute to Its former president and gallant leader.

growing girls itod goitre NeverIheless, It has been iffiown. according to Dr. Oliver I*. Kimball of Cleveland, that this type nf goitre may In- pniventwi by making surs that the ixxiy is supplied with sufficient ItHlltie Studies were also carried out to determine the lodine content of water in certain areas and it was found that where there was no iodine In the water, mere than twothirds of the school children had enlargement of the thyroid gland. In one state r determined effort was made to prevent goitre by the use of hxiised salt. Only 0.02 per cent of potassium iodide hud to be added to the salt, and this was done without any cost to the consumer. By means ot lectures, newspapers, articles, etc., a campaign was carried out to educate people In the knowlegc of the value of iodized salt In goitre prevention. As a result of this campaign it was found that the number of goitres dropped from 64.6 i>er cent to 17.2 percent after a period of four years. The use of lodised xalt has no IB pffectiOnsofar as anyone has been able to determine. It wax feared that possibly the widespread use of lodised salt might lea’d to another type of goitre known as toxic goitre. In which there are such symptoms as loss of weight and strength, nervousness. Irritability and damage to the heart. However, tn a comparative study It was found that only 4.1 perceflt of ■ large group who used iodized salt had toxfc goitre while 55.5 percent of those who bad purposely avoided the use of iodized salt bad symptoms of toxic goitre.

So I believe it wise to call Him in to deal with our many problems. The great issue of our text was personal responsibility to existing governmental authority Jesus' answer intimates that the disciples wcra mistaken as to the proper perspective of responsibility. He urged obedience to reasonable governmental decree, as governments art- ordained of God and are very necessary to human life Hut, He exhorts them not to forget that their first and most important obligation is to God • Render unto God the things that arc- God's." If our obligations of faith, love and surrender to God are faithfully observed, governments will never have any reason for doubting our devotion to patriotic duty. Anyone- who is devoted to God will also be found faithful in service to his fellowman Therefore, Christ is the solution to all your problems. Let us trust Him to guide us through these turbulent times.

The second "break'' came- when Troth reached the second fire in time to kick the army blanket out of the flames.

CHAPTER TWELVE CLAIRE'S arm around my waist startled me out of my thoughts. "Go get some clothes on," she said gently. "You don’t want the police to find you like this. Or—haven’t you called them ?" "I’ve called Hunt Berwick. He said he’d do all that's necessary," I told her dully, on our way to my room. "Swell!" Claire approved. “Does he live near by?" “Na Somewhere in the East Eighties. A friend lent him his apartment there," 1 said, strugglir<e Into a dress. "Fine. Then ws have a few minutes." Claire was apparently pleased. "A bieasing I hole up around the comer and wm all dressed and ready to go off for ths week-end when you phoned.” I started to apologize foe spoilIng ber plans, but she cut me off: “Stop it! We haven't time tor politeness Come on, let’s havs a rebursal instead. What are you going to tell the police?" I gaped at ber. 'Tell the police ?" Why, I Lave nothing to tell them." 'That's what YOU think,” Claire told her grimly. "They'U grill you tUI you’re done to a crisp, baby, and

you'd better be prepared for IL Don’t forgcL the great Ingalls was killed in your apartment” I sat down limply. "Yea. And I was waiting for her in anger when all the time she was lying in Neat's room, murdered,” I said miserably. 1 then proceeded to tell Claire all the small events of the previous afternoon. That is. until I came to my suppression of Deane’s eigaret stubs. It hadn’t dawned on me. up to then, that there might be a connection between my And and Margot's murder. Now that it did the shock struck me so dumb Claire had to coax and drag the story out ot me. She glanced at me pityingly when she had it all straight in the end, and then asked the inevitable question: “Are you in love with him, Jane ?" It was the last straw. "No, no, do!” I almost screamed at her. "Why does everyone ask me that? Can't I go out with a man a few times without being crazy about him?" “Sure you can,” she admitted calmly. “I only wanted to know. And now that I do, and ree you kept mum to the Berwick man out of good sense only, I say—’More power to you I* You didn’t know there’d been a crime when you found those stubs, so why should you tell him? If you want my adviee: Just you stick to what you said yesterday when he mentions it in front of the police, which he’s sure to do. If Deane killed Margot Ingalls they’ll find it out without you. And if he didn'L it’ll save him. and us, a lot of grief." "But you don’t really think be did it?" I worried. Claire shook her head. "No, I don’t. Mainly because I don't see why he should. Okay, she was rude to him Wednesday. But that isn't a sufficient reason to murder her, to it?"

"Not exactly." I agreed. “Besides, he may not have been in the apartment with Margot at all,'’ Claire went on reflectively. "Someone may have planted the cigaret ends to make him look guilty." It sounded wonderfully convincing. "Then what shall 1 tell the police?” I asked. “The truth. With that one exccption," Claire advised. "Concentrate on Ingalls* goofy talk Wednesday night They're bound to get aome clue out of It." "Yes, and on her demand to have the place to herself for the afternoon yesterday," 1 supplemented Claire's suggestion. I was just going to go Into details of what I was going to say when deep voices from the direction of the living room, announced the arrival of the police. The next moment Hunt knocked at my door. T thought you might like to have me in on the investigation. ’ he told me in a low voice instead of a greeting. "So now. I am. 1 asked Jim Wortley—the fnend in the district attorney’s office I mentioned to you—to assign me to the case, and he made me a special deputy for IL Inspector Barry ot the Homicide la waiting for you in the living room, Jane, Come on. let'a go,” ho added, louder end more formally. The living room was full of men. There were uniformed policemen by the score besides, os I found out later, finger-print men and photographers, and the medicui examiner, Dr. Rosen—a smallish, rosycheeked, white-haired man—complete with several assistants.
