THE f Al'SE OF SICKNESS Almost Always Due to Weak and Impoverished Blood. Delicious and Refreshing The Coca-Cola Company of Canada, Ltd* H*€ui OfHeei Toronto Angered by High Taxes, Pezisants Attack Town. Three thousand peasants, armed chiefly with cudgels and hatchets, made an organized attack on the little town of Teano, near Caserta, says a Rome despatch. They stormed the Municipality, flung out the furniture, books and documents Into the street, sprinkled them with benzine and soon had a gigantic bonfire blazing. The Royal Commissioner, who was In charge, was seized and beaten, but managed afterward to e&cape and hide in a haystack until the worst was over. After the Municipality came the turn of the Customs OIBce, and then the Postofiice, but here the rioters were foiled by the courageous' behavior of the postmaster and his daughter, who succeeded In bc.rricajjing themselves In and did not leave the building until by telephone and telegraph, they had called for help from neighboring auth- orities. There were only a few cara- blnlerl In Teano. Most of them were presiding at the horse fair â€" the riot- ers had chosen their day advisedly â€" and the remainder was soon overpow- ered, one or two being rather severely wcunde<d. It would seem that the riot isi th« final explosion of popular wrath against the high taxes and customs dues which has been simmering for some time. Order has now been com- pletely re-establls'hed and large de- tachments of troops have been sent In- to Teano.

Most tricksters know one or moro methods of causing a coin to vanish by sleight of hand or other trickery. Here is an easy method of completing the trick by a mysterious reappearance of the coin. Unfortunately, it is not the same coin but the spectators need not know that. A bag of flannel or other rough cloth is produced and half a dozen coins are shaken out of It. The bag Is held upside down and shaken, so It Is obviously empty after the coins have been taken out. One of the coins Is taken by the spectators and the remain- ing five counted by a spectator and put into a bag. To prevent trickery the spectator ties the mouth of the bag with cord and puts it In his pocket. The trick- ster causes the remaining coin to vanish by any means he desires and Is able to use. The bag is opened and the coin ia found to have joined the others. The bag may be examined without fear of dlsoloslng the secret. A duplicate coin is used and this Is In the bag all of the time. This coin Is put In the corner of the bag and pocketed by a few stitches of thread. One end of this thread Is knotted with a rather large knot. The bag may be held upside down and shaken without fear that the coin will fall. The trickster, holding the bag â€" first showing his hands to be empty â€" gets hold of the knot while the bag Is being tied and pulla out the stitches. In this way the duplicate coin joins the other.

Walter â€" "Why sir, do you think that is an incubator chick?" Gues-t â€" "No chicken that ever had a mother could ever get as tough as that." Some people imagine they are being sympathetic when really they are only being inquisitive. Practically everybody knows whtt goitre is. A day seldom passes with- out one noticing a person on the street or car with a swelling ot the neck. This is particularly noticeable in young girls and older ones too, who go about with their throats exposed. What is the nature and cause of [goitre? Marine and Kimball, two { noted men who have given this sub- ject much consideration, have this to I say of it: "Simple goitre has been de- monstrated to be a deficiency didcaso I of the thyroid gland, due, almost en- tirely to a lack of normal iodine sup- ply in the food and drink of man." The disease is not confined to the hu- man race, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, .cats, rabbits and flsh also being af- I f ected. Goitre is of world-wide distribution. j but most common in inland countries, I especially on high plateaus and in mountainous regions. It is very prev- I alcnt in Canada, being found "in On- : tario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Al- i berta, Saskatchewan and certain sec- ;tions of British Columbia. Croitre seems to be fairly common in New On- tario and also in the north-eastern part of old Ontario where the surface drainage contains very little iodine. It is also prevalent about the Great Lakes. Rough surveys of the province ap- pear to show that in general there is a considerable amount of goitre in the northern section;!, the percentage am- ong school children being fix)m ten to twenty-five per cent. Examinations •of the iodine content of various water supplies in the province arc at present .rir.jr m.ndo, and these, no doubt, will hcii further light on this siib.'ect. The .•\;ilom Ci maritime countries from , oi're is due Ic the pres.'nco of suffi- i nt iod!n<- in the food and drink for '.; r(-v;uiieni. nts cf tlio thyroid gland. ;h? sea i.'s the great reservoir of iodine: iodine is prtscnt in the sca- watcr and sea-food ^animal or vege- table). It is also present in the air, I due to the sea spray. Salt obtained ' from sea-water and not highly puri- , I tied contains sufficient iodine for tliej I proper functioning of the thyroid 5 gland. Unfortunately, however, at the \ I present time, salt is not prepared [ from sea-water, but from inland salt | deposits which are often deficient in I I iodine or have the iodine removed by i the process of manufacture. Plants i growing on soils which contain iodine | will take it up and pass it on to the ' animal consumec. but if the soil is i deficient in iodine they are not able to I furnish a source of supply to the ani- 1 mal, and goitre results. | Statistics show that the disease Is ' generally more prevalent in women â-  than in men in the proportion of three or four to one. ; The b'.'st way to overcome this dis- ease is by the ndmlni.stration of iodine, and the most effective way of givin;; iodine is internally. One can admin- ister iodine by inhalation or by ex- ternal application. But both the«o methods are more or less unsatio factory ? Iodine can be given in the drinkiriT- I water or by the use of iodized tab> salt but the most effective way i." to give it in the form of sodium iodide or in an organic form of iodine done I up in a chocolate tablet.
