MANY CHILDREN
HAVE ADENODS

Adeuoids are hapdicapping more
than ten per cent of the American
children IN attaining normal, health
full development to manhood, accord
ing to recent extensive survey IN
population centers conducted by the
Cpited States Public Health service.
The results Of the medical exarni-
nations conducted by the draft boards
indicates that a considerable proper
ton of the defects there discovered
were unauestionably 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 defects in children.
Adenoids may he prevented, or
cured after development. AS one of
It's contributions TO improve the
nations health and strengthen its
manhood tho Public Health service
has prepared a booklet on adenoids
for distribution 10 parents and school
authorities.
1t tells the parents how the first
appearance of adenods may be de-
tected by the lahorcd mouth breath
ing of the child, particularly while
sleeping. Since nature intends that
provision by which the air thus
breathed is purified and warmed be
fore entering the lungs, it is evident
that month breathing results in inn
purties getting into the air pas
sages
The child with adenoids is almost
invariably underweight, hollow chest
ed and stoop shouldered due to the
labored breathing. Facial deformity is
another result. The upper teach pro-
trude. are crowded out of shape and
become a fertile field for tho develop
ment OF RIGGS disease. The children
suffer 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-

ernor Davis at the request OF the law
makers themselves for the purpose
Of meeting federal good roads aid APP

This extraordinary session VIII be
gin Wednesday, August / 3, and is ex-
pected to last not over two weeks.
There are those who believe that the
business in hand can be finished
within fortnight. provided other
matters are not injected into the
session. AT this time il Is not be-
lioved that they will be.
Special elections will he held in N
n nber of counties and senatorial
districts prior to the special session
for the purpose of filing vacancies in
the general assembly occasioned by
deaths and designations.
The real interest throughout the
state at this time lies In the nomina-
tions to be made for all members OF
the general bly--hoth in the
house and in the senate. There are
lao places to be filled. M state of
ticers are up for election his time.
Fight on DEPARTING It.
The fight, some believe, viii revolve
around the department OF prohibi-
ton, which, report has it, will be
made an issue. In fact, this Is said
to be the announced policy of some
m N who voted for the successful can
didate in the last gubernatorial cleo
ton. This, it is believed, also Is
evidenced by editorial utterances in
a publication of which the governor
is the owner.
The cudgels against the prohibit
ton department. ii Is virtually cer-
tain, will be taken up by other than
trade journals" Certain influences,
II is limited, are backing certain can

fines that went direct to the school
funds and a gross saving OF about
100000 in criminal expenses.
This is characterized as buncombe
by the governors publication. Ad
m!tted that the funds are taken in.
the statement is made that the law
would be more sanely administ cred
If the enforcement OF the prohibition

state and county officials and that
the same money would be collected
without the expenses to the state of
the prohibition commissioner or his
department. This IL hard to believe.
The fact remains nat the money is
turned in u the state treasury
through fines and otherwise have
been due to the aiertness of the pro-
hihition commissioner. There is
nothing In the law stopping the state
and county officials from vying with
the prohibition department in the
faudahle work of enforcing the law
We have not the figures. bur we haz-
ard a guess that of the monies col
lected in fines and liquor considerations
not more than ten per cent Is to he
traced to the activities of officials
outside the commissioner depart
ment. Moreover. the county authori-
ties are continually calling on the
commissioner for help IN enforcing
the prohibition laws
Judging from the attitude Of those

one can form a fesr estimate of what
a farce the prohibition law would

penses for criminal prosecution, in

show a balance tn the opposite direc-
ton. However. the editorial. il it

A Difference of Opinion.

The Prohibition department is an
issue in the legislative campaign in
many sections of the state. There
are candidates for the two branches
of the general assem- bly, who favor
retaining this department. while
others claim that it serves no good
purpose. now that the nation is sa-
loonIess. 1t is strongly intimated by
the Richmond Journal that the gov
ernor is 'agin" the proposition TO con-
tinue Commissioner Peters IN Office az
ter the regular session of the law
max ers this coming January. We re-
gard it as somewhat strange that
certain people lose so much sleep
over the Prohibition department,
which IL more than self~sustaining
and make no suggestion relative to
entrenchment and reform along other
lines The plea rs made that the regr-
lar law enforcement officers should
be charged with the duty OF enforc-
ing the laws pertaining to prohibition.
If the plea has merit why not let
these same officers in the Tidewater
section enforce the laws applying to
fish and oysters. There is game
warden in each county. Why should
there be such an officer with sheriff
constahles and and magistrate in the
several counties. We take 1t that the
opponents of the Prohibition de-
partment are prompted by motives
they dare not make public The dis.
cusston will not cease with these few
lines, as We beg to direct attention
to the paragraphs below, taken from
the journal, which deal mainly with
the attitude of the governor. Says
our Richmond contemporary;
