Keeping Fit.

Sooner or later there Is impressed on each
| of us the need of taking care toe keep the hu-
| man machine in running order. Childhood
gives little heed to the matter. One of the
| blessed immunities of youth is freedom from
care about tomorrow, the absence of anxiety
about today. A child is hurt. and Dame Nature
has inteligently repaired the damage almost
as the tears are dried After any in
jury or illness the child comes back quickly.
Youth is resilient The system promptly fe-
turns to what it was without registering i'll
effect AS we grow older we learn the need of
care We do not always act upon the knowl-
edge that we have But if we overrun the dan
ger signals We sure to rue it.
Some men train for an event Some men
train for life. An athlete is rigorous in alb
stinence and self-denial till the race is rowed,
the game is played the meet the bout is
over Then he thinks he has a license to cut
loose again. But man bound to keep fit for
the business of living cannot afford to break
training. He may relax, he may rest; but his
vacations are periods for the restoration and
not the destruction of his energy. For his
amusement he finds that which builds him up
that he may do his work better when he comes
back to it. A vacation never was intended for
a dissipation. The purpose of it is an improve
ment in the general physical condition. Those
who are idle always, whose life is one long
playtime, do not know the recuperative mean
ing of respite. Never having toiled, they can
not enjoyably rest The fun is his who has
worked hard to deserve the recreation. And
when the recess comes in his business he does
not find it pleasing to sit idle in stagnatien
and vegetation. He finds something to do
some interest mental or manual-to keep him
occupied. The man who would be fit takes
care that neither mind nor music is atrophied
by disuse. You cannot wish any man, at any
age, crueler fate than that of having nothing

Faith and Medicine.

At this time each year thousands Of sick and
manned journey to the shrine of St Anne de
Beaupre in Quebec. Dispatches report that the
village is crowded with visitors, and that people
are sleeping on roofs, verandas and balconies
The visitors come from all parts of the world
The shrine has been the objective of plgrimages
since 1858 Hundreds of thousands have visited
st. Miraculous cures have been recorded.
There are instances OF persons having been car
ried to the shrine on stretchers and walking
away unaided. Persons invalided for years
have been known to leave the shrine entirely
recovered in health.
What is it that accomplishes these miracu-
lous changes in the human body?
The patient has no personal contact with
any parsonage. There is laying on of
hands, as is practiced by some faith healers.
All that transpires is simple devotion on the
mart of the afflicted, prayer to God for help,
TO be sure there are no cures in the majority
of cases. but the fact that some of the visitors
are benefited is enough in itself to insure in
creasing pilgrimages each year, for each one
who goes c1ings to the hope that he will be the
exception that time and will experience the
Joy of restored health.
The miracles that take place at the shrine
OF ST. Anne ought to be an awakener to those
who may have doubts to the efficacy of the
divine power. They prove that there is mys-
terry of life that living man does not under
stand The various schools of medicine under
stand the human anatomy and they accomplish
Ereat good in administering to the sick and
MANNED But above all the works of the hui
IMAM hand there rises an unseen power that
now and then accomplishes miracles Of breath
less wonderment The afflicted who journey
10 Quebec go there in the belief that there is
o powerful influence to be had at the shrine of
St Anne. Some are able to receive it and 9TH
hrs miss it. Why? That's the question that
will never be answered by living man.

Protect the Spectators.

Frequency of accidents does not seem to de-
ter young America from entering the air serv-
Ice. Men once in it stay in it because of the
thrill of the game, and recurring disasters do
rot appear in the least to check their enthus-
tasnl. Within the year many pilots and some
Passengers on airships have met death through
accident. Occasionally the onlookers have SUI
fered- The accident at Moundsyille, w. Va, a
short time ago in which an airplane out of con-
troll plunged into a crowd of spectators, was
shocking, and means should be taken to prevent
ITS repetition. When it first definitely was
proved that the airplane to be a success,
and that eventually it would enter into the field
OF commerce, men looked ahead and laid plans
for definite air routes with view not only to
the establishment of intercourse between places
by the shortest possible routes but also to safe
guard the lives and property of the people who
stayed on the ground. In the early days the
only accidents were those which happened to
tue pilots and observers and interest in the
plans for safeguarding the ground jewellers was
lost.
The Moundsville incident shows that the
greatest precaution should be taken to provide
large areas for the maneuvering OF planes prior
TO their landing and their departure. Specta-
tors do not know the risks that are run in their
own cases. 1t is little less than criminal to fail
TO safeguard the air service against the double
ira eties

nasal passages, face, chin, and

incident to the jaw deformity inter
feres with proper mastication, and
that means a train OF troubles
which seriously impair general nu-

The removal of adenoids is a
very simple, and at the same time a
very easily bungled operation.
Many a doctor who makes no pre-
tense of being a specialist at all
does a much more thorough opera
ton for adehoids than many an eye
ear-nose-andthroat specialist to-
day. In no case should a child be
subjected to such an operation on
the mere guess of a school nurse or
any one else who has not felt the
adenoid body with his finger in the
BhafyRx or seen its image in his
throat mirror. 1t is a mistake to
send a child to a clinic or elsewhere
for the removal of hypothetical ade-
noids assumed to be present mere
ly because the child has an "ade-
mold face" or other signs of nasal
obstruction.
Infants a few weeks old not rare
~ have large adenoids and should
be operated on. Adults often suffer
from neglected adenoids and should
be operated on.

