Where, •World's Tallest Men
Are to .be Found.
It is often said that the tallest peo-
ple are Sound in the temperate zone%
_and the general idea is that the Bri-
tish and. the Scandinavians are. the
'tallestraces in the world. If, 'how-
ever, you go carefully into the figures
you will find that this is not the case,
The average height of +k'nglish,
Scots and Scandinavians is the same.
A full-grown man of each raoe aver-
agee 5': ft, 7 2-5 ins. In height. The
Irish area fraction of au Inch shorter
and' next come Danes and Belgians.
But those are not the tallest races.
In the matter of laches, the records
ars held by Zulus; Iroquois Indians,
Polynesians, and Patagonians. The
laet, the •tallest race In thea world, aver-
age S ft. 10 1.8. Inas ' Now. the Zulus
live in a semi -tropical climate, the
Irotjueis in a tomperate one, the Poly-
nesians in some of the hottest parts
of the world, while the Patagonian
- 'inhabit -the horn of South America,
one of the coldest and most miserable
places on earth.
In remarkable contrast to the Pats -
soutane are the Laplanders who, re-
siding almost on the Arctic circle, are
the shortest race on earth, a grown
roan being only seven -tenths of an
inch over 6 ft.
The more one studies the matter
the more puzzling it beconie's, but one
point seems, clear enough—that cli-
mate and latitude have nothing what,
ever to do with height.
Food and fresh . air, indeed, have
more to do with the development -of
the individual than climate, es la
proved by the fact that everywhere
the "farm laborer is taller than the
artisan.
I A striking example of 'this Is pro-
vided by Scotland, where the farm
laborer is four inches taller and thirty-
six pounds heavier than the average
Glasgow artisan. Again, •the fishing
population of the Yorkshire Coast ex-
ceed

go about with their thront•s exposed.
What is the nature and cause of
goitre? Marine : and Kimball,' two
noted men who ha -,,,e given this sub-
ject much consideration, have this to
say of it: "Simple goitre has been de-
monstrated to be a deficiency diocese
of the' thyroid gland, due, almost en-
tirely to a lack of normal iodiiiosup-
lily inthe food and. drink of man."
Phe disease is not. confined to the hu-
man race, horses, cattle, 'sheep, dogs,
cats, rabbits arid, fish .also being 'ef-
fected. -
Goitre is of "world-wide distribution,
but most' common in inland countries
especially on high plateaus 'and' in
mountainous regions. glens. Tris very Prev-
alent in Canada; beingt,Mound-in -On-
tario, Quebec
, New.. Brunswick,. Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and'' certain -sec-
tions of British' Columbia, Goitre
seems to be fairly, common in New On-
tario .and also in the north-eastern
part of old Ontario where the surface
drainage contains very little iodine.
It is also prevalent about the Great
Lakes, •
Rough surveys of the province ap-
pear to show that in general there is
a considerable amount of goitre in the
northern sections, the percentage:am-
ong school children boring from ten' to

Supplies in' the province are at present
being made, and these, no doubt, will
shed further light en this sulilect. The
freedom of maritime countries :from
goitre is due to the presence of suffi-
cient iodine in the food and drink fox
all requirements of the thyroid gland.

water .and 'sea food (animal or vege-
table). It is also present in the air.

deposits which are often deficient in
iodine b have the iodine removed by
the process of manufacture. Pienis
growing on soil; which contain iodine
will take it up and pass it on to the
animal consumer, . but if the soil is
deficient in 'iodine they are not able to
I furnish a- sturce of supply to the ani-
mal, 'and goitre results.
Statistics show that the disease is
generally more prevalent in women
than in men in the proportion of three
oi• four to one.:'
the best way to overcome this dis-
ease is by the administration of iodine,
and the most effective way of giving
iodine is internally. One can admin-
ister iodine by inhalation or by' ex-
ternal 'application, but both these
methods are mord o • - a i ' ''

Iodine can be given in the drinking -
water or by the uso'of iodized table
salt but the me t effective way is to
give it in the forni of sodi0ni iodide
or in an organic form of -iodine done
np ina chocolate. tablet. The dis-
agreeable taste of the sodium iodide
makes it an ineffective preparation in
that children simply won't take it for
any length of time, `and if: taken in
this form it should be once a week in
three -grain tablets during the entire
school year: It can't be done, Tho
children refuse "to take it.
To overcorne this objection, a'choe
olate; costed tablet containing five to

is the best method yet devised. Dur-
ing the period that the iodine is being
administerdd the patient should be
,under medical supervision.

Apart from accident or illness: due

that people make is in not realizing

always. poor blood. If' you have ner-

and other nerve pains, the cause is
exhausted nerves. But run dawn
nerves are also a result of poor blood,

Angered by High Taxes,.
Peasants Attack Town..
Three thousand peasants, armed
chiefly with cudgels and hatchets,
made an organized attack on the little
town of Teano, near Caserta, eays a
Rome despatch. They stormed. the
Municipality, flung out the furniture,
books and documents into the street,
sprinkled them with benzine and soon
had a gigantic bonfire blazing.
The Royal Coniinissioner, who was
in charge, Was seized and beaten; but
managed afterward to.escape and hide
in a. haystack until the worst was over,
After the Municipality came the turn
of the Customs Office, and then the
Postoffiee, but lie -re the rioters were
foiled by the courageous behavior of
the postmaster and his daughter, who
succeeded in barricading themselves
in and did, not leave the building until
by telephone and telegraph, they had
called for help i
p m ne ghbcring auth-
orities. There were only a few Cara
binieri in Teano. Most of them were
presiding at the horse fair—the riot-
ers had chosen their day advisadly—
and the remainder was soon overpow-
ered, one or two being rather severely
wounded.
It would seem that the riot is the
'Mut explosion of popular wrath
