NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, QHIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1925. 5.00 PER YEAR. DOCTOR TELLS WOMEN YIAY TO FIGHT GOITER Surgeon O. P. Kimball of Cleveland Clinic Has Successfully Used Iodine In Many Cases, Especially With Young Girls. r JOKE ON FIREMEN POINTS ROAD TO HEALTH Doctor 0. P. Kimball of Cleveland Clinic was the speaker in the auditorium in the Community Building on Tuesday evening, Sept. 8. He came to North Canton on the invitation of The Woman's Club and a well attended meeting appreciated his interesting and helpful talk on "The Prevention of Simple Endemic Goiter." Dr. Kimball has been carrying on a preventative work for some time, in fact, the pioneer work in goiter prevention Iras been done in Cleveland and by Cleveland physicians. He stated the most important step in carrying out the prevention of any disease is the proper education of the people •as a whole and that Simple goiter 5s the easiest known disease to prevent. He started by stating a few questions that everyone wants to ask. First—What is Goiter and what is meant by Endemic Goiter? Goiter is the enlarging of the thyroid gland, and the word "Endemic" means characteristic of or pertaining to this locality. We live in an Endemic Goiter district. Every normal person has a thyroid gland. It Hes in front of the neck, almost surrounding the wind pipe, crossing in front of it just above the sternum. The normal thyroid is so small that it cannot "be seen and caranoti be felt unless- you know exactly where to feel and what to feel for. Second—What is the function or Iiurpose of this Gland? This is very important and it can best *be explained by showing what would happen in the absence of a thyroid gland. If a child ■was born without a thyroid or insufficient gland tissue, it would not grow cr develop like a normal child, but would be a cretin (dwarf). It;,might never be strong «aKW^R-*fe?#Sl^, plrab- a*bly could not talk and Would be sure to be very dull mentally, if not an Biasing Ford Douses Flames When They Answer Call. A Ford coupe, owned by Charles Crawford of Canton, was standing near the Bunnel home on North Main street on Friday when a sudden burst of flames enveloped the front of the machine. A call was turned in and the chemical fire track hastened to the scene. But too late! The fire was out and yet no mortal hand had touched the coupe. Fire Chief Joe Smith looked perplexed for a few seconds; then he smiled. "Some intelligence to that Ford," he muttered. Pressed for an explanation, he said: "There was evidently a lot of oil around the engine and it caught fire from the heat and burned the hose that connects the engine and the radiator. When the hose broke it released the steam and the steam put the fire out just before we arrived. I have heard many jokes about the Ford, hut never before did I hear of or see one that started to commit suicide and then changed its mind." HELP FIGHT FIRE BY POLLING THE BOXES Sending In Alarm By Telephone Is Too Slow, Says Chief Smith and He Explains the Proper Method To Follow In Town. SICK MEN IMPROVING Harry Wise and Wi S. Workinger Are Doing Well/Thank You. News from Mercy hospital is to the effect that Harry Wise is improving steadily, and from the home of W. S. Workinger comes word that he is making progress toward Wellville. Both items of which will be pleasing news to readers of The Sun. TO OPEN DANCE STUDIO HE WANTS TO SAVE TIME PLAIN GRANGE WINS FIRST PRIZE AT FAIR For Three Years It Has Lead All Competitors and Now the Silver Cup Is Property of Those Meeting In Middlebranch. west stater- of the United States and Canada. In •endci'iic goiter regions if every woman would keep her thyroid satu*- r*ated with iodine during every pregnancy ska would never develop goiter and .i-< r baby would have a perfectly row."; thyroid at birth, and if every ghi between the ages of eleven and sixteen would keep her thyroid .saturated with iodiiio they would not develop goiter. This is r.ct only easy to ck> but is practical, said he. Kimball. At the close of his address hi -answered a number of questions. Women Transact Business In early part of the evening a short business session was held and a report from the Civic Committee ■brought out the fact that The Woman's Club of North Canton had secured four women to make the race for local offices, Mrs. Clyde Schiltz and Mrs. Francis Harman for the School Board and Mrs. Herbert .Baughman and Mrs. Frank C. Wise for Council. Mi=. Merton Koi|>.££ Piano .'AY fSe close of the. session -Mrs. ^Merton Kolp gave a piano solo, a group of three dances. Mrs. Kolp's idiot. Also, the thyroid plays a very, work is always that of an artist and the rythm of tlie compositions was perfectly brought out and her 'hearers were given a mental picture of the grace and beauty of the dance as interpreted by her playing. o important part .and controls to a very great extent the normal growth and development of "young animals, and controls to a great'extent the normal rate of metabolism {the building up and tearing down of tissues) all through life. Third—What makes the Thyroid enlarge? There are several instances where the body demands certain elements, i. e., the hemoglobin of the red blo»d cells must have iron for its production, for without iron the child becomes an anemic, the bones demand caBcum; other tissues of the body require certain compounds