STRONG LANGUAGE.

A small girls father, unmindful OF
the proverb OF little pitchers. one day
in her presence, in moment OF
evaporation, made use of the express
sive epithet, "Ratsp which means
nothing and yet so much. Later on
in the day the 4-year-old dropped her
doll with somewhat disastrous effects.
Rats" exclaimed the little one, in
imitation of her father.
She was promptly rebuked by her
mother for using such vulgar and
unladylike expression.
She received her mild scolding with
out a murmur, and, after thinking the
matter over carefully, came to. the
fountain head of wisdom and said:
Mamma, you say it's naughty and
rude for little girls to say 'Ratsp when
they're angry, but don't you think
they might say Mouse'?"-Public

To Mothers Who are Keen
About Keeping Baby Well

At this season of the year many
people suffer from an insufficient
amount of fresh air. In our northern
states, in order to maintain a proper
amount of heat, it is absolutely
necessary to spend many hours in
closed houses more or less air tight.
The tendency is that in an effort to
keep warm we shut out the fresh air
As a result, colds, Group, bronchitis
and pneumonia sometimes called
dirty air diseases) are prevalent this
month.
Just what effect this lack of fresh
air has on the body can be explained
easily. Any observing person knows
that no matter how much fuel is put
into a stove the fire will not burn and
there will be no heat given off unless
the drafts are open to allow the free
entrance of fresh air.
In the same way the human body
requires fresh air in order to produce
heat and energy. We may provide
sufficient fuel i'll the shape of food
but if we do not provide plenty OF
fresh air there will not be produced
sufficient heat and energy to keep the
body in an active healthy condition.
But even II child is given plenty
Of fresh air at home and at school,
he will not be able to make use OF
it if his air passages are clogged. You
know a fire will not burn in the stove
if there is not All open passage for the
fresh air, so we take away the ashes
and clinkers that are preventing its
free entrance before we expect the
fire to burn.
Adenoids and Tonsils.
The same fact is true OF the human
body, we must take away any growth
that is clogging the air passages, The
most common growths in children
are adenoids and enlarged tonsls. A
couple of weeks ago | examined a
child whose air passages were so
cloggcd with enormous tonsils and
profuse growth of adenoids that she
was unable TO breathe through her
nose at all. As a result, she had to
keep her mouth open in order to get
air. As further result, her face was
becoming misshapen, Physicians rec
ognize a typical "adenoid face" with
protruding teeth, extracted nostrils,
open mouth and a general pinched
expression. All this has been caused
by an effort of nature to readjust its
breathing apparatus.
Frequently mothers ask me il |
would advise the removal OF adenoids
and enlarged tonsils. The answer is:
"All adenods should be removed and
also the tonsils if they are diseased
or permanently enlarged" For these
diseased tonsils not only plug the air
passages, but they form a means OF
entrance to an army of disease germs
Many an adult owes the pains of
rheumatism and the misery of heart
disease to the fact that his tonsils
were neglected when he was child
The change following the removal
of these growths is surprising. The
child begins to take an interest in the
things around him, becomes stronger
and healthier, so is able to resist
Gods. In fact. he soon becomes a
normal child.-In Woman's World

Be sure to put your toys away;
For if you don't the Sneak-n-Scoop

Upon the floor and on the ground,

Of all the toys you've left around
Not any of them will be found.

front have shown concern about
the imminnce OF the American
army's entry into the fighting by
offering rewards for the produc-

recently put the price of 400
marks on the first American
soldier brought dead or alive
into his lines.
This information has been
disclosed by the diary of a Prus-
sian sergeant of the Twenty
third Reserve Regiment. He
wrote at the end of July:
I'VE are supposed to have
Americans opposite us for some

Portuguese on our right. The
