OF aid, they passed her by; but
young Larry thought he heard her
call Water" in a very faint voice.
So they looked back, and saw her
fall to the ground.
When they reached her, she was
so far gone that she could talk
only incoherently. The men i'm
mediately began to resuscitate her
but her lips were so swollen that
they realized medical attention
would be necessary.
She let them know her husband
was somewhere out in that barren
hot desert.
They found him so yards from
the road. six miles further on. He
had left cooking utensils and a
crude sign in the road pointing to
where he took refuge from the
heat in dry wash.
He was alive, but only barely so
The fishing party took the Cog
hills to Buckeye, from there they
were brought to the Phoenix hos

Thot Thyroid Gland

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

. THE THYROID gland in the
meek is one Of the four most i'm
portant glands of internal secre-
ton. 1t works along in conjunc-
ton with the other three-the
pituitary, the adrenals and the
pancreas.
An enlargement of the thyroid
gland, goiter, usually means that
there is an increased secretion,
and when the gland a.rophics we

When It's Lacking

1t is often thought that a lack
Of thyroid secretion produces
obesity, overweight and a phleg-
matte mental state. but in the
minor forms quite the opposite is
true. Obesity is very seldom the
result of lack of thyroid secretion
and most of these patients are
quite definitely underweight.
Instead of being phlesmatic, a
great many of these minor forms
of thyroid deficiency were nerv-
Gus; they had often first been dag
rosed as neuraSthenia or hysteria
by other physicians and had quite
frequently been given sedatives.

Get Doctors Advice ::
The logical treatment when
there is a deficient thyroid secre-
ton is to supply thyroid extract
taken from animals and given by
mouth. This is available, on the
judgment of a physician and can
be obtained in proper strength. On
the use of this, many of these pa
tients fatten up and, curiously
enough, say that it makes them
sleep better and alleviates their
nervousness. Children held back
at school on account of poor
scholarship have skipped a grade
on taking the needed thyroid ex-
tract.
The dry skin and oily face of
the adolescent youth who has
acne frequently clears up under
the use of thyroid extract.
Children take thyroid extract
very we'll, although it should al
ways be taken under the care of a
physician, and frequently admin
lstration should be stopped for
several days in order to reduce the
amount of stimulation which the
drug invariably causes.

There are no tried and true re-
cipes for remodeling your house
Each house is separate problem,
with its own list of dos and dents,
and the best we can do is con-
slider each item in turn. The aid
of a good architect is recommended,
as his experience will provide many
of the best ideas, and his prudence,
also a product of experience, will
save you money in indicating the
feasibility OF some Of your own pet
notions.
Remodeling is usually not mex
pensive, but it will bring up to date
an outmoded house, at the same
time that it preserves for you the
things you like about your prop
erty. 1t will give your "lived-in
house." with all its happy associa-
tions, that professional touch Of
Smartness and distinction that will
make you proud of your home for a
long time to come.
Consider carefully what altera-
tionS you wish to make. If you
need additional space. which may
be provided with the erection of {.
new wing, and new exterior details,
such as more dignifed entrance
and porches. this may be done eco
nomically. But if you want to alter
the plans of the original house, tear
down walls and reallocate space,
your costs will be doubled. as you
will have labor charges for both the
tearing down and the rebuilding.
Cellar Problems.
In old houses the cellars often
have dirt floors, with dry masonry
walls laid up against the side of
the excavation. If these have been
pointed up later. the result is very
often a damp cellar. Waterproofing
is expensive and not effective unless
all rain water is cleverly DETECTED
from the foundation walls. A ce-
ment floor with a sump pump in
stalled to carry of any standing
water usually solves the cellar prob
lem.
Floors and floor joists, if free
OF termites and dry rot, NAV be
used as they are with crack filing
and refinishing Many floors in old
houses are single. with the flooring
laid directly over the joists. ANY
crack filling will drop right through

as the farmers family so years ago
used in a year. 1t will cost about
$3.50 a foot to drill a well and
pumping equipment and installation
will cost in the neighborhood of $3.50
more.
Look Into Zoning.
Don't become too enthusiastic over
your remodeling job until you have
looked into the zoning situation. Be
sure that the expenditure you make
on your old house will serve you
faithfully over period of years
and you won't wake up some bright
morning to find that the steam
shovel is putting away just outside
your window excavating for an
apartment house or a theater or
park and shop" area, because the
zoning has been changed Also in
case you are remodeling a barn
into a house or changing an old
store into residence find out what
restrictions the town fathers have
made and be sure you are the proper
number of feet back from the street
and that you will not run into con-
troversy with the town plan.

way of remodeling you are still

ter to fill with wood strips or to
lay a new floor over the old one.
If the heating system is 25 years
old you will save time, money and
annoyance by installing modern

burn coal are not efficient with other
heating units installed. and the cum
bersome radiators used with the
old type system may be replaced
with the slim. modern ones that
are better looking and very eff
cient. Pipes may be laid in the
wall and otherwise concealed A
steam or hot water system is usual
ly easier to install in an old house
than q hot-air system, which re-
quires space for large heating ducts.
Wiring Repairs.
If your house needs extensive re-
wiring for electricity and the install
lation of base plugs for equipment
you would be wiser to have the
whole system redone. Old houses
have too many ceiling outlets and
never enough floor outlets, and the
ease of mind that goes with a mod
ern electric wiring job which serves
all purposes and is thoroughly pro-
tected with proper fuse control can
not be estimated in dollars and incl
dentally will not cost much more
than the checking and repairing of
the old system.
In case your doing over job hap
pens to be in the country, where
your water supply depends on a
well. you will need to install pump
ing equipment and an artesian well.
