ADENOIDS.

We find tendency to adenoid
growths in some families in whom the
nose is so shaped that the nostrils are
narrow Sits. 1t is generally admit
ted that the real cause lies in the fact
that the proper use of the nose is not
Recognized by parents and that the
children are VIGOROUSLY neglected in
this respect In short, the nose is the
chief organ of respiration and chill
dren must be taught to breathe
through the nostrIls.
A great many persons are under the
Impression that the nose is only the
seat of smell, whereas IT should more
rightly be regarded as an accessory
organ of respiration or breathing. The
moment this is appreciated, together
with the fact that without air life is
impossible. we can estimate the i'm
portance of this subject.
1t might be supposed that. although
mouth breather. the child would be
able to take in a sufficient supply of
oxygen (the life giving element i'm
str) for all the demands of the body
but this is not so. The air must pass
through the nasal passages because
this organ Is supplied by nature with
the necessary apparatus for warming,
nlterlng ana mOistening the air be-
fore 1t enters the throat and lungs.
When, therefore. the nose is obstruct-
ed, and the child breathes through the
mouth, the cold. dusty and dry air
coming in contact with the delicate
coverings of the upper air passages
Oarynx. bronchial tubes, etc.) gives
rise TO Inflammation of these parts,
and we have various sore Threats,
hacking coughs, attacks of bronchitis
and the like.
This is a point have tried to bring
out above and will emphasize now:
The body does not depend altogether
for its nourishment upon the food we
consume, but it is absolutely neces-
sary to get the proper amount of
oxygen. The outh-breathing child
is not properly aerated; he does not
get enough oxygen, nor does he get it
in the right way. over and over again
advice is sought for children whose
food does not seem to digest. who do
not thrive" who remain weak and
puny. and in whom II is found that
the nasal obstruction is so pronounced
as to interfere seriously with their
health. and after removal of adenoid
growths their physical and mental
condition rapidly improves.
Some authorities believe that there
are instances in which an override
velopment of glandular tissue exists
at birth, and that this may account for
some cases OF "snuffies" in recently
born babies.

Parson of Panamint," the young lion
hearted shepherd of a strange ap-
pearing flock, the friend of the
friendless, the broken-hearted, the
rough miner and the sodden derelict.
To the ones to whom life has been
shorn of its pretty adornments and
amenities, comes this six-foot stall
wart, and his tragic life makes a
screen drama that is incomparably
fascinating.
Into this part Dustin brings a
compromising compassion and a
noble-hearted tenderness that wildly
contrasts with the fighting bob-cat'
spirit that also animates this re.
markable role. It is Dustin Farnurn
masterpiece.
