Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of tho American
 Modical Association and Of Hy-
 geta, the Health Magazine
 Sinca the World War numerous investigations have been made in various places in the United States to determine the presence of goiter among people in the communities concerned.
 The United States Public Health Service has made extensive g, iter surveys in Minnesota, Oregon, Col orado. Montana. Connecticut, Mas sachusetts and in Cincinnati, Ohio.
 These surveys include 55.179 boys and 70.307 girls in 192 localities. Tho reports indicate that goiter is moro frequent in Minnesota and less frequent in Connecticut and Massachusetts, the other states occupying intermediate positions.
 There is q greater tendency among girls than among boys. nd small golfers developing when the children arc young tend to last longer in girls than in boys.
 Physicians know that the exten- sive development of goiter in the groups mentioned is due to a lccx of iodine in the food supply ard in the water of the regions concerned. The least number of goiter cases appear in regions near to the sea coast: the greatest number in the region of the Great Lakes.
 Modern preventive medicine pre- vents such golfers by giving to the children regularly at the time of their growth small dosage of io- dine. In some states the matter has been controlled through the ad- ministration of iodine under the direction of school authorities or of health departments.
 Tn most communities the family physician Is fully informed and is able to prescribe the proper form of iodine and the proper dosage on request.

 stared at her with slowly dawn ing comprehension.
 You mean"
 T mean that the young woman is not accustomed to being crossed In her whims, and that Phil in some way made it pretty plain to her that he did not wish her to sit for those sketches. Probably outlined his rule of not having any publicity for his stars. But she's crazy to pose for Dicky, and once having found out from you that Harding's books in all proba bility would never reach Europe, she determined to take the chance while Phil is gone to the city. Not knowing our adamant Phil, she figures that by the time the book is published and he finds it out, he will have forgotten all about his prohibition. But I'll lay you five to one, first that she'll hurry up those sketches 50 they'll be all over before Phil gets back, and second that you'll hear twitter from the Dicky-bird upon the sub ject of keeping your knowledge of the sketching to yourself"
 '1ll not take you. even at those odds" I told her smiling. Your logic Is altogether too convincing"
 'Piker." she threw at me, and then rose, stretching her arms high above her head.
 I'm going to call it day." she said. Good night"
 Good night" returned and curled down in the couch hammock, my refuge when I am tired and troubled. And never, it seemed to me. remembering my quarrel with Dicky and the odd-possibly men, acing mystery which invested our neighbors both at The Larches and in the shack, did I need more the healing of the balmy air and the fragrance of growing things which were all around me.

 He recently told of his methods In keeping fine fabrics looking new during the hard wear of making . picture.
 Everything from silk to cheese cloth is worn 1t some time or other in our pictures" he said. Repeated experiments have been made to keep these vast wardrobes in perfect con- dition. Nothing is 70 effective q Lux. l have ordered our wardrobe departments to use Lux to cleanse fine materials because it actually pro- long their life"
 Evesy other great motion picture studio in Hollywood also uses Lux to get double wear from fabrics sheer ones and sturdief ones, too. They buy 1t in the familiar blue packages found in millions of homes all over the country, used by millions of women in cleansing their own fine thing, to set extra wear.

Reddy Fox was anxious to know Low often and just when Jerry Mpskrat visited the sprins-h in the swamp where tho Laughing Brook leaves tho Green Forest to enter the Smiling Pool. But Reddy didn't want to be seen over there. He didn't want Jerry to become suspicious. He knew that if Jerry suspected him of hanging around that open sprinE-hole Jerry would at once change his ways. He would not knowingly take a chance of be- ing caught.
 ''I'il ae a little gossiping," thought Reddy. "One can find out almost anything through gossip. Yes sir, !. gossip is usually a telltale without knowing 1t. Now I wonder who there is that is likely to be around that spring-hole more or less. Of course. Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow probably could tell me just what I want to know But neither would knowingly. Those fellows al- ways delight in making trouble for me instead of in helping me. I guess I'll have to get it out of one Of them without his knowing wha, I'm after"
 Now. Reddy long ago learned that the surest way of attracting atten- ton Is to do something unusual. Arouse curiosity and you will have all the attention you desire. So it was that when Reddy heard the rather harsh voice of Sammy Jay not far away Reddy got in an open place and began to chase his tail. Around and around he spun, chas- ing his tail. It wasn't any time at all before Sammy Jay was sitting in . tree right above Reddy. so in- terested that he actually had for gotten to scream. Presently Reddy stopped for breath.
 What under the sun are you do- ing. Reddy Fox?" demanded Sam my Jay.
 Reddy looked up and grinned. Getting a little exercise" said he. I md that exercise is the best thing In the world for digestion"
 Huh" exclaimed Sammy. I should think you would get all the exercise you need in just running around"
 T do get a lot of exercise that way replied Reddy. but there are times when l have to lie still SO long that I need some lively exer- else. and so I get it by chasing my tail. It is rather fun. you know"
 NO. don't know" replied Sam my. T have never chased my tail"
 Reddy chuckled good naturedlv.
 That would be q rather difficult thing to do. Brother Jay" said h,
 What . lot of different tails there are in the world. Now your tail is of feathers, my tail Is big and bushy, the tail of Jerry Muskrat I, hattened on the sides and rubbery, By the way. I wonder how Jerry Is getting on this winter. I haven, seen him since the ice came. :, should think it would be terrible 10 be frozen in all winter long. I should think he would want to ge. out and get a breath of fresh air once in a while"
 "ol,' said Sammy. you needn't worry about Jerry. He gets all the fresh air he needs. Why, I see him every day.
 Quit your foolins. Brother Jay. Quit your fooline." said Reddy. You can't see down through the lee when 1t is covered with snow. 9

ly after o'clock this morning.
After sunset today the weather will
be a little colder, probably dropping a
degree or so below freezing, but the
Weather Bureau gave assurance this
morning that the cold snap is definite
ly over. Tomorrow the temperature

pected to stay at comfortable mark

More cold weather IS on tap for

cold it will be at that time.
The freakish snoWstorm which
blanketed protected spots yesterday will
not be repeated this week, the Wealth
er Bureau announced. No discomfort
as a result of the cold was reported
in Washington yesterday except for
that experienced by motorists who fall
ed to heed advance warning and were
confronted with their first frozen ra-
diators of the year.
The warmer weather will be accom-
panied by moderation of the brisk
north and northwest winds which were
responsible for bring the cold down
