Of iodin.
The natural iodin ration is obtained
from various foods, particularly sea
fish and shell fish, and to limited
extent from vegetables and fruits
although fruits and vegetables grown
far inland arc likely to be deficient
in iodin, because the soil OF inland
and elevated regions is iodin poor.
People living far from the sea are
likely to get little sea food. If fresh
sea fish or shell fish were available
two or three days in each week the
use OF these foods in the routine
dietary would probably remedy tho
iodin shortage.

per Care of Kitchen Ute

BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The home care of kitchen utensils
begins in many instances before the
articles have been used. If they get

1t is advis able, for instance, to
temper. metal cooking utensils before
doing any actual cooking in them.
This Is done by washing the article
and then filling 1T with cold water.

tie, wipe dry and 1t is ready to use.
When iron was the usual metal from
which Kitchen pots and kettles were
made, such tempering was practically
a necessity. 1T strengthens the re-
sistance of the iron to varying tenn

Iodin Ration.

It is pretty well recognized now
that every person requires a certain
amount Of iodin, and if there is a
shortage in the iodin ration some
disturbance of health Is certain to
occur. The chief result OF iodin short
age Is perhaps simple gciter. In many
parts OF North America, notably the
region around the Great Lakes, golfer
is exceedingly prevalent, from one
fifth to one-half OF all the school
children showing more or less en-
largement OF the thyroid gland. It is
now fairly well established that this
IS attributable to an iodin shortage,
and there is ample experience TO
prove that the trouble may be pre-
vented by supplying to every child an
adequate iodin ration.
Numerous ways and means of sup
plying the necessary iodin have been
tried out In different communities in
the. Roiter districts. The city of Roch-
ester, y. Y, placed an infinitesimal
quantity of iodin lin the form OF an
fodid) in the municipal water supply.
thus insuring "A moderate iodin ration
for every person who drinks the
water. but since so much water Is
used for other purposes than drink
ing. this seems wasteful Aside from
the cost, however. this means OF fur
nisiring a suitable iodin ration is
ideal and Dr. Goler, the famous health
guardian of Rochester, is entitled &c
great credit for .conceiving and put
ting the plan into practical use.
In some cities in Ohio the schoo
children were given minute dose oi

school year, which proved effective II

away. Resides, they could tunnel
about through the snow. Paddy the
Beaver and Mrs. Beaver and Jerry
Muskrat didn't even know there was
a great storm. You see, they came and
went as they pleased from their
houses, swimming under the ice. They
also had plenty of food.
Johnny Chuck, Buster Bear, Bobby
Coon and Nimble Heels the jumping
Mouse knew nothing OF that storm,
They were asleep. Storms meant moth
ing to them. Rough Brother North
Wind might howl as he pleased for all
they cared
But there were others who did mind
that great storm. Peter Rabbit and
Mrs. Peter did. The dear Old Rriar
Patch was buried in snow. They were
quite comfortable in an old hole In
the middle of the dear Old Briar Patch.
That Is. they were comfortable, but
for one thing, they were hungry. Their
stomaphs grew emptier and emptier.
Several times they tried to get out to
hunt for something to eat. but the
storm drove them back.
Reddy and Mrs. Fox and Old Man
Coyote were no better off Neither
was Shadow the Weasel. Neither was
Hooty the Great Horned Owl, nor his
cousin Whitley the Snowy OWL nor
Terror the Goshawk. nor Bob White
and his family. nor Mr.. and Mrs
Grouse, nor Tommy Tit the Chicka-
dee, nor Drummer the Woodpscker,
nor Blacky the Grow, nor Sammy Jay.
They hadn't minded the great storm
at first. But as IL continued as IL II
never would end and their stomschs q
suffer. Some of them began to grow
weak with hunger. The feathered folk
knew that II they could get up to
Farmer Browns house Farmer Browns
Boy would have food spread for them.
But they couldn't get up there. They
couldn't go out In that dreadful storm.
So most Of the little people were
prisoners in their homes or shelters,
and only the thrifty ones were free
from suffering, the thrifty ones and
the sleepers.

LIGHTED GASOLINE, HER
CLOTHES CAUGHT, UNHURT

Great coolness was exhibited by
Mrs. Joe Smith yesterday afternoon
when, upon lighting her gasoline
stove, her clothing blazed up around
her. Though the flames Immediately
spread to the walls, she had the
presence of mind to cross the room
for quilt with which she smothered
them. She received deep burns on
her left foot and left hand, and her
hair was singed. Her cries brought
help from down stairs. Miss Annie
Dory ran across lie street to the Ber-
nard Benner house, where she sent in
the alarm, and her mother organized
a bucket brigade so effectively that
there was nothing left for the fire
men to do when they rushed to the
scene.
Mrs. Smith had just filled the tank
of her stove and some of the gaso-
line must have dripped upon her shoe,
as it famed up when she struck a
match to light a burner. One corner
Of the room was scorched and ceiling
and walls badly smoked.
Mrs. Smith is an artist, the wife of
Joe Smith of the Elks orchestra.

