quent colds and may have constant
earache or become deaf.
Adenoids often dull the expression
of the eye, destroy the resonance of
the voice and distort the facial ex-
preston so as to produce a blank
idiotic stare. They hinder mental
development by interfering with pro-
per physical development. For this
reason ''repeaters' at school are
frequently found to be afflicted with
adenoids.
Adenoids and large tonsils hold
poisonous germs. These germs often
are carried by the blood TO the heart
and cause heart disease. Sometimes
they are carried in quantities to the
joints and rheumatism.
Both adenoids and tonsils can be
removed at the same time by a SIM
pie and practically harmless opera

Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

quarrels of investors of different
nationalities over concessions of
trade and natural resources in
countries not strong enough to de-
fend themselves. Every internal
tional war SINNERS to that in long
run. The late World War was
fought for a large number of high
ideals, as we all know. And we
all know that none of them were
realized and that when the dust
Of battle settled the victors were
to be seen dividing up among their
respective investors. oil wells, iron
deposits, spheres of influence and
little things like that. The United
States went into the war with 40
selfish interest, but she came out of
it with the financial mastery of the
world in her Taft pants pocket.

pcrary and accidental way. Those
go to q few f~inanciers. What the
common man gets is the fun OF
lighting and paying taxes and the
emotional exaltation of engaging in
a great patriotic enterprise.
That these things are worth some
thing to him is evident from the
amount he pays for them. 1t is
futile to pretend that war has no
appeal to the common man. If it
didn't have there wouldn't be any
war. The common mans life is apt
to be a monotonous restricted affair.

scarcely be disputed that there is
some human need which war salts
lies. Modern international war is
the spectacle of certain isterested
parties working to satisfy tnat need
and in so doing TO promote certain

The flaw in the system is that
eVer since the Middle Ages war has
been becoming less and less satistac

of satisfying his craving for COM

in which men encased in cast iron
banged at each other with long
sticks. Nearly everybody had a
good time and not so many were
killed. A war could and did,. go on
for q hundred years without doing
any great harm. And then there
were the Crusaders. Who wouldn't
like to go on junkets such as
those?
Then came the great age of dis
covery and colonization. Here
again war became a delightful ad-
venture. From Cortez's subjuga-
ton of x down to Clusters last
stand, the conquest of the Ameri-
can wilderness was an heroic adven-
lure that rivalled the Odyssey,
Those wars had appeal to the
imagination. they IA the common
man a real thrill, and they did not

Modern war is an adventure for
comparatively few and a hard, mis-
cradle affair for many, and it does
exhaust both nations and peoples.

who expected to benefit by it. Even
men of finance concede that the last

Coffee made for culture, bananas

the development of the three states,
Guatemala, Honduras and Ell SAL

newest American republic, according
to a bulletin from the Washington,

Geographic Society.
This new nation has an area ap-
proximately that of Colorado and a
population greater than that of
Massachusetts,. It's mapped outline

thinking of Central America as being
20 the south of u.s.; which is well
enough, if it be remembered that an
east and west line running through
the new republic could touch Mica
ragua and Mexico at the ends, and
that going from the Atlantic to the
Pacific means a trip due south.