known as vitamines; with an abnormal calcium metabolism the child develops rickets; •wiOiout certain specific vitamines the child develops scurvy. The most important element in the thyroid secretion is iodine; and the reason why the thyroid starts to enlarge is because of the deficiency of iodise. This has been studied until we can say definitely that as soon as the amount of iodine gets below one- tenth of one per cent of the amount of normal thyroid, the gland starts to enlarge in an effort to get more iodine. If the thyroid is kept saturated with iodine it will have no reason to •enlarge. Experimentally you cannot produce goiter in animals if the thyroid is kept saturated with iodine. We must emphasize the fact' that it takes very small amounts of iodine to saturate the thyroid, one-sixth grain per •week will be sufficient to keep it saturated under, normal conditions. Iodine For Goiter Iodine in some form in the treatment of goiter has been used for centuries, the first application of this principal as a public health problem was begun through the public schools of Akron, and continued through 1920. In the beginning 56% of these girls had goiter, of those taking prophylactic iodine not a single normal girl developed goiter, among the girls not taking the iodine as preventive, twenty-seven and six-tenths per cent. of those without goiter in the beginning developed goiter. Of the girls who had goiter and took the prophylactic iodine over 60 per cent, of the goiters disappeared while among those who had. goiter and did not take iodine very few of them disappeared. Goiter Districts There are certain districts throughout the world where goiter is much more prevalent than in other sections of the .world. ,..-•■ ( The most noted endemic goiter districts are; lhe Alpine mountain regions of southern Europe. " ,: • The Himalayan mountain,region of eastern and southern:Asia. •- . The Andes mountain South America. /"•-.-, In North America—-All- of the Great Lakes "basin,"* tlie basin of the St, Lajrrence and the Pacific north- ST. PAUL'S CHURCH Parochial School Opened On Tuesday With 160 Pupils. St. Paul's parochial school opened its doors on Tuesday morning at 8:15 for the new school year. Twenty-six new pupils made their appearance, bringing the to tal enrollment to 160. The staff of teachers remains the same with one exception: Sister M. Cleophas, who taught the 7th and 8th grades for the last two years, has been changed to another post. Sister M. Augustin has been appointed to take her place. Practically all the pupils were on hand bright and early for the opening exercises. These consisted of a talk to the children by the Rev. Pastor, as they were gathered in St. Paul's church to invoke God's Blessing upon their efforts in the new term, followed by a special blessing of the pupils as provided in the ritual of the Church. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a hymn of invocation to the Holy Ghost concluded the ceremony. There will be no school on Friday, to permit the children a visit to the County Fair. Beginning next Sunday, Sept. 13, tbe fall and winter schedule of Sunday services will go into effect. Accordingly the Sunday Masses will be at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Sarah Barthelemy Buried Mrs. Sarah Barthelemy, nee Willaman, a former resident of North Canton, died last Saturday at the home of her son in Eock Creek, Ohio. The remains were brought to North Canton and funeral services held at St. Paul's church on Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. Interment in St. Paul's cemetery. Fire Chief Joseph Smith and the members of the North Canton Fire Department appreciate the efforts of the public to summon as soon as possible the engines when a fire breaks out, but as frequently happens when people have good intentions, they fail to accomplish the ends they desire and the result is inconvenience and worriment to the firemen. Chief Smith's Views Speaking to a writer for The Sun, Chief Smith said: "People will do the department a great - service if when they pull the box they will stay there until the firemen get near the scene. Then they should meet the firemen and tell them eTtactly where the fire is located. This will save time, and time is the most valuable thing in the world when a fire is raging. ■"Another thing I would ask the people to do is not to use the telephone when they can reach a fire alarm box quicker. The town has installed boxes all over the fire zone and if a man or woman will turn the handle and stay there it won't be long before the department will be nearing the box. Then tell the firemen where the fire ir. burning. "I, often happens that a fire call is sent m.o the factory. This means delay. When pi.aino; the box you sound the siren, and Uic department men start at once for thai Vox and are ready to work, or perhaps -cce. working on the fire when the engine gets there. It means a whole lot to the safety of the town to send in an alarm from a box instead of telephoning. It is proper to telephone when no box is near, but for quick action use the hpxes located various places over town. ..,-..• Turning In An -Alarm "The way to turn in an alarm is to open the door and pull down the hook. That's all. The hook automatically will go back into place." Location of Boxes Below will be found the fire calls and the location of the boxes: 3-3—Public square. 2-3^-S.

