HIPPLING RHYMES.
BY Walt. Mason.
PAID FOR.

There are more gorgeous GAGS
than mine, with greater lustre
do they shine, they pass in
gaudy gangs; with silve: doo-
dads here and there. see them
on the thOroughfare, but have
no jealous pangs. For many
cars are bought on time, and
all the panoply sublime means
creditors in view; and every
time the owners drive some
fourteen miles, or maybe five,
there is a payment due. My
ancient bus has rusty springs,
and as along the road it swings
{ creaks and knocks and
groans; but none can say, so
strike me blind, your payments
are a month behind, now hand
me forty bones" 1t is embar-
RAISING TO ride in pomp and
circumstance and pride along
the Great White Way, and find
that creditors in hordes are
climbing on your running
boards to bone YOU Tor their
pay. Far better tool n rusty
boat whose horn has a discord-
ant note, whose cylinders all
miss, than journey in noble
van you bought on the INSTALL
ment plan. for debt destroys
your bliss. And what is true of
motor cars is true of plug hats
and cigars. of prunes and ginger
bread: the greatest bliss, a
mortal knows is in his bosom
when he owes no man a single
red.

PLAY THE GAME.

In Chicago the other day n monu-
ment was unveiled In honor of Eu-
gene Field. Most OF us remember
Field mainly for his verses. Recently
n baseball monument was unveiled In
Washington In honor Of the Ameri-
can League baseball player proving
to be the best and most valuable
player to his club. 1t was decided
last year by the baseball writer's that
the first name to be inscribed on the
monument should be George Sisler
Of the st. Louis American League
team.
What pity the name of Christy
Mathewson cannot be among the
names on this monument, for he will
go down in history of the great
American game as the peer of them
all. The fact that he was not a
player in the American League and
that he had not played in recent
years will, bar his name from the
honored list which was to start from
this year. Christy recently returned
to his home in Factoryville, Pa, al
most restored to health, after the real
great battle of his life. He may have
to return to the Adirondacks for q
complete cure, but he has won in
the battle against the dread disease
tuberculosis.
Never in all the years when he was
the idol of the baseball world did
Matty give so great an exhibition OF
courage than in the loug-drawn-out
struggle for his life. lie had one
chance in a thousand and he won
And he won as he did many of his
ball games-on his courage.
There's opportunity for clergymer
to preach sermons on the life of this
fine specimen of the Christian and
the athlete. He played the game oi
baseball fairly, honestly, always Civ
ing the best that was in him. So fan
as is known, he never took n NEAR
advantage of a rival player, never
resorted to an unworthy trick, bu
always played the game" II he hat
not led a clean life he would not b'
alive today. Great as he was in th'
height of his career on the diamond
he is greater today, for he has tough
a good fight and has won. When HI
returned to his old home town th'
whole population turned out 10 vel
come him. In business as in baseball
| it is the man who plays the gam
fairly and courageously who has tn
real key to success.

TONSILS AND THEIR ILLS
BY Frederic J. Hsskin.

organ Is shrunk to It's normal in
significance.
The needles used are about one
inch long and about the thickness OF
phonograph needle. At the blunt end
Is an eye in which silk is threaded
so that the needle can be readily with
drawn. Small as these tools are they
represent four or five thousand dol
lars worth Of radium. The precious
substance is in the center of the
needle and the exterior, composed of
platinum and iridium, forms a screen
through which the rays are filtered.
No matter how often or how little
the needles are used one-half Of their
power viii not be gone for 1900 years.
RadIum's Mysterious Ways.
One strange fact about radium is
that Il has a selective effect, letting
some cells alone and changing the
! character OF others. 1t has been
| found that the tissue of the tonsi.s is
extremely sensitive TO radium. D.
MES OF disease germs disappear and
/ the soft tissue is absorbed and
shrivcled. leaving only firm healthy
| tissue behind.
DR.. Wells does not advocate his
method of radium treatment as a
| substitute for removal Of tonsils BY
surgical operation. Radium is foI
| those who cannot stand an operation
| Il has the advantages 6f being pain
less and of not being weakening. Il
| involves no hospital illness. Neverthe-
less II is not for the average person
/ II is expensive.
Even though new sources of radiun
are discovered frcm time TO time there
is little prospect of it's becoming ar
inexpensive material. The cost Of min
iu5 and extracting il is large, and doc
tors using II are mainly specialist:
who have evolved methods of treat
ment by long study and large invest
ment. Still, the cost OF radium IS drop
ping. Where once Il sold fer $40 &
milligram il IS now quoted At arounC
$40.
X-ray has also been used as treat
ment for diseased tonsils, with vary
ing success. The disadvantage is tha
the rays must penetrate 70 the tonsil:
from the outside OF the neck, whereas
radium can be applied directly to th'
diseased organ.
Closely allied to tonsilar troubles
the popular disease known as adenoids
When people speak OF adenoids the,

organ located between tH nose an

OUR CITY.

