HOW TO KEEP WE'LL.
j. Alvin Jefferson, M. D.

1t is just as unreasonable to expect
thorough and complete digestion IN one
who keeps filthy mouth and an in
competent set of teeth as it is to expect
pure water from foul spring.
We sin against our digestive tract
when we allow our mouths to become as
garbage pals. Tobacco chewers and
snuff users are chief sinners in this re-
spect. Among diseases that invade the
mouth are the various types OF stoma-
tits, humps, or parotitis, pyorrhea,
gingivitis, etc.
1t has been said, "The mouth is the
battle ground of the face.' It is the
only feature which can be relied upon
alone to give general insight into the
character Of the possessor. Even when
silent it is eloquent Of truth. This is
especially true of the mouth breather
with his long lantern-jawed face. Mouth
breathing is the result arising from
curious spongy growth located IN the
back of the throat opposite the pos
terror opening of the nose. This pos
terror nasal growth is better known as
Adenoids.
Many parents often make the mistake
OF scolding their children for acquiring
the habit Of breathing through the
mouth. A number of mothers have
been heard to scream " For heaven sake
child, shut your mouth. - The best
way to correct this evil is to have those
adenoids removed. Healthy adenolds
like healthy tonsils should not be re-
moved, but when they become chron-
ically. inflamed and enlarged they be-
come source Of danger.

Sol Butler to Study

{ Special to The Bystander.)

{ Special to The Bystander.)
-. Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 2s.-Sol Butler,
internationally famous colored athlete
the University of Dubuque's represen-
tative to the Olympic games, doesn It in
tend to return to school here. Butler is
in the city for short stay before go
my to Hutchinson, Kans., his home.
Late this month he is to give a series
Of instructions to members Of the Chi
cago Athletic club, after which he will
enter the Pennsylvania law school.
Buffers showing in the Olympic
games was a disappointment. Regard
ed a sure winner in the broad jump at
Antwerp, he failed even to qualify for
the finals. During the preliminaries he
pulled tendon, which put him out of
commission. Butler set new world g
record in the broad jump at Chicago, at
the Olympic trials.
The phenomenal colored athlete was
student at the University of Dubuque
for five years, during which time he not
only starred on the track, but in foot
ball and basketball as well. He was
enc Of the greatest quarterbacks ever
seen in action in this part of the state.

part of many school children may be
traced to diseased tonsils and adenoids.
Those little sufferers are physically as
we'll as mentally abnormal. They are
from one to four inches below the nor
NAL height for their years and five to
fifteen pounds under weight, one to
three grades behind in their school
work.
These adenoid growths are the rem
nants Of the gills in fish and are ar
ranged about small openings called the
eustachian tubes. When they become in
famed they pour out thick mucous
secretion which enters the ear-tubes and
sets up earache. It is said that two
thirds Of all cases of earache and five
sjxths of all cases of deafness are due
to adenoids. It can be easily shown
why child with odenoids is usually
underweight. We all know how fiat
our foods taste when we suffer from
cold in the head. Smell and taste are
so closely correlated that to destroy the
one is to cripple the other. Without
the sense of smell one cannot tell chalk
from cheese if the sense Of taste alone
is to be his guide. If the nose becomes
stopped up it is impossible to smell
your foods. This lack of appreciation
OF the sense Of smell is the permanent
condition of the mouth-breather. His
nasal openings are blocked by these
spongy growths. Il For this reason his
sense of smell is deranged and his food
does not taste well to him giving rise
to poor appetite and defective diges-
ton.
Do not scold your child if he goes
around with his mouth open and his low
er lip hanging down. Take the child to
a physician and find out whether he has
diseased adenoids or not; if so have
them removed at once.

FRANCE HAS NOTHING

Tardieu Gives His Version of Situation,> Showing Teu-
 tons Badly Crippled.

Paris Dec. 31.-Discussing the resignation of Andre Lefevre as war minister. Captain Andre Tardieu in LIllustration today contrasts the mill itary position of Germany with that of France. {, "A.
 Germany has no more than 59,- 000,o00 inhabitants. of which 7,ooO,- 900 are in the zone occupied by the allies" Captain Tardieu said. Ger man-Austria has 100000. The other 23,00O.000 formerly in the Austrian empire are distributed, with the ex- ception of the Magyars, among Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania, who are allies of France.
 Italy fought with us and remains on our side. The Belgians are united to as by an alliance. The German regular army has been reduced to 15o,oo0 men and will soon number 100000. The police formations which the allies by their weakness have ai- lowed to continue, are neither in or ganization or equipment ready for war.
 Allied officers have destroyed B. 7oo,0 900 rifles, 1s0.000 machine guns, more than 35,000 pieces Of artillery and large part of the tools for their manufacture. They control all the German factories. When the all lied officers are ready to leave the military delegates of the League of Nations will continue the work. Were the Germans to mobilize now, they would have to do so be- tween the rivers EIbe and Weser, in- stead of between Metz and Stras- .bourg. France has 500, 900 men under arms with 14.0o0 guns and 4,000 air. planes.
