Adenoids, No. 1.
By ANDREW F. cURRIER, MD.

The number OF children afflicted
with this disease is so great that
/ have no doubt the question is
often asked by anxious mothers:
rs there any child that is free
from them%
Yes, there are those who haven't
got them, and others who have very
little trouble from them and who will
get over them if they are properly
brought up and have good food and
good surroundings.
But other children are so handi.
capped by them and made so i'll,
that their removal is the only prop.
er course, and this may be very
easily done in most cases.
What are adenoids?
The mucous membrane Of the
throat and nose normally contains
what is called "lymphoid tissue"
which means tissue resembling
lymph glands and lympth tubes.
When this is increased and forms
Jumps which project into the nos
trils or the cavity of the throat,
such Jumps are called adenoids.
They may be no larger than a
pea, or they may be Of greater size
and In punches, like small grapes.
The larger they are, the more
they will obstruct the air passage
in the nose and throat, one who has
them being compelled to breathe
through his mouth instead of his
nose, as he ought to.
The result will be that the mu-
cous membrane will constantly he
dry; dust and germs will find easy
entrance to the mouth; and the de-
yelopment of the child thus afflicted
will be hindered.
Nobody has any monopoly of
adenoids; they occur at all ages.
to the infant and the old man or
woman, but they are most common
and troublesome in children from
eight to twelve.
In children, they are soft: they
absorb poisons readily and furnish
an excellent medium for the culture
and development OF disease germs.
In adults. they are harder, and
bacteria cannot grow so readily
upon them.
Remember that children suffer
most frequently from infectious dis.
eases. and then you can understand
how easy it is to catch them by

means of adenoids and through the
constantly open mouth.
When baby has adenoids, he
cannot breathe freely and has to
stop nursing, frequently, in order
to catch his breath.
So it often happens that such
babies do not get air enough and
their blood is not properly aerated.
Very likely they do not get food
enough, elther-hence their diges.
tion suffers, their sleep is disturbed,
and their entire nutrition ia
affected.
Older children with adenoids are
also unable to breathe properly
while eating; their food is not
thoroughly masticated and they,
too, will suffer with imperfect di.
gestion and poor nutrition. (,
Waking and sleeping, they are
mouth breathers, they snore, they
have bad dreams, and they have no
control over the bladder.
Frequently there is nasal
catarrh, in such cases, the dis.
charge running down upon the lips
and into the throat and stomach:
the appetite disappears, and any;
body can see that the children are
unhealthy and In bad condition.

The Chamber OF Commerce of

ity at large, and as such its object
is to determine what is for the best

In keeping with this object, its Of
ficers have attended each and every
meeting Of the landowners west Of

Gravity District Improvement COM
pany, and are fully advised as to
the objects sought to be obtained
and the manner of going about it,
and they are satisfied that these
landowners are proceeding on good
conservative business lines. and that
their success is assured, provided the
voters of the city grant them a
franchise to run their ditch through
the city.
Its officers have also investigated
the question of running such ditch
through the city and find there are
no good reasons against such action
Boise City, the capital of Idaho. has
a large irrigation canal running
through the city and along the
streets, as we'll as many other cities
and towns in irrigated sections. The
city council has provided for the pro
lection of the city and people in the
ordinance placing the franchise
question on the ballot, and has re
served the right to require any ant
all safeguards necessary for the pro
lection of the city and the inhabit
ants. Therefore the Chamber o
Commerce sees no reason why thu
franchise should not be granted.
The Chamber of Commerce recon
mends to the voters of the city tina
they vote for the franchise and tha
, as large a vote as possible be regis
tered to show the landowners tina
the people OF the city are with then

GOVERNOR W|THYCOMDE
IS THE MAN TO ELECT

Governor Withycombe was nomi-
mated and elected ON a platform of
greater development for Oregon, and
this platform has been consistently
followed during his administration.
He has made particularly striking
record as war governor, and the
splendid spirit shown by Oregon in
all patriotic enterprises has been
faithfully reflected in the firmly pa
triotic stand taken by the states
chief executive on every war issue
that has come up.
It seems that inasmuch as we have
tried Governor Withycombe, and hi
has proved thoroughly efficient, tina
we should retain him in the offic'
that he has filled so ably. He ha
kept all the promises he has made
he has given us a peaceful and eco
nomical administration; and ha
been the capable and conscientiou
servant of all the people. Governo
Withycombe's record is clean, il con
servative; his accomplishments hav
been more worthy than noisy. w
elected him four years ago on trus
on his promises; we can safely re
elect him on his achievements.
