STUDENTS HEAR
DR. WM. WESTON
Leader of “Iodine” Movement Makes
Interesting Address In Col*
lege Chapel.
The student body, faculty and visit
ors to the college heard an interesting
lecture by Dr. William Weston of Co
lumbia, during the chapel hour Fri
day morning, on the “Possibilities of
the Nutritional Foods and Natural Re
sources of South Carolina.” Dr. West
on is chairman of the South Carolina
I Food Research commission and direc-
y tor of the South Carolina Natural Re
sources committee, and has done
great work in the strides taken by
these two groups.
In opening his talk. Dr. Weston
stated that South Carolina held the
lead in the development of govern
ment policies from the time of the
Revolution to the Civil war period,
making a plea to the oncoming gener
ations to carry on this work and re
gain the national prominence that
South Carolina once held. He pointed
out that South Carolina had probably
been hurt more than any other state
in the Revolution, as more of the bat-
. ties took place on her soil, and then
going on to show that the damage
done to her and her young men in the
Civil war, the Mexican war, the Span
ish-American war and the world war,
could not be counted in dollars and
cents, or any other way for that mat
ter.
As he builit up the basis for his
proof. Dr. Weston showed that re
search in bacteriology in the 19th cen
tury was one of the greatest forward i
steps in the history of civilization in j
that it eliminated the possibility of a
great epidemic in any part of the!
world today. But going on, he stated ’
that the research w'ork of today in the j
field of nutrition would even eclipse j
that of bacetriology, for, he said, sci-1
entists have now proved that the!
food one eats determines the size of i
his body, his capacity to do work and
to a great degree, his personality and
character. He then went on to sub
stantiate this statement with exam
ples of tru'' experiments carried on by
physicians and scientists all over the ' stockings

slipped through tlie ball, past the
cheery living room, where his ne’er-d..
well brother Jack and hfs adoring lit
tie wife were enacting the Santa
Clans role.
Dick had been urged to Join them
in putting the final touches on the tree
iind in filling the six little stockings
of the six little West worths, but he
had pleaded a downtown engugeiiieiii
“The idea of Jack actually busiltig
himself to huy a lot of folderol for his

fliough it were smuething to be prouo
of. Now. if 1 had kids I'd get them
sensible presents, not things, that are
likely to t>e busted up before the hoi
idiiys are over. IMI set an example
tor Jack and his doting wife by giv
ing each one of the children something
they would have' to have anyway—
catch me w'asting my money Just be
cause It happens to he Christmas," and
so saying, he Undressed himself and
turned Into bed.
But, somehow, sleep wouldn't come.
He fidgeted about nervously, finally
falling into a feverish sleep only to
awaken again.
“.Maybe moving al>cut a bit will
help,” be said to himself. “I’ll go
down and slip the handkerchiefs into
the youngsters* stockings Instead of
giving them in the morning," and so
saying he slipped on his bathrobe with
nut turning on a light and picked up
the little flat package he hud laid on
the chair beside bis bed.
Not until he had switched on the
light in the living room did be notice
that it was his well-filled wallet that
he bad picked ap In the dark. He
started to go back for the sensible
gifts that be had told himself “would
do.” but sometliing restrained him. It
you believe In the Christmas Spirit
you will know what It was. If not, no
explanation would make It any more
clear to you. Dick Westworth did nof
believe In the Clirlstmas Spirit so. of i
course, he did not understand exactly |
why he suddenly decided to change his i
Christmas gifts. |
But the t'hrlstmas Spirit went right ;
on with Its good work, having got a i
tiny corner In his heart, and Dick j
went right on tucking hills and coins <

A BLESSING
Just a small, glittering, razor-edged mor from the suffering woman—never
fragment of cold steel. There is the! did—never can. Thousands of invalids
hint of creepiness at ita mere !Wen-l . ,^^5^ subterfuges
tion; It is such a stern little thing , , , ,
after all; its business is to make i
wounds—most feared of all, wounds
upon the bodies of our dear ones;
wounds upon and within the bodies of
the ones we sympathize with most—
the ones stricken,* with death just
around the bend ahead . . . The one
that mother is praying over in the
little room where nobody can hear
but God . . . Ah, this little sharp
fragment of steel called merciless by
the unthinking—what a blessing!
Yes—it’s the surgeon's knife that
I am talking about. And so few speak
of it as a blessing; some orate from
the house-tops that it is a villain—
a murderer! They try to inflame us
against this little benefactor, too of
ten for their own personal financial
ends.

