SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

NNHERE are some forms Of men,
l. tai deficiency, fortunately not
very common, the meaning of
which everybody ought TO under
stand. aIlude to cretinism.
mongolism. idiotism and big
head or hydrocephaly.
Cretinism is commonest in
places deficient in soiliodine.
When the condition is treated
early enough, excellent results are
obtained by giving Thyroid extract.
The appearance is characteristic.
The complexion is like parchment,
the hair dry and scanty ard the
skin redundant, so that there is
puffiness under the eyes. There
is often a squint. and the head is
long. These give an old age APP
pearance to young subjects. The
tongue is broad and thick and is
apt to protrude. The skin of the
body is dry and rough and hernia
at the navel is common. The
hands are short and broad with
square finger-tips. The child is
constipated from earliest infancy.
The cretin has little spontaneous
desire, but is dull and lethargic.
Mongolism is so-called because
the victims acquire an oriental
appearance. The Mongol has oval,
tilted eyes. like a Chinaman. The
skin is smooth and white and the
complexion good. The hair is fine
and abundant. Mongols nearly
always squint and very often suf-
fer from mystagmus. The head
is short and the neck and skull
form one line at the back. The
ringer tips are rounded and there
is a curious incurving of the lit.
tie fingers. Mongols tend to have
congenital heart disease. Their
manner is bright and lively. In
later childhood they acquire a
marked assuring of the tongue.
ldiotism is technically called
microcephaly. because the heads
OF the victims are small or un.
developed. The head should be
about thirteen inches around at
birth, seventeen inches at nine
months, eighteen inches at one
year, and twenty inches at Give
years. When the circumference
falls materially below these mea.
surements there is a correspond
ingly less brain capacity. There
are, therefore. various degrees Of
idiocy. But it is not merely the
smallness of the head that char
acterizes these cases. The shape
of the Uranium is quite charac-
teristic. The base of the skull is
we'll developed, but the forehead
and vault are CONSTRUCTED. Other
wise the child is well-developed.
His manner is apathetic and dull.
The condition is fairly common.
The opposite type. the "big
head" or "hydrocephalics," have
large heads due to the presence
of much fluid within the skull.
This is not common cause of
mental deficiency, for many heads
may be very large without inter-
ference with the normal func-
tioning of the brain. The weight
of the head may hinder move.

large head due to ricketts,. is long
and square. as if shaped by a box,
not globular like the hydroceph.

these big heads may have as

You have his sins and his vir-

NEW YORK; new solution for the worlds divorce problem was brought back to civilization by Geo. Palmer Putnam. publisher and ex- plorer. home from four months in the Arctic wastes of Baffin Land.

GROWERS PLAN MEETING

storage; methods of crop manage
ment including seed selection, seed
bed sanitation, field management,
harvesting and handling; methods of
storage and transportation.
Correspondence and interviews
with growers, buyers, shippers,
State extension agents and special
lists, State Marketing officials, repre-
sentatives of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, bankers
and transportation officials have de-
veloped a widespread interest in the
calling of a conferenceto consider
the problems just enumerated. Pres
ent indications are that the confer
ence at Pocomoke will be the most
widely representative ever called on
the Peninsula in relation to par
ticular crop.
'The program outlined for the
conference will be in the nature OF
an inventory taking discussion OF
the entire sweet potato industry on
the shore. Every effort will be made
to find out the good and bad features
of present practices in production,
storage and distribution with view
to formulating program of sound
practice that can be adapted and
followed throughout the sweet potl-
to producing sections of the PENN
sula.
The conference, according to Dr..
Bomberger, will not assemble with
preconceived notions of what should
be done with reference to the bet
terment of the sweet potato indus
try. The discussions outlined on the
program of the conference are ex-
pected" to develop that. 1t is, how
ever, the hope of those promoting
the conference that growers, scien-
fists, marketing officials, bankers
and transportation officials will be
able to reach definite conclusions,
and make specific recommendations
such as will merit the endorsement
of those interested in the produc-
ton and marketing of this import
ant crop.
The program as outlined at pres
ent will include discussion Of:
1. Varieties adapted to quality
and quantity production; to stand
ardization of grades and packages,
and to storage.
2. Crop management, including
seed selection, seed bed sanitation,
fertilizer, field management, harvest
ing and handling.
8. Storage and Transportation, in
cluding types of houses, house man
agement, shipping and marketing.
