St. Paul, Minn., Aug 29.?Death has checked another name from the membership roll of the Last Man's club. Today only two members survive. John Goff, 86, of St. Paul, the youngest of the trio who for two years have kept the famous organization of the Civil War veterans in existence, died yesterday s1 the Veterans' Hospital at Fort Swelling. He was 86 years old. It was at Stillwater, Minn., July 21, 1885, that 34 members of B Company, First Minnesota Regiment, which fought in the battle of Bull Hun, pledged themselves to a comradeship which only death could dissolve. One by one the ranks have been emptied until today only Peter O. Hall, 91, of Atwater, Minn., and Charles Lockwood, 86, of Chamberlain, S. !)., remain. They are expected to attend the funeral of their comrade at Stillwater Friday. At the I first meeting of the club in 1885 a I bottle of wine was set aside. It was I to be opened by the last mail who I was to drink n toast to those who had I gone before. Two years ago, howI ever, the three survivors opened the I wine, the three of them drank the I toast. They decided that it would be I too great an ordeal for one man alone. I GOITER AFFLICTION. I Must Be Checked To Save Future Generations, Says Expert. I. New York.?The campaign of goiter I control now being vigorously carried I on in states of the Great Lakes region and the Pacific Northwest is not simply an effort to wipe out a disfiguring and occasionally fatal malady, as is popularly supposed. On the conI trary, the disease, if not checked, I would produce a high percentage of I idiocy and physical deformity among the population of these regions within a few generations. I Edith L. Weart, authority in biochemistry, brings out this deeper significance of the goiter control work in the current North American Review. I The same deficiency of the thyroid I gland?a lack of iodine? which is reI sponsible for goiter in one generation I can prot^ce certain idiocy within a I century^she shows, since the thyroid I influences both physical and mental I development. In a district of India I with a populatioin of 70,000, where I iodine is lacking'in soil and water, I 200 such dwarfed idiots have been I found, she reports. I On the other hand, science is now confident that it can eliminate goiter entirely from the list of man's ills if I recently evolved measures are vigorI ously applied, she says, citing partiI cularly the campaigns carried on in I Michigan and Ohio. J In the former state a war-time surI vey showed 30 per cent of the men in 1 some sections to be afflicted with goiter, while the percentage of women was higher. In ^ne town 75 per cent; of the children were found to be goiterous. Since the lack of iodine was known to be responsible, it was determined to urge the use of iodized salt throughout the-state as the most universal means of supplying the deficI iency in diet. The state's figures, kept on school children , show that I only one-third to one- fourth of those who had goiters in 1924 were so af1 flicted in 1928. In Ohio iodine has been fed to the I children in Chocolate tablets through I the school year with the result that I goiter has disappeared in a majority I of cases, and the same treatment is I being urged among adults. Similar I measures are now being applied in West Virginia, Ohio, Utah, WashingI ton and Oregon. | THE JIGGER DRAWER.
