Eighteenth century; though Pliny, the
great Roman naturalist, does, in one
place, speak of the folly Of the use
of catanache in love philters because
of its shrinking in drying into the
shape of the claws of kite and thus
holding the patient fast"
But from Pliny to Ray, an interval
of over 1.600 years-and long before
Pliny-medical science gravely ac-
copied the doctrine of signatures" In
1894 DR.. John Ray ventured mildly to
question the doctrine and though he
was looked upon as dangerous inno-
vator the ancient superstition rapidly
lost ground until it was relegated to
the folk-medicine department Of cur

THERE IS wide difference between
L what we actually teach people in
college, or anywhere else for that mat
ter, and what we think we teach them.
My first experience illustrates the point
to my own satisfaction at least. The
exact subject was presenting does not
matter; it was only the fact that l
thought / was interesting my students,
that l was putting certain literary
facts clearly and forcefully before
them, that l was actually giving them
something definite and specific. was
really proud of the manner in which
l was carrying it off-that is, l was
until l read my first final examination
papers; then | revised my mental atti-
tude toward my talents as an instruc-
tor. No one really passed the exami-
nation. Possibly | had conveyed to
them some sort of information-they
often tell me l was good teacher
but it was certainly not the things that
I had imagined l was teaching.
l believe this result is not an I'M
common one.
Last summer near the regular time
of the return of the college student to
his old home town, l visited in the viii
hood. Most of the young people who
graduate from the local high school go
off to college, and most of these who
go off ultimately come blackstone of
them, sad to say, somewhat sooner
than their friends anticipate.
l was down at the station when Bob
Lord returned from short stay at
Michigan. He was dragging a reluc-
tant bull pup by chain, he was carry
ing q heavy golf bag respondent in
the tartan of the McGregors or some
other Scotch clan, and he was gotten
up in toys of a cut and color never
before seen on the streets of that
town. There was not golf links with
in fifteen miles, or dog fancier in the
county, so that what Bob brought home
from college was likely to do him lit
tie good at home.
A few days later George Fosbenner
blew in from Northwestern Juggling
zylophone and ukelele. From ten in
the morning when George got up, until
midnight or later when he went to rest,
the strains of the latest ragtime could
be heard yelling from the Fosbenner
front porch. 1t had been currently
reported by Georges mother that he
had been perfecting himself along COM
mercial lines at college and that he
had done well in his studies, but his
Homecoming gave no evidence of that
fact.

ADENOIDS

THE number of children afflicted
= with this disease is so great that
have no doubt the question is often
asked by anxious mothers: as there
any child that is free from them?'
Yes. there are those who haven't got
them, and others who have very little
trouble from them and who will get
over them if they are properly brought
up and have good food and good sur
roundings.
But other children are so handi-
capped by them and made so i'll, that
their removal is the only proper
course, and this may be very easily
done in most cases.
What are adenoids?
The mucous membrane of the throat
and nose normally contains what Is
called "lymphoid tissue which means
tissue resembling lymph glands and
lymph tubes.
When this Is increased and forms
Jumps which project into the nostrils
or the cavity of the throat, such Jumps
are called adenoids.
They may be no larger than a pea,
or, they may be of greater size and in
lunches like small grapes.
The larger they are, the i-ore they
will obstruct the air passage in the
nose and throat, one who has them
being compelled to breathe through
his mouth instead Of his nose, as he
ought to.
The result will be that the mucous
membrane will constantly be dry
dust and germs will find easy entrance
TO the mouth; and the development
ef the child thus afflicted will be him
dered.
Nobody has any monopoly of ade-
noids; they occur at all ages, to the
infant and the old man or woman,
but they are most common and trou-
blese.ne in children from eight TO
twelve.
In children, they are soft; they
absorb poisons readily and furnish an
excellent medium for the culture and
development of disease germs. In
adults, they are harder, and bacteria
cannot grow so readily npon them.
Remember that children suffer most
frequently from infectious diseases,
and then you can understand how
easy 1t is to catch them by means Of

OUR CHAMPION BABY
KILLER

NNE hundred and fifty years ago,
~ Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather
of Charles Darwin, himself a noted
scientific man, said: "No one could do
a greater service to humanity than by
showing the human race how to pre-
vent scarlet fever"
In the century and half since OAR
win, no progress has been made In
controlling this disease until the last
two years. Scarlet fever has gone on
destroying human life and principally
baby life, without any human power
being able to stop it or even reduce it.
In an article on scarlet fever and
public health published in a recent
issue of the Southern Medical Journal
DR.. w. c. Rucker, assistant surgeon
general Of the United States public
health service, estimates that there
were, in the three years from 1920 to
1923, 100000 cases of scarlet fever in
the registration area. The registration
area includes 50 per cent of the popu-
lation. So that the total number of
the cases of scarlet fever in the entire
United States for these three years
would be about 100000. or 10000 chill
dren every year who suffer from this
disease. Nine out of every ten cases
are among children under ten. Most
of the deaths are among children I'M
der six.
Awful, as these figures are, they do
eIo IL
ture theater panic or a schoOlhouse
fire, in which a handful of children ara
killed or injured. Scarlet fever is such
an old enemy that we have become
accustomed to its ravages and re-
signed to the destruction of child life
which it causes every year.
But today. for the first time in hui
man history, there is real hope. Old
Erasmus Darwin's wish is about to be
realized. Scarlet fever has distinctly
joined the group of preventable dis
eases.
The work of the Dicks of Chicago
makes 1t possible not only to cure this
disease but to prevent it. The serum
which they have made is like diphthe-
ria antitoxin. One drop injected into
the, skin shows whether the child is
susceptible or immune. Nearly so per
cent of children are protected by nat
ural immunity. No need to worry
about them. The remaining 20 per
cent can be made immune by syringe
full of serum.
Any county or any town, any school
or any family can absolutely protect
its children against this baby killer if.
it wants to. The remedy is there. 1t
only needs intelligence enough to use
it to wipe out this age-old scourge Of
child life.

