PREVENTION OF ADENoms.
DIsa<reeable Affection OF the Afr
Passage Resulting from FREE
QueRt Colds.

The word adenoids, although still
strange to some ears, is the term &C.
cepted by most physicians to define a
very common obstruction in that pari
of the air-passage lying behind the
nose and above the palate.
1t is chronic condition, produced
by an overabundant growth of the
tissue normally occurring in this 10
cation. Therefore, while it is, strict
ly speaking, a tumor, it is not maHg-
nant. says Youths Companion. 1t
is dangerous only so far as it pro-
duces obstruction to proper breath
ing through the nose, and so causes
mountaineering, and by the frequen-
cy with which it stands as the cause
of ear disorders in childhood, such
as frequently repeated earache, deaf
ness and purulent discharges from
the ears.
Prevention of adenoids, in so far
as it may be accomplished, is impor-
tant, because of the consequences
which may result from them. Re
peated "colds," measles, scarlet fever
and diphtheria are the common condi-
tions which favor the occurrence of
adenoids.
The proba bility of the development
of adenoids is perhaps the strongest
argument for trying to prevent the
occurrence of frequent "co1ds in the
head" These are, as a rule. regarZ-
ed too lightly and too much as a mat
ter of course. The means employed
to prevent colds in the head in child
hood must be varied according to the
needs of the individual. The child
should early be taught to blow the
nose thoroughly. The secretions in
cident to colds in the head, if allowed
to clog the nasal passages, act hi
rectly to produce adenoids.
In the cases of weak and delicate
children, tonic remedies should be
employed to shorten the duration
and assist in overcoming the bad eff.
treatment should DE carried out with
all children after attacks of the acua e
diseases of childhood.
It is not possible to refer to the
prevention of this disorder without
repeating the advice so frequently
given by physicians. to "get children
out in the air. To this end, chill
dren should be provided with cloth
ing which fits them for all kinds of
weather. Proper protection can be
provided for every variety of climate
and of weather, and children especial
~ should be so provided. Of all things
that assist in the proper development
of the structures of the nose and
throat, and are most useful in pre-
venting diseased conditions, an abun-
dance of pure air is the most impor.

the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Hunours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

ST wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. 1 had a.
number of skin tumours-s small
ones ON my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual Irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. was very much
q alarmed, and was at loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncie
or malignant tumor.

NEW CON GAME IN MAINE.
Sharp Trick That Is Played Upon
People with the Aid of n Clam
and a Five-DO1lar Gold Piece.

A new confidence game has been
introduced to northern Maine by u
man who passes for drummer for
a New York firm which deals in
cigars. The arrangement of the
Maine saloons affords excellent OPP
portunities for working the game,
which is done with the aid of q
6ve-dollar gold piece and clam,
says Houlton (Me.) report.
Most of the Maine barrooms are
eating houses on the front next to
the street, the liquor being dispensed
from a dark room in the rear. The
drummer enters to sell cigars, but
soon begins to talk about the loss
of five dollars in gold. Then he pro-
duces a roll of bills and offers to
give six dollars for gold coin to
replace the one he has lost; assert
ing that he could never hope to have
luck without gold in his pocket.
If none of those present has any
gold man is sent out to buy the
coin. When it is produced the drum
mer expresses fear that it may be
a counterfeit. To see if it is genuine
he carries it to the front. of the
shop and holds it a1oft over the pile
of cold-storage oysters and clans
which always lies near the window
for advertising purposes. Here, in
full view of the people he bites the
coin, throws it down on the counte:
and losses it in the air.
All at once the coin slips from his
fingers and falls among the CLANS
There is a long hunt, during which
the drummer processes to be very
sorry for the accident, and offers TO
pay full value. He also treats, all
hands and promises to come back
after dinner and renew the search
Of course, the owner of the coin
feeling sure that the lost money will
be found. refuses to take pay and Is
satisfied with the free drink.
I On reaching his hotel the drummer
takes. a clam from his pocket, opens
| it with his knife, and removing five
dollars in gold from the inside, swal
lows the contents of the shell witt,
u keen relish. Knowing that CLANS
open their shells when kept for any
time from water, and feeling SURF
that CLAIMS as far away from the
sea as Houlton must feel uncomfort
able. he dropped the coin into the
open jaws of a clam son top-of the
heap, and the clam, feeling the touch
of foreign substance, Immediately
closed its shell with a snap. The
shut case informed the drummer
where the gold was, after which he
seereted the. clam in his pocket AM
allowed the hunt to go on.
