ing Journal reporter OF the many Inn
portant actions taken by the conven-
ton.
Briefly the convention placed the
Logion-it now has a membership OF
10000 and will have double that
number soon-squarely behind the
government and its institutions. While
not police organization the Legion
accepts the responsibility for the de-
fense OF the nation.
The convention also proclaimed for
war upon alien slackers who can
celled their first citizenship papers to
avoid going into service.
The Legion demands that every
foreign language publication carry its
reading matter in English as we'll as
It's publication language, the English
translation appearing in a parallel
column.
The convention demands the over
hauling OF the bureau OF vocational
education and war risk insurance.
Universal training was endorsed and
general staff 20 be composed OF West
Point and National Army men fifty
fifty. A large standing army was de-
nounced
On the bonus question the conven-
ton recommended to Congress that
some actin be taken TO compensate
the men who made sacrifices by enter

at home and drew increased wages.
but the recommendation left the size
OF the bonus to Congress.
Provision was made for the estab-
lIshmcnt OF an auxiliary to be COM

TAKING OFF TRAINS

The coal shortage Is causing sus
pension OF railroad service on the Mil
waukee road. This system Is affected
more than any other OF the centra
west systems.
Among the trains that have beer
taken off is the Copper Country Limit
ed, the train that ran from Chicago
Calumet via the Copper Range road
II made its last trip on Monday.
In order to accommodate patron
between Claiming and McKeever, e
train is being run between those tw
points and this gives better seryic
20 this part OF the country as a person
can leave Crystal Falls every weel
day and be sure of getting to Amas,
and back via the st. Paul the same
day.
Many trains have been taken OF
on other parts OF the system and or
other systems there has been a sus

THE PRINT SITUATION


The newspapers OF the nation have
been hit so hard by the unwarranted
increase In the price OF news print
during the past few weeks that many
OF them are threatened with ruin ana
every paper, big or little. has had TO
change it's methods OF business and
curtail its use of print,
Press reports last Monday told or
print being sold at mill at a price OF
$3.50 per ton. This is an increase dur.
ing the month OF November of 100 per
cent. In 1916 The Diamond Drill con.
tracted for it's print for year at a
price of $4s.50 per ton SO our readers
may Judge what we are up against
with this very great increase from that
price to the one reported during tho
week.
The wise publishers are taking time
by the forelock and curtailing In size
as well as increasing in price. The
Diamond Drill is no exception to the
rule. We hope that It will not be
necessary for us to curtail below the
eight pages that we have regularly
issued but in order to play safe we are,
going to, hereafter, fashion our paper
to the amount OF advertising and lcgai
work carried
In addition we will increase the sub.
scription price of The Diamond Drill
to $500 per year, the increase TO take
effect Jan. /. We hope that this In
crease will be but temporary and that
year from now we may announce a
return TO the old price which has pre-
vailed in this Office for nearly 33 years
In addition we are going to grade
our advertising rates so that our reg
ular advertiser who carries an ad 52
weeks in the year will get an advant-
age over the advertiser who comes In
occasionally when he thinks Il advan-
tageous to him. Regular advertisers
who carry $40 inches or more of ad-
vertising per year will get the old rate
of 10 per inch net. The occasional
advertiser will be asked 20 cents per
inch. This new advertising arrange
men, will take effect on Dec. 1
We sincerely hope that the extra
ordinary condition will relax and that
we will not be compelled long to limit
space. However. until there is a
change, subscribers will be denied the
3-months grace heretofore allowed
them and unless subscriptions are
paid Immediately upon their expira-
tIon the names will be removed from
the list and less papers will be print
ed

TEN PER CENT OF
AMERICAN CHILDREN
HAVE ADENOIDS

Adenoids are HANDICAP piping more
than 10 per cent of the American chill
dren in attaining normal, healthful,
development to manhood. according to.
a recent extensive survey in popula-
ton centers conducted by the United.
States Public Health Service.
The result of the medical examina-
tons conducted by the draft boards
Indicate that a considerable proper
ton 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 teeth, experience
throughout the country shows that
adenoids are among the most frequent
of the physical in children.
Adenoids may be prevented. or cured
after development. As one of its con-
tributions TO improve the nation's
health and strengthen its manhood tn
Public Health Service has prepared a
booklet on adenoids for distribution TO
parents and school authorities.
1t tells the parents how the first
appearance of adenoids may be de-
tected by the 1abored mouth breathing
Of the child, particularly while Sleep
ing. Since nature intended that we
should breathe through the nose, pro-
vision by which the air thus breathed
is purified and warmed before entering
the lungs it is evident that mouth
breathing results in impurities getting
into the air passages. The dangers
of this adenoids is almost invariably
underweight, hollow chested and stooto
shouldered, due to the labored BREATH
ing. Facial deformity is another re-
suit The upper teeth protrude, are
crowded out of shape and become a
fertile field for the development OF
Riggs disease. The children stuff er
from frequent colds, develop chronic
nasal catarrh and sometimes lose the
sense of smell and hearing.
Following adequate treatment i'm,
provement is marked. The child be-
gins to regain the lost weight, acquir ss
a healthy color and very soon is the
normal person nature intended it TO
be.
