A small quantity of iodine in the food will make chil dren immune from simple goiter. Common salt is something that is used by everyone regularly. Salt Is therefore an ideal medium for supplying iodine to children. The average person eats about seven pounds of salt a year and in order to furnish sufficient iodine .02;v of sodium iodine has been added to common tagle salt. There is no danger of 5ins ill effects by the Use of iodized salt; Common table salt contain ing this quantity of sodium iodide is therefore recommended for the prevention of simple gaiter.

Josiah L. j Parrish, the black smith preacher for whom the school was named, was one of the big; men of earliest Oregon. He was a member of the constitution al convention; he was of the com mittee that; had to find lodging for the framers of the constitu tion, when they had to "board around' free because, there was no official money to pay their bills. He was the first. Indian-. agent " in Oregon; he was rated as a man who the I Indians could trust im-plicity- and; there have been few in the whole Northwest for whom the Indians could say as much. He was of the eort who give honor and character to a state and city; the naming of , this splendid school for a man of his sterling worth was a happy and gracious thought. And it is a monument of which he would be justly proud, if he were to see it.- j: - ' ' 'f Ting-a-ling! . The bells will call on Monday morning.

I Wire. In Hehi ami. Cold Telephone wires are a'ouf four and thfee-quartefs. feet longer to the mile in summer than fh the winter time. This Is' caused by the copper expanding from the heat: r " - Accordingly, when wife is strung in the summer the linemen must alio wthe. wire(to sag more hAlwoan nnlca than KaW An fw of grt9t utility In the financial w1nter Rs t6 prevent the wfre world and a source of prote! ion J from stretching too tleht and alike to bankers an. their depos itors. x Not only is it possible to send photographs over the wires 'and have them rerpoduced with the ut most fidelity but cartoons,: sketch es, finger-prints,' music and speci mens of hand writing have been transmitted successfully in this way between New York and Chi cago. Bankers are ; especially in terested in the results with hand writing, as thew forsee a quick and sure method of verifying sig natures on checks j which have been- sent from far away and of-. fered S for collection. Under the new system, when there is any reason- to doubt the authenticity of the name on a check, a picture can be taken of the signature and flashed immediately to the bank on which the check breaking when cold. w4yther comes. As a consequence X there are very few wire breaks In win ter caused by the wire becoming too tight. The breaks that: do oc cur at that time are caused gen erally by sleet j storms. A half inch of sleet on a mile of tele phone wire weighs about one and a half tons: I About 66 of the total tele phone line mileage in the Bell sys tem is now In underground cable, and more than 22 is oi'n aerial cable. This leaves but 12 in open wire. "Lafayette, We're Here" The room that Lafayette occu pied as a, bedchamber in the quaint col6nial tavern at North- wood, N. H., is now serving as the is xirawn, town's telephone exchange. It was just 100 years' ago next spring that teh Marquis de Lafayette vis ited ihl3 country and passed through Northwood on his trium phal j tour from Boston to Port land,! Maine. From the outside the old tavern is just the same as it was when Lafayette visited the X lace. ; ; : . r- service throughout the republic ls being improved and extended. - . I According to the latest avalla? ble figures. New York City has more telephones than any foreign country except Germany . j Interesting Hello Items There is enough telephone wire in the United States to make a net that would hold the earth like an egg in an eggcup. Besides put ting one span around the equator this net would consist of 6584 strands joined at the South Pole and" spreading gradually until they were slightly less than four miles apart at the equator, . Ten American states have, be tween them, more telephones than all foreign couhturies combined. These 10 states; are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachu setts, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, owa, Missouri and California. During, the last 10 years the number of telephones in service in the United States has increased by 5.827,000. This increase alone is more , than five times the total number of telephones now in use in the whole of Qreaf Britain. f ' ' ' : Chicago has one telephone for every four people, .

' The salmon run In British Colum-v -bia rivers is the largest since the. record of 1919, according to re-?, ports received by Hon, William Sloan; provincial commissioner of fisheries. Canneries along the Fraser. Skeena and Naas . rivers are working day and nig"ht shifts in an effort to take care of the catch. ' i - The catch of sockeye, Mr. Sloan said, will be the heaviest in years. The marked increase in quantity this year will mean greater pros perity for the salmon industry. The total value of the fisheries production of Canada was $42,-. 563,5 4 & last year, according : to the annual report, or an increase in value of $765,335 over 1922. , The amount of capital repres-. ented In .fishing vessels,' boats, nets, traps, piers, and. wharves em ployed in catching and landing the fish in 1923 was S23.645.316.