Will Premier Come?

British opinion is divided over the propriety
of Prime Minister Lloyd George coming to
America to attend the disarmament conference
comments are as diversified. Some of the news
papers indicate they would like to have him
come the worst way. Others of the opinion
that he should be welcomed. but are led to hesi-
tate by the precedent of Woodrow Wilson's Paris
expedition. The comparison is easy to make
And it has many elements of soundness. In
conference such as proposed by President Hard
ing the political head of a nation has great
advantage of perspective if he is some distance
away from the problem under discussion. He
is more useful if he is entirely aloof from The
personalities involved and the heat engendered.
And the disarmament discussions will need
balance wheel Of aloofness and GOODNESS. Pres
ident Harding has of those rare tempera-
ments which can keep aIoof and cool at close
range. If Lloyd George is similarly gifted he
has certainly never shown it.
The suggestion has been made that the Brit
sh premier come a delegate, but return to
England after the preliminary sessions. The
idea sounds good. The country would enjoy
welcoming the British leader. His coming
would tend to cement the Ensiish-speaking
friendship. But long stay might eldanger his
influence at home, as it did President Wilson's,
and might introduce too great a measure of
British politics into the sessions OF the confer
ence. However, our hats are off to this man of
striking ability and the latchstring will always
be out to such distinguished visitor.

AdenoidS.
NoTEO PHYSICIAN

Adeneids.
Thickening or enlargement of the
adenoid body, which is a third ton
sill in the ceiling of the throat up
out of sight above the soft palate, is
called "adenoids," but should not be
called "adenoid growths" for it is
merely an enlargement of a nor
NAL tonsil-like structure, akin to
enlarged tonsils, which are usually
seen accompanying adenoids.
According to an old theory, GER
tain children have a constitutional
tendency toward overgrowth of
Emphatic tissues, in the tonsils,
adenoid body, appendix and else
where. 1t seems more likely that
the hygienic Tor rather unhygienic)
environment and habit of coddling
with heat and clothing is the actual
cause of such a tendency 1t Is
characteristic that in open air
schoofrooms adenoids occur but
rarely as compared with the mark
ed prevalence of the condition in
the usual overheated and poorly
ventilated prison where children
laboriously acquire their A. B. C.'s.
With every insult of the upper re-
spiratory region, every fresh infee-
ton, or, as the superstitious old
women and the politician health Of
ficer still calls it, cold in the head, :"
the adenoid body sweIls and its
cells multiply to help fight the in
vading germs. After a series of
such battles the adenoid body re-
mains permanently enlarged So
that our vicious practice of expos
ing children in the schoolroom to
such infections-just because it
happens that no doctor has labeled
the disease diphtheria or scarlet
fever or influenza or something
must be admitted a chief cause of
adenoids.
Enlargement Of the adenoid body
calls for surgical relief when the in
FAINT, child or adult has any impair
ment of hearing or earache or in
flammation in the middle ear or
running ear. Likewise surgical re-
mOval of the adenoids is required
when the patient suffers frequently
recurring attacks of acute sore
throat, acute adenoiditis, or acute
coryZa-for these attacks, though
perhaps not severe, nevertheless
menace health and life itself be-
cause of the serious complications
which are likely to occur-such as
sinusitis, meningitis, middle ear
suppuration, mastoiditis, arthritis,

| Q. Where do we get the express

between Washington and New York
dis continued? L. D. F.
A. The postofice department says
that there Is no further necessity

one because there are better op-
portunities for conducting the nee
essary experimental work on the
New York-San Francisco route and
because it is not possible at pres

How to Make Lime Water.

Into an earthen jar containing a
half gallon or more of hot water
stir a large tablespoonful of fresh
unslaked lime. AS soon as this set
ties, pour off and throw away the
water, which has dissolved out the
soluble potash which may be in the
lime. Now add more water, and
stir up the mixture again and allow
to settle again. Then carefully
draw off the clear water from the
top without disturbing the residue
which has settled on the bottom of
the jar. Bottle and cork this and
label it Lime Water.

Rock Island Tuesday OF the Seine twins in a
pond where they were fishing. The boys were
only IL years old. With two other youngsters

WOODS to spend the day. They were unaccom-

event of their coming to grief. One OF the
brothers climbed out on a tree limb and
dropped his line in the pond. He lost his bal
ance and fell into the water. He could not
