QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Iodine to Prevent Goiter.
Please print the directions for taxi
ing iodine to prevent and cure
goiter.-Mrs. H. P. NJ.
Answer-A deficiency Of iodine in
the food in regions far from the sea
or at considerable altitude probably
accounts for the frequency of simple
goiter among children, particularly
girls. This deficiency may be sup
piled by administering each spring
and autumn, as has been done in some
OF the public schools in cities of the
great lakes region, a course of iodine
in some form, 1t doesn't matter par
ticularly what form of iodine. save
that very small quantities are neces-
sary.
One or two drops of tincture of
iodine may be given each day. in a
glass Of water, for a period Of six
i weeks in the spring and again for q
period Of six weeks in the fan.
Or two or three grains of sodium
iodide may be given daily. dissolved
In not less than a quart Of the drink
ing water, for a period Of q month
each spring and autumn.

Inc 0OmeBtlC science class Oh tne
Columbia Junior High School is COM
mendably active in its work to help
the Red Cross This is a wide field
in which the assistance of such
classes can be of practical value. The
domestic science classes of all the
high schools could well consider fol
lowing in the footsteps of this one
in this regard, as the need for cloth
ing, even renovated clothing, is very
urgent among the girls and boys OF
the stricken countries of Europe and
the near east.
Miss Dorothea Campbell, director
Of the division of exchange of school
correspondence between the students
In schools in this country and in the
other countries of the world. says
that many of the letters which pass
through her hands from girls in Gen.
trail Europe show a great need for
good clothing.
OF course. everybody knows the
women who sent flannel underwear
to the heather in the South Sea Is
lands. and IL Is astonishing to learn
that some>of our best meaning flap
pers have actually considered send
ing old party dresses to the relief
committees for the girls of these
made by the domestic science class
of the local Junior High School is
particularly noteworthy. as it shows
that these girls realize and apprc-
ciate the fitness OF things in general
even more than some of their well
tntentioned but thoughtless elders do
Advantages in Renovation.
incidentally there Is a great prac-
tical advantage in the renovating OF
their old dresses and other clothing
so as to make it acceptable and use
full for the less fortunate girls
abroad. The girls who do this reno
waiting learn lessons of economy that
may prove of excellent value to them
personally in case of future need
work which they may take up in
their community later as grown
women really valuable.
The charm of domestic science
classes has previously been pri! tarily

The girls at the Junior High SthoOl
are. therefore, having a novel sen
sation in the making of these things
for the Red Cross.
1t is not difficult to imagine the
character of the letters which will
be received in acknowledgment OF
these gifts when one has seen sc
many from little CzechosloTakian
Austrian. Polish and other girls who
went into eulogies over the gifts OF
toothbrushes. hair ribbons and band
