towards getting rid of offending
tonsils and adnoids. Doctors cannot
conscientiously operate, except in
emergency cases in the usual con-
ditions of any home, and the County
nurse, Miss Clark found that it was
beyond her power to do what she
realized was necessary.
With the earnest cooperation of
DIR. Little of Dorset; a Committee
was formed of interested women; Mrs
West, Mrs Haven, Mrs H P Gilbert,
Mrs Barrows, Mrs Atkinson and Mrs
Harrington. There was one man on
the Commit Mr. Batchelder, not
only of particular help in advising
and directing the whole movement;
but who also did valiant yoeman SER
vice in carrying and moving cots and
equipment. They promptly found an
ideal location for their work, in the
basement of the Congregational
Church, the large audience room to
be used as a ward, the kitchen for
operating, and the little library for
the children's dressing room. The
women of the Committee made them
selves responsible for the cots and
bedding, the sheets and towels, all
the old, soft rags they could gather
together, and with Mrs Titles help,
whatever nourishment would be re-
CURED for the little patients for the
day. Miss Clark attended to the
thorough sterilization of the rooms
and dressings. And the Committee
also made some half dozen little
night gowns for the children, which
proved very present help in trouble;
these gowns now carefully Numbered
are laid away for a possible future
use.
DIR. Marshall, the surgeon, came
down from Rutland, for the appoint
ed day, and was willingly assisted by
DIR. Little, by DIR. Elliott, Health
Officer from Manchester, Miss Clark,
two other nurses and a practical
nurse from the village. The Com
mittee were CALAMITY on hand; and
some of the anxious mothers, to as
sist with a nurse, in helping the
children out from ether; most OF
them seemed to revive at about the
same time, which made a very abb
sorbing, a really scrambling; task OF
it.
There were eighteen small patients
for tonsils and ad.noids; and not
room nor time for several more, I'M
fortunately, who came bravely with
out their breakfasts, and sat patient
ly; finally having to go back home,
taking their tonsils with them. Later
in the day, in the first stages of con-
valescence, Mrs Little supplied the
ward very generously with ice cream
In fact; the moral value of that ice
cream cannot be ver-estimated; as
each child was assured of all that IL
was possible to eat afterwards. MOST
of them could be taken home that
night. Those who stayed until morn
ing, under the convoy of Miss Clark
and one or two mothers who request
ed permission, were given break

dollars an operation. Four children
paid the ten dollars. These children
were able to go to hospital else
where, or to have excellent care and
surroundings at home, but they were
brought to the Church Hospital; in
order to help make the experiment a
success. The other children paid
exactly what they could, in each
case. The rest of the money was
raised by subscription in the village,
and made up by the local Red Cross
organization.
1t is generally hoped that this
experiment will be tried again. For
the day was considered by the whole
community, to have been a tremend-
Gus success; busy parents and little
children are now reaping an inestim-
able benefit; and perhaps at this safe
distance, the children-remembering
the unlimited bowls of ice-cream,
are willing to admit it, too. One
mother of many; who was very fear
full about trusting any of her chill
dren to this experience, brought two
of them; finally-but very, very dubi-
ously, now, she beams, so they say,
whenever she meets a member of the
Committee on the street this winter,
and promises to fetch along the
rest of the family another year.

EDISON, the inventor, says the chief reason

Edison wears baggy suits and loose collars.

that would interfere with the circulation Of

In other words, he doesn't saw cross-grain

In wintertime, on streets Of cities that have

weather and icy wind.
A man, with a high starched collar aud
wooden muffler around his neck, marvels that
the flimsy-drcssed flappers fail to die of pncu-
monia.
The reason is simple: The flapper dresses
loosely, allowing her blood to circulate freely
enough TO keep her warm.
Her grandmother. in girlhood. had to bundle

STREET CLEANING

C1GNS Of increased activity by the city's
street cleaning department are encouraging.
II is to be hoped they will develop into
some kind Of systematic aud sustained effort to
keep at least the paved streets fairly clean.
There have been times during the past few
weeks when the gentle zephyrs common TO this
fair land in spring-time have raised dust storms
on Central avenue and other paved streets in
and out Of the business district quite equal to
the best storm scenes Of those picturesque days
when all the streets of Albuquerque were sur
faced with sand and neatly pulverized adobe.
There is not much encouragement to prop
crty owners TO invest their net earnings, after
paying taxes. il any, in paying for street paw
ing il the principal advantage of street paving.
cleanliness, is not obtained.
II appears that the flushing Of streets now
being done is due to the fact that many visitors
are passing through Albuquerque and that
there is a desire TO favorably impress them.
This is a commendable desire. II would be
much more commendable to have in mind the
comfort Of the considerable number of home
folks who live on these streets every day in the
year and 10 whom cleonliness is quite as desir-
able as making a good impression upon an oc-
casional train-load of visitors.
We note that street employees are TO arise
and 90 about their labors an hour earlier in
the morning and that street sprinklers are to
work at night. This is fine, provided there are
enough street cleaners and street sprinklers TO
cover the territory. II the city's street cleaning
equipment is not adequate il should be made
so. Property owners who are willing to invest
in street paving are entitled TO have that paving
kept clean, not only when there are visitors in
town, but every day in the year.