HEDGER LEAVES Physical Director To Take Up Similar Duties At Canal Dover.

He organized the noon gym class, and also the only standard leaders corps for boys, and put over athletic stunts of a nature that are usually associated with large towns. On two occasions he brought champions together here in basketball clashes, and he was ever on the watch for good material for the gym floor.

Like her husband, Mrs. -Hedger has made" a number of friends in North Canton who wish for her the best of everything in her new location.

The pastor spoke on "How Jesus Regarded Labor." Whilst some were away for the Labor day vacation, yet our school and church service were well attended. We appreciate the interet that is kept up. We began our evening services last Sunday. The affair at the Hoover dam last Friday evening, in honor of the young people going to college at the opening of the fall term, was both fitting and enjoyable. Not ten, as was mentioned in Zion Reformed notes last week, but fourteen young people of this church are taking advantage of college instruction this year. We are sorry to lose them, for the time being, from our present force, but we rejoice with them in the privilege they have and hope to have them back again with us with enlarged powers. The pastor spoke some appropriate words in view of their leaving us, to which "Bob" Dixon responded in his characteristic way. Weiners, buns, doughnuts, pickles, pumpkin pie and coffee was the menu of the evening, served in cafeteria style. Songs and play games furnished the entertainment and exercise of this happy occasion. The choir and orchestra celebrated at Willowdale dam on Tuesday evening of last week. Weiner frazzle and toasted marshmallows, tomatoes and watermelons were in evidence. The Dorcas class held their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Mary Young on Monday evening of this week. The monthly meeting of the Consistory will be held on Wednesday evening at 7:30 at the church. The Woman's Missionary society will meet at the church on Thursday evening at 7:30. There will be the regular appointments for next Sunday, morning and evening. Let us hope the vacations will all be over and all will be back again in their places. We will be most happy to greet you. ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH Sunday-school next Sunday morning at 9:00 o'clock. No morning service. Evening service at 7:30, Rev. George Wagner of Akron preaching the sermon. The Luther League picnic will be held next Sunday, September 13, at Nelson's Ledges. They will leave from the church immediately following Sunday-school. A meeting of the Young People's society will be held this Friday evening, September 11, at Lake O* Springs. Please gather promptly at the church at 7:80. , A meeting of Semper Fidelis, the young people's class of Zion Lutheran Sunday-school, was held on Friday [Continued On page four] A pet brown and white water spaniel belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Griffith, residing two miles northwest of North Canton, probably saved tha life of his mistress and certdinly aided' materially in saving the home on Tuesday night about 8:30. The prompt arrival of the North Canton Fire Department kept the flames from spreading. Dog Sounds Alarm Mrs. Griffith was sewing on Tuesday evening. She is still lame from injuries received when she fell while doing work as a Red Cross nurse in the World War, so when her dog began to bark she told him to be quiet, but the animal kept running to the stairway and then to his mistress. Then the woman began to suspect that "something was wrong," and an investigation showed that fire under the stairway was slowly but surely eating it way into the sides of the building. Firemen On the Job A telephone call was sent into North Canton and soon Chief Joe Smith