Feet Frigid? A Thermostat On Each One! BY RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Preas Selene Reporter YOSEMITE, Calif., Oct. 20.-vP) -The human body contains a re markable thermostat which casu ally utilizes the big toe for an in dicator. Dr. L. H. Newburgh, pro fessor of clinical investigation at the University of Michigan Medi cal school, reported today. When the air temperature drops to a certain point this thermostat begins to shut off the bodily heat going to the arms and legs. This explains why a person's toes and fingers often are the first to feel the cold. It also follows the logic of the householder who starts closing bedroom doors when the furnace lags. The thermostat does this In or der to conserve the heat necessary to maintain the interior of the body at constant 98.6 degrees, which is essential to the smooth function ing of the vital organs. Doctors who understand this In teresting heat control system can detect hyperthyroidism or other evidence of abnormal metabolic activity simply by noting tempera ture changes in the big toe. Dr. Newburgh said in a paper deliv ered at the annual seminar of den tal medicine. - Tribal Lands Hearing Opens PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 20HV A US. court of claims commis sioner sitting here to determine how much the federal government owes four Oregon coast tribe for land acquired in 185S, heard today an appraiser's total of about $63, 000,000.
