HOSPITAL IS NEXT Creation <if an idea is often foliow- by a practical demonstration of It idea, in which the idea takes igibh and practical form. Just w there has been evolved by citi- u here the idea of a county and micipal hospital for Tillamook, lere all the physicians of the city d county could find a commodious :ation for their pattenta. and where patients could be accommodated, a central place, and have their m physicians. Major Merle Smith and others ve suggested that the various fra- mal societies of the city and other ganizations combine and purchase e old school building and convert it to a municipal and county hospital, te thus- of other towns and cities. 1 such a place the county sick could I cared for at a nominal figure. It is urged by the promoters, who irsonaliy have nothing to gain by e move, that the old building could moved upon a lot owned by the ty, and that it could be remodeled a small cost and made to answer e requirements of a hospital, and us be put to some good use. The matter is worth investigating, llamouk it growing, and the time ill soon come when there will be a ipular demand for such an insti- tion. Why not now? Think it The Pacific coast is to supply sev enty per cent of the lumber needed to rebuild that earthquake stricken country, Japan, says Philip Kinsley, a noted writer authority on lumber business.

Six ty-six per cent of the generalized tuberculosis in children is bovine and from 18.2 to 26 per cent of deaths in children is caused from bovine bacil lus (the kind found in cattle). The British royal commission which has conducted the moat extensive investi gation on this subject gives out the following data: Of the children un der 5 years, 87.5 per cent is bovine; in children from 5 to 10 years, it is 29.5 per cent of bovine and in children from 10 to 16 years it is 14.6 per cent.— Oregon Farmer. ♦ ♦ ♦ Suit to recover $15,000 damages has been begun in federal court by Ross Hoselton, a resident of Washington, against Dr. Robert T.

OREGON GOITER STATE, SAYS NOTED PHYSICIAN By Frederick D. Stricker, M. D. The fact that Oregon lies in a re cognized goitre district is not fully appreciated. This is probably due to the fact that no specific attempt has been made to appraise the public and profession regarding its prevalence. The only available, reliable data that is state-wide in significance is that contained in the published report of the war department. These records apply only to young men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-one, but knowing the goitre ages, and the re lative frequency in males and females we can deduct therefrom fairly re liable information. From these draft records it was shown that 26.31 men per thousand examined from Oregon had simple goitre. This rate being the highest for any state with the single exception of Idaho with a rite of 26.91 per thousand. Simple or endemic goitre develops most commonly during fetal life, around the age of puberty, and during pregnancy. Simple goitre is two to three times more prevalent in females than males. Using the draft records as a criterion and considering all ages and both sexes the rate of endemic goitre in Oregon must be around 40 per thousand population. “Simple goitre,” states Marine and Kimball, “includes all those thyroid enlargements in man and animals formerly grouped as endemic, epidem ic, sporadic and physiologic. It must be sharply distinguished from ex ophthalmic goitre, with which it has no necessary association or etiologic relationship. Exophthalmic goitre, so far as is yet definitely known, oc curs in all animals having the duct less thyroid. Exophthalmic goire is not naturally associated with dist ricts, while with simple goitre this is SECTION OF LAND I Ilililí FEATURES TM 1UIMMMIM LBIMMWIIIIMM M M M W» W1MIM most characteristic.” “The ultimate cause of simple goit re is totally unknown, notwithstand ing a relatively large amount of study. The immediate cause is lack of iodin. The enlargement, herefore, is a symptom and may result from any factor which increases the iodin needs of the organism, as in certain types of infection, or which interferes experimental deprivation of iodin. The conception that it is due to a contagium vivum in the sense that this term is ordinarily used may be abandoned. Water has been associ ated as an etiological factor by all peoples as far back as history goes. If water is a factor, it would seem that it is the absence of, rather than the presence of some substance, which is to be considered, since goitre is associated with the purest of waters, chemically and baeteriologically, as for example in Portland, Oregon, or in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington, where there has been a rapid increase in goitre since those cities began taking their water supplies from the