Los Angeles, Aug. IT R-Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother of Aimee Semple McPherson, declares that the drowning of Russell A.

 Wont you let me be the judge Of my own measure Of annoyance?" asked quickly. II can assure you that it caused me no discomfort whatever, on my own account. There was nothing in it which could offend anyone. But 1t did make mo uneasy concerning you, for l realiz- ed when I read it that you were not yourself"
 His face. which had lightcncd with relief, sobered instantly.
 Gan you tell me honestly. that it this letter were seen--let us say by your husband--or strangers--it would not cause you emharrass ment?"
 No. l cannot tell you that ] answered. "but that possibility does not warrant your running any risk in recovering it."

 Causes of Illness

iJtd-Lil CtINAtG
 A chronic "cold in the head" 50. called, is a condition that has con- tinued with or without an intermis- sion of symptoms for some months or years. Such a cold is usually spoken of as "catarrh," and the word "catarrh is very EIuch abus- cd, Before the days of the Pure Food and Drug legislation, 1t was not uncommon to find ten. twelve, or even twenty deceptive adver. tisements In our newspapers of sure cures for catarrh.
 The interruptions manufacturers of such preparations preyed upon the credulity of the public with ex- aggerated statements not only con- cerning the efficiency of their com pounds, but also with equal exag- geration concerning the terrors and horrors of this disease.
 An Inflammation
 The majority of people 10 this day still believe that catarrh is some horrible. disgusting. dangerous, and almost incurable disease. AS a mat ter of fact, 1t is usually nothing of the sort. A catarrhal condition is neither disgusting. terrible, horrible, dangerous. nor is 1t necessarily ip curable.
 Catarrh may be defined as an in- flammation of a mucous membrane with a free discharge. Any infiam- nation of any mucous membrane of the body may be accompanied by discharge, and such inflamma- tions so accompanied are, there- fore, catarrhal inflammations, Ap- pendicitis may be form. The com. mon head cold also is just as much i catarrh as k the type of the nasal | inflammation that becomes chronic.
 Sinus Trouble
 i The longer any inflammation ex. ists the more that inflammation tends to spread. In few chronic cases Is the inflammation limited te ! the mucous membrane of the nose . Usually the disease causes an in. volvement of the deeper tissues, ol spreads as has been indicated. 1 The secretions formed in sinuses and other cavities drain into tn, noe more or less imperfectly. ana Imperfect drainage tends to keep uI the inflammation fin these places.
 A few eases of chronic nasal ca atarrh when examined by a specialis show the presence of diseased bone or of infected or abscessed cavities It is necessary in most cases, in or der 10 treat properly case of ca tarrh, 10 provide drainage in or der 10 permit the complete remov al of the products of inflammation This Is the reason why Ii is some times necessary 10 remove par of the dead or diseased hone, 0 to open up imrerfectly drained ca vities.
