DIR. GEO. ]. MoHR ON GoITRE

Thousands of children in the state
will not have goitre if they receive
the small but necessary amount 81
iodine salt which will prevent this
disease, according to DR.. George j
Mohr, director of the child hygiene
division of the state department OF
health.
More than one-quarter of the child.
rem of the state give evidence of a
change in the thyroid gland at the
age of six years, according to num-
erous Investigations which have been
carried on in the past few years, and
between 35 and 40 per cent of school
children are thus affected.
This Enlargement of the thyroid
gland has been shown to be due to
the lack of iodine salt in the food
and water taken by the affected per-
son. Only very small amounts Of
iodine are necessary to prevent goi-
tire. 1t has been found that a suffi-
cient quantity may be taken in a
small chocolate-covered tablet given
once weekly turnout the school year
to prevent the disease.
iodine salt is preventive and should
not be used for those already affect
ed with goitre except on advice Of
their physician. It should not be in
discriminatory used for treatment Ct
the disease, which once contracted re.
quires very careful medical attention.
Children in school who show no thy
roid enlargement or just beginning
enlargement, should be provided with
this simple preventive measure. The
state department of health will be
glad to furnish information and aid
to interested groups or individuals
who wish to protect children against
goitre.

WEATHER AND CROP. CONDI.
TIONS IN WASHINGTON

/ The weather of the week was alb
normally warm in the eastern por-
ton of the state, the average daily
excess in temperature being about 6
degrees. Sunshine was almost con-
tinuous in that section, but there was
some cloudiness to the westward of
the Cascades and the excess Of tenn
perature there did not average more
than three degrees. Except for light
showers along the coast and in the
Puget Sound region on two Or three
days, the week was practically rain
less, and the rains that did occur
were not sufficient in quantity to pen
citrate to the roots of vegetation, ex-
cept along the immediate coast. They
served to dampen the surface, how
ever, and to reduce the fire hazard
somewhat Dry lightning occurred on
one or two days on The eastern slopes
Of the Cascades and in the Okanogans
and started numerous small forest
fires.
Rain is needed turnout the state,
and especially in the eastern portion,
where pastures and ranges are be-
coming very dry. Corn, potatoes,
beets and other vegetables are being
retarded in growth, and late small
grains are heading short and not
properly filed.
The hot weather has been particu-
larly injuries to late wheat. Reports
of serious damage are more numer-
Gus than last week and include inn.
pairment of the quality to consid-
cradle extent, the grain being UNDER
weight. Harvesting has progressed in
southern counties and is advancing
northward. A little wheat has been
threshed and has been disappoint-
ment as to yield and quality, owing
to the effect of hot and dry weather.
Apple prospects are generally ex-
cellent, but there are reports of an
undue dropping of commercial prunes
in the Walla Walla and Clarke coun-
ty districts, and the estimated yield
of this fruit is being reduced. Toma-
to shipments are in progress in the
southeast, and lettuce is going out Of
the Puget Sound district in large
quantities.

FIGHT FOR NEW ROADS

The fight to add new mileage to the
state highway system will be renewed
at the special session of the legisla-
ture next fall, according to informa-
ton received at the state capital. AT
least half dozen projects are to be
urged for special appropriations and
there are intimations that efforts
will be made to tie up the friends
of the new roads in a solid compact
to force thru appropriations. Not
much attention is being paid to this
threat tho, for the proposed roads
affect so few legislative votes that
they would not make very large
sized block.

Liquor Charges.

The cases against four men, Anton
Bugni, Frank Alvey, Chas. Staley
and Angelo Columbo, who were ar
rested in raids made by Sheriff
Erspamer on alleged roadhouses near
Pine Lake a few weeks ago and
charged with being keepers of houses
of illfame, were dismissed in
municipal court Thursday forenoon
after the sheriff had withdrawn the
complaint against the defendants,
thus taking the cases out of the
jurisdiction of Judge Flandrena.
Following the opening of the
cases District Attorney Foster moved
that they be dismissed on the grounds
that there was no evidence to hold
the defendants on the charges made
against them. The Judge denied
the request and ordered the trial of
the cases to proceed After a
consultation with the district at
torney and residents of the Town of
0ma present in court Sheriff
Erspamer announced that he would
withdraw the complaint made
against the defendants, providing
that the places in question were
ordered closed.
Later Frank Alvey and Angelo
Columbo were arraigned on charges
of violation of the liquor law. They
pleaded guilty to having liquor in
their places at the time of the raid
and Were each fined $200 and costs.
A charge of vagrancy was made
against four of the defendants
charged with being inmates
of houses of illfame and they were
to leave the county.

Restoration Camp
For Veterans
Camp Minne-Wawa on Big Carr and
Tomahawk Lakes Purchased by
Wisconsin American Legion.

Milwaukee-With the purchase of
Camp Minne-Wawa and its trans
formation into rehabilitation center
for disabled veterans by the Wis
consin American Legion, the scene
of many a maiden's adventures will
become an outing place for former
warriors. Where once Eleanora
chased butterflies and picnicked the
disabled veteran will chase health
and fight the war over again.
State officials of the Legion have
completed negotiations for camp
Mime awa, according to an an
nouncement here. The camp will be
used as restoration camp for
disabled veterans and as vacation
shop for members of the organiza-
ton. 1t was formerly owned by
M A. Ebert, Rhinelander, and used
as an exclusive girls recreation
center.
The camp, located on Big Carr
and Tomahawk lakes, is fully
equipped with modern cottages and
a large main building with a seating
capacity of 300. All modern i'm
provements are installed and the
camp is ready to open at any time,
according to reports here APP
proximately 20 buildings are ready
for occupancy and more will be
built as needed.
Legion officials say that the pur-
chase of the camp is the first step
in the greatest rehabilitation pro-
gram yet planned by the Wisconsin
department of the organization. 1t
will be used as rest camp for men
discharged from government hospit-
ais as cured. Billets in the camp
will be assigned to veterans for
periods of one to four months. In
special cases a man will be granted
permission to stay for year. A
veteran will be allowed to take his
family with him for the period of his
stay. No charge will be made in
any case.
Beyond the necessary work for
sanitation and order, no supervision
will be exercised over the veterans
Each man will spend his time as he
plea es Everything possible will be
done to make the camp a real place
of rest, it was announced by Legion
officials.
Legion officials also announced
that George F. Merkel, Appleton, a
veteran of the Spanish-American
and World Wars, had been appointed
as caretaker of the new camp. Mr..
Merkel is now the health officer at
Appleton and is rated as an expert
on camp sanitation and maintenance.
His duties will begin on April l..
The Camp is expected to be open to
veterans by June l.
