WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept %
The vastness of the problem which
Russia has to face in maintaining her
self by the side of her Allies in the
great world war is nowhere better ex-
emplifed than in the story Of the
Trans-siberian railroad. When it Is
remembered that in normal times, 1t
takes mail train thirteen days to
make the run from Vladivostock to
Moscow. and that the total distance
between the two cities is 5,991 miles,
it will be seen what tremendous
haul is required for very large per-
centage of the munitions which Russia
must have to wage her war. In this
connection, the following bulletin, just
issued by the National GEOGRAPHIC
Society from its headquarters IN
washington, is Of interest.
Few people realize how great some
of the difficulties are which the Rus
sian government has to face in keep
ing its armies in the field, provisioned
and munitioned. These difficulties are
strikingly exemplified by the story OF
the Trans-Siberian railroad. The dis
lance from the Pacific terminus at
vIadivstock to Moscow Is 1891 miles,
and to Petrograd 5,4S1. In the days
before the war, when the line was
well equipped and not unduly burden
ell with traffic, the fastest express
train required nine days to make the
run. while ordinary mail trains, which
probably made better time than the
best freight time now can be, took
thirteen days. The frst-class fare on
the Trans-Siberian between MOSCOW
and Vladivostock was approximately
$3.50
"Much of the Siberian road
J., still single track, and the tremen-
aously heavy traffic of the past three
wears has levied a ehavy toll on both
equipment and roadbed, with the result
that it is reported to be in far from
prime condition. While in the main
grades are fair, yet is not to be expect
ed that on q road Of such length these
could be compared to the grades OBJ
tanned on our principal lines The re-
suit is comparatively short trains,
many engines, and slow progress.

ADENOIDS
ADENOIDS

Among the common defects Of child
rem those of the nose, throat and ear
probably hold first place and of these
adenoids are perhaps the most serious.
It is estimated that one in every seven
or eight school children, between five
and fifteen, suffer from adenoids.
Adenoids consist of soft vascular It's
sue situated behind the soft palate
between the nose and throat. 1t is
normal unless overgrown. If over
grown the nasal passage is more or
less closed and the child cannot
breathe properly. For this reason an
adenoid child breathes part or all the
time with the mouth open. Mouth
breathing is not bad habit that the
child has acquired, but indicates that
he can not secure air in a nomal man.
ner through the nose.
Adenoids are more likely to be first
noticed between the ages Of three and
six years. After puberty they tend
to disappear and are seldom found in
adults. Because of this fact fact many
parents and some physicians prefer
to allow nature to remove the obstruc-
ton by her own methods. The child
will tout grow" this or that is COM
mon expression among such indiyid-
uals. AS a matter of fact adenolds will
do their work before they are abb
sorbed spontaneously. Unless remov-
ed at the proper time they leave a train
of results from which the child will
never recover.
Children with adenoids usually poss-
ess less physical resistance than other
children. They have frequent colds
and are more subject to throat and
ear troubles. They make slower prog
ress in school, are not as well develop
ed physically and are less bouyant and
playful than the normal child.
Adenoids ought to be discovered and
removed before they do their damage.
We are now examining the school
children of Sumter county for adenoids
and other physical defects. Parents
will be notified as to the results. Those
who receive notices should have their
child examined by competent ply
stefan.
Adenoids that are sufficiently large
to interfere with breathing through
the nose should be removed.
The operation is very simple and
without danger.

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
