The habit of breathing entirely
through the mouth is one capable of
doing a great deal of harm to the
child's general health and jeopardiz-
ing the soundness of it's special
sense Of hearing, seeing, smelling,
and tasting. II requires no great
acumen on the part of the parents to
detect a mouth breather. The most
noticeable sign in such child is the
open mouth during sleep, although
this condition may, in advanced cases,
exist all the time. A child sleeping
with its mouth open does not rest
quietly, but is uneasy, losses its arms
about, is subject to nightmare, and
may have attacks of Group, and make
loud snoring sounds in its efforts to
inhale enough oxygen to sustain the
needs Of its system. At times the
muscular exertion of breathing is so
great that the childs body becomes
bathed in perspiration and gives the
observer the impression that the little
one is about to strange.
When mouth breathing has become
an established habit with children,
day and night, they acquire a vacant
expression of face which in time gets
To be almost idlotic. as the lips are
more widely separated and the teeth
are more prominently displayed.
There Is a want of development about
the facial bones, causing the phys!-

place of 1t one sees a. white and
pasty complexion. The voice is
muffie ed and the chest walls cease to
develop, resulting in the deformity
Known as pigeon breast. Altogether
The child becomes enfeebled. evincing
little interest in the amusemnts nat
ural to its age, and, II old enough TO
attend school, is regarded as being
inattentiye. dull, stupid, and lazy.

Tidbits that Tell
A coating for damp walls-Make

shellac. mixed with a quart of naph.

crack will mark the course OF the hot
