Watch the Children.

Numerous cases of children suffering
from adenoids have been discovered in and
around Abbeville lately, and many oper-
(ations have been performed looking to the
relief of the little patients.
The doctors tell us that a very large per
cent of our children have adenoids. While
these little glands may not Immediately
result in harm to the child, yeti allowed
to remain they may result in permanent
| and serious injury to the child.
A case of Adenoids can almost be dag
nosed without an examination OF the
| throat, the facial expression is a true index
to the trouble. The child becomes listless
loses interest in such things as tits accus-
toned to take interestin, loses its sense OF
hearing to a certain extent, and instead OF
breathing through the nose, breathes
| through the mouth. 1t becomes dull in its
| studies and makes no effort to hold its po-
| sition in classes.
Cases of adenoids have been known to
result in permanent deafness. Sucha case
is attending the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb at Cedar Springs, at present from
this county.
| Some provision should be made looking
to the protection Of the children from these
common ills. The Board Of Health might
pass some regulation by which the lowest
grades of our graded schools could be ex-
amined for cases Of throat, eye and ear
trouble. A great many parents do not rea-
lie the necessity Of having their children
| examined, and it behooves the state to do
for the child what the parent does not rea-
lie as necessary to be done. There is little
| doubt but that much suffering could be al
leviated by the examination Of the eyes OF
the pupils alone. Often headaches are
caused by a need Of eye glasses.
The operation for the removal %ofadenoids
is a very simple n and one that should
be made whenever necessary.
1t is little short Of cruel to allow a little
patient to suffer.from this fungus growth
when a simple operation, fraught with no
danger, would remove it.

A High Dive.

Mat Gay, the high-diver with Barkoots
carnival was alright. In publishing this
account Of the performance Of another
high-diver we do not wish to detract from
his glory at all, for it would be hard to
find a performer with greater Skill n
grace than he. But, for pure, unadultered
nerve, he will have to yield the palm to
Jebby Ware, of Abbeville, who high-dived
at the Grand Opera House, on Monday
night, Nov. Is, before the performance Of
Fluffy Ruffles.
1t took place promptly at S.15 p. m.
o'clock. Manager C%heatham, not knowing
of it long enough beforehand, was unable
to advertise it.
Jebby Ware is a little, black, curly, dog.
He belongs to Louisa Ware, who keeps a
restaurant not far from the Opera House.
Now, do not confound Jebby's act with
the high-dives Of circus puppies. There
was no sheet, firmly held by men, for hin
fall in. He dived straight into q row OF
chairs. : j.
Neither were there any musicians on
hand to herald his descent with a blare
of trumpets. He had to yell his own ac-
compartment while he was in the air. 1t
might be mentioned, also, that the accom-
paniment continued for some time after he
had hit the bottom.
The dive was taken without any hesltaE
ton on Jebby's part. Promptly at 8.l5
o'clock he ran into the right-hand peanut
gallery box, and after trotting around 1t
once or twice to make sure that he was in
good physical trim, leaped into the pit.
Naturally, as this WIS his first attempt
in this line of business, he felt rather sore
for several days, but through the kind at
tentions of his mistress. he is now able to
Jump around nearly as lively as usual.
Louisa does not want him to dive any
more, but, then, you can't tell what these
professional performers will do.

Or. T. W. Sloan Arouse Greenville.

In a series of sermons on the vices OF the
city of Greenville DR.. T. w. Sloan is
awaking great interest on the part o.
Greenville people. The G%reenville Daily
News has published the gist OF these SER
mons for the past two Sundays.
We are not to make the inference that
morality is at a low ebb in GreenVille.
Greenville is probably the peer OF any
city Of her size in the State morally speak
ing. The purpose is to better conditions
as they exist.
DR.. Sloan is an earnest and zeal Gus
worker, and also a forceful speaker, and
his labors in Greenville are meeting with
success.

Editor In Town.

Editor AM. Carpenter, of the Anderson
Mail, was in town last Sunday night. He
is the best man and the best editor alive
today. Always good hundred, ever fair
and as warm as the sun, he has the best

The only objection which we have to
write against him is that he makes such

Compulsory Insurance.

How would you like to be forced to take
insurance whether you wanted it or not ?
How would compulsory insurance suit you?
Germany has had just such insurance
for twenty-seven years and it is reported
to be a success, 81 much so that the consul
has called our attention to the law.
Physicians are engaged by the insur-

TWO PUSH BALL GAMES
MAY ENLIVEN HOLIDAY
B, selling, five furlongs:

Through a suggestion made yesterday
it is possible that on Washington's
birthday, February %, Tournament
park, Pasadena, may be the scene of an
afternoon of rare sport.
1t has been proposed that two games
of push ball, the sport which proved so
attractive on New Years day, be
played.
The plan mapped out is to organize
pushball teams among Throop Institute
and high school of Pasadena to play
on Washington's birthday. 1t was sug-
gested that the Throop-high school
game play the first half of their game,
starting at o'clock.
The second game will be played be-
tween the Circle Stars and the Black
Cross teams The. second half of the
first game would follow, and the second
half of the mounted game would finish.
1t was suggested that the receipts be
divided, one-third to. the mounted team,
one-third to the school teams and one
third to the Tournament association.

Exquisite Special Decorations of

of Exposition
ociety day at the auto show.

Society day at the auto show.
This is the day that one of the great
climaxes of the show will be reached.
Great crowds, vastly outnumbering
those of any previous day, are expected
to throng the white lanes and hand
somely decorated booths that have
transformed the basement of the Ham
burger building into a fairyland. The
free list will be entirely abandoned,
and the visitors will consist in largest
percentage of those who are devoteeS
of the social world. Dress suits and
gowns; both day and evening, will rule
supreme, while the evening will really
assume the proportions of a great so
cial function in exclusive full dress.
The ban has been removed from all
dealers that has heretofore obtained,
resulting up to the present time in an
entire absence of any effort at special
decoration, and for today the dealers
will be allowed to follow their individ-
ual desires and fancies in making their
booths more attractive for the society
crowd. Cut flowers of every conceiva-
HE kind and color, enhanced by the use
of hundreds of yards of dainty ribbons,
are expected to complete the trans
formation of the show room into real
fairy bower, and justify the oft pub
lished assertion that the Los Angeles
show of 1909 has proved the most ex-
quisitely staged affair of it's kind in the
United States.
Early yesterday morning the crowds
began coming, and a steady stream
passed down the main stairway to the
show, increasing in volume as the af-
ternOon approached, until hardly q
square foot of available space was left.
During the evening the crowds came in
undated number, hundreds of persons
who had visited the show on number
of previous occasions returning for still
another look at the pretty show. The
total attendance for the day was far
In excess of any previous day, attest
ing an unsatistied appetite on the part
of the public for anything that Smacks
of motoring.
So popular has the show proven and
so insistent has the demand become on
the part of a large number of persons
who have not had an opportunity to see
as much of the show as is desired, it is
being seriously proposed that the show
continue over into next week for a
number of days-perhaps Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The matter
Is already being taken up by members
of the executive committee, and the
dealers will probably be asked today to
sign a petition that this step be taken.
Anticipating the circulation of this pc
tition, The Herald yesterday canvassed
q considerable number of the dealers
and found them of one accord on a
continuance of the show A vastly
larger number of prospective buyers
has developed than was ever anticipat-
ed bv any of the Dealers and they feel
that now everything is permanently in
stalled, and the crowds educated re
