THE PREVENTION OF ADENoIDs

| In our discussion of the Rational Conception | of Adenoids the other day we nearly put one | over the censor. Remember? We advised giving plenty of pure RAW milk to infants and children for the prevention of adenoids and one thing and another, and we were trying to sell little CERTIFIED milk when the censor
 started out of his doze and rang the bell. Today let's get started here at the beginning It has been practically proved, particularly in England, that infants and school children who receive RAW milk have better health and bet | ter teeth and better development of jaws and nasal passages and hence less trouble from ade- | holds and enlarged tonsils, than do infants and children who receive only pasteurized or other- l wise processed or heated or cooked or sterilized | milk.
 CERTIFIED milk is the only raw milk that is universally pure and safe for infant, child | or invalid. Ordinary market milk may be free from pollution, but it is so frequently infected with the germs of tuberculosis, septic sore throat, undulant fever, etc, that some kind of disinfection is necessary for safety and most communities adopt ordinances providing that all nondescript milk offered for sale shall be par-boled. boiled or pasteuriZed to kill the disease germs that are likely to be in 1t. Pas teurzing means simply heating milk up to 145 degrees F., holding it at that temeprature for | 20 minutes then allowing it to cool again. That
 is enough heat to kill off tubercle bacill, diph-
 thera bacilli, typhoid bacilli, streptococci etc. | In many small villages country towns 1t Is | possible to buy. perhaps from a neighbor who keeps cow if you can't keep one or goat l yourself, perfectly clean, pure safe, raw fresh l milk, and where this is possible 1t is boon to l the children in any family.
 1 believe the prevention of adenoids and en- l larged tonsils is largely if not entirely ques- l tion of nutrition, and that the same nutritive | requirements as those laid down for the
 development and conservation of the teeth in
 sure also the prevention of overgrowth or hy- | pertrophy of adenoid tissue. (If you don't
 know how to conserve the teeth, send stamped
 envelope bearing your address and ask howl. The influence of the vitamin, whatever it l is in fresh RAW milk that favors the normal l development of teeth and jaws, is promoted l by the influence of plenty of sunlight on the l a ms nak kod n nys l or nudism must be regarded as healthful for | infants and children. The fashion of bare
 knees or bare legs or bare feet is commend l able. The scantness of attire which so greatly l shocks us older foges, is likewise commendable l from the viewpoint Of health. Even in mid win l ter it is hearthful to go without clothing or without this or that superfiuous garment, if one | finds it comfortable to do so. The mid d-winter
 sunshine skyshine is comparatively poor in
 ultraviolet, but still it is beneficial if it can get to the skin. & 1 In my opnion-just one of my notions---a | suitable iodin ration tends to prevent adenoid | hypertrophy. The infant should get his iodin | ration in his food or from his mothers breast. l The school child or pre-school child should get | it from food and, in regions where soil and water and hence food are poor in iodin, from
 the iodzed salt that should be used exclusively l in households in such regions The older child may require weekly dose of drop of tinc- | ture of iodin in glass of water, during most
