Adenoids

Nature intends that we breathe
through the nose, and has so ar.
ranged matters that the air is
strained, warmed and moistened as
1t passes through the nose. This
IS very important.
Unfortunately about ten pei
cent of all children have adenoids
which interfere with free breathing
through the nose. So many seri.
Gus results follow this condition
that parents should learn some.
thing about adenoids and their
treatment.
Back CT the nostrils nature has
provided q kind of moist cushion
which helps to filter impurities out
OF the air. This cushion is formed
sof what the doctors call "adenoid
tissue" and is similar to that which
makes up the tonsils. When this
sadenoid tissue grows abnormally
large it forms what are known as
adenoids which greatly interfere
with nasal breathing.
I One of the first results Of the
growth of adenoids is mouth
breathing. When this condition
develops, the air breathed in reach
yes the throat and lungs in an UNI
purified condition. Moreover, it
is not sufficiently warmed or mois-
tened. In a short time such chill
dren begin to suffer from repeated
colds and show the signs of nasal
catarrh. Unless proper treatment
is given the condition soon gets
worse and the child's nasal breath
ing becomes more and more OBJ
,structed. Children suffering from
'adenoids are usually pale, often
narrow chested and altogether are
not as strong and robust as are
normal children. Adenoids affect
the voice, dis6gure the facial ex-
preston, interfere with hearing,
open the way to invasion by dis
ease germs and through the devel-
opment of chronic catarrh may
lead to loss of the sense of smell.
The change in facial expression
is often so great that the child
looks stupid and sometimes holt
imbecile.
One Of the chief dis6gurements
caused by adenoids is that of the
jaws and teeth, the teeth of the
upper jaw stick out and are not
covered by the lip as they should
be, the roof Of the mouth is mar

The dollar was for stock,
And eighty for an ad,-
Brought him three lovely dollars

And a little more space,
And he played that system
With smile on his face.
The customers Aocked

And he soon had to hustle
For regular store.

Where people pass,
He gobbled up a corner
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up his windows
With the best he had,
And told them all about it
In half.page ad.
He soon had 'em coming,
And he never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down

And he's kept things hdmming
In the town, ever since,
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.

For he knew the way to get 'em

On May a last, referring to an
editorial in The Tribune on the value
Of preparedness, The World ironical-
ly remarked that Germany, Russia
and France had been prepared for
war in 1914 and that "in consequence
they have known nothing but peace
and happiness"
Preparedness" sarcastically said
The World in conclusion, sis in
deed the best insurance, and il
there are careless people who have
forgotten it, the thing to do is to
explain to them simply and clearly
the priceless benefits that Europe
has reaped during the last seven
years from preparedness for war"
Yet in it's edition of Monday The
World quoted General Pershing as
follows:
"It is my belief that if America
had been adequately prepared our
rights would never have been vio-
lated nor our safety threatened"
General Pershing is obviously

'This is a fact which has not vet

After vast ado of words, some
times to the effect she wouldn't and
then again that she couldn't, she will
accept and sign. In the language Of

ment to position prepared in ad-
vance. The whole reparation pro-
ceeding is most strikingly and anus
ingly German.
Has Germany any idea of keeping
her word? All will hope so. But no

shot up. Germany will pay---if she
has to; and as long as this is her

The Railroad MIDDLE

Much good ought to come out of
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committees investigation Of the
railroad muddle. Congress passed
g law last year-the Esch-C -Cummins
act--which for the first time recog-
nized the obligations imposed on the
government by it's assumption of eco
nomic control of the roads. The
old one-sided policy of regulation in
the shippers interest, with no cor
responding duty to provide revenue
for the carriers and keep them SOL
vent, going concerns, was moderated
and in theory, at least, abandoned.
The Esch-Cunlmins act directed
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to fix freight and passenger
rates which would produce fair
return on the value of railroad prop
critics. The commission raised rates
last fall, but most of the roads have
been losing money ever since. The
increase, coming at a time of busi-
ness depression, accelerated the fall
ing off of productive traffic. The
higher rates have also irritated
many classes Of shippers. There is
q growing demand for rate reduction,
and the railroads themselves feel
that they would be better off if they
could be assured of larger volume
of business at lower rates.
The plight of the carriers and the
embarrassments OF the government
are due primarily to the blunders Of
the Federal railroad administration.
The Director General of Rail-
reads pursued an eccentric, cart-be-
fore-the-horse policy. Instead of
making wartime traffic pay for it.
self and produce betterment sur
plus, he ran the carriers at heavy
loss and saddled the deficit on the
Treasury. He expanded costs of
operation enormously, without max
ing corresponding increases in rates.
When the economic reaction came
after the war the government should
have been in a position to turn the
roads back physically intact and in
an improved financial condition and
to give the public the immediate re-
lief of rate reductions. Instead, it
turned them back crippled and over
weighted with operating expenses,
and was obliged to sanction big in

Shocking Expenditure
Ensign's Reply to Characterization
of Army and Navy Upkeep
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial in The New York
Times of May 8 entitled Shocking
All Around the fact is pointed out
that s1,1oo, 100000 will be spent for
the army and navy during the fiscal
year of 1922. With reference to this
fact the following statement is made:
Beyond all question it is shocking, it
is monstrous, that W. are to spend this
great sum in preparing to kill off our
fellow men,"
Since when has the function cf the
armed force of the United States been
to "kill off our fellow men,? The func-
tion of the army and navy has always
been, is, and, pray God, will continue
to be, to defend the United States and
to uphold its noble principles.
Let us substitute for the phrase "to
kill Off our fellow men" such words
as properly describe the necessity for
the existence of our national defense.
The statement then becomes: "Beyond
all question it is shocking, it is mon
ssrous, that we are to spend this great
sum" to defend, If necessary, the
United States from the tragic and
humiliating experience of an enemy in
vasion; to make it certain that the
United States, a nation Conceived in
liberty" can retain that liberty; to
make it possible for the United States
to prevent, should that expediency
again arise, the violation of justice
and the disregard of righteousness.
This is the absurd meaning of the as
sertion of The Times, not disguised by
phraseology which makes it presenta-
BILE to the gullible or the uninformed.
