 For the past few days one of the windows of the Northern Drug Go. has acted as a Mecca for the people of Cordova. The reason was the display of a new portrait in oils by our tal- ented fellow-townsmar, the Rev. F. P Ziegler. MT. Zeigler, who has delighted his friends here, as well as outside critics, by his black and white work, and landscapes in col ors, has demonstrated his versatility by splendid portrait of Mrs. Kent c. Robinson. The artists brush has caught the pleasing charm and feminine beauty of his model in a brilliant manner. From the stand point of a likeess the workmanship is excellent MT. Zeigler's growing power of expression ano flair for beauty has never been more deli cately demonstrated.

SEA SALT YIELDS
IODINE

IS JUDGING by the prevalence of goitre,
there is often a deficiency Of iodine
in our food and drink" writes Prof. j. +.
McClendon, of the University Of Minnesota in
Science. "At present so little is known about
the exact quantities of iodine taken into our
stomachs that We can judge only by the num-
ber of cases of goitre. Omittng the details
of local distribution Of goitre, there Is "ide
goitre belt extending north along the Ap-
palachian mountains to Vermont, thence west
through the Great Lakes region to Montana
and Washington and, turning south. II finally
includes all of the Rocky mountain and Pa
cific States. In fact. the goiterous belt in
cludes the mountainous and glacisted regions.
Since the goitre belt includes large cities
and millions of population 1t seems unlikely
at present that all of it's inhabitants will re-
ceive iodine medication in pure form. Since
the sea contains the bulk of the supply, the
transfer Of iodine from the sea to our food or
drink should be increased. Perhaps the most
attractive method is the inclusion OF sea foods
in our diet, but this is limited.
"Practically all of the iodine OF the earth's
surface is in the sea, which contains about
sixty billion metric tons Of iodine in the form
of inorganic salts
"pr. Turrentine, of the kelp potash plant
at Summerland, Cal, informs me that pow
dered kelp, when added in small amount to
food, cannot be tasted and when added in
larger amount imparts pleasing taste to It,
Since II Is richer in iodine than ordinary sea
food and is relatively abundant, 1t should
he an important source OF iodine in our diet
Since sea water and salt deposits contain
iodine. salt might be made an important
source of iodine in our dietary scheme.

Still Fighting
OMMANDER MACNIDER. in

~ OMMANDER MACNIDER, in
his report to the fourth an
~ nual convention of the Ameri-
can Legion, now being held at New
Orleans, says regarding adjusted
compensation legislation: "We
have only just started to fight"
Even our local contemporary, that
which has been foremost in its op-
position to the bonus and has as
serted that there is no appreciable
demand for such payment among
the soldiers themselves, heads its
account of the annual session with
the frank lines:
"LEGION CON NVENTION
SHOUTS FOR BONUS. AC-
CLAIMS COMMANDER MAC
NIDER'S DECLAR RATION
THAT THE STRUGGLE HAS
ONLY JUST BEGUN"
1t is late in the day of this strug-
gle for simple justice to our soldiers
to bring forth arguments, appeals,
statistics to establish the decent
Righteousness of the claim of our
fighters for fair and generous recog-
milton Of their service.
The Washington Times and the
other Hearst papers have consist
emily and persistently led the fight
for the bonus. We can content
ourselves. at this moment of pause
in the Congressional struggle, with
echoing Commander MacNider's
splendidly patriotic expression of
faith: "The adjusted compensation
legislation is right. We know it is
right, and right always prevails in
America"

each people in the tremendous
world crisis created by the war;
He comes not representing the
Government of France, nor in any
official capacity.
He comes simply man rich in
years and experience, skilled in
statecraft, to give to the American
people and to the world his idea
of what to do.
He has doubtless finished his
public and representative work.
He is now an honored bystander.
Whatever his opinions may be,
America will listen with attention
and respect.
We may not agree with him.
but we shall welcome his criticism
or his appreciation.
The move is good one. 1t is an
appeal by an intelligent observer
to the great Court of Public Opin-
ion. 1t will tend toward clearer
and more mature judgment.
1t would be most helpful if each
nation should send its great men
to interpret itself to the other
nations.
When President Harding has
finished his term, he should tour
the other countries of the world,
and give them his ripe conclusion
concerning the intentions and
ideals of America.
And it would be of great value
to us if the seniors from foreign
councils-from China, from Japan,
from the British dominions, from
Turkey, from Germany and from
Russia-would come and talk to
the Americans face to face.
We shall welcome NJ. Clemcn-
ccau as noble old fighting
Frcnchman, and shall promise him

CrOquet the Game
for Fat Men
is the ideal game for

1ROQUET is the ideal game for
the stout. If you desire to
~ reduce your figure to the slim,
Adonis-like lines of five and
twenty, buy a mallet and play
croquet.
Fat men in the United States
are flocking to the croquet lawns
in search of salvation, and weight
has been reduced in some cases
from 200 to 160 pounds as the out
come of two or three hours cro-
quet daily.
1.-TWO factors make croquet the
ideal pursuit for stout people, +"
said a London medical man.
"There is the length of time
that the game goes on and the at
titude the croquet player has to
adopt in STOPPING over his mallet.
You cannot recommend a fat man
to play lawn tennis. If you did,
his elephantine gambols would be
prematurely cut short by an at
tack Of apoplexy; he must have
something less violent that will last
long time.
"The act of STOPPING over
croquet ball with a mallet means
compression Of the abdominal fat.
1t has the same effect as massage
and costs great deal less.

Don't Kid Yourself

~ NE of the helpful hints on
how to get on, published in
~ The Times, was by T. \. Dor
gan. the clever artist known to the
public as Tad.
He gives us the epigram, LEAD
nails never held house together
and excuses never helped to hold
a reputation intact"
Upon this text he remarks that
"The guy who usually does what
is asked of him is the guy who
floats skyward."
The point in all this is thpt any
real work a man does for which he
gets mopey is usually done for
somebody else, and if he is wise
he will do the work like that
somebody else wants him to do it.
1t is all right to have initiative and
independence, and to express
oneself, but it is still more impor-
tant to give people the kind Of
service that they are paying for.
Swellcd heads. cgotism and OBJ
stinacy have lost their possessors
a good many jobs.

playwright. pulled the best success

PACKAGE GOODS IN DEMAND.

The American idea of foodstuffs in pack
ages-sealed, alright. and bugproof-is
gradually being adopted throughout the
world. A report has been received from r. s.
Smith, of the American legation at Santiago,
Chile, to the effect that packaged goods,
hitherto practically unknown there. are
gradually being demanded. Small store
keepers don't quite relish the packaged goods,

Avx attention to the future ruling

"Teparia." Christianity and civili-
zation reached their end in 1914.

is to arise, coming from Asia, its
name made mp for the first letters
in each of the following: "Turkey,

Mr.. Farnese thinks that after
"Teparia" begins to rule, the

Mr.. Harnesses sad prediction
probably won't come true for

has hardly been born; Christianity.

1t would be rather early for both

that a man might beat his wife
