PREVENTION OF ADENOIDs
OBSTRUCTION OF AIR PASSAGE LYING
BEHIND THE NOSE

The word adenoi,ls, although still
strange to some ears, is the term ac-
cepted by most physicians to define a
very common obstruction in that part
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 loca-
ton. Therefore, while it is, strictly
speaking, a tumor, it is not malignant.
1t is dangerous only so far as it pro-
duces obstruction to proper breathing
through the nose, and so causes mouth
breathing through the nose, and so
causes mouth breathing, and by the
frequency with which it stands as the
cause of ear disorders in childhood.
such as frequently repeated earaches,
deafness, and purulent discharge from
the ears.
Prevention of adenoids, in so far as
it may be accomplished, is important,
because of the consequences which may
result from them. Repeated "colds,"
measles, scarlet fever, and dlptheria
are the common conditions which favor
the occurrence Of adenoids.
The probability of the development
Of adenoids is perhaps the stronges'
argument for trying to prevent the oc-
currence of frequent ''colds in the
head.' These are, as a rule. regarded
too lightly and too much as a matter
OF course. The means employed to
prevent colds in the head in childhood
must be varied, according to the needs
of the individual. The child should
early be taught to blow the nose thor
cughly. The secretions incident to
colds in the head, if allowed to clog the
nasal passages, act directly to produce
adenoids.
In the cases of weak and delicate
children, tonic remedies should he en-
ployed to shorten the duration and as
sst in overcoming the bad effects of
colds. The same care and treatment
should he carried out with all children
after attacks of the acute diseases Of
childhood.
1t is not possible to refer to the pre-
vention of this disorder without re-
peating the advice so frequently given
by physicians, to 'get children out in
the air. To this end children should
be provided with clothing which fits
them for all kinds of weather. Proper
protection can be provided for every
variety of climate and of weather, and
children especially should he so pro-
vided. OF all things that assist in the
proper development of the structures
of the nose and throat, and are most
useful in preventing diseased condi-
tions, an abundance of pure air is the
most important.-T Youths Companion.

THE SPIRIT OF WlNTE Err.

The Spirit of Winter is with Us,
making its presence known in many
different REPRESENTATIVES, by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and ag-
gravated. There is not much poetry
in this, but there is truth, and it lis
wonder that more people don't. get. rid
of these ailments. The MEDICINE that
cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla-
easily obtained and there is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent. @
A man generally places tue highest
value on himself when he is suing for
damages.

KASIER WANTS HOLLAND.

London, March 9.-Apprehensio
concerning German designs upon the
sovereignty of the Netherlands con-
tinues to be strongly felt at The
Hague and Amsterdam. 1t has been
rumored for fortnight that the Ger.
man government intended to make the
railway labor troubles an excuse for
interference, on the ground of the
alleged damage to the CONNIE. cial in
terests of the empire
The general impression in the Meth.
erlands is that Germany is only await
ing a favorable moment and excuse for
annexing the country. This impress
sion has been growing for several
years, especially in view of the fact
that if France should be placated by
the suggestion to take Belgium there
would be no protector tn whom Hol-
land could appeal with any hope of a
response. The Dutch people are prob
ably right in assuming that Great
Britain would not fire shot in their
defence. Hence the ranicky feeling
in the Netherlands concerning the
threatened strike of the railway en-
ployee and the drastic measures pro-
posed to avert it.
Confidence in the treaty obligations
which guarantee the independence of
Holland and Belgium has fallen to a
low ebb, fact which in itself is
highly insignificant of the condition
of international honor in Europe at
the present moment.

THE UNITY OIL UB.

About thirty of the young people of
the Unitarian church met Friday eve
ming in the vestry for swap party. "
All sorts of packages were seen and
some found to their sorrow that the
biggest bundle did not always contain
the best present. Dustpans were
snapped for candy, and "nigger"
pictures for pewter whistles, and fun
was rife. After the ice had been well
broken a short but delightfully."- rend-

ardson, Miss Florence Smith and
Charles Wing. This gathering was
chiefly fer the purpose of collecting
the young people to consider the adj
visibility of forming a Unity Club as
permanent organization. 1t was
decided to do so and committees were
appointed to draw up and present a
constitution at second meeting, to
be held Saturday evening, March 28,
and to prepare IA program for that
time. Games and light refreshments

during the two years he has been a
hard and successful worker III the in
terests of the school.
The matter of electing his successor
devolves upon the board of trustees,
but as Mr.. Davenport is to remain un-

before anything definite is done.

HEARING At WATERBU RY.

The investigation into the death of
Mrs. Sarah Bennett at the Waterbury
Insane hospital as the result of scald-
ing received on January 81 was held
at Waterbury on Thursday and
Friday. Waterman readers will re-
member that on, the night in question
Mrs. Bennett, who was hopelessly
insane, was put into tub of soalding
hot water by Mrs. Eva Perry nurse,
and so badly burned about the feet,
legs, and hips that she died about two
weeks later. The investigation was
ordered by Governor Mccullough and
was under the direction of the board
of supervisors, DR.. f. E. Steele, of
Montpelier, DR.. l.. M. Greene Of
Bethel and DR.. G.. S. Foster of Put
ney W. B. @. Stickney of Bethel ex-
amined the witnesses.
The testimony OF Mrs. Perry and
several attendants in that ward, and
the officials of the hospital was taken.
The evidence revealed nothing but
gross carelessness on the part of the
nurse, Mrs. Perry, and it is likely that
this will constitute the chief feature
of the supervisors report to the Gov
ernor.
