most o f the goiters among children
can be cured in a few months by
the iodine treatment or with desicat-
ed thyroid medicine under the ad­
vice o f a physician. However, he
stressed the importance o f prevent­
ing goiters from obtaining a start
by beginning with the mothers who
have defective thyroid glands and
then beginning iodine treatments
with infants when they begin taking
general food. He said that in this
part o f the northwest everyone
should use iodized salt o f two per
cent strength for household uses and
that children in addition should be
given the iodine tablets weekly until
they reach adolescence.
This instructive talk by Dr. Else
was given under the auspices of the
Jackson County Public Health asso­
ciation, who invited him here as a
means o f educating the community
along health lines.
The Jackson County Health Unit
held the first o f its summer pre­
school clinics in the county, Friday,
April 23 at the home o f Mrs. Pete
Betz in the Reese Creek district.
This is the first time a clinic has
been held in this district and sixteen

V. S. Gearey, county health officer,
examined the children assisted by
Miss Vera Beard, county nurse, and
by Miss Josephine Koppes, and Mrs.
H. L. Noblit.

LETTER
OF
TH AN K S
The kind hearted action o f the
people of Jackson county in raising
funds for my benefit has made it
possible for me to have the benefit
o f treatment in one o f the best in­
stitutions in the United States for
the malady Lam afflicted with.
In behalf o f myself and my fam­
ily I can only feebly express the ap­
preciation I feel and I want to say
that the dark cloud that had settled
about me may yet I hope yield to the
treatment I am to receive.
I shall go to this institution with
the resolve to use every effort in my
power to get well and I hope to re­
turn in time to this community and
my family in condition that I may
take up the responsibilities o f life
and help to do to others as I have
been done by__ J. A. Rasmussen.

W O M E N ’ S BIBLE CLASS

One o f the finest social gatherings
o f the season was the occasion of
the class party o f the Women’s Bible
Class of the Federated churches, held
on Monday evening o f this week, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
Harris. It will not possible fo r all
the members o f this large class to
be present: but the class was well
represented, and there were a few
other women o f the Sunday school
present. Twelve gentlemen also w%re
present. The large house was well
filled. The evening was spent in
games, social converse and music.
The old sajing that older people are
only grown up children was well
demonstrated. Mr. and Mrs. Harris
are splendid hosts. They made us
hope we may go out there again.
The “ eats” committee had found an
abundance o f the very best things.
These were also well received. Quite
a little zest was added to the occasion
when it was found that the day was 1
the thirty-sixth anniversary o f the [
graduation o f Mr. Harris from high
school, and was also the ninth anni­
versary o f the wedding o f Mr. and ;
Mrs. Harris. We were really cele­
brating. The affair was under the
direction o f the “ Look-out” commit­
tee o f the Bible class. Mrs. Hub­
bard and her helpers served well.
