ADENOIDS
HE number of children afflicted
with this disease is so great that
asked hy anxious mothers:

Yes, there are those who haven't got

What are adenoids?
The mucous membrane of the throat
and nose normally contains what is
called “lymphoid tissue,” which means
tissue resembling lymph glands and
Iymph tubes.
When this Is increased and forms
lumps which project into the nostrils
‘or the cavity of the throat, such lumps
are called adenoids.
Trey may be no larger than a pen,
or they may be of greater size and in
bunches, like small grapes.
The larger they dre, the more they
will obstruct the alr passage in the
nose and throat, one who has them
being compelled to breathe through
his mouth instead of his nose, as he
ought to.
The result will be that the mucous
membrane will constantly be dry;
dust and germs witli find easy entrance
to the mouth; and the development
of the child thus afflicted will be hin.

Nobody has any monopoly of ade

but they are mo&t common and trou.

twelve.
In children, they are soft: they
abgorh poisons readily and furnish an
excellent medinm for the culture and
development of disease germs. In
adults, they nre harder, and bacterin

Remember that children suffer most
frequently from infections diseases,

Older children with adenolds are

ALTHEA
NE of the most confusing names In
feminine nomenclature is Althea.
Extraordinarlly beautiful and belong-
ing absolutely to the aristocracy, it Is
constantly jostled and confused by a
host of other names. Althea, be It
sald, is an individual. The name
means wholesome, and not true, as Is
generally believed. The Jatter sig
nificance ls generally given because it
is confused with the name Alathea,
sometimes known as Letty, |
The real Althea, which comes from
the Greek word menning healthy or
wholesome, belonged in ancient times
fo the unfortunate mother of Melen-
ger. It persisted as a feminine name
in ancient Greece, but is now more
often used to designate a genus of
mallows, or rather to allude to thelr
healing power,

color of the hat or its trimming, and
the placement of a hat is much more
than the trifling Incident we usually
make of It.
Always stand before a mirror, the
larger the better, when adjusting a
hat; and, if possible, be gure to use a
hand mirror to determine actually the
right angle of the hat at back and
sides as well as at the front.
Hats, for a long time past, have been
worn low or well down on the head, so
correct head size is a detail of real Im-
portance; and it is hard to say which
is the most unfortunate, a head size
too lurge or one too small, when really
