ENLARGED TONSILS AND
 ADENOIDS

Masses of lymphoid, round cell, adenoid tissue situated on either side of the soft palate near the base of the tongue are called the faucial or throat tonsils. A third mass of the same tissue in the roof of the pharynx up out of sight be- hind the soft palate is called the pharyngeal tonsil or adenoid body
 Nearly always when the visible faucial tonsils are enlarged (hyper- trophied, as doctors say} the phar- yngeal tonsil is likewise enlarged or hypertrophic.
 Considerable hypertrophy of fau- cial and pharyngeal tonsil tissue, anc of the same type of tissue elsewhere in the body--(as, for example around the opening from the cecun or large bowel into appendix)-i 8 normal, beneficient condition 1T childhood and early youth. Int lymphoid tissue plays a role in ,tht natural defense of the body against bacterial invaders and probably ir the development of natural immun- ity.

or handicap from purely mechani- cal obstruction to breathing; or no impairment of hearing from me- chanical obstruction or occlusion of the orifices of the Eustachian tubes in the throat; or no evident re- tardation or interference with normal growth and development (from anoxia or deficient oxygen ation incident to difficult breath ing). :.
 As I have said many times, 1t is in every instance a matter of your doctors opinion whether your complaint is likely to be due to focal infection and whether the spetie focus responsible for the trou- ble is situated in a tonsil. There is no positive way to determine this It is wholly question of your doc tors best judment.
 Some pathologists who have studied the tonscils thoroughly con- clude it IS diffciult to draw the line between normal and infected tonsils For instance Dr. H. F. Wilkinson reported in Archives of Otolaryn- gology all of ten thousand pairs of tonsils showed evidence of infec- tion, if the presence of leukocytes in the crypts and Liberation of the epithelium are an indication of in- lection.
 Unfortunately no one knows pre- cisely what function or what pur- pose the tonsils serve. Of course the near-doctors and the queer-doctors will speak quite positively about 1t but I repeat no one knows whether lymphoid, adenoid or round-cel tissue in the tonsils and elsewhere in the body merely functions in the defense against invading germs and in maintaining immunity, or wheth- CT it may also have some influence on growth and development.
 Lymphoid hypertrophy Chicken. ing or enlargement of tonsils anc adenoids) is one of the distinctive features of allergy. The very larg- est of chronically enlarged tonSil: are often seen in children who suf- fer from allergy = hypersensitivity to this or that foreign protein (nitrogenous substance entering the system through some route other than normal digestion), most com monly one or more food proteins.

A mart way to add to your col- lection of costume jewelry! Make this clever necklace of gold and sil- yer nuggets-really chick peas in disguisel
 All you need is a handful of chick peas-75 to be exact.
 First soak the peas until they can be pierced with 8 needle. Then string them, holding the peas as shown in diagram-36 on one thread, 39 on another. Allow them to dry.
 Then dip the string of 36 into clear shellac, liquid gold bronze, and shellac again, hanging up to dry be- tween baths.
 The other string of 39 you dip in shellac and liquid silver paint. When dry, restring the peas on stout white thread, doubled. Fasten ends of threads to clasp.
 Or make a bracelet of safety pins and sealing wax. Or 8 peanut bou- tonniere!

a period of loneliness and fear that did something to her easy self-as- surance. In few years she married again-but the marriage was a step down for her.
 She still hasn't put down any roots or grown up with the years. All that she has to offer is an older, more worn picture of what she was ten years ago. What she didn't realize when she married the first time or when she married the second is that there is only one way for woman to build and that is for permanence. Women used to realize that-but a great many of them lose sight of 1t today in their, eagerness not to be tied down, not to be "a typical housewife"

 A. The best meringues are baked in an oven so slowly that IS to 20 minutes are required to brown them.
 Q. What Is the best method for laundering curtains?
 A. Measure both dimensions of the curtains before laundering, in order that they may be stretched to the correct size. Use general methods of laundering but handle the curtains carefully in the Suds, squeezing and working them rather than rubbing. If machine is used inclose the curtains in net or mus lin bags. Rinse and blue white cur- tains as in washing ordinary fab rics. Dry curtains in stretchers, or spread on a sheet on the floor, mark off the size desired, and pin the cur tains to it, stretching where neces- sary.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Sodium Perborate Not So Good

 Billy said he'd eat if he could take his plate to the kitchen. She thought that one over. It flashed on her that her husband was very strict and kept reminding them of their man. ners. They were afraid and lost their capacities.
 It has 8 certain lesson. Children need to be taught manners, surely, but more pleasantness at table is a wonderful aid to appetite.
