NEW YORK, August This is
the hot day for which have been
waiting all summer. All summer
I have. A certain lady intimated
that wearing it look like a locust
that had run through a pan of
milk. But do care fig?
She seems to have an idea that
when I appear in public they'll
take me for a whitening or that
someone will say Put mine Oh
rye, buddyl" You know, mistake
for drug store sandwich clerk. Any
way as Charlie Butterworth used
to say: All in white!" Here I go.
Keep the crowds moving, officer.
The elevator man seems to be
giving me the eye. AS though he
is going to say. Deliveries at the
rear" It takes courage to break
in a white suit. Mark Twain once
wrote a piece about it. I should
have had a backyard to practise in.
Anyway I've worn out a couple OF
mirrors rehearsing.
The thing to do is to saunter.
I'm walking entirely too fast A
little more speed and I'll be in a
gallop. Pin back my ears and I'm
no slouch of sprinter either.
Give me a dark street after mid
night with no cop around and I'll
make it in zero flat. l must get

Activity of your thyroid gland depends upon the amount of iodine you get in your food. For this reason, this minerai salt is essen tial to your body. It is practicularly essential in the diets of growing children, and of women who are going to have babies.
 The amount of iodine in the hu- man body normally is very small, less than one one-thousandth of 8 gram. When the thyroid gland is Overactive, there is more than Q normal supply of iodine in the blood. When this gland is unde- active, the iodine in the blood is below normal.
 To this extent, the amount of io- dine in the blood is Q measure of the activity of the gland.
 Ordinarily your body gets enough Iodine in drinking water and in table sat 60 that you do not have to seek an additional amount through foods. Certain sections of the country, however, provide glac- fer water to large extent, and this water contains insufficient iodine.
 Furthermore, table salt has been 60 refined in many places that 1t also is free from iodine.
 To make up for this deficiency table salts can now be purchased with added iodine, thus making sure that the human body will get ~ sufficient amount of this sub- stance.
 Some modern table salts have added to them not only iodine, but calcium phosphate, to prevent the salt from caking or to enable 1t to run freely, and q little sodium car- bonate to stabilize the iodine that has been added.
 Nutritional authorities are con- vinced that especially prepared io- dized salts of this type are most useful in human nutrition.
 Tn addition to iodine, there are potassium and sulphur in the hu. man body. But experts are con- vinced that the average American need not worry about the supply Of these substances, since they are present in many foods.
 If food supplies are sufficient in other ways, there will always be enough potassium and sulphur. sodium and chlorine, which make

 The popular obsession that meat is bad for the arteries or bad for the kidneys or that 1t causes high blood pressue is probably based on the quaint medical theory that uric acid" caused all sorts of maladies, from the enigmatic "gout" to the most specific ''rheu- matism". In recent years physi- clans have piped down on "gout" because precise chemical tests gen. erally show that there is no signi- ficant change in the uric acid me- tabolism in cases presumed to be of gouty character or in conditions attributed to excess of uric acid in blood or tissues. The uric acid ob- session is a grand talking point or selling point for quacks but 1t can't stand the light of scientific test. Yet in current medical literature 1t still bobs up occasionally, and the docs who like to revive 1t get terribly indignant when their attitude is challenged, especially in a newspa- per which their clients read.
 Another morbid notion which strongly appeals to the wiseacre layman particularly is that much meat in the diet somehow gener- ates poisonous by-products in the intestine and SC accounts for "auto- intoxication", "toxemia" or, as the diet charlatans now call 1t, "toxi- cosis" and 1t is easy for the wise- acre to see that such state would raise hob with the arteries, cause high blood pressure, that tired feeling, nervousness or what have you. There is no more ground for this notion than there is for the uric acid obsession. No one has identifeid a poison or toxic sub- stance generated in the putrefac- tive decomposition of meat which might account for any such untow- ard symptoms. All morbid theories, medical or near medical, are of lit- tic weight against the positive in. vestigations and findings of science. And actual practice amply supports the actual experiments or tests of the effect of meat eating.
