Judge Webster Recalls
When Congregation Cheered

Speaking of applauding in church
when the speaker especially appeals tc
the audience, Judge Daniel Webster,
who can remember away back into
ancient history little farther than
the average citizen, says that he well
remembers the first cheering he ever
heard while attending church services.
It was along during the close of the
Civil war when he was stationed at
New Orleans. DR.. Newman, who after
wards become a bishop of the Meth
odist church, North, was preaching in
the old Carondolet Methodist church.
Word had reached New Orleans that
morning Of the surrender of Richmond
and in the sermon DR.. Newman ex-
claimed "Thank God for the fall of

To the Editor: The vacant lots
what's the matter with them, or is it
the owners of theml Are they the
kaiser's friends. Or are they in the
habit Of being so selfish. And their
bodies are SO large, they haven't found
where their hearts are located, yet;
now listen, every person who owns a
lot, or looking after any property that
has garden space enough to raise one
bushel of potatoes or SOC of beans, Sec
that you put it in garden stuff before
June LIST, or let some one else. There
are lots of people in town who would
put in more lots if they could get
them and give a third of what they
could raise. / for one would put in a
lot or two if could get them. l tried
to get a lot and offered l-3 but no,
they wanted cash, war prices, too.
Now the owners have had chance to
let their lots out at a l-3 and that a
plenty.
: Now here is the turn in the lane. l
have a suggestion to MAKE. Let us see
how many will be patriotic enough to
do their bit, and it won It be a cent out
of their pockets. For their ground will
be better off than growing up in
weeds. Each and every one who has
ground from a to lot Or more, do
nate the use Of the land to any one
that will put it or at least 13 of said
land, to beans or potatoes, and the Is
is to be donated to the Red Cross next
fall. We have all put in our war gar
den now Let the last week in May
and the first week in June be Red
Cross garden days
And each report to the Journal how
many lots we all put in, and see how
many we can get; now everyone make
a stir tomorrow, and rent those weedy
lots to some one, or advertise them for
Red Cross gardens, and when we see
vacant lot hereafter, we will say the
owner is one Of the kaiser's friends.
And, well you all know what we think
of that class.
/ for one will call for lot or two
to put in for the Red Cross fund. Now

(This Weeks Pollyanna Story)
Fisbit Twizt dearly loved to dance.
All the young men, besides being en-
traneed by her dimply nature agreed
that no one could fox trot like Ffs-
bia and just besieged her with invi-
tations, and if an evening passed
without Fisbia dancing, it was because
there wasn't any dance that evening.
"Fisbit y Said her mother, who
heard her shifting, one day, 'I hear
you have cold. / trust you don I in
tend to go out IN all this weather and
dance, tonighta You'll catch your
death of cold''
But Fisbia went, just the same, and
the next day she found she had con
tracted inflammation of the jarrynx.
ooh, welll" she thought eheerfully,
"even if | lose my voice, LII always
remember what it used to be like" "
And that evening, inflammed jar
rynx and all, she went to another dance
in spite of her mother s warning. She
awoke the next morning with a bad
case of pulmonary fliekers.
"It IS not until something like this
happens to us" she thought hoarsely
but gaily, "that we learn to pity the
poor people in hospitals
Surely, Fsbia," her mother said to
her that evening, "surely you can't
be thinking of going to another dance,
with those pulmonary flickers on top
Of that inflammation of the iarrynx. "
But Fisbia went, and the following
day acute hObbledehoytis set in, and
in a week she was an incurable invalid
on wheels.
ooh, well," she reflected with q
bright smile, "now, at last I'll have
plenty of time to knit.''

The berry picking this year will not fall to the aborng

picking this year is patriotic duty and must be con-

YOUR HEALTH
Adenoids, No. 2.
By ANDREW F. CURR1ER, MD.

IN addition to the adenoids, we
often see enlargement OF the tonsils
and OF the uvula (the little cone
shaped body which hangs at the
entrance to the throat, the entire
opening to the throat being almost
obliterated.
Such children are often STAN
merers, their voice is thick and
lacks resonance, and their intellect
suffers.
Their countenance is dull and ex-
pressionless, their complexion is
bad, their upper lip is retracted,
the septum of their nose DETECTED,
and the glands In their neck en-.
larged.
They are often victims of Group,
hiccough, headache, st, Vitus dance,
nose-bleed, earache and headache,
they suffer constantly from colds or
deafness or weak eyes.
Not all children with adenoids
hGve all these troubles; all have
some of them, some have all Of
them, and most OF them are bene-
fitted when tonsils and adenoids are
removed.
Children may be born with ade-
noids, or they may have them Loon
after birth; and they are more like
ly to be in homes where the hygiene
is faulty. the ventilation poor, the
food unsuitable. and the conditions,
In general, unsanitary.
The child Is not responsible for
all these bad conditions, hence the
more important Is it for those who
brought him into the world to do
all In their power to prevent the
growth OF adenoids or to have them
properly and skilfully treated be-
fore his health Is undermined.
No matter how poor parents NAV
be, there is to-day no excuse for
negiecting the health Of their
children.
There is hardly town of any
size, anywhere. which does not have

proper treatment may be obtained