a PROMINENT minister, a highly
educated man, delivered an adj
dress recently in which he referred to
present-day knowledge of disease as
the germ theory" Evidently the emf
nent gentleman regards our knowl-
edge of disease and infection as
theory.

manufacturers a few weeks ago and
heard a discussion participated in by
hard-headed business men, managers
of great corporations, but I didn't hear
any of them refer to present-day meth

and vegetables and fruits as the
germ theory of canning" To them
it was not theory but proven fact.

ed hundreds of millions of dollars in
factories and equipment. No one ex-
presses any doubt as to our ability

millions of tons of food, to protect
it from spelling" to keep it in ware
houses or stores for years If neces-
s;.ry and to find it, when the cans are
opened, sound, sweet and healthful
food.
Everyone admits that. If you doubt
1t you have only to step inside any
grocery store, buy can of any kind
of food and open il.
Yet the whole business of preserv-
ing foods is based on exactly the same
theory" as the doctors knowledge OF
disease and the surgeons ability to
treat any wound in the human body
so that it will heal without infection.
Our grandmothers knew only two

If they put meat or corn or toma-
toes in jars and put them away they
would spoil" Doctors knew that if
they opened patients abdomen @
skull or knee joint the patient would
''spoil"; that is, infection would set
in that would poison the patient and
endanger his life more than the origi-
nal disease.
About 1850 Louis Pasteur proved by
a long series of experiments that pu-
trefactiOn in food and infection in the
body were both caused by little plant
like bodies floating in and carried by
the air; that if fruit or meat was
heated enough to kill all these little
plants and the food was then sealed
up in alright cans, the food would
keep indefinitely; and that if the pa

instruments and everything that came
in contact with the wound were made

constantly jOstled and confused by a

The real Althea, which comes from
the Greek word meaning healthy or
wholesome. belonged in ancient times
to the unfortunate mother of Melea-
ger. 1t persisted as feminine name
in ancient Greece, but is now more
often used to designate genus of
mallows, or rather to allude to their
healing power.
1t comes to US through literary chan

anything like common usage.

Over on the Klein piazza, cool, fresh
ly dressed and comfortably curled up
in an easy chair, / could see Marie,
lately returned from the State uni
versity where her brother told me she
was taking domestic science, but now
with copy of Ibsen or the latest mag
azine in her hand, she was cultivating
her literary tastes or perhaps just en-
joying herself. No one has servants
in my native town, so / could infer
with a certainty that Maries mother
was out in the hot kitchen washing the
breakfast dishes or stirring up some
thing good for luncheon. Maries do
nestle science was theory only-she
shyed little at the practice, and let
mother do the work.
l had occasion one day to drive out
into the country, and in my wander
ings l encountered Sam Warren. Sam
had been registered in the State Agri-
cultural college, but he had not been
thought by any means the brightest
boy in his class. In fact Sans col
lege record if judged by the grades
recorded in the registrars books would
have pointed pretty clearly to the fact
that Sam was a 'bonehead." He had
been out of college now two years and
had time to turn such information and
training as he had acquired to some
practical purpose.
The Warren farm had been worked
for a long time; the soil was i'm
poverished and the buildings had be-
gun to look pretty dilapidated when
Sam went to college. "A first glance
now would show that there had been
a complete regeneration. The fences
were as trim as they could be made !;
the buildings were shining with fresh
paint, and everything about the place
was neat and orderly. There were
fields of alfalfa and clover; sheep were
grazing in the pasture; there was mod
ern machinery everywhere; and it was
plain to see from the healthy grain
and cornfields that somebody had been
giving attention to the SOIL
I found on inquiry that Sam had not
only reyolutiOnized things on his own
farm, but that he was looked upon as
a regular oracle by the neighbors who
took his advice and followed his
methods.
l am not railing against a college
EDUCATION. | believe in it strongly
The only thing l meant to say in these
few paragraphs is that you can't al
ways tell what man is going to bring
home from college. Sam Warren was
undeniably the dullest of the four stu
dents referred to; he would have adj
mitted il himself; and yet he had
learned more in his two years of col
lege than 81 the rest of them.
