Health and Right Living
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, NJ. ID.
Former Commissioner Of Health,

1t Is unfortunate that many per-
sons fill their stomachs. satisfy
their hunger and grow fat per-
haps, but still are n~eglecting to
get all the food they really need.
Far too often we act as If quantity
were the only factor to be con-
Sidered.
Let us think about this for a
moment. What would you think
Of the owner of an automobile
who never bought oil for his car
but stopped at the filling station
twice a day to get gasoline? You
know the machine would rebel very
quickly.
Perhaps you demonstrate with
him and. to even things up" he
quits buying gasoline but fills the
OIL tanks two Or three times a
day. Of course, the car won't run
long.
The fact Is that there must be q
proper proportion of oil and gaso-
line. Both are essential to the
continued operation of the car. It
Is necessary, too, to add water to
the batteries. There must be some
OF this, that and the other and
enough of each of the essentials,
II 1t is true Of a mechanical de-
vice that 1t must have the right
quantity Of several foods" it is
plain that the human machine
must have an unfailing supply Of
every single food that each indi-
vidual cell and fibre and organ re-
'qulres. Without such a supply
there will be trouble. Sooner or
later there will be uncomfortable
symptoms.
Perhaps I can Illustrate what I
nave In mind by speaking about
golter. You know what that is
thlck neck" 1t is sometimes call
ed. In the neck, on each side of
the Adams apple" are the parts
OF what is called the THYROID
gland" When this gets out of or
ger, there may be enlargement OF
the organ and disturbance in the
normal generation of its Juices.
since this secretion has an import
n part to play in mental and
physical activity, unless this or
gan operates normally, the afflict-
ed individual Is in danger.
It has been found that the alb

trouble develops.

n use of fish as a possible means
OF escaping the disease. A chemi-
cal analysis OF several varieties of
flsh revealed that iodine Is found
IN sea fish and not in fish from
fresh water.
Then tests were made TO find ont
If canning or preserving the fish
altered the iodine content. This
was important, because It is not
easy, even with modern methods Of
refrigeration, to get salt water fish

prevalent.
IL was found, fortunately, that
the preservative processes do not
destroy the iodine. Among the
sources OF iodine supply, therefore,
we have in the eating of sea fish
one way TO help overcome the dan
gers Of goiter.

The Market Problem

Fertile acres Of Valley soil produce abundantly
and water pumped from the Rio Grande and carried
to fields make a regular crop almost certain
Fruit and vegetables can be grown one year with
another.
The quality of Valley crops average high, although
there is room for improvement in pack and grade
Quantity and quality production are easy.
The real problem is to sell the output Of the lands
at a profit.
The marketing problem has been discussed at great
length in the past five years but little has been
done to effectively solve it.
The situation is so complicated that a new angle
of it can be turned up at every point Of contact
Some few outstanding facts can be pointed out to
guide the way to a start toward a solution:
ORGANIZATION is necessary.
Efficient management of the organization Is nee
essary.
Confidence in the management on the part Of the
growers is necessary.
A willingness to cooperate on the part Of the
membership Is necessary.
Sound financing Is necessary.
Marketing conditions In the Lower Rio Grande
valley must be improved If this section ever is to
become the agricultural empire 1t is capable OF be-
coming.
Decentralization Of crops must be prevented. Plant
ing of vegetables at the wrong season must be stop
ped. Freight rates must be improved.
All these and a thousand other smaller problems

organization is working.
To properly organize an experienced cooperative
onerator will be needed. The services OF this man
will come high. 1t is proper that they should. He
has a commodity of which there is not an oversupply
training as a manager of successful cooperative or
CARNATIONS.
This man would cost $4,000 per year, or probably
more. Until the organization is willing to pay that
type of man there is little prospect of success for
organization.
This should be the major expense OF the organi-
zation, though not the only expense. The matter
Of financing would be one Of the big little" prob
lens. An efficient man of the right type at the
head of the organization probably would save MS
salary by reducing operating expense.
After the organization is perfected there must be
some way to make 1t hold together for a sufficient
period to receive a real test.
1t probably would not make any Roadway Tor one
year, possibly not for two. Any apparent proflt
earned by it in that period for its members likely
would be the result of unusual market conditions.
And after it did begin TO function properly 1t
would not be able to sell Sc per ton cabbage for $50
uer ton. nor would it be able to reduce the spread
from producer to consumer to any considerable ex-
tent.
An efficient organization would be able to get
sail there is to get" out of each crop. 1t could do
no more. But that would be sufficient to place truck
farming and citrus growing in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley on a highly profitable basis for good farmers.
The farmer who is a failure will be a failure IN
or out of an organization.

