When Governor Lehman came
to Washington in December, 1912,
at the request of President Roose-

postwar relief in devastated
areas, few Americans realized the
need for such a program, or the
scope of the activities that it
would require. It was character

DOWN the West Side highway,
through the Holland tunnel, across
Bayonne bridge and into Staten Is
land, The Chef and I were on the
trail of old Holland kitchens, and
Dutch cookery customs, with the
Port of New York Authority as our
host.
1.-THE Dutch were really the first
to settle Staten Island" / remarked
to the Chef. "See, there's the old
Voorlezer House. 1t was originally
a school conducted by a man called
'voorlezer' who not only taught
the classes but conducted the church
services as well. Let's stop and go
in"
Easement Door
The caretaker swung open the big
easement door, and we stepped d.
rectly into a spacious schoolroom
with rows of benches in the back for
the older pupils and small chairs of
all sizes for the younger ones. Di-
rectly in front of the schoolmaster's
desk was row of four stools, nailed
to the floor. Evidently special schol-
ars sat there for recitation. Within
arms reach of the desk was an omi-
nous array of old frayed switches Of
different sizes.
"Those Dutch schoolmasters must
have kept strict discipline" chuck
led the Chef.
In the wall, directly behind the
teachers desk was a large square
opening looking into another room.
This proved to be the kitchen, COM
plete with Dutch oven and fire.
place.
1.-THE Voorlezer and his family
lived in this house," explained the
caretaker. "And when they ate in
the kitchen he could still keep an
eye on his pupils"
"Let's see the kind of house an
early Dutch family lived in," sug-
gested. So off we drove to the Brit
ton House, an old Dutch mansion
built about 1878.
"This is a real Kitchen" remarked
the Chef, as we entered the long,
low room. with heavy oak rafters.
"You could still roast whole suck
ling pig in that fireplace, and bake
big loaves of bread in the chimney
oven; and look at this huge, blue
and white willow-ware design soup
tureen here on the dresser. Evident
ly they had big families and they
liked plenty of SOUP"
Deep Pie Plates
"And see these brown earthen-
ware pie plates" l exclaimed. II
have never seen them so wide or so
deep. They must be foot in diam
eter! The old Dutch did.not have the
wide choice of ingredients and foods
that we have today. So the main
dish Of many q meal was a huge tu-
reen of substantial soup made with
fish and vegetables, or meat with
beans or split peas. A good tip for
us homemakers today, with the ris-
ing cost of eating"
with plenty of good homemade
bread and home-churned butter, all
they needed to fill them up COM
pletely was big Dutch apple pie"
went on the Chef. "Ah, Madame,
how I would like to make that pie!

OLD timers sometimes cherish
the idea that soap and water care
is sufficient for the complexion.
Well, let them; that's sEeir privilege.
But any beautician will tell them
that, in addition to the fundamental
cleansing with soap, the cutaneous
covering needs a cream Of some sort
to compensate for the natural oil
that is removed. Nature provides a
lubricant so the skin surface will

A Disease No
OneNeed Have
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

SOME diseases can be prevented
by such simple means that it is a
pity if anyone ever becomes afflict-
ed with them. Simple goiter falls
into this category; that is, we have
the knowledge and the method for
warding it off if only we would take
the trouble to do so.
The thyroid gland forms secre-
ton which is necessary for regulat-
ing the speed at which the body's
basic activities proceed. This secre-
ton contains iodine and if enough
iodine is not furnished the body, the
thyroid gland tends to enlarge. This
condition is known as simple goiter.
1t is most likely to develop during
periods of strain, such as the ado
lescent or maturing period. More
over, studies have been made which
show that the disorder occurs large
ly in areas where the drinking water
contains little iodine.
Iodized Salt
Thus, since we know the cause
Of simple goiter, the time of life
and the geographic areas in which
the hazard is greatest, its preven-
ton can be readily achieved mere
ly through the routine use of iodized
salt. Certainly, this usage should be
encouraged, at least by young chill
dren and adolescents, particularly
those living in so-called goiter belts.
In addition, it is suggested that ex-
pectant mothers who make frequent
use Of preparations containing vita
Minis A and D have potassium iodide
added to the capsules of these vita
minis.
To make prevention doubly sure,
routine examinations of school chill
dren should include examination of
the thyroid gland to determine
whether it is enlarged.
Recently such survey was made
in England Of almost 1000 children
between the ages of II and IL. The
children were located in four areas
where the iodine content of the wa
ter varied greatly.
Doctors were instructed to deter
mine the state of the thyroid gland,
according to the following tests:
whether or not it was visible,
whether it was visible but soft and
smooth, or visible and hard, contain
ing Jumps.
Development of Golfer
Il was found that in those areas
where the iodine content Of the wa
ter was high, thyroid enlargement
was rare. There would also seem to
be some relationship between the
hardness of water and the develop
ment of goiter. If the water is hard,
even though it contains iodine, goi-
tiers still may occur.
Simple goiter can be corrected by
taking iodine but a physician must
decide the amount Of iodine to be
talsn and in what form. In practi-
eally all instances, the supplying of
iodine ~ this way will cause the en-
largemsnt Of the gland to clear up.

Tot With
Nervous

By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.
SOME nervous children have
nervous parents and are lacking in
self-control.
"Dear DR.. Myers: Our only child
seven, is nervous child of nervous
parents. 1t seems to me he lacks
proper respect for us. 1t would not
be unlikely for him to tell US to
keep still or 'blah, blah,' or to
scream his demands. Sometimes he
is a model child especially away
from home.
"He has some habits which worry
me; bed-wetting, nail-biting, nose
picking. Some mornings he gets up
in . hateful mood. Sometimes he
worries about death and is afraid
his parents will die. He is one of the
best pupils of his class at school. We
have always read and talked to him
great deal.
Best Punishment
putting him on a chair in view
Of a clock for a definite time is the
best punishment have tried. Often
he changes to a sunny boy in fifteen
minutes and never fuses as he
watches the clock. But / am of the
opinion that sitting calmly with
mind on clock is the thing that helps
and not the fact that he is punished.
Do you think spanking would be
advisable? A self-addressed stamped
envelope is enclosed"
Ny reply was about like this.
see no reason to spank this lad I'M
less he left the chair before the time
were up. Clearly this chair-sitting
punishment is very effective. Make
the time 80 minutes for this lad. But
don't talk and argue, act.
Quiet Tones
Pray for poise and try to give
Heaven some help in answering this
prayer. You and Dad should speak
in quiet tones and keep the radio
silent most of the time when he is
awake, always at mealtime. | am

Show the lad more affection, es-
pecially in your tone of speech and |
interest in what he says and does. |
Be generous with deserving praise.
Really, the main problem is for
you and Dad to calm yourselves
not easy, of course. Try to loll more
yourself and get more rest. The
habits you name fit well into the
picture of a nervous child. Say moth
ing about these habits. Don't even
show concern. Dad might call the
lad up at night often enough to keep
him dry, or get the boy an alarm
clock to awaken himself.
