So many young mel get into trouble
from foolishness and not needing the
good advice OF their elders and 50
there is no conceivable reason why
their families should suffer more
than they do on their account. The
young man will then know that you
are sincere. honest and courageous
in facing the truth and fearlessly
telling Il. even at the risk OF your
own happiness.

arrived there was much campaign

and said we wouldn't wear them.
Well. the designers compromised Just
about an inch or two. and now we
raise our eyebrows when we see q

was true OF the battle OF the waist
line. We were so used 20 having our
waistline misplaced around the hips

the after effects OF scarlet fever or

II Is a thing which should not be
neglected. Medical knowledge today
affords many methods OF relief from
deafness. If taken in time appropri-
ate treatment may bring about fun
recovery.
The deaf child labors under many
difficulties. His deafness cannot but
affect his disposition. Many a deaf
child becomes retiring and morose.
He cannot hear hts teacher or what
the class is saying. His contacts
with the other children are difficult.

A little over q year ago, the Bureau Of Edu-
cation Of the United States Department Of the
Interior made a report on this subject It gave
the unpleasant news that more than three million
children in the United States have impaired hear
ing. This is a serious matter.
Probably the most common cause of deafness
Is eatarrh. The common cold may develop into
catarrh. The inflammation of the mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat extends up the
passageways to the middle ear. This produces
what is called middle ear deafness"
There can be no doubt that pus absorption
from any part of the body will greatly lower
the resistance to disease. Fermenting substances
in the intestinal tract produce poisons which
affect the whole system. Catarrhal troubles are
considerably influenced by their absorption.
