Stunt Set by Tuberculosis Association
for Early Part Of December
The biggest educational campaign ever
waged against tuberculosis has just been
launched by the National tuberculosis
association. During the past twelve
months tuberculosis, a preventable and
durable disease, killed 10000 Americans
During that period. one-thrd of the wage
earners who died in this country died Of
this disease This Is a matter which most
decidedly merits attention and remedy in
so far as human effort renders a remedy
possible For this reason the association
is sending out five of its leading officials
to visit every State in the union and on
October 10 sixth will start. The man
who will come to Vermont will be
Frederick d. Hopkins the field secretary,
who has the New England States and
then goes to the south. Phillip b. Jacobs,
assistant secretary. will go to Colorado
and Utah. DR.. H. A. Pattison, medical
field secretary. and Charles NJ. DeForest,
modern health crusade executive, will 60

All Of the local organizations have
already begun to prepare for the Red
Cross Christmas seal sale from December
to December 10. when more then $780,
600 must be raised throughout the country
to insure the success of the program
which has been prepared for the coming

methods of preventing it. To accomplish
this everyone must help.

IODINE TO LAST FOREVER
Nitrates and Seaweed Offer Virtually
Inexhaustible supply

Iodine. that household first aid for cuts.
bruises and sprains, as we'll as the anti
septic which saved thousands Of lives
during the war. is a medicament about
which most persons hold the vaguest
ideas. Virtually the whole of the worlds
supply is obtained from the mother
liquors of the nitrate ofcinas, which, in
the past was obtained from kelp. a sea-
weed. in which 1t first was discovered
and isolated by the French chemist
Courtois in 1911. To-day it Is the most
important by-product of the Chilean nj
trate industry.
The kelp industry formerly-was Of con-
siderable Importance in Glasgow The
abundant kelp Of the west coast of Ire
land and the western islands of Scotland
which was thrown up on the beach by
the sea, was collected by peasants. 1t
was dried and burned in shallow pits, in
which the ashes accumulated and melted
together. 1t contained, besides iodine
some carbonate of soda and chloride of
potassium.
Iodine is now obtained as a by-product
of sodium nitrate. In the process by
which sodium nitrate Is dissolved and
separated from its insoluble impurities,
iodine gradually acdumulates in the
mother liquor" principally in the state
of sodium iodide and iodate. Later. this
liquor is further concentrated by evap-
grafton. and at the proper time sodium
bisulphite is added, with the result that
iodine is precpitated.
Owing to the low temperature at which
iodine volatilizes, oficinas has to be care
fully packed to avoid loss. 1t is usually
placed in barrels. each of which is COW
cred with rawhide, and until 1t is re-
quired for expectation. is stored in under
ground cellars.
Were the supply Of mother liquor to
| fail, mankind would still possess virtually
an inexhaustibls supply Of iodine in sea-
weed. The vast submarine growths Of
fucus and laminaria on the southern
coasts Of Chile alone would suffice for
centuries
