THE ToNsIL QUESTION

Shall my child who has had an
occasional sore throat have the ton
sils and adenoids removed? This
question should be met by every par
ent truly interested in the future
health of his children.
To bring the subject to point,
the dogmatic statement is made that
every one over the age of five who
has had two attacks of sore throat
such as to put him in bed should
have the tonsils and adenoids re-
moved. BY removed" is meant
completely removed, not merely
clipped or burned.
The above statement holds good,
no matter how small or how pink
and normal the surface of the ton
sils may look during the period fol-
lowing the attacks Of sore throat.
Very often only very small amount
of the surface of the tonsil is seen
on examining the throat, the major
portion of the tonsils being hidden
under the other throat tissues.
Original Function Uncertain
Consider first the nature and
structure OF the tonsils and adenoids
and see wherein their danger lies.
Their original function is uncertain
They may have been intended to
act as filters Of disease germs. AT
any rate they do pick up lot of
disease germs. Continuing the com
parison with a filter, you know that
filter becomes dirty and has to be
cleansed or it's usefulness is lost and
it serves no longer to purify but
to contaminate further Unfortu-
nately, we cannot take out and
cleanse and replace our tonsils;
when they become clogged with dis
ease germs they lead to formidable
array of diseases which cannot be
cured until the tonsils are removed
because the tonsils are the source
of the poison pouring into the blood.
These poisons are carried by the
blood to distant parts Of the body
and lead to a great variety Of COM
plants. These are known as the
toxic results. They are many and
varied and frequently hard to rec
ognize as due to disease of the
tonsils.
Among these complaints, acute
and chronic rheumatism and heart
trouble" are probably most common.
1t should be generally known that
diseased tonsils are responsible for
large proportion of the cases of
rheumatism and of heart disease.
This knowledge is gradually getting
to the life insurance companies 80
that the more progressive will not
accept a 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 business proposition with
the insurance companies. They walt
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, II 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

A report issued by the British Min
istry of Agriculture shows that in
the four years following the close of
the war, 1880 applicants were pro-
vided with land under the govern
ment plan of setting up British ex-
service men on small agricultural
holdings. The acreage taken over
by the service veterans was 1858 ,4O7
acres. According to the Ministrys
figures, as received by the Bankers
Trust Company of New York, only
SIS per cent Of the men who received
holdings have abandoned their farm
undertakings. The report indicates
that a large proportion of the ex-ser-

of such a building in brick has been

approximately $4,000 less. Mr..

necessary to hold preliminary con-

times, and those standing at the end
of the third round were eligible for
the finals. The last two periods in
the afternoon were devoted to this
contest About a hundred entered
the contest. Quite a number stood
up for about an hour, and then the

there were only two left standing

POISON Q L BILL.

The bill before the Legislature to
make it q felony to manufacture,
sell or have in possession liquor OF
a deadly poisonous character should
become a law forthwith. and that 1t
would be rigidly enforced no one
will question.
The people are against poisonous
liquor. They do not agree with the
prohibition lecturer who a few
months ago said it would be q good
thing 10 kill off the persons who
drank and that TO 10 so would be
the proper solution Of the liquor
question.
In favor of such a law there VIII
be the power Of public sentiment.
One need have no fear OF a jury not
, convicting those who violate 1t and
of courts sentencing the offenders
to prison.
Far different will it be from a
Law against which there IS a division
of sentiment. Where a man deiib-
orately makes and sells a connection
of wood alcohol, which knowingly
or unknowingly will cause the death
of persons drinking. it, he is guilty
Of manslaughter and the laws OF Ne
vada should so recognize it and the
people will not be slack about seeing
that Il is enforced.

IDLE ACRES.

Yes, as suggested by a local news
paper, Nevada might gain by having
a state press bureau. Its purpose
would be to bring to the attention of
passing tourists the agricultural and
other opportunities offered by the
state.
That many ranchers from Idaho
and elsewhere have passed through
Nevada looking for land, almost al
ways headed for California, is true.
A press bureau would be good as
far as it would go, but no further.
1t would not cure the fundamental
trouble with Nevada's agricultural
settlement, which is the water ques-
ton. What Nevada needs most of
all is a system for water develop
ment, and that in a manner to make
its cost and the cost of its use come
within the mean of the settler.
There is not a state in the west with
so much good vacant land, but on
the other hand there is not a state
with so little opportunity for irrigat-
ing its land and thus making Its cul-
tiyation feasible.
To provide a water supply for Ne
vada's millions of acres Is a Dig
problem II is so large that it Is
beyond the financial powers of The
state and one at which the nation
hesitates and balks. But it Is not an
impossible problem. II will be done
IN the future by impounding the wa
tiers that now flow off the snowy
mountains in springtime, by artesian
wells ard by making use OF The wind
as power to pump ii fre.n the places
where I; may be had in shallow wells.
When these things come to pass
there viii be 10 need of an arti-
fetal agency TO attract attention TO
Sevada's vacant lands. Solve the
water problem and put its solution
OF landhunters in Nevada.
Outside of this there is another
matter of transitory nature to inter
fere with land settlement. II Is the
fact that economic and tr%ansporta-
ton conditions are such hat farm
inB loT tht tlluc DtinS - al uhdl-
tractive business at best. As long
as railway rates are what they are
farmers will go to Clifornia. where
rates are in their favor. in search OF
land for cultivation.
Next to the water problem in Ne
vada that OF transportation stands a
good second.
For the state or any part o. organ
ization thereof to be a party to plac-
ing people on land where by reason
OF impossible conditions they can do
no other than starve would be a
crime. To remove those conditions
would be constructive aud patriotic
as well as i'm the interest OF the de-
sired settler himself.
