Key Substance of the Thyroid How Avoid Iodine Starvation THE and his and rs; tof Dr. E. C. Kendall of the Mayo Clinics at Rochester, Minn. Today we know that although it constitutes only about one part in three million parts of the body weight, iodine is so essential that its absence from the diet may have the gravest conse- quences. Thyroid The Gland of Glands Iodine is necessary for the nor- mal functioning of the thyroid gland, situated in the front part of the neck. The thyroid is so important that it is often regarded as the throttle which governs the human locomotive, and when it fails to function normally, the body machinery may be thrown out of balance. during Thyroid disturbance childhood may affect mental and physical development, and many children have been accused of laziness who are suffering from thyroid deficiency. Thyroid disorder may be a complicating factor in obesity, and specialists have round mat it is associated witn many stubborn skin diseases. It is also claimed that iodine starvation influences mental make-u- p and emotional tendencies. ' -- Disfiguring Goiter Simple goiter is a common disorder of the thyroid gland. At one time the very mention of this disease terrified girls and women, who feared the unsightly lump in the neck which disfigures the victim. Now, thanks to dramatic experiments, we know that simple goiter is an iodine deficiency dis- ease. - Animal Experiments Point the Way In 1916, it was estimated that a million young pigs died annually in Wisconsin. Investigation dis closed that their thyroid glands were abnormally large and abnormally low in iodine. When io dine was administered to the mothers, the young pigs were born normal. Scientists reasoned that if goiter could be prevented in animals, it could be prevented in humans, and undertook the now famous census in Akron, Ohio. A study was made of the thyroid glands of all school girls from the fifth to the twelfth grades. Almost 50 per cent were found to have enlarged thyroid glands. The girls were given small doses of sodium iodide dissolved in drinking water at given periods over 2Vz years. At the end of that time, investigators found that of 2,000 pupils, only 5 developed thyroid enlargement. Of the same number not treated, 500 showed enlargement. Danger Periods This demonstration aroused the interest of the scientific world and Sentl for Tins FREE CHART Showing the lotlinn Content of Variout Foods Invited to write C Hout-toGoudiss for chart showing the foods rirh in iodine and those which are poor in this substance.

The great danger periods are during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence. The diet of the ex pectant mother must include an adequate supply to protect herself and avoid the early development of simple goiter in the child. It is also essential to provide sufficient iodine for growing chil dren, as the incidence of the dis ease increases steadily up to the eighteenth year in girls; in boys it reaches its peak at twelve. Some investigators also claim that one way to enhance the ac tion of the glands after middle life. and so prolong youth, is to include in the daily diet some foods with a high iodine content. Nature's Storehouse of Iodine It is the duty of every home- maker to learn where the neces sary iodine can be obtained and to foods in the include iodine-ric- h daily diet, but it is especially im portant for those living in "the goiter belt." This area stretches along the Appalachian mountains, as far north as Vermont, west ward through the basin of the Great Lakes to the state of Washington, and southward over the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states. Foods Iodine-Ric- h The sea is the great storehouse of iodine and hence, the most abundant sources are sea food, in cluding salmon, cod, crabmeat and oysters; cod liver oil; and salt. fruits and vegetables grown near the sea contain varying amounts of iodine, depending upon Graceful Butterfly New Crochet Idea iodized Salt One of the most satisfactory methods for adding iodine to the diet, especially in goiterous re gions, is through the use of iodized e test salt. In Detroit, a of iodized salt reduced the prevalence of simple goiter from 36 per cent to 2 per cent. Similar fig ures have been cited for other lo calities. Iodized salt costs no more than ordinary table salt and is an excellent safeguard against simple goiter.' Axs hts 'JM? ' Iodine in Drinking Water Even in early times, it was be lieved that there was some rela tion between goiter and drinking water, and recent evidence has disclosed that there was a sound basis for this belief. Two investi gators found that the water in a large part of the northern half of the United States falls into a low iodine classification. Several communities have given consideration to the prevention of goiter by the addition of iodine to the water supply. This method is commendable, but it must be borne in mind that wherever iodine is taken in forms other than food, careful supervision by the physician or the public health authorities is necessary. To those bomemakers interested in planning the best possible diet for their families, I shall gladly send lists showing which foods are rich in. iodine and which are poor in this substance. Questions Answered Miss S. G. There is no justifi cation for serving toast at every meal instead of bread. It is true that proper toasting changes some of the starch to dextrine which is quickly and easily digested. But reveal laboratory experiments that the proteins of toasted bread and crusts have a lower digestibility, and animals gain less weight when fed on them than on the untoasted bread and the inside crumbs of the loaf. is a Miss C. T. Agar-aga- r indigestible carbohydrate. As it is not digested, its caloric value is zero, and it could not possibly be fattening. Mrs. B. R. S. The average meal leaves the stomach within four hours, though a large meal may stay for five hours. However, the length of time food remains in the stomach is only a fraction of that required for the entire digestive process, which varies in normal individuals from 12 to 47 hours. Carbohydrates leave the stomach most quickly, proteins are next, and fats require the longest period. g, "L; r ir . .' 6031.