and his men were racing-to the fire. "Step on the gas!" was the order given, and it is a good thing for the Griffiths that the department auto can travel fast. A roll of carpet stored in a closet under the stairs on the first floor had in some unknown way cought fire and the flames were making persistent attacks on everything around them when the chemical checked them. According to Mrs. Griffith the firemen worked hard and fast, and at last the big blaze was out. The damage was confined to the closet and walls. , Grateful To Firemen Mr. and Mrs. Ben.Griffith, who live next to Zion cemetery, were called up by a writer for The Sun on Wednesday and asked about the fire. Mrs- Griffith said she wished to express- through this newspaper their sincerest appreciation of the help and kindnesses extended to them by tlieir children, friends and neighbors, after their house caught fire. The same appreciation and thanks are offered to the firemen of North Canton and their chief, Joseph Smith, and to the girls. in the telephone exchange. Mr. Griffith regretted that he was not at home when the fire was discovered. He is employed at Aultman. The Griffiths feel the truth of the statement that they would be without a home had the firemen been less speedy or less diligent in their efforts; to put out the flames. KINDERGARTEN _ Miss Schmucker Wants To Meet the Children On Monday. North Canton kindergarten, so successfully conducted last year, will open on Monday morning, Sept 14, in the Community Building, and Miss- Schmucker, the capable teacher, promises to be there to greet all her little friends who will be of school age next year. On Tuesday night a number of ladies interested in the work of the kindergarten held a meeting in the Community Building when the following committee was appointed: Mrs. Herman, chairman; Mrs. Fred Keifer, Mrs. Peter Pierson, Mrs. Harry Mohler, Mrs. Max Messerly. The North Canton School Board furnishes the supplies for the pupils. The fee for instruction is $1 a month. Last year the kindergarten met with the warm approval of the people, and the return of Miss Schmucker i.s most pleasing to the mothers of children getting their first start on the road to an education. LEGION AUXILIARY Will Meet On Thursday, Sept. 10, and Hear Convention Report. The American Legion Auxiliary will meet on Thursday evening, September 10, in the Community Building in the Legion room.

Goiter is the enlarging of the thyroid gland, and the word "Endemic" means characteristic of or pertaining to this locality. We live in an Endemic Goiter district. Every normal person has a thyroid gland. It Hes in front of the neck, almost surrounding the wind pipe, crossing in front of it just above the sternum. The normal thyroid is so small that it cannot "be seen and caranoti be felt unless- you know exactly where to feel and what to feel for. Second—What is the function or Iiurpose of this Gland? This is very important and it can best *be explained by showing what would happen in the absence of a thyroid gland. If a child ■was born without a thyroid or insufficient gland tissue, it would not grow cr develop like a normal child, but would be a cretin (dwarf).

A Ford coupe, owned by Charles Crawford of Canton, was standing near the Bunnel home on North Main street on Friday when a sudden burst of flames enveloped the front of the machine. A call was turned in and the chemical fire track hastened to the scene. But too late! The fire was out and yet no mortal hand had touched the coupe. Fire Chief Joe Smith looked perplexed for a few seconds; then he smiled. "Some intelligence to that Ford," he muttered. Pressed for an explanation, he said: "There was evidently a lot of oil around the engine and it caught fire from the heat and burned the hose that connects the engine and the radiator.

