number Of children that viii persist, in
spite of warnings TO the contrary, in put
ting pins in their mouths. This is not
only a careless but a very dangerous
practice, as was evidenced by the 2
year-Old little boy Of ii. M. Dean. The
child had been in the habit Of having
pins In his mouth, despite the protest Of
his parents. Shortly after retiring at
night the little fellow complained Of
something hurting his throat. Surmis-
ing the cause at once, the parents exam
med his throat and found pin lodged
far down in the throat, and al efforts
! to get it out seemed to imbed it deeper.
/ The child Wsstaken to a doctor, who
removed the pin. The little fellow
stood the choking operation heFOically.
Let this be a warning to all who are ad-
I dicted to this habit.
