ONE IN TEN BEAR
 ADENOID HANDICAP
(Kansas City star.)

Adenoids are handicapping more than 10 per cent of the American chil- dren in attaining normal, healthful development to manhood, according to a recent extensive survey in popu- lation centers conducted by the United States Public Health Service.
 The results of the medical exami- nations conducted by the draft boards indicate that a considerable proportion of the defects there discovered were unquestionably due to the failure of parents to pay proper attention to the physical defects in young children. Excluding defective tenth, experience throughout the county shows that ade- holds are among the most frequent of the physical defects in children.
 Adenoids may be prevented, or cured after development. As one of it's con- tributions to improve the nations health and strengthen it's manhood the public service has prepared book let on adenoids for distribution to par ents and school authorities. It tells the parents how the first appearance of adenoids may be detected by the labored mouth breathing of the child, particularly while sleeping. Since na- ture intended that we should breathe through the nose, a provision by which the air thus breathed is purified and warmed before entering the lungs, 1t is evident that mouth breathing re- suits in impurities getting into the air passages. The dangers of this alone are many, but there are others. often grave ones. The child with adenoids is almost invariably underweight. hol- low chested and stoop shouldered. due to the labored breathing. Facial de- formity is another result. The upper teeth protrude, are crowded out of shape and become a fertile field for the development of Riggs disease. The children suffer from frequent colds. develop chronic nasal catharrh and

 As Graham stepped on the porch, he was amazed, not toesay confounded, to find himself looking squarely into the barrel of an automatic.
 Strador told Graham to get out and stay out, at the same time keeping the officer closely covered. Graham sent for endorsements and was supplied

considerable delay so Assistant Post master Callahan last night suggested that it might be better for the house wives in the neighborhood to get to- gether and make up an order that will run into cases of each article, and have one member of the pool do the order ing and receive the goods and make the neighborhood distribution. All goods, of course, will be delivered to the person ordering by the postal de- partment.
 Regarding Postage To figure up your postage, count it four cents a pound for food and con tainer and add three cents for each package of 125 pounds or less. Thus a can of l2 pounds of bacon. weighing r. pounds. would cost, in addition to the above price, 4x17 plus 3-1 cents postage.
 The postoffice has as yet received no copy of the order reported to have been issued in Washington yesterday providing that the postal rates charged l in outside zones be the same as in the girst zone, the difference to be paid by i the war department to the postoffice department out of the sale proces:d-. l This order was reported by wire from Washington yesterday and viii probably soon reach the local post office. The putting into effect of this order, said to have been issued, would affect a very material saving in th;s
 district in postage rates as Phoenix is
 in the fourth parcels post zone from i Fl Paso, and the method of computing postage given above is based on fourth zone rates.
 Table of Weight and Cost The following table, received yester- i day by the local postoffice, gives the

The city commission, through it's special army food purchasing Ageni:, Fred j. Elliott, stated last night that it was desirous of meet ing all grocers this evening at 7:3o o'clock at the city hall.

IRaSCIBLE MEN OF GENIUS
William Morris and Charles Reade
Notable for Their Explosive Tenn
pers and Kindly Hearts.

In some recent "reminiscences MT
Henry q Barnwell says that the TWO
literary men of his acquaintance VINO
possessed the greatest capacity for IN
dirnofion we're William Morris and
| Charles Reade. Morris was perhaps
the more explosive; but his tempera-
mental outbursts were soon over ana
had rarely any sequel. The violence
of Charles Reade. though frequently
il. TOO. passed like summer tempest,
was sometimes the precursor OF
prolonged literary or legal battle; for
he had passion for litigation.
( Assassination is too good for him;
/ the mlscreant ought TO be boiled in
oil! :" Mr.. Barnwell once heard Morris
roaring as he came into his presence.
| Inquiry brought out the fact that the
/ villainy for which such punishment
was deemed suitable was the crime OF
placing the pockets of new suit in
| their conventional position Instead OF
arranging them in novel and inter-
estng manner, suggested by Morris.
| But the unimaginative tailor was not
| boiled; moreover, when, shortly af-
| terward, he fell into difficulties, it was
! Morris who advanced him money
| enough to set him on his feet again.
Possibly Reade, who also was gem
| erous-hearted man. might at need have
shown equal magnanimity toward a
cobbler who aroused his ire. The man
/ had been recommended by his friend,
| Wilkie Collins, and the next time the
| two noveists met Reade lifted his
voice from afar.
"Confound youl" he shouted lras-
chilly. "That cobbler you sent to me
/ is fraud-a rascal-a rogue-a
! triple-dyed villain He ought to be
choied with his own shoe pegs"
Wilkie Collins. laughing, attempted
some defense of his protege; but
! Reade would not listen. Lifting his
| hands to heaven like an Oriental call
/ ing down the vengeance of the gods.
| he declared impressively in true east
| ern style:
MAY the heels of the conscience
less wretch who recommended such
cobbler be blstered and may his
! Joints be cramped. May bunions WIS.,
/ it his great toe and cOrns sit upon his
| little one. and the wrath of the enemy

Then. satisfied with the achievement

The Tunisian Posts.

