GOITRE PREVENTED
BY IODINE SALT

Estimating that every person uses
an average of seven pounds of salt
year, the new iodine table salt that
has been put on the market upon
recommendation of Michigan health
officials, is said to furnish sufficient
iodine to the thyroid gland to prevent
the development of simple goitre. West
Virginia health officials were the first
following Ohio to spread the knowledge
that simple goitre is due to insufficient
Iodine in the food and water in certain
sections and to take steps to prevent
ITS Development by the use among
school children Of chocolate Iodine
tablets. Until the results from using
Iodine table salt have been measured
the state health officials will continue
to encourage the use of the chocolate
iodine tablets, Iodine table salt for
use on the table and in cooking has
the advantage, they say, of furnishing
Iodine to the entire family, and some
states are considering making laws
TO the effect that all salt sold must
contain iodine. Inasmuch as iodine ia
lacking in nature, the salt is said to
restore this needed element in the most
logical place.

WILL THE FARMERS HOLD-UP
IMPROVEMENTS?

A few farmers along the Valley
district improved roads appear to
have a hoid up" attitude when the
contractors approach them to get the
rocks from their fields and are ask
ing exorbitant prices. This attitude
is wrong and should not be permitted
to exist, for the rock that will be
gathered will be from the farms adj
jacent to the roads and will be a
great benefit to the valuation of the
farms, for when purchaser comes
along and sees farm along a good
improved road, free from rock,
smooth and tillable, he will then and
there set out to purchase the improv-
ed farm as it will be great saving
to have a clean farm
The contractors have no objection
to paying a reasonable price, say
around Is cents per yard for the rock
in the field, but when it comes to
asking almost the price Of a farm for
the rock, that it out Of the question,
and no farmer or land-holder is
good citizen who will harbor such
thoughts as tend to "hold-up' inn
provements such as these good roads.
A few have consented to give their
rock free-this is more like showing
the spirit of good citizenship, and
those kind of men and women will not
be forgotten when it comes to get
ting their just dues.
