after the birth of our second
son, my wife said she no longer
wanted to have anything to do
with me as a man.

Two years ago I met a widow
with two children. I have been

Symptoms of q Berserk Thyroid Gland
By pR. PETER ]. STEINcRoAN

The thyroid gland can go
berserk when it becomes over
active. That's called hyper
thyroidism. On the other hand,
when it becomes balky like a
stubborn mule it lies down on
the job. 1t undersecretes the
thyroid hormone. We call the
condition hypothyroidism. Peo-
pie often get the two conditions
confused. They don't quite un-
derstand the essential differ
ences between the hyper and
hypo types. Let me give you
typical examples.
Imagine you are looking over
my shoulder as the next pa
tient comes in. He is in his
thirtieS. His eyes are wide and
staring. He looks as If he has
just been through a horrible
experience. You ask him to sit
and he does-but not for long.
He fidgets, he keeps crossing
and increasing his legs. he
cannot relax.
I've lost about 20 pounds in
the last few months" he will
say. "And I can't understand it,
My appetite has been vora-
cious."
Further questioning ELECTS the
following: He has been getting
tired more easily. He perspires
alp the time. His leg muscles
ache when he climbs stairs. He
has periods of diarrhea. He has
been very nervous.
Runaway Pulse
On examination, his pulse is
running away" Usually it is
regular, but sometimes irregu-
larity is marked: Either due to
skips that we call premature
beats or to a condition known
as auricular fertilization. His
skin Is warm and moist.
There is a fine tremor of his
fingers. The whites of his eyes
are prominent. More often you
can palpate an enlarged thy
roid that is easily visible; at
other times you have to exam
L inc carefully for the presence
of a small enlargement the size
of a large pea.
Such are the typical signs
and symptoms of hyperthyroid-
ism. Nine times out of ten the
doctor will make the correct
diagnosis on this evidence
alone. To make sure he may
order a nasal metabolism test
or a protein bound iodine blood
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-03

test. Depending on your doc
tors Judgment, the condition
will be treated by drugs, by
X-ray. by radio-iodine or by
operation.
Now here comes another pa
tent. She is a 45-year-old
W o m a n. 1t is midsummer
nevertheless she wears a sweat
er. She acts cold and is cold
She is overweight. Her face is
pudgy. Her eyelids may seem
puffy. Her hair is dry and
sparse. Sc are her eyebrows,
Unlike the previous patient, she
is content to sit back in her
chair motionless. You have the
feeling she could sit there i'm
mobile all day.
Treatment Sil.- pie
II don't know what's wrong
with me lately" she says. I'm
always cold. I've lost ambition,
can't do anything around the
house. Get tired easily. My hair
seems to be falling out. My skin
has become awfully dry"
Examination corroborates
many of her complaints. Her
pulse is slow. Her reactions to
questions are limited. She
seems dull.
Basal metabolism tests,
iodine uptake examinations
and protein bound iodines will
prove that her thyroid is un-
deractive. She will need to take
thyroid hormone for the re-
mainder of her life, but within
a few months, it will transform
her into a new woman" She
will lose weight, become alert
and active, and her skin and
hair will improve.
I have given you two ex-
amples which any third year
medical student can easily
diagnose. What we doctors are
also on the lookout for are the
borderline cases. Thousands of
patients are going through life
labeled as "just nervous" when
their trouble is due to a slightly
overactive thyroid. And tens of
thousands of hypothyroid are
called plain lazy" Careful
thyroid evaluation would show
all they need is few grains of
thyroid every day.

In 1948 only three hundred stu

To meet the demands of more

its charges to proper nourishment
at the noon meal.
George v. Kirk, Superintendent
of the Smyrna Special School Dis
trict. had the following to say
about the cafeteria program: IT
hope that every parent and pupil
realizes the Importance of good
meals. We are not concerned
with where the child eats, but are
concerned with what he eats. The
Importance of three nutritious,
balanced meals to the growing
child cannot be overemphasized.
Good food helps the child grow
strong and tall, gives the child
stamina to resist illnesses, and
helps the child be alert in his
various school activities. Soft
drinks, candy, and cookies do not
make adequate substitutes for
balanced meals"
Even though the cost of foods
has increased in the last few
years, there has been no increase
in the prices of cafeteria meals
since September, 1854. Pupils are
charged only thirty cents for plat
tiers, complete with dessert. The
cafeterias in the Smyrna Schools
are operated on a non-profit bas-
is. Their main purpose is to serve
hot, balanced meal. Even with
the very low prices charged, the
cafeterias are still self-support-
ing. Most of the food must be
purchased and all salaries, except
the managers, are paid from the
income of food sales.
Every platter served in the
school cafeterias must, and does,
meet the following state require
ments:
1. Two ounces of fresh, frozen,
or processed meat, fish, cheese, or
poultry;
2. Six ounces of raw, cooked, or
canned vegetable or fruit;
8. One portion of bread, mullins
or hot bread;
4. Two teaspoons of butter; and
s. A half pint of whole milk.
Emphasis is placed on plentiful
foods and locally grown foods.
The same menu is not served more
than twice in any one month. Sur
plus foods are purchased by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture and distributed to non
profit feeding organizations as a
supplement to the ordinary menu.
Smyrna cafeterias receive a share
of these surplus commodities.
Here is an example of the meal
which the students in both cafe
terias are able to purchase for
thirty cents: Dreamed chicken on
filling, peas. cranberry sauce,
cookies or peaches, bread, butter,
and milk.
The present cafeteria personnel
is as follows: Mrs. Marie Downs,
manager; and Mrs. Ethel Urian,
finance manager. In the high
school Mrs. May Hickey, Mrs.
Ann Hutchens, Mrs. Helen Spence
and Lee Severson are employed.
In the elementary school Mrs.
