ADENOIDs AND DEAFNESS IN
 SCHOOL CHILDREN

OO1OOk OnAADAEN
 The Eustachian tubes are canals about IF inches long connecting the pharynx or throat back of the nasal cavity with the tympanic of middle ear cavity-the part of the ear containing the famous ham, mer, anvil and stirrup just inside the eardrum.
 The fuction of this tube is to ventilate the ear cavity, and keep the air pressure within the ear the same as the external air pressure. If the pressure within the ear were diff ferent from that outside the vi- brations of the tympanum or ear drum and the transmission of sound would be affected
 The opening of the Eustachian tube into the pharynx, up behind the read margin of the soft palate and out of sight except by ref1ec- tion by pharyngeal mirror, is nor mally closed and is not affected by ordinary breathing. It is opened reflexly when one sallows, yawns or SneeZeS.
 The peculiar sensation experi- enced on ascending in an unsual altitude, either by flying, driving, or by train, is due to rarefaction of the air with lowering of eXter- nal air pressure while the air within | the ear cavity remains at about the same pressure it was before the ascent. Instinctively the sensation induces the act of swallowing or perhaps yawning. which opens the Eustachian tube and permits the air pressure in the ear to become ] equalized with the external air pressure, and the discomfort ceases
 In various forms of acute and chronic rhinitis or inflammation in nose and throat the Eustachian tubes may be partly occluded so that ventilation is interferred with and more or less deafness occurs. Sometimes this is best corrected Gin the absence of acute infection) by infiating the Eutachian tubes either indirectly or directly. Direct imitation is done by the physician through a chatheter inserted in the orifice of the tube; indirect imitation may be accomplished by a simpler maneuver which should be done only under the physicians direction.
 Close to the orifice of the Eusta- chian tube in the pharynx is a small mass of typhoid tisseu, of the same character as the tissue com- posing the tonsils and the pharyn- zeal tonsil of adenoid body. Thick ening or chronic inflammation of this tube tonsil, as it is called, is a common cause of deafness in chil- dren, from partial obstruction of the tube. Drs. Grove and Baylor consider this the most common type l of middle ear deafness in adults or rather this condition, in children between the ages or five and fifteen years, most commonly leads to such deafness in adults. They found that small doses of x-ray or radimum or both, given to children having thickening of the tube aonsil, pre- vent such deafness in most cases.
 It is becoming the practice in well administered schools to ex- anime all children in the primary grades once year for this and similar causes of deafness, and to give children with enlarged tube tonsils few X-ray or radium treat ments.
 Early manifestations of the con- dition are retraction of the eardrum and impairment of hearing for the high tones with good hearing for low tones.

 Q. What is the correct method for pressing mems trousers?
 A. First place the waistline over the wide end of the ironing board cover with damp pressing cloth and press every portion of the waist line and pockets. Next, place one leg of the trousers flat on the ironing board with the puff on the knee on top. Iron this puff. The dampness of the pressing cloth causes the stretched knee to shrink back to it's original proportions. When both knees have been ironed, lift the trousers from the board and fold where the creases should be. Be sure to put the trouser legs seam to seam the entire length of the leg Place them in this position on the board, then fold one leg back so the other can be pressed first. Before this is covered with the pressing cloth, shape the leg as it was when the trousers were new. When finish ed. the other leg is pressed in the same way.
