GOITRE• 'ceerence in different.IocaIities. The
disease occurs more frequently In
Situated in the front of the neck is
the thyroid gland. A gland is a body
organ that is designed to produce a
particular secretion. Most glands
pour out their secretions on the ex-
ternal or intetnal surfaces of the
body, perspiration and saliva being
examples of this. • Several glands,
sof which the thyroid is one, discharge
their secretion direct into the blood
stream,, and are, known as ductless
or endocrine glands.
If the thyroid gland becomes en-
larged, it is called a goitre. The en-
largement may be .due, to any one of
several reasons, . The body requires'
- a certain amount . of thyroid seem -
'time and if the gland is unable to,
supply it, the natural 'result is that
the gland becomes enlarged in its
effort to supply the amount of eee-
t'etion needed. This 'type of enlarge-
ment is known as simple goitre.
The secretion of the thyroid gland
is essential to the proper growth and
health of the individual, The child'
e who is born without a thyroid gland
' '`is called a cretin. He fails to grow
properly, and remains dwarfed phy-
sically and mentally. Fortunately,
he can be rescued from this condi-
'Eon by being fed the thyroid glands
of sheep . which supply what is lack-
' '`ing in his own body. An over-.se-
tretion acts as an acceleratox; the
'Amman " body- being driven at ek'ces-
sive speed, using ue unnecessary en-
ergy.
Simple goitre is more common in
some countries than in others, and in
'large countries, such as Canada,
-there is a great variation in its (tee
girls and women than in :males, and
it is seen chiefly from eleven to sev-
enteen years of age, and during or.
after pregnancy.
One explanation, and the ane that
is most generally accepted, is that
simple goitre is due to a lack of io-
dine in the diet. Apparently iodine.
is required by the thyroid gland for
its proper refunctioning. In certain Flan, ' Mr. and Mrs. L. C1enemings.

result that there is a good deal of
simple goitre in these areas. "Per-
sons living near the sea' are; usually
free from simple goitre ' because of
their use of sea -foods whichget their
iodine from the sea -water.
All cases of simple goitre should
be properly treated, even though
they cause no symptoms, as is often
the case. Untreated simple goitres
may pass into a more ' serious con-
dition. Etopthalmis goitre, . or
Graves' disease, may result: It is a
mistake to attempt the self-treat-
enent of goitre with iodineor any
thing else; In the first place, a diag-
nosis should be made, and: secondly,
the advisability of using iodine in a
•particular case must be decided by
the physician. Furthermore, the a-
mount to be used and theperiod to
be covered are important and call
for individual -consideration.

• CANADA'S FORESTS
'S•,pme three centuries ago, when
the French and the English settlers
were building cabins along the north
Atlantic coast, the eastern part of
North America was covered by a
vast and almost unbroken forest. It
extended from the prairies to the sea
and from thq. south Atlantic coast
to Hudson's Bay. Itcomprised heed-
woods of many species with conifers
on the uplands in the south and coni-
fers with fewer species of hardwoods
in the not•th. From the tales that
have come down to us and the story
revealed in the forest itself, we can
guess at its composition.
White and red pine, usually mixed
with balsam fir, spruce, and hard-
woods, extended over an enormous
area in New England and North At-
lantic states, in the Provinces of
Nova Sadie and New Brunswick, and
be the southern portions of Quebec
and Ontario, While spruce, with red
spruce in the fat east, usually mixed
with balsam fir and often with hard-
woods, occupied parts of the same
area, forming dense stands on tho
higher ground in Maine and south -
ere Canada and stretching in seat-
tered forests into the extreme xorth
beyond the Aectie circle.
Balsam fir occurred largely in mix-
ed forests, but also in pure stands on
considerable areas in the higher
slopes. Jack pine :grew then, as at
the present time, on sandy ridges
and plains, but there is probably
mugle more of .it now than there was
in the primeval forest. Larch or
tamarac covered ewampy areas
throughout the entire region, and, al-
though it did not occur in extensive
forests, its total quantity must have
been enormous. hemlock occurred
mainly in mixed stands from ,southa
ern Ontario and southern Quebec
southward.
Black spruce, then as now, grew to
bogs and wet places and in acidifier
covered a vast belt of territory
stretching across the territory now
known as Northern Ontario and Nor-
thern Quebec. 'cedar grew in large
quantity on moist ground about the
margins of lakes and streams. ,The
harclwoods were more abundant • ie
quantity and more numerous in spe-
cies in the southern half of the ter
ritory. They occurred in considerable
quantities, nevertheless, northwai'c! .And I never see my old friend's face,
throughout the Maritime Provinces Fres life is a swift and terrible race.
and in the southern:partsof Quebec lie knows I like him just as. well
and Ontario, but only the white birch As in the days when I rang his bell
and poplars extended: beyond the
black spruce belt into the extreme
north.

ADVENTURE
When I was very young I used to
read
Strange tales of foreign lands, of
hidden places,
Dank jungles, dark, with peering
furtive faces;
And I =aid yearn for alien tongue
and creed.
Adventure, high adventure, was my
need;
But es I grew, prosaic grew my
world;
Around me circumstances tight
arms curled.
ky hopes, my dreams—they flower-
' ed not from seed.
How strange is Patel Now, though
I do not roam,
Sweet mysteries Move and shake
me to the core,
And I have ` found deep magic
thrills, and mere
Than if T were three thousand miles

I find at last a new world—in ,your

But tomorrow comes—and tomorrow
roes,
And the distance between as groWs
and grows;
And the thrushes in the alderebouge
Were 'calling, calling me.
I meant to shine the silver spoons
And paint the kitchen cbairs;
But Dawning blew a kiss to me
And took me unawares.
And on the highest hilltop
The young pines, slim and blue,
Caught frail clouds in their branches
And frayed them quite in two.
The dusk laid clinging finger-tips
Upon my gingham dress,
And the little winds of evening
Were like a kind caress,
A thin new moon was drifting
In a' cloud -of silver foam—
But the tarnished spoons and kitchen;
