TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 192G SECTION 1. Difficult Decisions By Gluyas Williams Science' of Getting Iodin BT Dr. WILLIAM BRADY Look Out Below By JOHN MacELHINNY than In any other chemical element. IF YOU are laboring under the impression that this country Is at peace you are making a great mistake.

Until the superiority of either the belt or the suspender ehnll be firmly catabllshed there will be no peace. The belt advocates claim that the suspender la being foisted upon tbe public by the vested Interests. Tradition seems to favor the belts. We frequently read of "belted earls" but never of suspended ones. Except, of course, those who were Anally suspended from a gibbet.

It is rumored that the present style of enormous, wide trousers was designed so that peace might be had by making It necessary to wear both belt and suspenders. Although this style, as a matter of fact, makes tbe wearer look as though he were wearing neither. Fat men with big bay windows generally wear suspenders, but the public is suspic ious of anything advocated by big corporations. We expect that In the end the suspenders will win out, as men always have shoulders while many lose their waistline. When men grow fat it Is hard for them ti locate their waistlines, with the result that.

If they wear belts their trousers always look rither too long or too tibort. But on the other band, If they are reducing, a bolt act as a meter, inasmuch as it registers the progress of their dieting. Nothing in the world approaches the satisfaction which a dieting man feels when he finds It necessary to pull In hia belt another notch. Suspenders aid in the delusion that a man baa been poured Into bia clothes, while a belt frequently makrg him look as though be had been pushed into them. Tho disheveled appearance of a fBt man wearing a belt on hot day Is only equaled by the appearance of a fat man wearing suspenders on the same kind of a day.

Tbe only way to settle the case of Belts vs. Suspender will be for men to adopt the fashion of wearing kills. ALTHOUGH we have known for several years that In certain umyi uci vi iiuiiiuuii, ur 'ic- flcioncy diseases, notably rickets and hyperesthetlc rhinitis and hay fever and some cases of hives and some cases of asthma, there was a shortage of calcium (lime) In the body (as measured by blood analysis), it was not until two or three years ago lhat we loarned, from medical re search and animal experimentation, that something besides an adequate amount of calcium or lime in our food, drink or medicine is necessary for the utilization (metabolism, assimilation) of this element by the body. That something is an unde fined influence which wa recognize In various terms, as ultraviolet llyht, vitamins and ductless gland hor mones or Internal secretions. Thus, in order to utilize calcium (lime) adequately the body must have the aid otthe Influence of ultraviolet rays (of sunlight or some artinciai source); or the hormone or Internal secretion of the parathyroid gland; or the vitamins which are furnished by such medicines as cod liver oil, or such foods as the green leafy veg etables (spinach, lettuce, cabbage), fresh raw milk and butter, and such beverages as fresh fruit Juice.

Deficient Diet. NOW to indulge In a bit of romancing that habit led Banting to the discovery of Insulin one, may wonder whether some such accessory is essential for the normal utilization of iodin in the body. Prof. Henry C. Kherrnan of Columbia University has-been quoted as authority for tho assertion that the ordinary mixed diet of Americans and Europeans, at.

least among dwellers In cities and towns. Is probably more often deficient in calcium Willie Willis "My sister Betty thought her curling Iron was lost an' It was right In my room whero I'd been usln' it on my dog." WHEN ON ONE SIDE YOU HEAR TrlF W.LURIN6 aiNK THAT MEANS ANOTHER ROUND OF COCKTWLS AND FROM BEHIND, YOUR WIFE'S PAMIUAR- COUGH THAT MEANV NOT ANY MORE ALBERT Etiquette: Easter Party Games By HELEN DEC1E FUN SHOP Dr. Sherman says precisely that In the second edition of his "Chemistry of Food and Nutrition," published In 1921, and the remedy he suKtrested for the calcium shortage then was the use of more milk and vegetables (winch roods aro rich In calcium) and less moat and euear (which foods are poor in calcium). We know that most of the Iodin in the healthy body, and thst means only a few grains of It. Is stored in tbe thyroid gland.

We know that when there Is a real shortage of iodin in our food, drink or medicine, the thyroid gland function begins to slow flown, and In young persons the gland is likely to undergo some com' pensatory hypertrophy (enlarge. ment, goiter) in an effort to maintain the thyroid secretion In spite of the iodin shortage. It would be very sad and discouraging to think that the utilization of lodln oy the body Is In any way dependent upon the Internal secretion of the thyroid gland, for that would be a more formidable problem than the snake swallowing his own tail. Mbre Iodin Needed. THERE Is considerably more reason to assume that the lodln deficiency disease, with which such a large proportion of the inland population Is affected, is simply and entirely a matter of not enough lodln In the food, drink or medicine of people who live too far from the sea to get their lodln in eta food: more reason, I mea.n, than there was to assume that calcium deficiency disorders were entirely due to inadequate amounts of lime In the diet.

The fifth had been without a regular teacher all term and the substitutes had not been happy in their efforts to introduce the course of study into the heads of the 40-odd lids anxious only to be on the field on time In the afternoon. "It's getting close to the end of the term and they are unprepared. Miss Marie, you take them for the balance of the term and sec what you can do to bring them up to grade." So Kiss Marie, like a soldier under orders, left her pleasant room and the 40 little girls and took charge of the fifth.
