Perhaps the most common of all con-
dItions in children that interfere seriously
with health are troubles of the nose and
throat. The mother who lovingly presses
her baby to her breast while In the at
OF nursing, thus interfering with its
breathing, does not realize that she may
be laying the foundation for future dis
tress to her child that may affect it
throughout its entire life.
As every one Is aware, the nose is but
partially developed at birth. assuming
shape and form only with the general
growth of the body. That portion Of the
nose which We see Is the least OF 1t. The
most important part. the part with which
we breathe, Is inside, and is most in
timately connected with the development
of the brain, and, therefore, of intelli-
gence; with the ears, and, therefore.
with our sense OF hearing; with the
proper formation Of the mouth, and,
therefore, with the growth of the teeth
with the lungs, and therefore, with a
sufficient supply Of oxygen, upon which
life depends.
In an infant, the nasal passages are
extremely small, whereas the glands at
the back Of the nose and in the throat
are large. The least thing that inter-
feres with the intake and output of air
through these narrow passages Affects
the general health. and more particular
ly the condition OF these glands.
Nature has provided an abundance of
glands in this location at birth, because
children are peculiarly susceptible to air.
borne diseases By that I mean to those
diseases of early childhood SO well known
to all OF us, such as measles, chicken
pox. whopping cough, diphtheria, etc, and
which are due to germs that are carried
about in the air. These glands are ma
lures sentinels that guard the passage
way to the lungs and blood and protecl
the body against the invasion of these
germ diseases, to which the tender bodies
OF children are SO liable to succumb. As
we grow older and stronger, and are
more able to resist the action of germs,
these glands in the nose and throat
shrink, because we no longer have the
great need for them we did In childhood.

CARL J. KEPNER
Well Known Local Man, Takes Agency
for the Standard Chandler Auto
In This Community.

Carl j. Kepner, manager Of the Men.
del company, 1912 Chapline street,
has accepted the agency for the well
known Chandler car. manufactured by
the Chandler Motor Car company OF.
Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.. Kepner will rep
resent the firm In the Wheeling dis.
trict as a side issue with his regular.
business.
Despite the fact that he has. only
had the agency less than a month he
has sold several of the late. model cars
to Wheelingites. The Chandler autos
are among the best cars in the market
today and are particularly graceful
machines and are practically silent IN
operation.
The essential point OF the Chandler
seven passenger touring car Is the
fact that 1t can perhaps be operated
with less consumption Of gasoline 10
the mile than any similar sized auto.
mobile in the market. 1t has been
demonstrated with the cars sold BY
Mr.. Kepner in this community that
an average of sixteen miles can he
made on a gallon Of gasoline, which is
a splendid record for this billy sec,
ton.