The site of our town is one of renown.
For years its founders have tried
To discover a better place, some far
ther down,
But in this brave attempt they have
died.
For the Swedes and the Dutch were
too wise to be beaten,
Their choice is the best then, for
certain;
And 'tis strange TO note there was
none to dispute them
When the land was turned DER to
Great Britain.
a nation has grown up from all those
small states,
Which once numbered just ten and
three,
And many are waiting at Liberty's
To enter that land of the free.
But down through the ages of
changes and gloom
The First State" though small
has stood firm;
And though it is narrow" there's
sure to be room
For the ablest among us TO learn.
That the First State" has fiourished
as days have passed by,
Though the world may not note
her great fame;
But the First City's" leveled hel
fame to the sky.
The root of her glory'we claim!
/ For Wilmington always! Our slogan
must ring
| Far and wide, over land, over sea
! We have built up our State, and hei
praises we sing
And we shout everywhere, Vic

How the Trouble Starts.

Trouble starts somewhat like this:
The tonsil is a capsule containing
mass of soft and sppngy tissue known
as lymphoid. In This tissue are
number of crypts and depressions.
Germ colonies lodge in these recesses,
and diseased matter and pus form
These produce poisons and the
poisons spread through the system
In iccent years diseased teeth have
been a popular explanation of all
manner of ailments. Now the throat
specialist offers the theory that 8
cases out of 10 of rheumatism and
neuritis can be traced to diseased
tonsils. Heart trouble, kidney in
Examinations. high blood pressure, and
even hardened arteries, have been
connected with tonsils.
If the natural atrophy fails to take
place in adolescence it is generally
deferred until old aga Then the
soft lymphoid tissue is gradually re-
placed by hard. fibrous tissue.
One of the most recent uses of
radium 10 be developed TO a practical
stage is in connection with tonsils.
/ Radium is now being used success
fully TO cause the atrophy that ma
ture fails to accomplish DR.. Wells

this subject, says that radium does

Washington. Nov. 1s--rhe sore
throat season is approaching when
tonsiis will again be popular topic
OF conversation. Scarcely an adult
but wakes intense over general dis
cussion OF tonsils. Everybody has
them or has an exciting time getting
rid of them, and If by chance a grown
up hasn't personally performing set
OF tonsils. there are always the tonsi-
lar adventures OF the children, not 10
speak OF their adeRoids.
Yet. with all the interest in this
subject. comparatively few people can
tell what tonsls are for and why
mankind is so pestered by them.
| y throat specialist Of this city, DR..
| w. A Wells, explained some of the
/ modern ideas on this subject the
other day. Il may be a shock 10 some
people to learn that we really should
practically dispense with tonsils by
the age of IS years. At the age OF
about IL in girls and about 10 in
boys the tonsils should be shrunken
almos, TO atrophy. says DR.. Wells.
If you have had no tonsilar troubles
since childhood, the proba bilities are
that yours naturally faded out Of your
life at the proper time. If this is
the case you should have practically
no trouble for the rest of your days
This was natures plan, as modern
specialists understand il. The ton
sils serve their purpose in infancy and
childhood, and then they unobtrusiye-
~ shrink.
There are several theories regard
ing the function of the tonsils. Ths
belief that they in any way affec'
digestion or the singing voice is nC
longer generally held. DR.. Well!
says that the most plausable theory
is that they make white blood celli
, In young children. At about the ag'
of 10 or u the bone marrow, which
makes the same sort of cells, begins
to be active and the tonsils are M
longer needed for this purpose.
1t is a sad fact. however, that mos
, people do not retire their tonsils a
! the critical stage. If the tonsils ar
not altogether healthy at the tim
