Both Plum and Kishi were brought
to the conviction after a series of eN-
periments that the function of the thy
roid gland is to neutralize the poisons
derived from the putrefaction OF al
bumen in the intestines.
An exclusive diet of eggs causes
condition among children which their
parents term "biliousness." This So
called "biliousness' is simply the re-
suit of self-poisoning through the i'm
perfect elimination of the protein poi
son.
In children some glands do not de-
velop unit their twelfth, thirteenth, or
fourteenth year of life. Hence the
child lacks it's assistance in taking care
of these poisons and eliminating them
from the system.
It is for this reason that beef ex-
tracts, which contain alkaloids that
no infant or invalid should be per-
mitted to swallow, become under
many conditions dangerous food.
People in a feeble state of health,
who are put on a beef tea diet, are
frequently made worse because of the
imperfect functioning of the thyroid
and other glands. These alllaloids
stimulate and bring about a state of
functional excitement. Functional eX-
element does not mean invigoration.
Neither beef nor beef extract con-
tains the merest trace of iodine, yet
roid depends for its activity upon the
presence of iodine compounds alb
stracted from food.
1t has been further established that
animals, during the period when they
feed on fresh grasses and the seeds
of grasses, in accordance with the die
tates of the Book of Genesis, have
much more active thyroid glands.
The Chicago packers have taken ad-
vantage of this phenomenon to manu-
facture the thyroid extracts advertised
in the medical journals.
The Investigations of Seidell and
Fenger on animals shipped to the
Union Stockyards, in Chicago, from all
parts of the United States led to a
surprising discovery. 1t was shown
by these experimenters that the per-
centage of iodine found in The healthy
thyroid glands of sheep and hogs was
about three times as much between
June and November, when the ami
mails were allowed to feed naturally
on green pasture, as that found be-
tween December and May, when they
were fed on many Impoverished COM
mercial by-product foods.
1t was also curiously noted that the
thyroid glands become larger during
the months in which their low iodine
content was observed, indicating some
relationship between the iodine and
the swelling of the glands.
What effect had the removal of the
iodine from the food of the 1900, 900
children under ten years of age who
have died in the United States during
the last four years upon the health of
those children prior to their deaths :?

Try This If You

There is one sure way that never

and that is to dissolve 1t. This de-
stroys it entirely, To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fiuffy.

You can get liquid arvon at any drug

ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fall.

CHAPTER %

E CHAPTER 90
The thyroid gland, dependent upon
| food minerals for its health. is n moi
son destroyer. Disaster follows when
this gland is deprived of its food,
Iodine.
We shall now consider one more in
stance of'the subtle relationship exist
ing between the food minerals and
the health of the body. There are
glands in the neck called the thyroids,
the importance of which, in the econ
omy of life's processes, was never sus-
pected until Breisaeher, Plum, Kishi
and Bryce made it clear that the thy
roids, like every other organ or gland
of the human body, were really
created for special purpose.
sometimes when the thyroid be-
comes diseased 1t attains an abnormal
size, swelling out in the form of a
great lump above the neck. At other
times when even more seriously dis
| eased its enlargement may be almost
unnoticeable, except to the touch.
It has been almost conclusively es-
tablished that in the proper function
ing of the thyroid it depends in lit
tie understood manner upon the COM
pounds of food iodine.
We have seen how the food min
erals help to build up the body. We
have also seen how they help to tear
of assimilation and elimination they
are equally important. ...
In this work of elimination the food
mineral iodine and the thyroid gland,
which iodine affects profoundly, are
actively engaged, thus helping to rid
the body Of many of its enemies and
defending it against the assault of
disease.
Let us see how the thyroid gland
operates and then we shall under
stand why food iodine is essential to
health.
Alexander Bryce has proved that
the intestinal decomposition of meat
produces poisonous products of putre-
faction which are absorbed by the
walls of the bowels and which, hav-
ing thus entered into the system, be-
come powerful irritants. They thus
produce an increase in the connective
tissues of the organs and blood ves-
sells, setting up what the doctors call
hardening of the arteries, senile de-
cay, tumors, and cancers.
Metchnikoff long ago suggested that
TO aid the body in its effort to protect
itself against these poisonous products
nature has provided poison DESTROYING
organs, among which is the thyroid
gland.
Breisacher has proved that the poi
sonous products of meat digestion will
quickly kill dog if the thyroid gland
is removed, although after its re-
moval the life of the animal can be
Unfortunately prolonged If it is fed
upon bread and milk.
His experiment conclusively estab-
lished the function of the thyroid as
poison destroyer.

1T would also save the working popu-
lation with an income of less than
$1,000 year from the great hardship
of doctors bills.
'The system is to have the govern
ment pay each physician who chooses
to enter the plan an annual fee from
each patient who comes to him. The
number of patients each doctor would
have would be limited, and patients
could transfer from one doctor to an
other at will.
This will place medical practice on
a better economic basis. When med

becomes sick, we will have removed

Courtesies Repeated
'',The same courtesies repeated
themselves next morning-an ofticer
of ours was on the parapet for snort
time and the Turks, | believe, sent
message to say they were sorry they
had not the best brand of cigarets,
but they hoped the ones they sent
would be accepted. They also asked
not for food but for souvenirs. Our
men threw over a penknife. Our Of
ficer picked UP a package which
turned out to be a bomb, and for the
moment there was just a suspicion of
treachery-but it was found to be a
bomb wrapped as the Turks do wrap
their bombs, in flannel, and with a
faulty fuse-a relic of some previous
fight The courtesies continued and
ended as before. They were not re-

far.

morning.
Mr.. Isenberg said that surveys were

hue will build to the Kappa homesteads

The route is that finally chosen by the
plantation, crossing the Wailua river
near tidewater and tunneling under
the Linderman lands to the homesteads.
Preliminary surveys already had been
made.
Lihue will not attempt to build the
road so long as materials are 30 expen-
sive Mr.. Isenberg said. Steel in par
ticular, is rocketing. The plantation
has obligated itself to take off cane
from trans-river lands, and, to do this,
must build a trolley across the river
gulch, regardless of when it should
start the railroad work. This trolley
will serve until the railroad has been
put through.
The homesteaders are getting on nice
