Iodine Content of Eggs and Milk Increased to Aid Goiter Cure (Copyright, 1935, by the Assoclated Press.) ITHACA, N. Y., December 3.—Expe- riments that offer a better method of combating goiter were described yester- day at Cornell University. In tests last- ing eight years the iodine content of eggs and milk has been multiplied in the kind of fodine that prevents goiter. In one type of seaweed, ma- crosystis pyrifera, Prof. George W. Cavanaugh of the chemistry depart- ment has demonstrated practical ways of getting this sea iodine into two of the most general articles of diet. WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1935. These new Cornell eggs contain 5,000 parts. One of these eggs is equivalent in iodine to half a live lobster, the richest known sea animal in the goiter-pre- venting substance, ‘They were obtained from & flock of farm hens near Odessa, N. Y. The chickens were fed on the sesweed and on fish scrap. Two months of this diet added to their regular feed pro- duced the jodine eggs. 10 to 20 times the usual amount of | to the human system are in use to iodine. ‘The seaweed is & form of kelpt ob- tained from the Southern coast of California. It grows in water 50 to 60 feet deep, its tops are so massed that marine mowing machines harvest them rapidly. It retains its sea min- erals and other nutritive substances when dried. Goiter occurs in large regions of the United States where the soil is de- ficient in fodine, so that the food plants prevent goiter. The Cornell objective is to get it into staple foods in rich quantities, Light Eating. The Bantus of Africa used to eat but one solid meal a day under ordi- nary circumstances, and few women would cook for their men more than this once a day, but with the coming of civilization all this has been exceeded 26,000,000. many fold by feeding hens and cows on seaweed. The sea is one of the richest sources ‘The jodine eggs are the first of their kind. Ordinary eggs contain from 50 to 100 parts of iodine per billion of egg. For jodine milk only the seaweed is added to the usual grain feed of cows. ‘The result is milk containing and animals raised there fail to supply enough of this chemical to man. Various methods of adding iodine changed. and Bantus, especially in the towns, like their three meals daily like the white men, The Travelers' Insurance Co. esti- Mated yesterday that motor vehicle gegistrations in the United States for Geographically, the percentage in-| There is said to be at least six cities creases in registrations are: New | buried beneath modern Jerusalem.
