ON ADENOIDS IN CHILDREN
Disease May Mar Stature, Eff
ficieney and Chararter For
Life" Says Health Officer

In the examination of Monroe
county school children we find that
about Is per cent. of all children
examined have adenoids to some
extent. This disease usually be-
gins about the second or third year.
often as late as the fourth or fifth
year and increases in severity up to
the eighth. ninth or tenth year. and
then decrease. sometimes disappear
| ing between the eleventh and four
tenth year. But during it's exist
ence the disease may mar the chief
features. stature, efficiency and char
acter for life.
A disease of such frequency
in our children and one of such far
reaching consequences imposes the
duty upon intelligent and consider
ate parents to be on the lookout
for the disease so that proper treat
ment may be applied before perm
anent injury results. For the in
formation OF those who may not
know exactly what adenoids are:
Adenoids are small swellings or
little tumors that grow in the throat
just above and back of the opening
OF the nose into the mouth,
and in front of the opening
of the two small tubes by which
the ears are connected with the up
per part of the throat. These little
swellings or tumors are redish-
gray in color, soft and Shiny in
texture. and vary in size from that
of a pea to a mass that almost
completely fills the upper part
of the throat.
Adenoids interfere with breath
ing. A child with its air food cut
down doesn't grow as rapidly or as
strong as child that gets a suf
fcient amount of air food. or oxy-
gen. This low resistance. this
weakened condition is another rea-
son why the child with adenoids is
more susceptible to diseases in gen.
eral than is a normal child The
child with adenoids has an altered |
voice. The child's nose, being
more or less diseased and especial
ly subject to colds, loses to a large
extent the sense of smell.
Adenoids produce a peculiar ia
cial expression. The nose as a
rule remains small narrow and un-
developed. The extra effort of the
child to breathe causes an unnat-
ural arch of the eyebrows. All of
these efforts give us, after the d. |
sease has become fully established,
the peculiar adenoid expression
the open mouth. the overlapping
teeth. the short upper lip, the mar
row small nose. and the high arch
ed eyebrows,
The adenoids cause disturbed /
sleep by interfering with breathing.
Adenoids frequently interfere with
hearing, causing various degrees of
deafness. II
The operation for adenoids is
relatively simple, and the danger
very little greater than the danger
of an anesthetic. The treatment, II
as compared with the danger of
leaving the adenoids alone. is a
minimum danger compared with
the maximum danger.
Take your child to some physi-
clan who is known to operate for
adenoids. or if convenient to a nose
and throat specialist Do it at once. i

The local armory board at a re-
cent meeting, realizing the support
shown by the public at the formal
opening a few weeks ago and anxious
to make up a fund whereby the ar

klLNS AT TURPENTINE
PLANT TO BE ALTERED

The correct ingredients of the ton
of stumps which were treated at the
turpentine plant recently was some
what different from that published in
yesterdays Pioneer. Twelve gallons
of turpentine, 80 gallons Of crcosote,
2 gallons of pine oil and 100 gallons
of pyroligneous acid, or liquid smoke,
were obtained. The tar in the stumps
was not saved owing to the fact of its
having been burned in the kiln, due
to faulty construction of the kilns.
It is this feature of the plant that is
to be altered and when altered it will
be one of the most efficient plants in
operation today.

Manager Stone Reports Fine
Progress in Clearing of
Land Near Here
DEMONSTRATES PROPER
METHODS OF BLASTING
Indications Are that at Least
10 Acres Per Farm Will Be
Cleared This Year

Manager A. w. Stone of the Land
Clearing association reports splendid
progress being made in the actual
clearing of land in the southern part
Of the county. The last few days of
last week were spent by Mr.. Stone
in the southern portion of FROM
township, in which about 80 farms
were visited. He found that over 200
acres had been brushed and stumped
in the south half of the township.
Some farmers have done exceptional
ly good work. Mr.. Stone demon
strated at three different farms the
proper way to do blasting, and aided
considerably in giving the farmers
better ideas of how the dynamiting
should be done.
On the Nichols farm, Mr.. Stone
demonstrated the use Of caps, fuse,
ETC., and aided in correcting some Of
the methods being used which were
not as economical as they might have
been.
r. J. Palmer and his brother have
brushed IL acres of heavy brush dur
ing the spring and are doing good.
clean job. They are clearing up their
land fast, and by the end of the sea-.
son will have large area ready for
production.
Oscar J. Hanson, whose farm is in
heavy pine timber, is cutting his brush
at the surface and is discing and
seeding the ground with clover. The
timber he is taking from the land is
paying for the cutting, piling and
burning of the land. He is clearing
an eight-acre patch.
S. S. King has brushed and cleared
five acres and is making good Job
of the work.
Ole Genness has man on his farm
who is doing good work, according to
Mr.. Stone. He is brushing, stump
ing and burning an eight-acre plot.
S. E. Smith has taken the stumps
out of a 15-acre field, which has been
cleared and seeded previously.
L. p. Evans has stumpcd seven
acres and has brushed three acres in
addition. Since starting the clearing
campaign, Mr.. Evans has burned over
and seeded about IS acres.
Andrew Ness has cleared up four
acres Of heavy stumps and has brush
cd five more acres.
The farms listed are but few of
the ones visited by Mr.. Stone, and 1t
is confidently expected that by the
end of the clearing season an aver
age of almost ten acres per farm will
have been cleared in this section.
