The total cost, he believes, will be around $.'100,000, that is only the public cost in dollars and cents; the cost in lives, mostly among children, can't be computed as yet. The striking feature of this epidemic has been the virulence of the disease on one hand; the non-virulence on the other. No one to date can explain it. A large majority of the victims either died or recovered COMPLETELY. Comparatively few crippled. A new stunt was tried here. Opinions differ as to Its success. The entire town and environs were sprayed with DDT from airplanes, raising cain with the insect life, and according to Aunt A., doing no good to dogs and cats. Scared one of the latter, at least, out of his nine lives apparently, for he scaled the back fence when one of the planes roared over the cupalo on Auntie's barn, and hasn't been seen since.

'32). All of the iodine occurs In nature not as elemental iodine but as chemical compounds of iodine, both inorganic iodides and or ganic compounds. These iodine compounds are mostly so soluble in water that they are being lca-hed from the soil by the wa ter of roln, melted snow and glaciers, wells, springs, rivers and carried down to the sea. When the water is evaporated from the surface of the sea (about a one yard depth of tt over the entire ocean a year or 71,389 cubic miles of water, enough to provide an average of 22 inches of rainfall over the entire land surface of the globe If we assume 20.27 of the earth's surface is land these are JtaiirStfiS Dr. Bradv old home-town is pretty groggy. the end of the war form a com threatened a knock-out.

Therefore the land, especially in mountainous regions and pla teaus, tablelands or mesas. Is likely to be poor In Iodine as in the water In such regions, wheth er from springs, wells or streams, lakes or reservoirs of the water shed. Likewise the cereals, fruit and vegetables, the pasturage, forage and feed grown in such regions are poor in Iodine. Final ly the milk, eggs, beef, pork, mutton, fowl raised in such re gions are deficient in Iodine. Finally everybody, infant, child, youth and adult living in such a region is likely to suffer from shortage of iodine. Nowhere in North America do the Inhabitants of any particular region suffer so much from ere- tlnlsm (dwarfed mental and phy sical development) or from myxedema (firm Inelastic swell Ing of skin which docs not pit on pressure, mental hebetude, subnormal temperature, dryness and loss of hair, etc.) as the In habitants of certain regions In the Swiss Alps, in Austria, France, Sicily, India, Italy, do or have done. Prevailed so com monly In times past that the term "Derbyshire neck was giv en to it. In times past, because today there is less Isolation. Mod ern transportation brings foods from distant areas, even some sea food, to the remotest com munities, and hence more iodine. Nutrition authorities estimate tthat every one needs from 50 to 200 micrograms of iodine daily to maintain good nutrition and good health, or, say, one-four-hundredth of a grain. The Iodine Ration I recom mend for everybody, man, wo man and child, is a tablet con taining 150 micrograms of io dine one should eat one Iodine Ration tablet every day for pre vention, three tablets every day for correction of cretinism, myx edema, hypothyroidism or any of the manifestations (to be de scribed later) of Iodine defic iency.
