r,HE tonsils are Emphatic glands

THE tonsls are Emphatic glands. Their
L function is to protect the body against
the great number of microbes which collect
In the mouth They are also connected with
the functions which promote the growth
and development of the body.
Diseased tonslls are constant menace
to the body. proving an open door Tor tne
entrance of harmful organisms Tubercu-
losis germs and other disease-producing bao-
terra often find their way into the body
through the open portal provided by as
eased tonsils. The tonslls harbor disease
germs, such rs pneumonia and diphtheria,
also tho germ of Influenza or grip. These
germs are lying there ready to develop
whenever the vital resistance Is lowered
by cold, exhaustion, indigestion or any
other depressing cause. Diseased tonsils
are often n cause OF rheumatism and prob
ably other serious maladies.
Tonsils which frequently become raw or
inf1amed or which are constantly enlarged
with pockets full of pus should be prompt
ly removed.
The question is often asked "Will not
removal of the tonsils change the voice or
spoil the singing or speaking voice?" The
operation will change tho voice. II VIII
improve It, The tonsil should not be re-
moved unless SO badly diseased that it has
ceased to be of any value TO the body
and has become a source of injury.

The TOnsils

Washing the feet with borated camphor-
ated soap and keeping them warm and dry
are necessary aids 20 recovery. Electric
heating pads have been used in the trenches
with success.
The alternate hot and cold footbath IL
an excellent remedy for restoring the vi
tallty OF the injured tissues. The hot water
should be as hot as can be borne, and the
cold water as cold as can be obtained
Allow the feet to remain half a minute IN
tho hot water and fifteen seconds IN the
cold water. Alternate ten or twelve thnes'
Apply this treatment twice daily.
The mold referred to abounds In straw
and stable litter and, hence, dalryrnen anu
tbose who work In stables should take care
to wash their feet several times week
with the dsinfecting soap above mentioned
or some similar preparation

Back to Sorghum!

The good od-fashioned sorghum is prov
ing itself boon to, humanity in these days
This is prepared mich like sugar cane. u
is cut down from the plant, bruised in the
mil. .and then made into table or cooking
syrup During the Civil War days the
stress of times brought about its extensive
cultivation. One hundred and fifty gallons
was then the record production per acre
but it is expected that our increased scien
tflc knowledge will be able to outstrip this
record, In France and Belgium just a,
present the sorghum plant has been made
to push its way through any ground where
climatic conditions allowed. I'll is hoped
that the humble plant may contribute
largely TO the building up of the little Bel
gian and French children.

To Clean Ivory Furniture

70 The EDITOR OF W0WdhS PdOe.
Dear Madam Please inform me IN the
EVENING LEDGER which Is the best way OF clean
ting an ivory bedroom set. Mrs) VI. 5.
Ivory bedroom furniture can be cleaned
with the very purest of white soap and
little cold water. The soap is applied on
soft clean CLOTH Just as some creamy
cleaning polish might be applied Very little
water is used, as this will streak the furni-
ture The secret of cleaning Is to do only
o little piece at a time, drying that and
polishing It with a soft piece OF clean
chamois before you go to the next spot
Always be sure TO take up the moisture as
soon as you apply the cloth to the wood.

AT FIRST it was planned to give these
"A glove vests only to the men exposed
to extreme cold. But soon the other men
discovered them and began to clamor.
The garments weigh only from seven to
nine ounces and are Invaluable in the
trenches, because insects do rot lodge in
them as much as they do in wool
The demand today Is enormous. The
Jackets sell for from sixty-fve cents to
$l.25, which money pays the destitute
women who make them. There are I,enty
of workers, but the need for the old kid Is
great. Any woman or man who has old
gloves, no matter how worn, torn or
soiled; old leather belts. furniture covers
etc, could not find n better way to use
them than to send them to Miss Cox, who
| can be reached at Chancery lane, Lon
don. Bits of old fur, too. will be well
comed as these are used to make gloves

Are Wells Worn In Evening?

TO the Editor OF WonlnH'S Page:
, Dear Madam---ls Il correct to wear wells in
the evening? Also what is the best style OF on
graVing for calling cards for n girl Of seven
teen? Which Is the newest and which is al
ways In good taste? II a.
II is not considered good form TO wear
face wells after 6 o'clock. That is. if a
person Is starting out at that hour. or
course, If one has been out all afternoon
and does not return home until there
is no reason why the veil should be taken
off. But when preparing to go anywhere
in the evening face veil should never be
worn over a hat.
Old English lettering Is about the best
style for visiting cards and is very good
looking and the newest OF course script.
though older in style. is always in good
taste.

How may one prevent three moHths' old
bnby from vomiting its food very soon after
eating? MOTHER.
Those who handle the little one are often
to blame for its misfortune. Tossing the
baby up and down, jogging It upon the
knee or placing It over the shoulder and
patting It upon the back just after its meal
are abuses which conduce to make IL throw
up its food. II a baby has a tendency TO
vomiting soon after eating, II should he
allowed to remain quietly in recumbent
position for a time. More than likely the
cause Is n too large intake Of food or too
rap,d feeding.

Frost Rite

What is the treatment for frost bite!
II. a. y.
Extensive experience in the trenches dur
ing the European war showed that lack Of
cleanliness of the feet Is an important pre-
disposing cause of frost bite Moisture and
overnight shoes are also contributing causes.
In bad cases there has been found fungus
similar to the mold which sometimes grows
on meat and bread.

That BuStle FrOck

Buttons are running riotously up and
down the back of the hustle frock that
has become almost as popular as 1t was
predicted to become. The buttons begin at
the back of the collar and proceed straight
down to the tucked-up drapery that forms
the hustle. This is just a blind, of course.
The dress really fastens in very conven-
lent place-at one side of the front perhaps.
But the buttons are there just the same,
making the frock just as chic as you please.

manufactured into windproof waistcoats.
TT WAS Miss Mary Cox, ane English
woman, who first conceived the idea of
collecting old kid gloves and making of
them windproof waistcoats and vests for
soldiers and sailors. There were persons

Of this stands in Chancery lane, London.

Not only have thousands of these wind

During the next hour the man
watcher the cabaret bill with an eX-
pansive smile. Had he not persInded
the prettiest and youngest OF the en-
tertainers to let him drive her home
at three o'clock in the morning? His
friends would be jealous of his con-
quest, for the petite charmer had a
reputation for ignoring all attempts at
acquaintance He credited his success
to his family name-perhaps little
to his good looks. He almost purred
with satisfaction and ordered another

1t disappointed him to have the girl
step into his car as if an expensive Ii