The postal courier service of Tunis
which ran between the years 1855 and
1873 is described in the "Revue Tuni-
sienne" by Mr.. Marcel Gandolphe. The
service covered the distance between
Tunis and Susa up to 1868, and then it
was extended to Sfax. The distance
between Tunis and Susa-a dangerous
Journey over not too easy country
was performed in "a hours and at one
stretch Only once was the Tunis
courier behind his time, by u hours,
and that was the result of hair-raising
adventure. In 1864 times were GER
tainly not good for couriers and way
laying on the road was not uncommon.
At that period there were only two
running out of the three Mohammeds,
who for many years had shared the
duty. Boutefeu, Becassine and lie
Ciameau were names bestowed upor
them, the first because of his vivacity,
the second because of his svelte ap-
Dearance, and the third because of his
stature The story of these dauntless
three of the Tunisian postal service
in the light of the latest aerial postal
innovations is of almost prehistoric
flavor.

New Source of Petroleum.

The existence Of petroleum, it is re-
ported, has been definitely established
near Punta Arenas and in the north
west of Tierra del Fuego. The fire.
quency of the emanations of natural
gas makes 1t probable that the petrol
ferrous deposits are large. The geolo-
gists have indicated to certain pro-
posed drilling companies the most ap-
propriate places for drilling. The
Chilean government takes no part in
the actual drilling, but will continue to
further scientific explorations with q
view to giving all aid to the search for
petroleum.

THAT PREMIER LAWSUIT

If a bomb had dropped in the middle of Main-street it would have occasioned no greater surprise than was exper- fenced when the news was published last week that Maurice w. Bacon of Spokane had brought suit against K K. Ne Il for half interest in the Premier.
 To the people of Hyder the interest, more or less selfish interest, in the suit, lies in the effect it will have on getting out the ore and developing the property; in other wo ds, what will be the payroll while the suit is going on. The town has not yet reached such pro- portions as to be unaffected by crew of men being laid off.
 So far as influencing the value of other properties is concerned the suit will have no effect whatever, afd prop erty owners are not worrying about 1t. It will simply give the camp some ad- ditionai advertising from new angle.
 The Miner has it's own opinion as to the right and wrong ot the matter, but while the case is before the court, pre- fers to reserve criticism. The policy to adopt now is that made famous by our revered pres dent, one of 'watchful waiting"

ANo HER BOOST FOR RYDER

 A wharf is needed at Stewart just now, says the Prince Rupert Daily News. Both the Dominion and British Columbia Governments are fully aware of the facts and have expressed them selves as ready to do their part in pro- viding it. Unfortunately, however, there is disagreement over some de- tail. We do not know which is at fault. We do not care which it is, What we do know is at there is a great need and the work has already been held up many months while the red tape is being unwound. While Stewart is waiting, Hyder Is having a boom. The Americans are taking ad- vantage of the situation. They are, with their usual energy, building up the American border town while the Canadian town is asleep, At a time like this and under the peculiar coudi- tions that exist it is to be hoped the governments will get together quickly and See that suitable wharf is erect ed at once and that everything is done to give Stewart chance in the fight for existence as a, mining town and supply centre for the Salmon River and other mining points up Portland Canal

Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco prints an interesting inter- view with an experienced engineer" concerning Salmon river mines, and much of which that publications in informant speaks is in accord with the facts. He makes one ser'ons blunder however. He is quoted as saying: "The Premier bonanza is a siiver-lead ore. the high grade containing 300 ounces in silver and 30 per cent lead.' The public have been trained to believe that everything appearing in the Mining and Scientific Press is authentic, and seldom indeed has this confidence been misplaced. It has been the aim of the publishers to produce publication that the mining fraternity could swear by. For this reason they will be interested in learning that the typical high grade of the Salmon river district is strictly dry ore. As matter of fact, the lead content of the Premier high grade is one-tenth of one per cent.

Their first thought is to find fault
with the Governnl ent and the country.
They are fit and fertile subjects for
the LW.W., the Bolshevist, the agitator
and the demagogue.
There is Only one movement in
America to encourage thrift. 1t is the
Governments plan Tor the sale of
Thrift and War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. There
is no nobler endeavor. 1t stimulates the
individual to have a solicitude about
the future. 1t makes the citizen who
owns War Savings Stamps or Certifi-
Gates a partner in the Government,
makes him part owner in his country
it gives him a new interest in the flag.
Thrift enables families to own their
own homes. Russia joined Bolshevism
because her people were landless. Ger
many resisted B0lshevism because her
farm tenantry is at the vanishing point
Nobody ever heard of any threat of
Sovietism among the thrifty people of
Denmark, Holland and Belgium. Mer
never plot against their own homes.
They explode no bombs on their own
hearthstones. The greatest antidote
against the mad illusions and wild hal
fluctuations which dreamers are seek
ing to import from Europe and trans
plant in America Is that thrift will
stimulate home ownership and lift the
nneducated out of ignorance.

RED Ct ROSS SEALS
All Persons Urged to Use Them on Let
tiers, Packages, Etc.

The Red Cross Seal - as millions of
Americans know it today, is an agent
OF happiness ard health. 1t was
originated in 1907 by Miss Emily p.
BisSell of Wilmington, Delaware, who
learned through Jacob Riis of some
what similar seals that were sold in
Norway for the purpose Of raising
funds with which to fight tuberculosis
Miss Bissell persuaded the American
Red Cross OF take up the idea with the
result that seals were sold in limited
number of communities in 1905 The
sale yielded a revenue Of approximate
ly $1,000. The Red Cross then decided
to issue the seal each year and to turn
the proceeds over to the National Tu-
berculosis Association and it's affi-
lated societies for the purpose Of fl
nancing the campaign against tuber-
culosis. The number Of seals sold In
America increased by leaps and bounds
until in 1917 the total reached 10000
600.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December LIST. More
thar half q billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the seals
