Answer: Pay no attention TO
the amateurs who say you shouldn't
eat this or that. They are full Of
half knowledge. There is no fruit
or vegetable which is bad for arth-
ritis. In fact, diet does not infu-
ence arthritis at all.

Body Heat

-FOUR body heat is what 1t is be-
cause the thyroid stimulates all
the cells to activity: their use Of
chemicals makes heat. just as the
use of fire makes heat by utilizs-
ton Of chemicals.
That is why the best test for the
condition and activity of the thy
roid gland is the so-called basal
metabolism test. Those of you who
have ever had it remember it as
breathing into tin can back and
forth. The can is filed with pure
oxygen and the test consists in
seeing how much oxygen you con-
sumo in certain given time.
For every person Of certain
weight and size the amount Of
oxygen used can be calculated
within quite definite limits. If your
thyroid gland is working too much,
II it is stimulating the cells Of the
body to excessive activity your
basal metabolism will be up and
vice versa.

Location of Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is located at
the base of the neck, is divided
into two parts which lie on each
side Of the Adams apple and are
each about the size Of the ball Of
your thumb.
1t is highly cellular organ
which means the cells elaborate
secretion. The secretion is absorbed
by the blood and goes to all parts
Of the body. All secretions do
something. What does the thyroid
secretion do
Well, we know pretty well what
1t does. at least we know what it
does when the gland is normal and
healthy. II stimulates every cell in
the body to activity. Cells have TO
be keut up 70 certain level Of
activity - the general activities
&C nmon 10 all cells consist in abb
sorbing food, using it, breaking
it down and sending the by product
back to the blood to be eXcreted.
Cells also have special functions
- muscle cells contract and do
work, nerve cells carry impulses,
etc. But the basal metabolism, as
the Psychologists call it, the break
ing up and utilization Of food
product and air is presided over by
the thyroid gland.

BY outfighting their besiegers, an
isolated British unit at Shwedaung
and the Chinese garrison at Toun-
goo crashed through enemy en-
circlements and rejoined their main
forces. But both Withdrawals
strengthened the Japanese positions
and gave the enemy strategic foot

(UP) - Ten Norwegian steamships
making desperate attempt to run

intercepted by the Germans, dis

Two of the ships, the 1888 ton

have been scuttled by their crews
when German armed traWlers in

A third ship, unidentified, was re-

The 10 ships had been interned
here since Germany attacked Nor

Recently the high court ruled that
they were Norwegian and must be