gested Charlie.
The only reply he received was a
b~uSinesslike boot.
They were back at the inn in
ten minutes. with the bicycle re-
stored to its shop, and the car
standing outside under the inn
sign. Rupert led Charlie to the
summer house in the back garden,
and then barked:
"Well?"
There's not an awful lot to tell
replied Charlie, but there1l be
more in a few minutes. You've had
my story up to the time I got back
to the inn, and just before I went
to Moor View, haven't you?"
Yes, I received your note-that's
why I went after you," said Rup-
ert. las soon as I returned to the
hotel, the maid and the innkeeper
bounced upon me and pointed to
your envelope in the hall"
Yes, I told 'em I'd flay them
alive if they didn't" grinned
Charlie. Where were you, all thai
time?"
Yours first" answered Rupert.
'Mine'll follow"
Charlie related his experiences.
The recital was almost meticulous
in its detail, and even some of the
emotion crept in.
"She's-she's pretty good, that
girl" said Charlie, as he concluded.
We've just got to look after her,
you know"
Obviously" agreed Rupert,
thoughtfully.
You've never seen such golden
hair"

posed Rupert, suddenly. Il came
upon a girl before breakfast, on
my way back from Coomber House,

Cunningham"

Charlie, reproachfully.

Have you told me of every person
you have passed? There was nc
reason to think any more about
her-then. She'd been crying"
"What?" roared Charlie, now
genuinely indignant. You mean
to say-you're telling me that she
was crying, and you didn't think II
important, or-or do anything?"
Cool down, Charlie replied
Rupert. Miss Cunningham isn't q
little girl of eight, whom any
stranger has a right to console
with a bag of sweets! And, any
way, in about a dozen minute;

Charlie had not been in the gar
den of Moor View for more than
half an hour, but much had hap
pened to him in that time, and
his mind was chaotic with new ex-
perienceS and responsibilities as he
pulled his uninjured bicycle out Of
the ditch.
We love our dreams, and talk
over them, and sigh over them. IL
is only the attainable reality that
fills us with active fire, however.
To Charlie CarfaX, Joscelyn was
the dream, and Celia the reality;
while Joscelyn could merely tan
talize him. Celia might-who knew
do more! Possibly it was merely
her need that had formed the ba-
sis Of their companionship in the
garden. Charlie admitted this
soberly. fearful lest he should cheat
himself. But something instructive

tween them from the moment she
had run into get him a drink; and
the conversation that had followed

ture Of trust. had further estab-
lished their harmony.

The u~ninjured bicycle was now ir
the road, waiting submissively to b.
mounted. If bicycles possessed
souls, this one must have longec
to return to its shop. Charlie gave
it a few moments respite before
mounting, while he glanced back a.
the gate. He half expected to SET
Simon Brill coming after him, pos
sibly with fire issuing from hi;
mouth. Simon Brill did not ap.
pear, however. He had a far more
important matter to attend to al

through that gate, and in happy
ignorance of this fact, Charlie
mounted the grooming bicycle, anc
began to pedal away.
He had completed about half the
journey when an approaching cal
slackened speed, and the driver
hailed him.

"As safe as great stoutness car

Rupert. Lets hear your news
Will you shoot it out here, or shall

The Once Over
MIR. sINCLAIR's G
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

Harry Sinclair, oil magnate, will soon begin to
serve a ninety-day Jail term. He ran out of gas when
summoned to testify before a senate committee.
The oil man will have to occupy a small cell.
sleep in a prison cot and eat prison food. He hasn't
seen any chow like that since he was a prospector.
Sinclair started life in his fathers drug store. He
used to be a soda clerk. Early in life he moved to
independence, Kansas, where he played the tuba in
McCrays band. But he saw no future. He looked
up the statistics and found no tuba player had ever
become a millionaire and that only one out of every
400 900 soda water clerks ever made enough money
| to have places at Great Neck, Newport and Palm
Beach.
So he struck out for Oklahoma. There he went
rabbit hunting and it was rabbit hunting that set
him on the path to riches. On one of the hunts he
| shot himself through the foot. This satisfied him
and his companions that he was not cut out for a
successful career as a big rabbit pelt and hassenpfef-
fer man.
Mr.. Sinclair, always a keen man, closed under the
head of rabbit hunting and opened under the head OF
new business. He collected $4,000 in accident insur-
ance, threw away his rabbit gun and set out on the
| golden trail, with no idea there would be a hoosegow
at the end OF it.
He put the 5000 in an oil lease and struck a
gusher. He was so encouraged by this turn In luck
that he wanted to shoot himself in the other foot.
From that day to this he has always felt that
rabbits were lucky.
At any rate he rapidly became an OIL king ana
millionaire lubricating mogul.
EVERYTHING went well until he met ex-secretary
Fall. He has always commended that he first saw
Fall from behind and thought he was another rabbit.
Certainly when Mr.. Sinclair saw Mr.. Fall ne got
something much more serious than a foot wound.
Teapot Dome was the beginning of his adversi-
ties and. while rabbits may have been the cream In
his coffee, Secretary Fall was the thumb in his tea.
One bad break followed another and now Mr..
Sinclair must GO to Jail for the summer. He Will
have memories there. There will be times when ne
will think it would have been better had he never left
the drug business. And there will be others when ne
will think a tuba players career has it all over an
oil mans.
And-who knows?-he may regret he ever went
rabbit hunting.
