FOOD AND HEALTH

Iodin, as many of us know. il one

none the less important because Of

essary in the prevention and treat

however. been some confusion as to

anCe more frequently in those regions
where the whole grain foods were de
j ficient in iodin. There have been
| careful studies of localities where goi

! these have seemed to point to the con
F.! clusion that the amount Of iodin in
the food bears the direct relation to
| the amount of iodin in the soil from
which they grow. These same studies
, also point to the probable conclusion
that the quantity of iodn in the water
of such region is also very important
and has an equally direct bearing on
the prevalence of the disease Among
these studies we find that of Prof. Nc

HOW 1T STARTED
Charity Begins at Home.
By JEAN NEWTON.

1t has been said that few families
are so exalted, so rich, SO powerful,
that there cannot be found a relative
or a connection lower on the ladder
and in need of assistance or protec-
ton. And with reference to people
who profess TO be philanthropic, con-
tributinc to various public charities.
yet neglecting those closer to them
who are in need of help. we have
often heard the saying Charity be-
gins at home.
The same expression was used the
other day by a woman who was asked
for a contribution for a certain cause,
although she was known to share all
her resources with needy and unfortu.
nate members Of her own family. De.
Ginning she turned to q close friend
who was with her and said, Charity
begins at home"
In use for centuries in popular
speech the origin of the phrase is
traced back to line in the Bible of
which it is a misquotation. That is
the well known admonition:
Let them first show piety at home. =

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

a dog. 1t surely is. The dog is a
member Of the family. He has to get
the same care as any helpless, grow
ing thing about the place. He has
a body and feelings and he thinks.
If we allow ourselves the luxury OF
having him we must in decency pay
the price Of his keep.
The doghouse ought to be the care
of the boy of the house. He can
build it and keep it clean and groom
the dog. 1t is usually he who lays
claim to the animal and it is right
he should shoulder the responsibility
of his welfare.
With the house there must go his
bedding and his dishes and his food.
The boy ought to prepare this food
and keep the dishes clean, but If
there is a girl about who enjoys the
dog she ought to share some Of his
housekeeping. This won't do either
of them a bit Of harm, but 1t will
do them good to learn about the
health of their friend and to feel his
dependence upon them.
1t Is too bad to chain a dog. II
he cannot run free about the place,
why have him? A dog is made to
run and hunt and dig and toss things
up considerably. To tie a creature
like that is cruel. What good is a
playmate who is prisoner? Who
wants to he a jailer? Not the chill
dren who keep house for him. Put
the dogs house in order and many
other little things will fall rhyth.
mically into place. 1t is surprising
what an influence good dog house
keeping has on a family.

Mr. Patri will give personal attention to
inquiries from parents or school teachers on
the care and development of children.

Oysters.

Oysters are always popular as a
supper dish and they are especially
delicious If you serve them in the
following fashion: Put one can Of
large oysters in the blazer of a
chatting dish and sprinkle with salt
and finely chopped green pepper.
Cover and cook until oysters are
plump. Serve on hot toast and
spread with lemon butter made by
Dreaming three tablespoonfuls Of but
ter with one tablespoonful Of lemon
Juice. Canned pepper. or chile. as it is
sometimes called. is convenience in

peppers would not cook thoroughly

to heat the oysters. Canned clans
