Notwithstanding,

| Youths Companion.
Nature intended us to breathe
through the nostrils, and IL for any
reason this becomes difficult or i'm
possible, we suffer for it.
The nose not only warns, or al
least tempers, the air as it is drawn
through it into the air-tubes, but il
also filters it in great measure, keep.
ing back not only much of the solid
matter in the form of dust, but also
the bacteria carried by the dust par,
ticles or floating in the moisture of
the air.
In mouth-breathers the air strikes
the back of the throat and rushes
into the windpipe before the
chill has been taken off, and while it
is still laden with dust and bacteria.
In this condition it causes local irri-
tation, which results in congestion
of the mucous membrane lining the
air-passages. This congestion when
long continued passes into chronic
inflammation, or catarrh.
The inflammation gradually
spreads, if the cause continues, and
often passes from the throat into the
ears, where it produces a thickening
of the delicate structures there,
and finally deafness. The mucous
membranes throughout the air-pas-
sages and all their ramiications be-
come thickened, secrete phlegm, and
lose in great part their power Of re-
sistance to the germs Of pneumonia,
diphtheria and other diseases:
The causes of mouth-breathing
are numerous; anything that OBJ
structs or narrows the upper air
passages and vault of pharynx
forces the sufferer to breath
through the open mouth. A defor=
nifty of the nose, the presence Of
"adenoids' or enlarged tonsils may
cause the trouble. Examination for
such conditions should be made
whenever a child is seen to breath
habitualIy with the mouth open, and
as soon as the cause is discovered it
should be removed. So many serious
consequences may follow mouth
breathing that it should never be
allowed to so on a moment after its
cause is ascertained.
One cause that is not often sus-
pected is a deformity of the nose
resulting from the use of improper
nursing bottles by babies, but the
most common is the presence Of ade-
noids.
1t is useless to scold or demonstrate
with mouth-breathing child if the
habit is caused by the air-passages
being blocked by growths that call
for removal. He must breath to
live, and if the legitimate channels
for air are closed by disease, nature
does her next best.

L0NGFELL0W AS A Lad.
A Handsome Boy, Active, Kind-Hearted,
Sensitive and ImpetuOus.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
How many Of our Progressive
Farmer boys and girls know and love
the poet Longfellow? Thousands Of
them, we hope, for while his poetry
does not betoken the highest genius
it is always inspiring and helpful.
Last week-February 27th-the one
hundredth anniversary of his birth
was celebrated throughout the coun-
try, and many articles about him
We're published. The following is
an interesting extract from the
March Century about Longfellow as
a boy:
"Longfellow was very handsome
boy, retiring, without being reserv-
ed, active and eager. He was kind
hearted and affectionate; sensitive,
impressionable, impetuous. He had
blue eyes and chestnut hair his COM
plexioh was delicate; his cheeks were
rosy. His eyes were full of express
sion, and he looked one square in
the face. He was a normal boy, and
a devotee of all boys games. He
snow-balled, coasted, skated, flew
kites, and swan. Sometimes he
would tramp through the woods
with gun, but most of all. he liked
to lie under tree and read.
ITO such a boy the old farm was
enchanted ground. He knew where
the crimson cardinal-fowers bloom
ed, where the largest of the trout
lived in the little brook, where the
robins nested year after year, and
where to set homemade 'box-traps'
for chipmunks along the low stone
walls. He followed the mowers at
haying- time, 'trod' the load, and road
upon it to the great barn. In au-
tumn he enjoyed the gayety of the
corn-husking, watched the spinning
wheel being fed from the heap of
carded wool, and helped to fill the
quills when the household loom was
weaving homespun for clothing for
the men and boys. The love of ma
ture, which was to be thing of
greatness in mis- works and life, was
in the forming. Nowhere would he
more inevitably have learned to love
living things than at Wadsworth
Hall. The woods; the pleasant
reaches of sunlit meadows; toe fields
where he searched for berries; the
pastures, pennyroyal-scented, where
the cattle grazed; the brook, with
it's minnows; the little bridge under
which the pewee built; the river, the
humming song of whose fall was
heard by the boy in the quiet of
these played their part to
make the completeness and beauty of
that conception of nature which was
Longfellow's."

What a Jubilee Is.

Some years ago, before Queen
Victoria's death, and about the
time that the Queens jubilee was to
be celebrated, the following con-
versation between two old Scotcl-
women was overheard one day on a
street corner in London:
"Can you tell me, wumman, what
is it they call jubilee 2"
"Well, it's this" said her neigh
Dor, "When folk has been married
twenty-five years, that's a silver
wudding; and when they had been
married fifty years that's golden
wuddin.' But if the mons dead, then
it's jubilee"

Gently spent the entire day behind
two separate turkey blinds, not a
great distance apart, answering each
others cali. About the close of the
day, tired, cold and worn out, they
both simultaneously emerged from
their improvised shelter, and met on
Way home. As soon as experiences
began to be related and locations
given, it was discovered and realized
that they hadn't heard any turkeys
at all, but were only answering each
others call.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Fue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality OF
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in SC. cuts,
strictly 1oc. and 15c. plugs.
