Diet, Climate, Hygiene
May Affect SinuSes
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

0y -" A0S
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magaziue
You'd be only partly right if you blamed sinus in
lection Of children on such controllable things as
bad ventilation, damp houses and clothing. and ex-
posture to cold. The remainder Of the causes for this
troublesome condition will be found in circumstances
that permit the infectious germ to multiply and make
things worse.
Such circumstances include deficient general hy-
giene. errors Of diet, bad climatic conditions, and not
infrequently ~abnormalities in structure Of the nose,
and enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
The sinuses begin to develop when the child is young,
but may not attain their full growth until the fiji
teenth year of age. BY the fifth or sixth year, they
are large enough to cause trouble If they become in
fected.
Complications may affect the brain, the ears. or
other structures associated with the sinuses.
You can tell a child with a chronic sinus infection
BY the fact that it is ~palefaced and easily fatigued.
Usually there is a fairly chronic running Of the nose
and some difficulty in breathing.
The child gets well from one cold only to catch an-
other. There is a loose cough, which gets worse at
night and in the early morning. There is also loss
OF appetlte, deficient general development, ana inter-
mittent or constant hoarseneSs.
Headaches occur in 20 per cent Of the children with
chronic sinus infection, and secondary earaches and
swellings Of the glands Of the neck are exceedingly
common.
Some persons insist that food is an exceedingly inn
portant factor in relation to sinus infections. One
even goes SO far as to say that a deficiency Of vita
min A Is Of chief Importance.
Another argues that when there is an excess Of
starch and meat in the diet the sinuses become af-
fected. Still another feels that the lack Of calcium
is the important factor.
The mere fact that these different opinions are
offered would seem to indicate that the person who
is likely to be infected should eat a well-balanced diet
with all the important vitamins, mineral salts, and
proteins II he wants to keep his body in the best pos
sible shape to avoid infection.
We know that infections OF the sinuses are much
more frequent in some parts Of the world than in 9TH
es. and that in the United States the areas around
great bodies Of water develop more cases Of sinus in
lection than are seen in the dry southwest.
Practically everybody is agreed that enlargement OF
the tonsis and adenoids is frequently associated with
infections OF the sinuses. This does not mean, how
ever, that all tonsiis and sdenoids ought to be re-
moved.
It does mean that suitable investigation should be
made Of the tonsils and adenoids in every case. and
whenever there is any indication that they are failing
to cope satisfactorily with infections, they should be
cut out promptly.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~


But in the meantime strong fric-
tion had broken out among the Saar
Germans themselves, some being MAJ
lists, others anti-Nazists, that is, large
ly, Socialists, Communists and Catho-
licS-fOr once in the same boat. OF
course, the NazistS voted for a return
to Germany; the anti-Nazists would
not do So nor would they favor
French rule, so they took the middle
ground demanding retention of the
League of Nations commission gov
eminent. Whatever trouble Saar has
experienced recently has arisen from
the disseDsions among the Germans
far more than from controversy be-
tween the German and the French
element.
Next Problem.
With the Saar problem out of the
way, at least for the time being,
statesmen are attacking others.
There is, for instance, the question
of Austrian independence. With or
without adequate reasons it has long
been suspected that Germany wanted
to effect consolidation with that other
German-speaking nation, and to stave
off this alleged menace to European
peace many methods have been con-
sidered.
The latest appears in the form of
an agreement between France and
Italy, perfected a few days ago when
French Foreign Minister Pierre Laval
was the guest of Prime Minister Ben
ito Mussolini at Rome. These two
gentlemen realized that something
had to be done about Austria, so they
set up their agreement guaranteeing
the political independence of that ma
tion, hoping that other countries, not
| ably those of the Little Entente, would
sign on the dotted line, too.
At a conference of the Little En-
tente foreign ministers at Ljubljana
last week Czecho-Slovakia and Ru-
mania proclaimed willingness to adj
here to the Roman agreement, but
Jugo-Slavia refused on the ground
her nationals living in Italy and Au-
stria. So, for the time being nothing
has come of the Laval-Mussolini con-
versations in regard to Austria; a
foundation has been laid, and perhaps
later it will become possible to erect
a structure which will prevent Au-
| stro-German consolidation.
Rearmament.
Important agreements betwee n
France and Italy affected the North
| African possessions of these two
countries-it was matter of plain
barter and may serve to strengthen
both powers in their trans editer-
| ranean policies.
Still more far-reaching, however,
was joint statement by Laval and
Mussolini to the effect that under
present circumstances Germany would
not be permitted to increase her army
from the treaty-stipulated 100000
men to 100000.
This served to bring up again the
question of German rearmament, and