BIttner of Port land, isbeing distributed by Sup erintendent of Public Instruction J. A. Churchill. The proposed plan for conducting the week-day religious school Is explained in the general statement given in the pamphlet by Superintendent Chur chill as follows: J i Tpo many people think' of the end, of education , as being citizen ship, parenthood. Industrialism, or trade. , t "Education should be regarded as being development of man in the full roundness of character, in all beauty of body, of Intellect of heart, of will. Tie end of edu cation must be character, based on right habits of moral conduct. 'A good system of education will not only develop the mental and the physical man, but the spiritual as well. Without giv ing spiritual values along wth the mental and physcal, a system of education is materialistic and will fail to advance in civilization the people in it, and prepare them for the highest form of self-govern-: ment. "In America, church and state are separated for air. time. The , Bible : can not be taught in the ' public schools since we. are a : people of mixed faith, and the in terpretation of the Bible . - the school, when not the interpreta tion in the home, might precipit ate factional strife in the com taunity, and -weaken the teacher's influence with the child the chief I obligation of the school. "An adequate 'system of educa tion must provide for t "'- tn : religious nature of childhood, and the plan of the week-day religious school will t;ive suchT training -without doing violence to the faith of the home. To the end that finer moral and spiritual values may be seclred by establishing in Oregon boys and gins those vir tues that make for, clean living and right thinking; the depart ment of education, through this course of study, is making it pos sible. for school districts to give religious instruction through ther public schools." The week-day religious school Is defined as follows: ; "A week-day religious school Is one? organized and financed by a church, or group of churches, which pupils, with their parents' permission, will attend on school time. .' -. v i j. i; '. ;.;. .; u . Minimum requirements for a week-day religious school are: J "(a) The teacher must hold, a certificate issued by the super intendent of public instruction in Oregon, authorizing the holder to teach in the week-day " religious school. A board of seven exam iners will pass upon the sufficien cy of an anplicant's preparation for the certificate, and recommend to the superintendent of public instruction for or against its is suance. Tne mmum " prepara tion required is six years of school work byond the eighth grade, an adequate knowledge of the subject matter, and a train ing for imparting religious in struction. ; Blanks , upon which application for a certificate may be made will be mailed from the office of the superintendent ; of public instruction. VVa )The teacher must receive an adequate : remuneration for her services, and; the budget for the school muBt be prepared and sati- factorily underwritten. " f V .(c). Since the children are attending the school on public school time, public school authori ties must have control over the children while going to, from and attending the classes. "(d) The graded course of study, as herein outlined, must be followed:"" The ( outline are the minimum amount of work requir ed to be done, and the authorities of the week-day religious school may supplement with such instruc tion as they may desire to have given. -i I t r : ".(e) The ( school must: be properly lighted, heated, ventilat ed and equipped for school work. "Suggested lesson materials and helps are listed at the end of the course."; : j ; : i Organization of work under the course of study is outlined as fol lows: f,;; j ' : . - . ' "A week-day religious school continue throughout seven months of the school i year, giving the school authorities in a school dis trict one month for organization at the beginning of the year, and one month in whieh to close np the work at the end of tbe year, unlnterruputed by the week-day religious lessons. A week-dal religious school may take the pe xfbd once jor twice each week, de pending upon th'e school facilities for caring; for the situation. t : "The course of study by years has been divided into two parts, with f twenty-eight lessons in each part. ; One of the parts iay be used by each grade, or the mat erial in both parts may be used in adjuEting a once-a-week program. Tho aim in building-the course was to furnish ample back-ground for the character development of boys and girls, to avoid any em phasis on any doctrine or creed, to acquaint boys and girls with thea main facts of the Bible, and to' give them a knowledge of. Bible characters, Bible stories and Bible literature. Salt as a Preventive for f Goiter Is Recommended f That the State cf Oregon has an abnormally high per cent! of individual affected with goiter has been a matter of common knowledge, for years, but only re cently! has any particular atten tion been given to it. Iodine ; is necessary for the proper function of the thyroid gland. When the Storage of iodine in the thyroid gland gets below 0.1 the gland begins to enlarge and a goiter is formed, j It has been shown be yond doubt that endemic goiter is due to a deficiency of iodine ! in the . water and food in goiterous districts. It is also, known that beginning goiters have frequently been made to disappear by the use of iodine. Goitre is prevalent in cattle,! horses, sheep, hogs, and poultry of goiterous regions- ' A very small amount of iodine taken with the food prevents the deve lopment of goiter in these animals. Endemic gaiter is definitely and easily preventable. ; Existing en largement. may be frequently caused .todisappear throug admi nistration of some form of iodine As to the form of iodine to be usea, it should be low in cost and in a form that will insure its regular use. The chocolate iodine tablet taken once a week has been found preferable to the saturation method . of giving iodine once or twice a year, , Next to water: common salt is the most 'universally used article of food. Most salt brines from which salt is crystallized contain a small amount of Iodine, hut in the Delivers Any (J lij D0WM mfi -Beach Balance Monthly; No Interest' To Your Home Will Pky the Balance ':., ' : j . : Itself on the Saving of Fuel jVosis Electric Was tiers ! $82.50 ancf $90.5(1 I . : I 24 packages of Rinso Washing Powder FREE with each machine: sold during demonstration i PREMIER DUPLE!!