JUDGE POLEE WOULD LIKE TO
FIND HIS WANDERING STOCK

Judge Polee, federal judge for his
tribe at Tuba was in Monday and adj
vises us that careless cousin lost a
mule and a yellow horse of his out
south of town about three months ago
they have been scarce ever since. Both
had the Oraibi brand on them-hat
with double circle underneath. The
mule had a halter on when turned
loose, but you never can tell about a
mule-he may have sold the halter
to help make his get-away, but he had
bobbed hair on the name, as did the
yellow horse. However, this should
not be taken seriously since both may
have det it grow out like the Elks are
doing to disguise themselves. Their
names were not given.
Judge Police is a full-blood Hopi and
says he will be here to help the rest
of the old-timers celebrate on July 4.
If any one runs across this illsorted
pair of runaway animals, The Sun
would appreciate your leaving word
at this office as we hope to get in
contact with Judge Polee on the 4th.
P. S.-Judge Polee on Tuesday
found his mule and horse, which
shows that it pays to appeal to a
newspaper for help-a always gladly
given to these good reservation peo-
pie.

DARWIN'S THEORY UPHELD
BY SPEAKER AT ROTARY

Rotarians on Tuesday heard an
able talk on the controversy between
evolutionists and non-evolutionists
now raging in Tennessee and some
other states, the speaker being DR.. I.
w. Howerth of State Teachers col
lege, Greeley, Colo, who is lecturing
this week at Flagstaff State Teachers
college.
DR.. Howerth's arraignment of those
who disagree with the theory of evo-
luton and seek to prevent their be-
ing taught in our schools was at times
satirical.
President f. A. Cotton of Teachers
college was chairman for the day and
assumed the gavel as soon as DR..
Mart Fronske, president, had called
to order and expressed pleasure at be-
ing home from Cleveland, where he
attended the International Rotary con-
vention, an account of which he prom
ised to givegat an early date.
Miss Mildred Whetsel and Miss
Mary Shumaker of Teachers college
and Rotaryann Elsa Myers furnished
the music, Miss Whetsel a piano solo,
Miss Shumaker a song and then an
encore, and Miss Myers playing for
the Rotary singing. Needless to re-
mark on the goodness of the music
when these good musicians furnish
ed it.
Roger Birdseye, Flagstaff CONNER
cial secretary, announced the banquet
to be given to the visiting congress
sional appropriations committee.
The dinner was held at the Woman s
clubhouse, the hostesses being ladies
of the Catholic society and the en-
chiladas being very good indeed.

RAINS HAVE DONE MUCH
GOOD, BUT ARE SPOTTY

Rains and cloudbursts have been
doing a hit and miss game over the
state the past week, but no big gem
eral rain has swept over the country
as yet. At Sunshine, east of Flag
staff one day last week, cloudburst
covered the Santa Fe tracks with
water for a distance of three miles
but did not delay trains.
At Prescott there was Is Of an inch
rainfall, which it is claimed breaks
all records there for the month of
June during the past 25 years.
Ashfork and vicinity were dampened
down by a good rain, while few
days previous a eloudburst knocked
out lot of the Santa Fe right-of
and delayed traffic for several hours.
There was a heavy rain storm east
of Cliffs but Flagstaff only got a
side-swipe, though local showers have
occurred here almost daily.
Tle Mormon lake country has had
several good downpours.
Summer rains here will not mater
tally help the local water situation
since there has been no run off, water
being absorbed SO rapidly by the dry
earth. Rains have so far only hin
dered building operations on the new
water system.

yer came as surprise to the many
friends of the family here and in
Phoenix. Mrs. Meighan, whose fam
lily came here five years ago, grad
uated with the Christmas class of
1917 from the Normal and has
taught since then, the last three years

her family have many friends who
will wish the young couple every hap

FLAGSTAFF BOOTED
SUNDAYS BASEBALL
GAME TO COPPERITES

Loose defensive play, inability to
clout the pill and poor judgment, ac-
counted for Jerome's victory over the
local baseball nine last Sunday at
jerome
Lefty Keough, who was secured
several weeks ago from Kingman,
started on the mound and was going
good until the third inning when
Flagstaff's defense went to pieces and
Jerome piled in 10 tallies after
Keough had chance to retire the
side.
Lefty became discouraged and
asked to be taken out. Mccormick
replaced him and weathered the storm
in fair shape though he was hit freely.
Flagstaff got going good toward
the last of the game and exhibited
"a fine brand of bail.
"Hoddy" Stevens, well-known local
college boy who starred on last years
football squad, joined the team at
Jerome. Stevens covers the hot COR
ner like veteran but is a little weak
on the stick.
Manager Jake Bracker has re-
placed Bert Cummings as field captain
with ANDY Gump" Smith, who cap
tanned last years Phoenix team.

DR.. Mackey, who has given lot of
time and attention to the work and
under whose administration many
good things have been accomplished
and others begun, was elected six
months ago to serve for year; but
he felt that he could no longer, in
justice to his dental practice, devote
SO much of his time to the work Of
the organization, and asked that he
be relieved.
His successor, Mr.. Cameron, is a
good choice. Always keenly interest,"
ed in all that has to do with the well
fare and progress of the community,
and a hard and unselfish worker of
ability oft demonstrated, the organi-
cation under his leadership will ac-
complish much more of lasting bene-

WE'RE BOARDING HIM

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Haskell, they
say they are, and that they are from
Chicago. They were hiking to the Pa
cific. Now Mr.. Haskell is serving 60
days in our county Jail and his wife is
free under a suspended sentence. Each
pleaded guilty Wednesday morning
before Justice OF the Peace Tom Pull
liam of stealing a sweater from Mrs.
Neale, proprietor of the Bank room
ing house. Mrs. Neale, out riding
the morning they left, spotted the
sweater on the woman, demanded its
return, was refused, then swore out a
warrant and City Marshal Justin r.
Cooper caught the couple near Maine.
They were indignantly hard-boiled
and, oh, very innocent, at first. Then
each pleaded guilty and claimed that
the other had nothing to do with it.