Women Transact Business In early part of the evening a short business session was held and a report from the Civic Committee ■brought out the fact that The Woman's Club of North Canton had secured four women to make the race for local offices, Mrs. Clyde Schiltz and Mrs. Francis Harman for the School Board and Mrs. Herbert .Baughman and Mrs. Frank C.

Third—What makes the Thyroid enlarge? There are several instances where the body demands certain elements, i. e., the hemoglobin of the red blo»d cells must have iron for its production, for without iron the child becomes an anemic, the bones demand caBcum; other tissues of the body require certain compounds known as vitamines; with an abnormal calcium metabolism the child develops rickets; •wiOiout certain specific vitamines the child develops scurvy. The most important element in the thyroid secretion is iodine; and the reason why the thyroid starts to enlarge is because of the deficiency of iodise. This has been studied until we can say definitely that as soon as the amount of iodine gets below one- tenth of one per cent of the amount of normal thyroid, the gland starts to enlarge in an effort to get more iodine. If the thyroid is kept saturated with iodine it will have no reason to •enlarge. Experimentally you cannot produce goiter in animals if the thyroid is kept saturated with iodine. We must emphasize the fact' that it takes very small amounts of iodine to saturate the thyroid, one-sixth grain per •week will be sufficient to keep it saturated under, normal conditions. Iodine For Goiter Iodine in some form in the treatment of goiter has been used for centuries, the first application of this principal as a public health problem was begun through the public schools of Akron, and continued through 1920. In the beginning 56% of these girls had goiter, of those taking prophylactic iodine not a single normal girl developed goiter, among the girls not taking the iodine as preventive, twenty-seven and six-tenths per cent. of those without goiter in the beginning developed goiter. Of the girls who had goiter and took the prophylactic iodine over 60 per cent, of the goiters disappeared while among those who had. goiter and did not take iodine very few of them disappeared. Goiter Districts There are certain districts throughout the world where goiter is much more prevalent than in other sections of the .world. ,..-•■ ( The most noted endemic goiter districts are; lhe Alpine mountain regions of southern Europe.

The Andes mountain South America. /"•-.-, In North America—-All- of the Great Lakes "basin,"* tlie basin of the St, Lajrrence and the Pacific north- ST. PAUL'S CHURCH Parochial School Opened On Tuesday With 160 Pupils. St. Paul's parochial school opened its doors on Tuesday morning at 8:15 for the new school year. Twenty-six new pupils made their appearance, bringing the to tal enrollment to 160. The staff of teachers remains the same with one exception: Sister M. Cleophas, who taught the 7th and 8th grades for the last two years, has been changed to another post. Sister M. Augustin has been appointed to take her place. Practically all the pupils were on hand bright and early for the opening exercises. These consisted of a talk to the children by the Rev. Pastor, as they were gathered in St. Paul's church to invoke God's Blessing upon their efforts in the new term, followed by a special blessing of the pupils as provided in the ritual of the Church. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a hymn of invocation to the Holy Ghost concluded the ceremony. There will be no school on Friday, to permit the children a visit to the County Fair. Beginning next Sunday, Sept. 13, tbe fall and winter schedule of Sunday services will go into effect. Accordingly the Sunday Masses will be at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Sarah Barthelemy Buried Mrs. Sarah Barthelemy, nee Willaman, a former resident of North Canton, died last Saturday at the home of her son in Eock Creek, Ohio. The remains were brought to North Canton and funeral services held at St. Paul's church on Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. Interment in St. Paul's cemetery. Fire Chief Joseph Smith and the members of the North Canton Fire Department appreciate the efforts of the public to summon as soon as possible the engines when a fire breaks out, but as frequently happens when people have good intentions, they fail to accomplish the ends they desire and the result is inconvenience and worriment to the firemen. Chief Smith's Views Speaking to a writer for The Sun, Chief Smith said: "People will do the department a great - service if when they pull the box they will stay there until the firemen get near the scene. Then they should meet the firemen and tell them eTtactly where the fire is located. This will save time, and time is the most valuable thing in the world when a fire is raging. ■"Another thing I would ask the people to do is not to use the telephone when they can reach a fire alarm box quicker. The town has installed boxes all over the fire zone and if a man or woman will turn the handle and stay there it won't be long before the department will be nearing the box. Then tell the firemen where the fire ir. burning. "I, often happens that a fire call is sent m.o the factory. This means delay. When pi.aino; the box you sound the siren, and Uic department men start at once for thai Vox and are ready to work, or perhaps -cce. working on the fire when the engine gets there. It means a whole lot to the safety of the town to send in an alarm from a box instead of telephoning. It is proper to telephone when no box is near, but for quick action use the hpxes located various places over town. ..,-..• Turning In An -Alarm "The way to turn in an alarm is to open the door and pull down the hook. That's all. The hook automatically will go back into place." Location of Boxes Below will be found the fire calls and the location of the boxes: 3-3—Public square. 2-3^-S.

