first in 1917. There are many chang.
es brought about by the war and this
is one of them 1t was encouraged by
the Food Ministry and soon developed
into an institution which will proba-
bly, grow to extents little suspected.
Some people were afraid it would
leave nothing at all for the housewife
to do and as a consequence would de-
velop unlovely traits within her. These
were the people who correspond over
here to those men who truly believe
that all woman has to do is to get up
in the morning, dash off little break
fast, sit around and do nothing until
lunch time, fling out bite in a mo-
ment, sit around and do nothing until
dinner time, get the evening meal and
wash the dishes. Usually remark of
this nature is ade: well, l wish /
could stay home from work and loaf
all day" You can't teach that kind
of man anything about womans'
work so don't waste breath trying.
But notice if he does do anything so
unheard of as stay at home for an en-
tire day, he is worn to a FRAGILE. I've
seen men quite strong enough to put
over wonderful things in an office,
who went completely to pieces after a
day spent at home. They simply had
not the vitality to stand the small, nag
ging petty things which are part and
parcel of woman's work-even though
that work could have been done just
as easily by anyone else and required
little executive ability.
To go back to the manner Of running
community kitchen: In the first
place, If desired, the kitchen may be
very large, requiring the sending of
prepared food to various depots to be
transported tc many various small
stations where it is sold in whatever
quantities one desires-or several kit
chens may be run Independently. Gus
toners apply for whatever they wish
and can quite easily carry home an
entire dinner just ready to serve, OF
excellent quality.
There is Surely Need to be Met.
We often buy good homemade calS-
es, pies and bread-and often salads
from our church people and other or
carnations but these are prepared in
such small quantities that the cost
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-03-11

for them is usually too great to make
it practical for steady undertaking.
Then, again, the work falls upon two
or three and is done without desire for
personal profit which makes it I'M
business-like Some people will ex-
claim in horror at living on such fare
and feeling that it may be inferior.
1t should be far superior to home pre-
pared food-except under circumstanc.
es where the housewife has plenty OF
time on her hands and loves her work,
making it a preferred profession in her
eyes. The demand for such a kitchen
would come entirely from housewives
with more Oh their hands than can be
attended to.
The demand would come also from
the thousands of working women who
need hot nourishing meals and who
have no time to prepare them. And
from the thousands Of children with
working mothers. To say nothing OF
the husbands OF working mothers who
contribute their share to the family
income and who also need we'll pre-
pared, we'll cooked meals.

The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-09-20

Boston, Mass, Sept. s, l9l9.-The
slogan "To Make America Safe for
Americans" as the object of the 18th
annual meeting of the National Equal
Rights league to be held in the Metro
politan A. NJ. f. church, Fifteenth st.
between l. and NJ sts., Washington, d.
c., Sept. 1926, has met the hearty
approval of the race. Endorsements
of this object for the convention have
been received at the Office of the cor
responding secretary here from all
quarters.
Hence the league has decided TO ask
the entire race to hold simultaneously
all over the country, mass meetings
demanding a "Safe America" on Sun
day, Sept. q, and asking the favor of
Almighty God in the struggle for our
rights. 1t is suggested these race
meetings be called by Equal Rights
committee of citizens or of the church
and, each meeting constituting itself
a local league, send delegates 70 the

Health Hints
Dr.. Julian n. Lewis
COITRES

The word goitre is applied to any
swelling in the neck which is con-
nected with a gland located in that po-
sition called the thyroid gland. A
goitre is of such common occurrence
and may be of so much danger or of
such little harm that it may not be out
OF place to write few words on the
subject in order that those having a
harmless one may be set at ease and
those having the dangerous kind may
be warned.
We do not know what the function
of the thyroid gland is, but we do
know that it secretes something into
the blood that is very important to
life, because when it is removed. as it
sometimes is by careless surgeons,
death results. AS has been said, swell
ings of this gland are of two kinds
dangerous and non-dangerous. The
non-dangerous engagements come usu-
ally In response to a need by the
body of more of the secretion which is
manufactured by the gland. There
are two periods in the life of women
when the body especially needs more
of this substance than any other time
they are during the period in girls
following puberty and in women dur
ing pregnancy, and it is very common
for the neck to become larger at these
times and to become smaller when
they are past. A famous artist when
painting a picture of a girl of the
adolescence age was so exact that he
included goitre in the portrait. How
ever, these swellings occur also in men
and in women not in the periods men
toned above, and because they occur
unusually frequently in people living
around certain lakes in this country
and in Switzerland it is thought that
the swelling comes from the presence
of something or the absence of some
thing in the drinking water.
The substance which the thyroid
gland secretes contains iodine, and in
order to help the gland and make it
unnecessary for it to be so large,
iodine is given as a medicine in the
form of tincture or of the iodide of

potash. Sometimes the secretion it.
self obtained from the glands of ami
mails is given, but as it is very harm
full when given in too large doses, it
should be administered by physician.
Often the gland becomes so large as
to press on the windpipe and possibly
causing death by choking. This sort
of tumor should be removed by oper-
alton.
The dangerous kind of goitre occurs
mostly in women. The swelling may
not be very large, but it is very active.
1t makes the eyeballs protrude out of
their sockets and the heart beats very
fast, and the patient is very nervous
and irritable. This kind of tumor is
nearly always fatal unless removed by
operation.

that some losses to the packers were

failed to materialize. 1t was brought
out also that New York City will soon
cease to be a slaughterng point, all
the meat business being done through
Chicago. Mr.. Good said slaughter is
