If child cannot breathe with it's mouth closed the hack part of the nose and throat is filled up with enlarged glands that must be removed before the child can become healthy. In all large cities an appalling number of children with this trouble are brought to the hos pitals from the public schools. and it has been found that by far the greater number are foreign-born or live in the poorer sections of town amid surround ings that are unhygienic in the ex- treme..

ST. PETERS CHAIR

The festival of St. Peters chair. celebrated with great solemnity and splendor in St. Peter's Rome, had it's origin in the eighth century-possibly even earlier than that time The chair old, plain and worn. on which St. Peter is said to have been pontificated, is en- shrined by magnificent throne, sup ported by four gigantic figures, and mounted upon tribune decorated by Michel-angelo. The throne stands in the great nave, behind the altar of St. Peters.
 The Nenetians once. claimed to pos sess the chair of St. Peter. but it was discovered about a century ago that this supposedly sacred article bore the inscription There is but one God and Mahomet is His Prophet" It is sup posed that this chair was brought from the Crusaders.
