the Magic Ring off the hand of his

How To Keep
Yourself Well
Bronchitis and Asthma


My daughter, eleven, gets bron-
chitis. about six times every winter.
1t is very difficult for her to breathe.
Adenoids and tonsils have been re-
moved.
Even though the adenoids and
tonsils were removed, there may
still be insufficient space in the
nasal passages for free breathing.
II the operation was done after the
adenoids and tonsils had already
existed for some time it may be
that there is a very highly arched
palate. In some cases such a palate
can be broadened by careful treat
ment by an orthodontist
If your child breathes through
the mouth, especially in cold
weather, this might explain all her
symptoms. On the other hand, your
daughter may be suffering from true
spasmodic asthma. due to some pc
Z liar hypersensitiveness to alien
protein. The existence of such a
sensitiveness can nowsbe determined
by means of suitable skin tests.
The protein which gives rise to
trouble in such cases may be in
hailed Gas in hay fever), or it may
be In the food. Chronic bronchitis
or bronchial asthma is one of those
difficult, trying conditions that are
hard to control in certain climates.
Feed her generously. but careful
ly, and see that she receives a suit
able amount of milk. fresh green
leafy vegetables, fruit, ETC.. but do
not let her have foods that disagree
with her or which you have noticed
seem to ~aggravate her condition.
In some cases, little improvement
is seen until the child is removed to
a climate where the attacks do not
occur. Residence in a high, dry,
moderately warn locality should be
long enough to overcome the tend
ency to recurrence.
Discharge from Nose
Several months ago I was operat-
ed on for my tonsils and adenoids.
| have begun to blow my nose, and
nothing comes out but something on
the order of yellow corruption. Ny
friends tell me that / will burst a
blood vessel if l keep on blowing my
nose that way.
If there Is an offensive yellow dis
charge when you blow your nose
you ought to go at once to the sur
Seon who performed the operation,
and have him advise you regarding
treatment.
Apparently there is some purulent
Inflammation going on within the
nose or in some of the sinuses COM
municating with the nose.
Such a condition ought to be
treated by a o and throat spec
ialist.
Diet for Stomach Trouble
@. Please send me a book on the
way to feed a child of five years
old who suffers from stomach
trouble.
A. 1t would not be wise to send
a diet list for a child who suffers
from stomach trouble. The doctor
who Is treating the Ease is in a posi-,
ton to know from his examination
of the child just the kinds of food
she should take.

HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, February %. 1921.
The stars inciin do not compel.


Copyright. 1921. by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
This may be a day of sinister inn
pulses and uncertain actions. ac-
cording to a astrology. The Sun,
Venus. Uranus and Saturn are all in
maleic aspect.
Care should be exercised to avoid
all important decisions and initia-
tive in any line of work will be I'M
lucky.
Persons dominated by the Sun
will be depressed by this rule which
is believed to make the relinquish-
ment of power Dr. authority difficult.
The planetary sway is likely to be
conducive to useless regrets and re-
pinings. AL respondent thoughts
should be persistently dismissed.
Women may be more easily af-
fected than men by this government
of the stars. which presages changes
and conditions that will not be
satisfactory to those who cherish
progressive ideals.
1t is a most unfavorable day for
love affairs since its encourages
intrigue and deception. The we'd
ding of this day may lead to divorce.
While threatening stars have
power they presage certain reac-
tionary influences most beneficial
to family life.
Increase of crimes that require
intelligence in executing them is
foreshadowed. Banks will suffer.
Women of education may be in
clined toward dishonesty in posi-
tons of trust.
The stars have foretold that
many new temptations will beset
women and they should be on their
guard as never before.
Uranus today is in an aspect that
makes it easy for the best inten-
tons to be misunderstood and dis
torted.
Under this direction of the stars
personal aspirations and national
may count self ACKNOWLEDGMENT
more important than public service.
This tendency will be apparent es-
pecially in the west.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a year of some changes and
anxieties, but they may assure
prosperity by avoiding new enter
prises.
Children born on this day are
likely to be methodicaL logical and
honest. They may be fond of
amusement, but able to succeed in
business.
