row this description. there are
millions Of tons Of iodine in the
earth.
Now note the iodine cycle Of
nature.
IODINE is derived from the
Il rocks Of mountains and swept
down by the mountain streams
into the lowland valleys.
The mountain valleys are de-
fcient in iodine and in such re-
gions. AS in the mountain valleys
Of Switzerland, thyroid def
cheney IS very prevalent.
But the soil of the lowland
valleys is full Of iodine, and
vegetables and fruits grown
there Will furnish iodine TO you
in your food
Also the milk Of cattle graz
ing on such soil Will have good
quantities of iodine. as will the
eggs of poultry which feed there.
DINERS empty into the ocean,
IL so the ocean IS a great res
ervoir Of iodine
Fish flesh IS therefore rich in
iodine.
The object in nature which
probably has the most iodine is
the sponge.
Haddock and cod have more
iodine content than any other
fish.
Cod-llver oil, besides its Vita
min d content, is a good source
Of iodine.
Iodine is precipitated from the
atmosphere by rain. dew and
fog. SO after a good rain the soil
has a renewed enrichment of
iodine.
COAL contains a good deal Of
~ iodine, so the smoke pail
over our cities is another source.
Acids attract iodine and the
humus of rotting leaves is very
acid, and again enricheS the soil.
The cycle, YOU see, is really
complex.

whether 3. 6 or s per cent rep

Outside the muddled govern
ment, there are farm experts
from whom a less confusing pic
ture may be obtained.
But clear enough is the fact
that the time for panicky ex-
