that the more progressive will not
accept person who has had rheum-
atism until he has his tonsils re-
moved. The reason for this is that
as long as the diseased tonsils re-
main the person may have further
attacks Of the rheumatism. Each at
| tack of rheumatism is likely to cause
heart disease. Heart disease causes
| death.
Insurance Problem
1t is a business proposition with
the insurance companies. They wait
until one has had rheumatism to
have the tonsils removed Why wait
that long? Why shouldn't they be
removed after showing their ten
dency to disease by two attacks of
sore throat?
Among the other toxic symptoms
should just be mentioned the intense
ly painful neuralgia and cases of
neuritis which, if not of too long
standing, may be benefited by re-
moval Of the tonsils.
Goitre symptoms, such as nervous
ness, tremor and palpitation, are at
times due to infection of the tonsils.
Removal of the tonsils is frequently
practiced in such cases and in certain
cases results in such improvement
that the more serious operation on
th@ h1 10I ,fs1
necessary can be done with much
less hazard.
Hinders' Breathing
Now, consider the mechanical or
pressure symptoms of enlarged ton
sils and adenoids. Those resulting
from massive adenoid growth have
become quite well recognized. When
the adenoids enlarge they tend to
close off the nose from the throat.
This leads to mouth breathing, with
its associated stupid expression.
Further enlargement leads to pres
sure upon the eustachian tube, with
more or less difficulty in hearing,

dren-a further mark of their stu
pidity. Small wonder they are con-
sidered backward in mental develop
ment and fail to keep up with their
classmates. There is great pleasure
for parent, doctor and teacher in
noting the rapid mental and physical
development in such child follow
ing the removal of the adenoids. The
mouth no longer hangs stupidity
open. With the improvement in
hearing the former dullness changes
to interest and as a result progress
in school and in social activities
rapidly returns to normal.

brains and intelligence and can quick
ly discover il you are lying. You
can't lie and get away with it. No
salesman in the world ever made a
success by lying. Some foolish ones
have tried to do so. Some men just
naturally think it is smart to lie.
but the statesmen who lie are always
broke, looking for new jobs, drifting
from town TO town and they don't
last or make good.
Sometimes they are smart men in
every way; bright, snappy and good
takers and good statesmen, but they
lie themselves out Of one job after
another. 1t is strange that they can
not see it, cannot understand. cannot
know from their own experience that
the truth is always the best; that an
honest sale is the only sale; tIat a
crooked sale is no sale at all, and
beyond anything else, man who
tells the truth, the salesman who
sells the goods on the square. hon.
estly, is respected by his customers
and friends and respects himself.
Stick to the truth always, boys,

do, great statesmen.

OF Ten Days.

RESUMPTION of work in the city
engineering department following a
ten day tie-up resulting from the open
breach between the street commission
or and city engineer. was announced
by d. u. Hsrrigan in a formal state
ment given out Saturday. The office
had been swamped with work. the
city engineer said, and it will require
several weeks to catch up. Appllca-
tions BY the score, he said. have been
filed for sidewalk and curbing lines
and grades and lines and grades for
sewers. all of which involve q large
amount Of work. Bad weather. is

TEXAS CATTLEMEN
CAN EXPECT BETTER
PRICES FOR STOCK
Ranchmen With Good Col
lateral Can Get Plenty
of Money.

San Angelo, Tex, Feb. 17.-Strong'
er prices and a good demand for cat
tie fit to go TO Kansas or on the
market anywhere, making cows and
younger steers worth more, may be
expected by livestock raisers in West
Texas from the T. & L. railroad to
the Rio GranUe.
This is the optimistic outlook J. W
Scheuber of Kansas City, vice-presi'
dent Of the Drovers' Cattle Loan Com
pany. presented while in San An,
CELLO this week. He was accompanied
by L. w. Nicodemus, inspector at
Midland and Carroll Bates, inspector
in the San Angelo section, and H
Skinner, cattle buyer from Vinita,
Okla.
Mr.. Scheuber attended the meeting
of the Kansas Livestock Association
in Wichita, Kan. the first week in
February and said that an optimistic
feeling prevailed with lots of steer
buyers talking stronger prices"
There is no trouble TO get money
to put steers on grass if the ranch
man has the collateral" said Mr..
Scheuber. You read good deal
about legislation at Washington TO
extend credit TO the producer. As
matter of fact, there is plenty of
money available. What the stockman
needs is collateral. He should get it
this spring in big calf, lamb and kid
crops.
Il have seen more calves on the
ground IN West Texas at this season
Of the year than ever before. which
with good range. insures big calf
crop this fall and a splendid prospect
for next year. Mr.. Skinner and |
have been agreeabl! surprised at the
excellent condition of this part of the
country. The season appears TO be two
months ahead of time.
Cows are looking up and there will
be n fair demand at advanced prices
this spring owing to the fact that the
majority of the cattle in the Texas
Panhandle and Oklahoma are gone due
to liquidation, and New Mexico has
been cleaned out by drought. The
future breeding country of the South
west is going to be south Of the It. <
p. railroad to the Rio RrHnde. It
is only a question of time until cows
will be worth considerable more money
than they are now. There are less
2-year-old steers in the country now
than in several years because Of the
baby beef movement. Aged steers in
this immediate territory are also
scarce now"
The 1923 calf crop in this area Of
West Texas should average 81 per cent
and sheepmen should get lamb crop
Of 100 per cent, even If no more rain
falls. Mr.. Bates estimates. Mr.. Rates
is a veteran officer and former Texas
Ranger captain and has been an in
spector for the Drovers' Cattle Loan
Company of Kansas City for several
years.
