MIDDLETOli Provincial I3oard of Health, Ontario er. -Middleton will bo glad to answer questions on Public Health. turn] through' We column. Address him at ,6lpadins. Houle; SPktiliii Cita-cent, Toronto, Goitre in -sits. simple form ' can be cured •and iodine' , is believed to be the cure. The- great obstacle in the wy of a widespread andp ersistent use of ipdine taken internally is because it isso unpalatable. Among school children where ' goitre is especially prevalent he taking of iodine should become a .routine. The amount-e- quired to supply the needs of the body and prevent an enlargement of the thyroid gland is very small. But it is also very unpleasant to the taste. and hence children simply won't keep up the treatment long enough to make it effective: Dr. Kimball of Cleveland who "has , made extensive "stedies of goitre and its treatment, ocesenienei <is the giving of iodine in the form oft.a chocolate covered wafer or tablet con taming 10 milligrams of iodine. This provides a medicine pleasant to the taste, and yet with an adequate am- ount of iodine, one tablet taken once a week throughout the year being suf- ficient to control the disease, and in the great majority of cases to bring about, a reduction in the size, of the thyroid gland. In "Switzerland, in the most goitre dThtricts, Klinger, a : Swiss physician, following 'the 'lead .of other Scientists, instituted the use of iodine in the treatment of school" children with goitre. The,results were astonishing. In the canton -of St. Callan which in January, 1919, showed 87.6 per cent. of all school children goitrous, had in January, 1922e, effected a reduction of 13.1 per cent, In 1917 Marine and Kimball insti- tuted routine iodine treatment among school children in Akron, O. both as a preventive and curative measure, with great, success, and the -treatment has been applied .,in other cities and localities .since that date. Goitre is of -world-wide'. distribution and is confined largely to inland local- ities not necessarily mountainous: In Canada the disease is particularly noted in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, in the Northwest Provinces and in the mountain sections of Brit- ish. Columbia. Localities near the, sea are usually free from goitre, due, it is believed, to the people using sea -foods, both animal and vegetable, `which in their turn draw their iodine supply from the sea water.' In fact the salt deriv- ed from sea water will in its natural state supply enough iodine to supply the needs . of the thyroid gland. and prevent goitre. Statistics prove that . females are more liable to goitre than males in the proportion of 10 to` 4. Most cases occur from `about 11 to 17 years of age, ; but it is often common during pregnancy. It is now believed that if a pregnant woman takes sufficient iodineduring the months preceding the birth of her child, that child will not develop goitre. Older theories in respect to the cause of ,.simple goitre, such as the drinking of water contaminated with sewage or containing too much cal- cium or to .the effect of the colon ba- cillus are no longer, held to be suffi- cient reasons for the occurrence of goitre. A lack of the 'normal iodine supply seems -tile most probable cause. Luxury on the Road.

We aro frequently asked about the .scent given out by the deer. It' is lo- cated in the foot. If the hoof is separ- ated a little pocket is. found containing a pasty substance, the odor of which resembles that of rank cheese. This substance worksout on the hoof and leaves its scent on the ground. if a deer is hard pressed by hounds he will take to water, and running in it for some distance, the odor will be so thoroughly washed out ' of the hoof that no scent will be left on the ground, and consequently the dogs will be unable to follow.

Always deal on the other fellow's' cards, 'enough to bring the total to one more than the next multiple of eleven. As he cannot add more than ten at a time, he will reach a point where he cannot prevent you from deal- ing the 89th card.