pocus, or sleight-of-hand juggling on
the surface ever removed a deadly tu-
“the knife.” I do not blame the poor,
timid creatures—they are not to be
blamed. They are to be pitied in their
mental torture — their suffering un
rest and indecision; they do not know.
They will espouse any measure that
promises reljff—any measure except
! that little sharp, glittering figment of
steel.
A deep-seated focus of deadly poi
son involving a vital unit within the j
human structure—it can’t be charmed [
out, rubbed out, medicined out, dieted
out—it will kill—kill! The Ititle sil-
very-looking piece of cold ste'el —
i quick ! There may be death in delay . .
Yes, the surgeon’s knife is a bless
ing, one of the very greatest, used in
time, by competent hands. I do not
hocus-1 means the butcher’s knife—no, no. I

world along this line.
He then cited the fact that South'
Carolina has the foremost food re
search laboratory in the world today
because she has the greatest nutri
tional p^issibliities of any section
known to science. He based this claim
on the fact that there is far more
iodine, iron, manganese, copper and
zinc in the vegetables of the state
than any other known country, and
.'■tating that these elements are .<ome
of the most important in the human
diet. In comparing South Carolina
with another great food-producing
state, he showed that in asparagus
South Carolina could show 578 parts
of iodine plus the large quantities of
minerals, while on the other hand,
another state could only show- 12 parts
of iodine and little' of the minerals,
and so on down the vegetable list.
Through this great building up
process. Dr. Weston showed that the
South Carolinians had at this time
reached the ninth and tenth gener
ations, while in the goiter belt where
there is a shortage of iodine in the
foods, they could not pass the fourth
generation.
In closing he appealed to the young
people of the state to go on with this
work, to attract outsiders to the state
that they might reap the benefits of
the foods, but at the same time to hold
Jf-.heir birthright and remain true to
fireplace.
“Busted, but happy," he said to
himself later, as he tossed his empty
wallet carelessly aside and dropped
i off into a peaceful sleep.—Alice Cro-

SICK AT HIS
STOMACH
WAS Buffcrii^ from
stomach trouble, in 1917,”
says Mr. C. K. Nelson, a
railroad en^-
r<eer living m
PulaskL Va. ”I
had a tightness
in my chest,
a shortness of
breath. There
seemed to be a
heavy weight
in the pit of my
stomach, and
quite a bit of
nausea, yet I
couldn’t vomit.
I tried different
remedies, yet
suffered on just the same.
"When in West Virginm
on a work train, 1 was in
such a condition that I
just gave up and came
home. I couMn’t stand to
work, in my condition,
^me one told me about
Black-Draught I started
taking it in small doses
after meals. It helped
me, and I went back to
work.”
WAS Christmas morning.
An old man stood with bared
and bowed head before the great
cafliedral. Chimes pealed forth
the glad message—“Joy to the
world, the Lord Is come." The
hour was early for pas.sers-by,
and the man bad thought him
self alone until • youth touched
him, saying;
‘‘<'an I help you, sir?”
The worshiper looked up. Ob
serving a tool box swung over
the lad's shoulder, be exclaimed.
•A carpenter!"
"No; a carpenter’s son. Fa
ther has an emergency call this
iiHtriiing. He Is not well, and I'm
carrying his heavy tools."
“1 see.” said the man, "and
vou also wanted to help me.
Ciood hoy You nurse tlie spirit
of kindness, the Christ-like
si»iriL Thank you, son, but I'm
not needing assistance; I just
pa'used to consider Hmt other
arpeiiitr’g son who went about
loing good.”
‘I know,” said the boy, “the
rhrisi." 1
“Yes. and may many this
t’hrisiii'as day realize that again
Jesus ot Nazareth passeth by."'
