Having babies makes quite a
drain on the ductless glands of
the mother and the theory is that
when three or four come in rapid
succession, the last one does not
get as much thyroid secretion
from the mother Is the others, and
the thyroid gland does not de-
velop as well.
X-Ray Valuable
1t is a good thing that by the
use Of the x-ray we can tell so

the babies was 2 per cent. 1t is to
the credit of the good work at the
hospital that there were no deaths

CANNED SALMON AS FOOD VALUE
 IS HIGHLIGHTED
Two Vitamins Contained in Product Are Ex-
 pIdined in Article

Nutritive values of canned salmon are highlighted in an article in the current Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association by Ar thur w. Steers and Louis Fischer of the University of Washington.
 The article deals with the first years work in a study of the effects of long storage periods on food and health values of canned salmon. The current paper is an extension of a report delivered by the two scientists to the annual convention of the association in Atlanta last fall, and deals with the vitamin content of oil from canned salmon
 Describing the study of the keep ing qualities of canned salmon nu- tritive elements which is in progress at the University of Washington, the report says:
 The worlds output (of canned salmon) during the last ten years has reached an annual average of over ten and half million cases. Every year portion of the pack is stored and a greater part sold prior to the arrival of the new pack. It is of immense interest to know if the product undergoes any changes during this period. This led to the study, which is in progress of the effects of storage upon the oil in canned salmon"

work done during the first year of a projected three-year study course covers the vitamin A and D values of canned salmon.
 Vitamin A, which is important in aiding the body to guard against infection, and also is important to good eyesight. was found in canned salmon but in rather limited quan- titles. While canned salmon adds this vitamin to the diet it is not a sufficient source.
 The vitamin D content of the sal mon oil assayed at 80 units which is very high and establishes canned salmon one of the most natural food sources of this vitamin.

The old saw, "as Maine goes, so goes the nation" is just an old saw.
 There are no less than 30 states topping Maine when it comes to correctly indicating the outcome of national elections.
 In the 10 presidential elections since 1900, there's nothing in the record pointing even remotely to Maine as a reliable political baro- meter. On the other hand, four states can point with pride to a 100 percent score.
 Fifteen states have been right nine times and wrong once; Il others were on the winning side eight times.
 Then comes Maine-along with Arizona, New Mexico and Penn sylvania-with a pretty sad rec ord of three wrong and seven right.

EVANSTON, Ill, July 11.-A Northwestern University scholar has made public a research report which he said scotched a 73-year- old accusation that William H. Seward, Civil War era Secretary of State, contrived the purchase or Alaska to advance his own politi- cal fortunes.
 Citing recently uncovered jour nals of an explorer as conclusive authority, James Alton James, Dean Emeritus of the universitys graduate school and formerly Chair man of the history department, said the purchase of Stewards Ice box from Russia in 1867 was not merely lucky deal for the United States arranged "unwittingly' through a politicians self-interest, as imputed by some historians.
 Potential Wealth
 Seward was not primarily mott vated by thoughts of aiding him. self politically" Dean James said, but by his knowledge of Alaska s potential wealth" disclosed mainly through the explorations of two members of Northwestern's staff"
 The Deans investigations were served by the finding of five jour nals of Dr. Henry M. Bannister, one of the explorers, in the home of his daughter, Miss Ruth Ban mister of Evanston.
 The journals, together with a

study of official records and a review of the writings of Maj. Ro- bert Kennicott, the other explorer, convinced pr. James that Seward was amply aware of Alaska's eco- homie resources.
 Died On Yukon
 Kennicott, first Curator Of Northwesterns Museum of Natural History, twice explored Russian territory and died in desolate noun tain country 500 miles up the Yu- kon River.
 pr. James said that Kennicott obtained important information concerning trade at Fort Yukon in commodities such as fur and fish.
 Dr. Bannister, who became the second Curator of NCrthWesterns museum, was in charge of one sec ton of the later Kennicott expedi- tion, and made valuable observa- tions of climatic and economic con- ditionS.
 He returned to Washington, the Dean related, and supplied Seward and Charles Sumner, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations with additional informa- tion about Alaska.
 It was after pr. Bannister had told his story, Dean James said, that the Senate, with only two dis senting votes, decided to purchase Alaska for $7,200,000.
