Questions Answered

Miss S. G.-There is no justifi
cation for serving toast at every
meal instead of bread. 1t is true
that proper toasting changes some
Of the starch to dextrine which is
quickly and easily digested. But
laboratory experiments reveal
that the proteins of toasted bread
and crusts have a lower digesti-
bility, and animals gain less
weight when fed on them than on
the untoasted bread and the in
side crumbs of the loaf.
Mrs. NJ. S. FL do not approve
of the strictly vegetarian diet be-
cause it is unbalanced. One who
desires to omit all animal foods
from the diet must also omit the
top-notch protective foods, milk
and eggs. 1t is doubtful if adequate
protein could be supplied without
milk, eggs or meat. Good health
is best maintained on a balanced
diet, and is such priceless pos
session that | cannot understand
why anyone should risk the con-
sequences of consuming a one
sided diet.
Miss C. T.--Agar-agar is a non
irritating, indigestible carbohy-
drate. AS it is not digested, its
caloric value is zero, and it could
not possibly be fattening.

Iodine in Drinkinu Water

Even in early times, it was be-
lieved that there was some rela-
ton between goiter and drinking
water, and recent evidence has
disclosed that there was sound
basis for this belief. Two investi-
gators found that the water in a
large part of the northern half of
the United States falls into low
iodine classification.
Several communities have given
consideration to the prevention of
goiter by the addition of iodine to
the water supply. This method is
commendable, but it must be
borne in mind that wherever 10
dine is taken in forms other than
food, careful supervision by the
physician or the public health au-
thorities is necessary.

in planning the best possible diet
for their families, | shall gladly

Miniature Ocean, Artificial Sea Water,
Controlled Tides, Used to Test Concrete

A miniature ocean with artificial
sea water and electrically con-
trolled tides is an important part of
the equipment in a research lab
oratory in Chicago as a means of
studying the effects of continuous
exposure of concrete to sea water.
The apparatus includes two H.
foot tanks Of concrete filed with
water of the same chemical COM
position as sea water, except that it
is four times as concentrated. Elec-
trio pumps circulate the water and
give the effect of tides. Every twen-
ty-four hours it's high tide in one
tank and low tide in the other. The
rise and fall is one foot.
Small reinforced concrete piles of
varying quality are placed in the
tanks and daily observations made
of their behavior. The depth of
penetration of the salt water is
checked by daily tests with ex-
tremely delicate electronic meters.
Each test specimen contains
many electrodes in pairs. An cleo
trio current of the intensity Of one
milliampere is passed between pairs
of these electrodes.
The instrument readings record

CHAPTER XVII

Fray Francisco Palou sat heavily
down in the also wood chair the
Indians had made for Junipero Ser
ra: the same armchair in which
the father had sat to write his fare
well letters. Fray Palou's fingers
reached for the same quill and,
leaning his arms where the mission
ary's arms had so often rested on
the crude table, gave himself up to
thought.
For a long while he sat silently,
listening to the darting swallows as
they flew around the caves Of the
tiny CELL Then he took deep
breath, and shaking his head sadly,
dipped the quill into the ink and
began writing:
Mission San Carlos.
September Seventh, 1884
Hail Jesus Mary and Joseph!
VERY Reverend Father Guardian,
Fray Juan Sancho:
ION the twenty-eighth Of August
just passed God was pleased to take
to eternity the soul Of my ever
loved and honored father, the Fa-
Their President, Fray Junipero Ser
ra."
Fray Palou read the words care
fully after he had written them. then
continued with a deep sigh.
''As soon as the news was made
public, it spread through all the
town, everybody mourning the death
Of their dear father. Everybody
crowded to see him, and it was nee
essary to close the gate in order to
place him in the coffin he himself
had ordered made. AS soon as he

her face. 1t was ivory white, with
wide-staring. black eyes, and white
drawn mouth.
'Eulalia. Eulalia :"
Pedro Oh, merciful God"
she whispered.
A day later Fray Palou, with
pleased expression on his kindly
face, drew toward him the great
Register of the Mission Dolores at
San Francisco. and inscribed in his
fine scholarly hand. that was to re-
cord so many priceless records for
the annals Of California, these
words:
Born, on August the Third. 1874.
to Dona Eulalia Cells de FACES,
wife Of Don Pedro FACES, Goberna-
dor-General of the CALIFORNIA;, a
daughter"
Some ten days later the young
daughter of the Governor, his little
flower as he called her, was chris
tened with as much pomp as was
possible in the shabby little mis-
sion church. Fray Palou proudly
pointed out, however, the corner
stone already laid for a new temple
TO be erected.
Then the party returned gaily to
the mansion of the Commandante OF
the Preside of San Francisco, Don
Jose Moraga, and his wife, Maria
del Pillar de Leon y Barcelo, who
were the padrino and padrina of the
baby.
There was a christening feast,
with Don Jose as the host. Dona
Maria del Pillar had dug out her
dearest treasures to grace the
board; the adobe room was a
strange background for the rich lin
en- and silver, the sparkling glass
and china.
Outside the wind blew great
sheets of fog on the pltiful settle
ment, clinging so precariously over
the gray waters of the bay. The
rain poured ceaselessly. doing still
greater damage to the little houses,
and the wall around the preside
which had already. earlier in the
year, been partly destroyed by Sc
we're storm.
But in the humble mansion all
was gay, and La Gobernadora
looked a very queen indeed in her
wine red velvet and rubies as she
sat beside her husband, her eyes
brighter than the candles. And
gracefully slim. She ran her hands
over her body beneath the table

