A COMMON CONDITION

A survey in Escanaba schools dis
closes the fact that an alarming per-
centage OF the students have enlarg-
ed thyroid glands, or goitre. This re-
port has somewhat stunned Escanaba
but it is not surprising to residents
of other upper peninsula cities,
where health and school authorities
have conducted tests during the last
two years and have found that the
condition prevailing in Escanaba is
common in this district. 1t is we'll
known that the upper peninsula is in
a goitre belt, because of deficiency
of iodine in the water and SOIL There
is consolation, however, in the know
ledge that in a great majority OF
cases the enlarged gland condition
can be improved and. in many in
stances entirely corrected, by mild
internal doses Of iodine salts. The
treatment is simple and results have
been most encouraging wherever il
has been undertaken. 1t is nothing
more than giving to the affected per
son the iodine which he should be
getting in his daily rations of food
and water, but which, in this district
he does not get.
The Marquette health department
has made interesting and decidedly
successful experiments in iodine treat
ment for enlarged thyroids. About
two years ago, when physical exami-
nations of young women students in
the Northern State Normal school
per cent had goitre, a series of iodine
treatments was started and the re-
suits carefully noted. Two groups of
girls, 100 in each, were selected and
measurements of their thyroid glands
recorded The thyroid in each girl
was more or less enlarged. Over a
period of several months the iodine
treatment was given to one group
of girls and not to the other. AT the
end of the treatment period, each
girls thyroid was again measured. 1t
was learned that the treatment had
been effective in a large majority of
cases. In most cases the enlarged thy
roid had been reduced Some in
which the gland was only slightly Ell
larged we're normal. In no case had
the gland become larger during the
course of treatmentt1 Measurements
of thyroid glands in the 100 girls not
treated showed that the glands had
increased in size in majority of
cases.
The results of these experimnts in
dictate, that it might be well for the
health and school officials in every
upper peninsula community to give
the iodine treatment serious consider
alton. Adults who have goitre should
look into this on their own account
and parents of children should waste
no time in learning whether their
daughters few males have goitre) |
are affected The condition is much |
easier to correct, il treated when a
person is young and before the thy
roid gland is greatly enlarged. Con-
sultation with family physicians
should be the first step for the indiv
idual For the community lot can
be done through the schools in Co
operation with the health officer. 1t
is largely matter OF informing the
public of what can be done.

A romance of youth begun fifty
years ago, followed by half century
Of home and community building with
vast plans still underway and await
ing development and enjoyment
this is the synopsis of beautiful
story actually liyed-the romance of
the Honorable Mr. and Mrs. A. H.
STANCE, who will celebrate their gol-
den wedding anniversary Friday, Feb.
Is, at the A. H. STANCE residence, Ell
lis Court
Over the cradle of Mr.. STANCES in
fancy, near Stettin, Germany, was a
vision of America with its boundless
opportunity. The parents sought to
come to this land of freedom and
when August H. STANCE was but three
years old, the journey was undertake
en-. The boat on which the family sail
ed encountered severe storms. 1t rock
ed on the perilous seas and was fore
ed back upon it's path for many
league. The storms relented, the
boat continued its journey. and the
family set foot upon the soil of Amer
lea, locating at WATERFOWL, Wis.
A Rigorous Royhood
Like the sea journey which brought
August Fl. STANCE to America, his
boyhood was likewise beset with mis-
fortune. Illness of his father forced
him to leave school at an early age in
order that he might contribute his
earnings toward the maintenance of
ters. OF the many privations suffer
ed, none did he feel so keenly as the
forfeit of his school days, but he
early determined to make up for his
loss by evening study. Through his
own personal effort, he founded a
night school, securing an instructor
dents to insure the continuance of
this educational training for six con-
secutive terms.
Early in life, Mr.. STANCE had shown
an aptness for woodworking and his
first employment was with Christian
Myer. His first years salary was 500
his second, $3.50. Boundless faith
characterized August H. STANCE even
at this early period in life and with
an unyielding ambition, at the end
Of five years he found himself advanc
ed from humble beginning to the.
highest paid artisan in the Myer sash
and door plant at Watertown.
A loving mother and stern father
had taught their son to be endurant.
An invisible hand semmed to guide
his destiny and increased the young
mans zeal for more and more thor
ough preparation in his chosen field.
He erstwhile learned the lesson of alb
solute responsibility. Not only did he
work without thought of hours. but
his every promise was made good
and had he erred in this respect at
any time, he would have striven to
make amends at once. Don't waltz
was his axiom.
With little pocket money and his
railroad fare he went to Racine,
where he advanced further on the
ladder of success, first with Miner &
McClurg, later with the late Fl. W.
Wright. BY the latter he was solicit
ed to come to Merrill where he was
made superintendent Of the McCord
e Wright saw mill and sash and
door plant. eventually becoming a
member of the firm.

