Officers said that if such a. plot was afoot it was inspired by Miss 1 of age, arid during or after pregnan- cy. One explanation, and the one 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 thyriod gland for its proper functioning: In certain areas, there' is little or no iodine in the soil, and the water supply as well as the foods grown in such areas arc defic- ient in iodine, with the result that there is a good deal of simple goitre in these areas, Persons :living -near the sea are usually free from simple goitre because of their use of sea foods which get their iodine from the sea -water. All cases of simple goitre should be properly treated, even though.,they cause ne symptoms, as is often the ease. Untreated simple goitres may pass into a more serious condition. Exopthalmic goitre, or Graves' dis- ease,, may result. It is a mistake to attempt the self -treatment of goitre with iodine or anything else. In the. first place, a diagnosis should be made —and secondly, the advisability of us- ing iodine in a particular case must be decided by a physician. Father more, the amount to be used and the period to be covered are important and call for individual consideration.

From the point of view of the prevention of those diseases of the wood which enter by way of wounds, the necessity of close pruning cannot be over emphasized. This simply means that pruning cuts should be made at the base of the twig or the branch to be removed, as close to the parent branch as possible, so that no stubs are left projecting: A close. pruning cut will begin to heal when growth starts in the spring, but a stub, which usually dies back to its base, cannot be readily overgrown with new tissue and thus serves as a vulnerable point of entrance for wood destroying fungi. Very frequently dead wod is infect- ed with fungi which may be, .end of- ten are, present in the wood consider- "To onsider „Tn truth ably beyond the point where the twig I or branch is killed. Therefore, when Richter. cutting out dead wood, it is advisable to stake the cut several inches below the visible limits of the dead areas, wherever this is possible. As freshly made wounds have a tendency to dry out at the edges dur- ing the winter months, the longer the time between pruning and the com- mencement of growth, the greater is the amount of resultant killing back and the more opportunities there are for infection. Consequently, in the case of thepeach, which is particular- ly subject to •diseases entering via wounds, it is desirable to delay prun- ing as late as possible in the dormant season. . Situated in the front of the neck is the thyriod gland. A gland is a body organ that is designed to produce a particular secretion. Most glands poor out their secretions on the ex- ternal 'or internal surfaces of the body perspiration and saliva being ex- amples of this. Several glands, of which the thyriod is one, discharge their secretion direct into the blood stream, and are known as ductless or endocrine glands. If the thyriod 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 thyriod secretion, and if the gland is unable to supply it, the natural result is that the gland becomes enlarged in. its effort to sup- ply the amount of secretion needed. This type of enlargement is known as simple goitre. The secretion of the thyriod gland 4.11.14011N111,..., LY PT • YT Delicious Cereal Corrected His Constipation If you suffer from constipation, read this fine letter: "I have been troubled for years with .constipation.

"Since eating Kellogg's ALL - BRAN each morning, there has been a general improvement in my health without the ill effects that I formerly experienced when taking laxatives.

The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is much like that in leafy vegetables. Isn't this "cereal way" safer than risk- ing patent medicines? Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient to relieve ordi- nary constipation. With each mea in serious cases. If not relieve this way, see your doctor. Be sure to ask for Kellogg's: ALL -BRAN.