The pastor spoke on "How Jesus Regarded Labor." Whilst some were away for the Labor day vacation, yet our school and church service were well attended. We appreciate the interet that is kept up. We began our evening services last Sunday. The affair at the Hoover dam last Friday evening, in honor of the young people going to college at the opening of the fall term, was both fitting and enjoyable. Not ten, as was mentioned in Zion Reformed notes last week, but fourteen young people of this church are taking advantage of college instruction this year. We are sorry to lose them, for the time being, from our present force, but we rejoice with them in the privilege they have and hope to have them back again with us with enlarged powers. The pastor spoke some appropriate words in view of their leaving us, to which "Bob" Dixon responded in his characteristic way. Weiners, buns, doughnuts, pickles, pumpkin pie and coffee was the menu of the evening, served in cafeteria style. Songs and play games furnished the entertainment and exercise of this happy occasion.

Please gather promptly at the church at 7:80. , A meeting of Semper Fidelis, the young people's class of Zion Lutheran Sunday-school, was held on Friday [Continued On page four] A pet brown and white water spaniel belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Griffith, residing two miles northwest of North Canton, probably saved tha life of his mistress and certdinly aided' materially in saving the home on Tuesday night about 8:30. The prompt arrival of the North Canton Fire Department kept the flames from spreading. Dog Sounds Alarm Mrs. Griffith was sewing on Tuesday evening. She is still lame from injuries received when she fell while doing work as a Red Cross nurse in the World War, so when her dog began to bark she told him to be quiet, but the animal kept running to the stairway and then to his mistress. Then the woman began to suspect that "something was wrong," and an investigation showed that fire under the stairway was slowly but surely eating it way into the sides of the building. Firemen On the Job A telephone call was sent into North Canton and soon Chief Joe Smith and his men were racing-to the fire. "Step on the gas!" was the order given, and it is a good thing for the Griffiths that the department auto can travel fast. A roll of carpet stored in a closet under the stairs on the first floor had in some unknown way cought fire and the flames were making persistent attacks on everything around them when the chemical checked them. According to Mrs. Griffith the firemen worked hard and fast, and at last the big blaze was out. The damage was confined to the closet and walls. , Grateful To Firemen Mr. and Mrs. Ben.Griffith, who live next to Zion cemetery, were called up by a writer for The Sun on Wednesday and asked about the fire. Mrs- Griffith said she wished to express- through this newspaper their sincerest appreciation of the help and kindnesses extended to them by tlieir children, friends and neighbors, after their house caught fire. The same appreciation and thanks are offered to the firemen of North Canton and their chief, Joseph Smith, and to the girls. in the telephone exchange. Mr. Griffith regretted that he was not at home when the fire was discovered. He is employed at Aultman. The Griffiths feel the truth of the statement that they would be without a home had the firemen been less speedy or less diligent in their efforts; to put out the flames.