CHAPTER XVI-COntinued

SO, amid great grumblings from
AnguStias, whose pet Chichi had de-
veloped a dangerous cold from the
fogs and sea air Of Monterey, the
gubernatorial party embarked on the
San Antonio for the Mission and Pre-
sidio Of San Francisco. Angustias
had at last settled herself in some
comfort in the Governors palace,
and had, she confided to the Gober-
MADEIRA, just got the cramps out Of
her bones from the long journey she
had made, when she must needs
pack and move on again. AS she
fused over the little trunk that held
the layette, she scolded. "A rolling
stone gathers no moss"
Eulalia laughed. And a dog that
stays at home never finds any
bonesi" she countered.
The San Antonio was drifting be-
tween Points Lobos and Bonita that
guard the gates of the great Bay Of
San Francisco. It was sunset, and
as the Governor stood on the bridge
OF the clumsy ship. he looked west
into the sky, all vivid with color,
where islands called the Farralones
could be seen rising dirnly above
the water.
When she landed at San Fran
cisco, leaning heavily on the Gov
ernor, all the people of the preside
and mission were there to greet
Eulalia. But her pride and pleas
ure in the royal greeting were inter
rupted by a feeling Of great un-
easiness. followed by acute discom-
fort. The Governor, busy greeting
his old friends. was just shaking
hands with the genial Fray Palou
when he felt his lady's fingers clutch

iodine-Rich Foods

The sea is the great stOrehouse
of iodine and hence, the most
abundant sources are sea food, in
Guiding salmon, cod, crabmeat
and oysters; cod liver oil; and
salt.
Fruits and vegetables grown
near the sea contain varying
amounts of iodine, depending upon
the water and soil, and the season,
the iodine content being at max
imum in the autumn and winter.
In general, it may be said that
the leaves of plants contain more
iodine than the roots, and that
leafy vegetables and legumes
store more than fruits, with the
exception of cranberries. which
are a good source When the soil
is rich in iodine, watercress be-
comes a fine source of this sub
stance.

ing it from the bed or platform on
which he died without removing his
habit.
Then the Indians, whom the dead
father had baptized and confirmed
brought roses with which to adorn
his dead body, and weeping at his
death. they did not want to go
away.
'At night we took his body to the
church with a procession formed by
all the town and the six soldiers Of
the guard, one of whom stayed on
watch all night with many neophytes
and sailors.
When the father died all were
eager for some little thing that he

Animal Experiments Point the Way

In 1916, it was estimated that a
million young pigs died annually
in Wisconsin. Investigation dis
closed that their thyroid glands
were abnormally large and alb
normally low in iodine. When TO-
dine was administered to the
mothers, the young pigs were born
normal.
Scientists reasoned that if goiter
could be prevented in animals. it
could be prevented in humans,
and undertook the now famous
census in Akron, Ohio. A study
was made of the thyroid glands of
all school girls from the fifth to
the twelfth grades. Almost so per
cent were found to have enlarged
thyroid glands.
The girls were given small
doses of sodium iodide dissolved
in drinking water at given periods
over 2l2 years. At the end of
that time, investigators found that
of 1000 pupils. only 5 developed
thyroid enlargement. OF the same
number not treated, 500 showed
enlargement.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-05-19

gave impetus to additional expert
ments which increased our knowl-
edge of the iodine requirement.
The great danger periods are
during pregnancy, childhood and
adolescence. The diet of the ex-
pectant mother must include an
adequate supply to protect herself
and avoid the early development
of simple gOiter in the child.
1t is also essential to provide
sufficient iodine for growing chill
dren, as the incidence of the dis
ease increases steadily up to the
eighteenth year in girls; in boys
it reaches its peak at twelve.
Some Investigators also claim
that one way to enhance the &C.
ton of the glands after middle life,
and so prolong youth. is to include
in the daily diet some foods with a
high iodine content.

Longest Aqueduct in World

The Los Angeles aqueduct has a
total length, including the diverting

This is the longest aqueduct in the
world. 1t brings water from the Ow-
ems river in the heart of the Sierra
Nevada mountains and provides wa
ter power in it's fall to the city lev

duct in 1908 and the project was

Of the salt water.
The tests will continue for years.
The concentration of the water and
the longer period of alternate i'm
mersion and drying out afforded by
the twenty-four hour tide cycle in
stead of twelve, as in the natural
ocean, gives more severe test
than in actual practice.
Sea walls of concrete have been
in service thirty-four years and
more without deterioration" a re-
search engineer in charge of these
tests says. "These tests will give
US more precise data on the fac
tors which promote a longer life to

lodized Salt

One of the most satisfactory
methods for adding iodine to the
diet, especially in goiterous re-
gions, is through the use of iodized
salt. In Detroit, a city-wide test
of iodized salt reduced the preva-
lence of simple goiter from SO per
cent to 2 per cent Similar fig
ures have been cited for other To-
calities. Iodized salt costs no
more than ordinary table salt and
is an excellent safeguard against
simple goiter.

Disfqurinq Goiter

Simple goiter is a common dis

periments, we know that simple
goiter is an iodine deficiency dis

Thyroid-The Gland Of Glands

'ilC Oidil0 VI Ol0uoS
Iodine is necessary for the nor
NAL functioning of the thyroid
gland, situated in the front part of
the neck. The thyroid is so i'm
pOrtant that it is often regarded
as the throttle which governs the
human locomotive, and when it
fails to function normally. the
body machinery may be thrown
out of balance.
Thyroid disturbance during
childhood may affect mental and
physical development, and many
children have been accused of
laziness who are suffering from
thyroid deficiency. Thyroid disor-
der may be a complicating factor
in obesity, and specialists have
found that it is associated with
many stubborn skin diseases. 1t
is also claimed that iodine starva-
