Catarrhal Deafness

CatArrilal Dca1neSS
 What causes one to swallow when passing through a deep tun- nel or while quickly descending in an elevator?
 The answer is the feeling of a difference in air pressure against the ear drums. The act of swal- lowing opens that portion of the ear canal which communicates with the throat This allows air to enter into the inner portion of the ear canal-thus equalizing the pressure on both sides of the drum.
 For the normal function of the ear, it is important that the pres sure on both sides of the ear drum should be equal. If the pressure is greater on either side, hearing is interfered with and deafness may result. Such 8 condition is found ia catarrhal deafness.
 Because the inner portion of the ear canal (the Eustachian tube) is narrowed or blocked by catarrhal secretions, the outer pressure is greater than the inner and deaf

Important Beginnings
By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

by ALlCE JUDSON pLALE
 The first year of a child's life is as important as any that follow not only in laying down the foundations of health but also those of charac- ter.
 A baby whose routine follows an easy regularity does not often be- come enraged or peevish.
 He knows what he has to expect and likes it. He has good dispo- sition.
 The moments when mother picks him up to care for and play with him are especially happy and no doubt he wishes there were more Of them, but he learns that crying for such attentions does not bring them.
 So he stops crying and learns to amuse himself with such available distractions as a soft bunny or a bright new rattle. He has begun to learn that one can't always have what one wants and to make the best of what there is.
 When he struggles to turn over or to touch something just beyond his reach and he is helped not at all or only so much that he still ex- periences the thrill of success after effort, he is learning the rudiments of self reliance.
 When he indulges in a temper tantrum and finds himself ignored he learns that such behavior gets him nothing, and is unlikely to de- vclop tantrums as habit. Good training in eating, sleeping and elimination relegates these things to the sphere of habitual responses where they function for the comfort of the individual, 1eav- ing him free to turn his attention tc other experiences. The baby who has been badly trained in these fun damentals has a long struggle ahead of him.

FARMER BROWNS BOY HAS TO INVESTIGATE
 pr TIl,o,p,<N- NY Dr,o.,-.

For everything we hear or sec

For everything we hear or sec A plain or hidden cause must be.
 Farmer Browns Boy.
 Farmer Browns Boy was picking apples in the Old Orchard It was a beautiful day. The apples were splendid fruit and he was picking them with care. He whistled as he worked. He had been working for some time when he became aware that over in the Green Forest there Was considerable noise. He stopped to listen.
 Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow are having a great time over something" said he. Tt sounds as if they had all their relatives with them. I wonder what those scamps s-have found now. Probably it IS ~Hooty the Owl and they are just making life miserable for him. If l. Tad the time l would go over and sec what it is all about. However Eooty is able to take care of him. self, so I'll stay right here and fin -ish my job"
 For a time he paid no more at tention to the screaming of the Jays and the cawing of the Crows. After a while, however, q Merry little Breeze, hurrying from that di- rection, brought the sound of those voices very clear and strong. Once more Farmer Browns Boy paused in his work and looked over toward the Green Forest. There was note of unusual excitement in those voices. He wasn't so sure now that those Jays and these Crows were teasing Hooty the Owl. Then he mo- ticed something that he had faile to notice before. Right above the place where those Crows and Jays appeared to he was q speck high in the blue, blue sky. It was sailing round and round, round and round, right over one spot.
 That's or Nnstah Buzzard!' said Farmer Browns Boy. Hes watch ing something down below. Hes sailing round and round just as he coes when he sees something on the ground that may give him q meal after a while I wonder lF what he sees has anything to do with what those Crows and Jays are screaming about"
 Farmer Browns Boy went on with his apple picking. At the same time he kept looking and looking over toward the Green Forest. He was growing more and more curi- ous. Finally he stopped picking ap- -ples. Ut seems to me l never knew those Crows and Jays to keep UT such a screaming for so long a time" said he. T wish I could un- derstand their language. If l could understand what they arc saying, would know what it's all about Ol Mistah Buzzard hasn't lost his inter est either. He hangs right over that spot as if he were pinned up there in the sky. l don't believe it is Hooty the Owl at all. or Mistah

ness in varying degrees results.
 Complete blocking of the Eusta- chian tubes produces a deafness for all but the very high pitched sounds.
 Catarrhal deafness is common among school children, and while it is relatively easy to remedy in it's early stages, if neglected, it may lead to the permanent impairment ot hearing.
 Frequent acute or chronic infec- ticns of the nose and throat con- tribute to the development of ca- tarrhal deafness.
 Obstruction in the nose and throat, nasal polyps (small growths which develop in the nose), en- large adenoids and diseased tom sils tend to interfere with the nor- nal ventilation of the ear.

 T could refuse no request of yours" he said impressively and Dicky slapped him on the shoulder so heartily that my dignifed em- ployer almost lost his balance. My husbands face was guileless and beaming as the elder man straight ened himself with an expression in his eyes which betrayed for an in stant the active dislike ] suspected was his for Dicky.
 That's the ticket" Dicky said explosively. But, then, nobody can withstand my frau when she sets out to be hospitable. That's all set tied then. We shall expect you for breakfast Christmas morning."

But at the farmhouse Madge has a series of cages into which she drives us as soon as we arise and losses us strips of raw meat until the first p edge of our hunger is dulled. Then ss she lets us out for the regular breakfast. I'll have a nice little padded cage prepared for you if you'll join us"

 Then we're not going to tease you any more about anything else, '' II said with an effort at playfulness ~"Come Dicky, you really must, stop it. But I'm so glad you're coming ~ to dinner"

 If you promise to pull that stunt I'll take motion pictures ol it." he said, and Mir. Veritzen's eye brows narrowed.
