EXPECTANT GRANDFATHERS
 NEED IODINE TOO

Once more, observes one of my medical friends = well, anyway a physician who still speaks pleasantly when we meet-you seem to be ten years ahead of the profession. The doctors fiattering comment was occasioned by the recent re- port of University of Oregon inves- tigators that small quantities of iodine given to expectant mothers produce greater sense of well be- ing before their babies are born, easier childbirth, fewer abnormali- ties or complications of labor, greater success in nursing babies and quick CT recovery of normal condition fol- lowing childbirth.
 When the doctor said I seem to be ten years ahead of the profess sion he referred to my advocacy of a nip of iodine for. everybody. You know, the Iodin Ration. Maybe you don't know. If not, then you should know. Send me a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for Instructions for Taking of Iodine Ration. Qodin is my way of spelling iodine-and I'm going to stick to it.)
 Modesty, believe 1t or not, con- strains me to say that I have never urged expectant mothers to take the Iodine Ration, although I do say. in the booklet Preparing for Maternity" (for copy send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address,, Tn most places. es- pecially where goitre is common, the expectant mother may well take a suitable idoin ration throughout pregnancy .. Long experience has proved that this is harmless, even when iodized salt is used instead of plain salt in the household"
 When an expectant mother asks whether it is safe for her to take the Iodin Ration I refer her to her own doctor. Now that the profess sion is catching up, perhaps I need not bend so far backward in de- ference to the amnities of medical ethics.
 But make no bones of assuring expectant fathers that nip of iodine two or three times a week is nearly always beneficial, and as for expectant grandfathers. it really helps them to stay in the game to get more joy out of life.
 The thyroid gland regulates metar bolism. Metabolism is the oxidation process. life. the sum of the chemi- cal processes by which nutrition is maintained. A little iodine is nec- essary for normal functioning of the thyroid gland. In a few regions of the country possibly there is still enough iodine in the soil and water to supply enough to. animals and people who drink the water and eat the foods grown on the soil. In most regions the iodine has been laked from the soil and carried in streams and rivers down to the sea, so that there is not quite enough left to supply animal and human require ments in the ordinary way. Foods from the sea are rich in iodine, but

 Yourself
By AHcia Hart

Some things aren't an extrava- gance for a woman-even if they do seem pretty expensive when set down in neat column and totaled for a year.
 It isn't extravagant for work ing woman to have her hair done at a beauty salon at least once a week. Unless she is that rare per- son who can manage her own hair better than 8 trained operator can, the weekly session with her hair dresser is essential from the point of view of her career.
 It isn't extravagant for any woman to buy the very best fur coat and the very best tailored suits that she can afford, because in the long run she will spend no more on coats and suits than if she had bought cheaper ones more often. And all the while she will look real- ly we'll dressed.
 It isn't extravagant for a wom- an to wear sheer hose all the time (except when she is wearing OK fords) if thick ankles are the most depressing thing in her life.
 Nor is the woman extravagant
