Adenoids and large tonsils hold
poisonous germs. from decayed food.
These germs often are carried by the
blood TO the heart and cause heart
disease. Sometimes they are carried
in quantities 10 the joints and cause
rheumatism.
Adenoids are a small. soft, reddish
growth which comes in the back OF
the throat. where the nose and throat
join. A child having adenoids breathes
with open mouth. has frequent colds
and may have constant earache or be-
come deaf. Adenoids often dull the ex-
preston Of the eye, destroy the re-
sonance Of the voice and distort. the
facial expression so as to produce a
blank, idiotic stare. They hinder men
tai development by interfering with
proper physical development.
The best time to remove adenoids is
when they are first recognizable to a
physician.
Enlarged tonsils obstruct the pass
age of air through the mouth. This
is such a great impeachment to breath,
ing that it causes diminished lung Nex-
pansion and acknowledgement Of the
chest with a consequent weakening Of
all vital powers.

Winter famine and high prices are
in store for the majority OF bituminous
coal users-and prices are already up
more than fifty per cent.
This ia indicated in a survey made
Of large cities representative Of soft
coal conditions.
In eight Of these cities retail deal
ers and fuel commissioners predict a
famine-some reporting famine ell

in one city Pittsburgh. Only four do
not expect a serious shortage-Cin-

winter, retailers say.
No survey was taken Of eastern
cities. where family furnaces burn an
thracite instead Of bituminous coal. In
the West and Southwest bituminous is
used to some extent. but oil IS so com

paid for the bowl out Of his own

wanted to own it himself. so he could
take it home with him after the war.

the officials in charge Of the draft, and

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-China, old
in civilization and young in industry,
may prove to be the scene Of the
worlds greatest struggle between
capital and labor.
This is the opinion of Margaret
Burton of the national board of the
Y. w. c. A, who went to China last
August with the John D. Rockefeller
party and remained to inspect indus
trial conditions.
Having recently returned, she gives
the following statement regarding
conditions there:
China is beginning her industrial
history on the basis Of valuing ma
chinery more highly than life. The
factory system is built on the bad
foundation Of child labor, long hours,
inadequate wages and working con-
ditions that are a menace to life.
AT the present time every factory
is law unto itself. There is no such
thing as industrial legislation.
Each factory. may decide for itself
what wages it will pay, what hours
of work II will demand, under what
conditions the workers work, what
days Of rest It will grant, what pro-
lection from machinery 1t will provide,
and what the age limit Of its workers
will be.
Most Are Women, Children
1T is impossible to estimate how
many factory workers there are in
China, but of the 800 000 workers in
the Yangtzepoo district, rs per cent
are women and children.
Little children toll for twelve and
thirteen hours daily at the most ex-
hausting labor.
