ed to he stupid or hack> a.d, when in
leality it is sunering fiom adt-uoids,
detective eyesight, neglected teeth or
some other physical delect which can
be remedied with comparative eu e.
In lens of thousands ol t ases it has
been found that when this detect was
remedied the school pi ogress of the
child became moie rapid.
Treatment of Adenoid#,
It Is estimated that from six to ten
per cent of school children have ade
noids to sumo extent. Tins disease
usually begins about the second, third
or fourth year, increasing in severity
up to the eighth, ninth or tentn year
Adenoids are described as little lu
IU01.S in the throat just above the hack
of the opening of the nose Into the
moukh and in front of the opening
of the two small tubes by which tin*
eat s ate connected with the upper part
of the throat. In detail, they interfere
with the breathing; alter the child's
voice to a stuffy Quality; remove to a
certain extent the sense of smell;
create a new facial expression o» open 1
mouth, overlapping teeth, short up .
per lip, sn ail, narrow nose and high
arched eyebrows; and tend to inter J
fere with the hearing.
When the adenoids are recognizable
they are doing harm. If the child is
under eight or nine years of age, the
harm will almost certainly increase
and, perhaps, the injury will become
pennant nt. The operation for ade-
noids is comparatively simple. In
other words, the treatment, as com-
pared with the danger of leaving tin*
adenoids alone is a minimum danger
compared with a maximum danger.
Questions for School Board.
The responsibility for sanitary and
hygienic conditions in and about the
school house largely rests upon the j
school board. Here are some quo* ,
tions which each school board should ■
consider:
Is the water supply for the school j
clean and safe? Do s it contain sur-
face drainage?
Are there sanitary means for the |
disposal of sewage? Is the method
employed one w hich would he approv-
ed bv the state hoard of health?
Is tho school yard well drained and
a safe place for children to play?
Is the school building well light-
ed and well ventilated, so that the
children will not Injure their eyes or
suffer for fresh air?
Are the windows made so that they
will raise from the bottom or lower
from the top? Are panes in all the
windows? Are there deflectors for
ihe w ndows \\hich admit fre h a11
without causing a draft?
Are there comfortable des’-s for
all the children? Is there sufficient
black board space?
Are the arrangements for heating
the school hygienic and at the same
time such as to ensure comfort?
These questions are elementary. Un
less they can be satisfactorily an
swered a grave injustice is being don*
the school children.

TELLS Op LIFE ON SHIPBOARD
Lanman Boy Writes Letter of Trip

Just whnt life in the United States

country, situated in the center oi the
continent. Consequently, the letters
which come to the parents of the hoys
who are enlisted in that branch of
service are always Interesting for the
"breath of salt" they bring with them.
Below we print a letter received by
Mrs. J. A. Lnnmon of tnis cuy from
Mrs J. A. Lanman of this city from

COL. BALL HAS FULL SCHEDULE
El Reno Auctioneer in Demand For
Services in 12 States.
Col. F. S. Pall the El Reno auction
eer, reports that he is scheduled to act
PS auctioneer at sales on every date be-
tween now anti November 5, and has
but a few open dates left in that
month. As a result of scheduling a
number of dates outside of this coun-
ty he has been forced to refuse the
’equest® of several of the citizens of
• h a county to act as auctioneer at
their sales.
Since he declares that, ho would
rather hold the sales of the citizens
of this county who have been respon-
sible for his advancement in the auc-
tion business, Col Pall advis s any
who contemplate holding a sale to
see him at once and arrange a dat
ahead and work to it. rather than to
wait until all the dates have been con-
tracted ior.
Mr Rail is attaining much promi-
nence In auctioneering circles in this
and oth^r states, and according to a
remark made by him recently, Is add-
ing a new state to his territory almost
eyerv week Purine the past year he
ha° held sains in 12 different states on
both sides of the Mississippi river, and
exnec's to extend this territory to at
least 12 more states within the next
12 months.
One marked characteristic of the
members of the new national army is
their evident desire to cut out all this
nonsense and have the real business
begin as soon as possible.
Speaking of convincing argument,
there is whnt the friends of the home
team employs In showing you that it
could win the pennant If things were
different.
