why there should be differences in

Nationwide prevalence of this no.

cooperation of the National Confer

sponsored by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover.
AT the recent session of the con

offered to make a national survey OF
municipal traffic signals, signs and
markings with view of presenting
standard code of practice to be rec
commended for general adoption by the
cities of the country, both large and
small.
This offer was unanimously accept
ed, and the council has been prepar-
ing for the work by organizing a small
working committee composed of rep
resentatives of national bodies most
affected by the tangle of traffic regu-
lations.
This committee has prepared very

Iodine Essential
to Perfect Health

If man or. animal cannot get
enough air, water or food, he will
die
This fact is obvious to US because
we require air, water and food IN
large amounts and are conscious of
how and when we take them into our
bodies.
There are other natural elements
just as necessary to life, bit of
which we are not conscious because
they are taken into our bodies in
minute quantities ORIGIN disguised
forms. IS lie
One Of these elements is iodine.
The amount we require is very small,
yet it is absolutely essential to life.
No human being can be born alive or
live without iodine, and none can
maintain normal health without a
sufficient quantity of this valuable
element.
Iodine exists in the body chiefly in
the secretion of the thyroid gland,
which is in the throat. This iodine
bearing secretion Is vitality essen
tal to the growth of brain and body.
The thyroid gland cannot manufac-
turc iodine, but must secure it from
food and water taken into the
stomach.
If the necessary amount OF this
element is not present, the thyroid
gland becomes enlarged and we have

Appeal to the supreme court has

was assigned to the task of moving

when a pile of sacks toppled upon
him and pinned him to the floor. He
was so badly injured that he is un-
able to work, he contends.
The mill and elevator association,

that Bakken had no just cause of
action against it. The appeal is
from the order Of thei lower court

Minnesota Doctor
ROuts Necktie Pest

A Wheaton, Mimi, doctor recently
came in contact with the high pres
sure, mail order necktie specialists
who are flooding the mails with un-
ordered merchandise, and when the
episode was concluded, the doctor
had effectively routed this variety Of
pest, and had uncovered a new way
of meeting this mail abuse.
The story of this episode, which is
worth reprinting, is thus described in
the Wheaton tMinn.) Gazette:
Some months ago." says the Ca
! zette, Wheaton was flooded with
neckties of an inferior grade sup
posed to have come from certain
blind man for which the sum Of one
dollar for three ties was asked. 1t
! Is said that certain doctor got his
name off the Sucker list" by beat
I ing the salesman at his own game
He received the neckties and while
i he figured they were not worth a
dollar he thought they might be
worth keeping so sat down and in
stead of following instructions, sent
the concern prescription with q
letter telling him that it was recon-.
mended for gall He also said the
value of the prescription was two
{ dollars and that he would give the
i sender of the neckties credit for one
! dollar and all that it would be neces-
sary to remit to him would be the
I additional dollar.
Two Dollars Per Call
I'm few days the doctor re-
ceived an acknowledgment of the
prescription In letter stating that
4 1t was being returned and a request
to return the neckties. The docto,
/ sent a letter back and told the neck
/ tie man that it was some distance
\ between the postofficc and his Of
flee and that he charged two dol
Il lars for each call out Of his offic,
50 that if the pccktie man would
send him two dollars he would make