Cascade mountains. After consider ation of all the various substances, agents, and theories that have been put forward as having a role in the etiology of goitre, we at present must fall back on the view that thy roid hyperplasia (goitre) is a com pensatory reaction arising in the course of a metabolic disturbance and immediately depending on a relative or an absolute deficiency of iodin.” Diagnosis should not be dificult in an area where the conditions is en demic. Any tumor in the thyroid re gion connected with the trachea, arisng and fallng with swallowing, and with a soft consistency is prob ably goitre. The immediate cause of simple goitre being the total absence of, or the deficiency of iodin, the prevention of the condition is relatively simple. “If every woman would keep her thy roid saturated with iodin during every pregnancy, she would not develop goitre, nor would there be any tend ency toward goitre formation in the thyroid of her child. This would save two of the goitre periods in the life of any individual. Then if every girl would keep her thyroid saturated with iodin during adolescence, that is from the age of eleven to sixteen in clusive, none would develop goitre.” For the prevention of goitre 10 milligrams of iodin in the form of an organic iodide is given once each week throughout the year. We feel that the maximum good would be gained by applying the prin ciple of goitre prevention to girls as a public health measure. This can best be done through our public and private school organizations, and ed ucation on this subject will insure ap plication of this method of goitre pre vention in latqr life. The prevention of goitre during pregnancy depends upon the medical profession, and the education of the people as a whole. Each family physician and obste trician should make this an important part of the routine care of every patient. PORTLAND-MADE TIRES According to Alfred A. Aya, vice president and sales manager of the Columbia Tire Corporation, the motor ing public is swinging back to the buying of better grade tires. Mr. Aya has had exceptional opportuni ties to study this phase of the tire business during the last few months as he has covered 12,000 miles throughout the Northwest calling on dealers who handle C-T-C Tires, the product of his company. “During the last three or four years,” says Aya, “ there has been a marked tendency for the motorist to “try out” one make of cheap tire after another in his effort to dodge the rising prices of that time. Now, partly because he is ‘fed up’ and partly because the prices have re duced somewhat he is gradually re turning to the practice of buying quality tires. We feel that the C-T-C, a tire bidding for popularity on qual ity alone, although no higher than any other good tire in price, will ride into immediate demand on this wave of better tire buying. The Col umbia Tire Corporation has practi cally completed its distribution in Oregon and has, as well, strong deal er connections in almost every large city from San Diego to Seattle.” It has also been announced that the Canal Tire Company, one of the largest houses in Seattle has discon tinued three nationally known tire lines to handle the C-T-C Tiie ex clusively. Since the sales develop ment work of the Columbia Tire Corporation has been carried on less than a year, this wide distribution and the complete "coverage” of the territory is regarded as a splendid achievement by local merchandising authorties. Mr. Aya states that there are 328 dealers in Oregon alone who are looking forward to a big year in 1924 for this new product of Port land. H. J. Nelson, who handles C-T-C Tires in Tillamook, say that they have already found a most cordial recept ion for C-T-Cs on the part of local motorists and that they are well pleased to see that tire buyers are learning to recognize the great mar gin of quality permitted by the west ern manufacture of these tires, due to savings on transportation, power and overhead. INAUSPICIOUS WEDDING DAY On Monday last Walter A. Rodgers and Georgia D. Boatman of Hebo, started to Tillamook with Scott Boat man and wife and two others in an auto, the object of the trip being to get married. All went well until the wedding party arrived at the Lamb corner, when the auto skidded on the turn and threw all the parties out. Arriving in his city, the services of the County Judge Mason were se cured, and armed with a license, the couple, undaunted by the untoward incident of the accident, were married in the clerk’s office. The bevy of good looking deputy clerks ceased their efforts for the moment, and list ened with rapt attention to the magic words that made “two hearts beat as one.” While the superstitious may regard the accident as a bad omen, it is to be hoped that such will not be the case, and probably, it will not.