things advanced and the years passed

SCIENCES of the past Each garden path
each shaded spot, each. vista, recall
ed the memory of the golden days of
their children's childhood.
A Community interest
But however much their private
life and home meant to these home
loving parents. their thoughts went
out in kindly act and turn for their
fellowman. Mrs. STANCE active in Mer
rill Benevolent Association, for a
time it's president, and Mr.. STANCE
likewise giving freely of his time to
the community, for term of years as
alderman of his ward and for term
of years as the city's mayor. Almost
silently and always quietly, their
gifts to worthy causes were made.
Everywhere the touch of this nurtur-
ing solicitude found itself deeply felt
The joy of giving has been mutual
one During the world war Mrs.
STANCE found great deal of happi-
ness in not only contributing sweat
ers she purchased but many were
those her own Limble fingers knit.
!. And while their enthusiastic en-
enlargement of worthy human endeav
or has reached far and wide, the
thoughts of Mr. and Mrs. STANCE
have ever gravitated to their home
community, Merrill Their love of adj
venture prompted them to spend the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their we'd
ding in romatic Mexico, and again in
1910 to journey completely around the
world, tarrying in turn in Hawaii, Jap
an, China, the Philippines, India, Pal
estine, Egypt, the Mediterranean
shores, Continental Europe and the
United Kingdom. Yet, on the dramat-
ic day of July q, 1923, when business
men of LaGrande, Ore, at the most
elaborate reception ever accorded a
distinguished visitor there, the kindly
invitation extended Mr.. and Mrs.
A. III. STANCE to make that city their
future home received no acceptance.
La Grande will be the home of Au-
gust J. STANCE, the son, and one OF
the most promising of the STANCE
manufacturing institutions, but the
father has clearly indicated that here
in Merrill, he and Mrs. A. H. STANCE
will spend the golden sunset of their
life.
Here it was, that little garden,
bordered by winding Prairie river,
evolved into realm of picturesque
JOY. They added to it. Yonder acres
in the form of a peninsula, by labori-
GUS effort, became park. Further
on still, were more acres, partly
marsh. Dreams revealed it as park
and playground, and time has made
the dreams come true. There, nestled
amid tree, shrub, and the velvet sod
are public library, church and school.
A theater and hotel worthy of many
a larger city and operated without a
thought of gain are among their con-
tributions to the community. Another
more recent, is the Soldiers Memoir
ial Park with its symbolic cenotaph
dedicated "To Our War Heroes"

still owed, work of love and crown
ing thoroughness.

A Home Made Charming

AS the children grew up, the re-
spect and love they held for their
parents prompted them to aid where
ever possible, and thus Mrs. STANCE
found time to add to the charms OF
home. When her husband purchased
the nucleus of the present STANCE
Lumber company's plant together
with the modest house on South Pros
pect street, as his means permitted,
he remodelled, enlarged, and embel-
lished the homestead.
1t was here that Mrs. STANCE, in.
spired by industrious hum of neigh
boring sawmill, laid out the garden
paths, bordering them with flower
and foliage There were cold frames,
hot beds, and later, floral conservat
ory. Everywhere this garden throb-
bed with expanding, joyous life.
Birds of various species shared the
foliage of tree, the rainbow shades of
iris were tenderly kissed by the morn
ing's dew. Pansies and fOr-get-me-nots
nodded their faces in hooks here and
there. The glorious sunset added to
the flash of oriental poppy. Fra
GRANGE of peony, rose and lily to-
gether with the ozone of the pine
were carried on the breeze. The lark
spur added a silent touch of sapphire
blue All these and many other
charms nurtured by the skillful hand
and esthetic impulse of wife and
mother, furnished a romantic back
ground of exquisite color to family
life Of simplest type.
Here in the garden playground six
boys and girls enjoyed the days of
never-to-be-forgotten Child o d
breathing there the fulsomeness of
the great outdoors. And as growing
