The experience during the past summer is one that the people of that city will not welcome again.

That is one of the mary reasons why Senator Brandegee should be returned to he senate, but it should not be over- iooked that in view of the faet that he as gained an influential position there s result of years of service Con- should not lose the advantage is bound to accrue therefrom. Sen- andegee’s ability cannot be wise- y dispensed with in the upper house of congress.

Because of the nuisance causel by such a flood of jitneys Norwich was forced to restriet their operations, Oth- er citles in the stato have been forced to similar aetlon for the same reason. Where it is a case of deciding between the trolleys and the jitneys the fair- minded realize that there is only one angwer. The trolleys and the jitneys each have a service to render. As long ctheut no thought of sapplanting the trolleys with jitneys, but the latter have many undeveloped flelds in which they ean an be i, tham thut we should con-|render their service without taking away ider put that important office |the business of established transporta- w man who must of necessity begin|tion companies.

Cobppecticut has not suffered as some other sections of the he warking \gainst to do the impossible has bétn recog- nized by the Hartford Post after an ex- fstence of 64 years and with the pur- chase by the Hartford Times there is the same recognition of the trouble that has been encountered by newspapers in New York, St. Louis, Philadelphia and many other cities. The acquisition by The Times removes a competitor in the evening field though such competition can by no means be advanced as the reason for the absorp-, tion. This will leave Hartford with but two daily papers and the deal comes just as The Times has occupied its new and attractive home which will hence- forth be ome of the show places of the city. The Post has had its ups and downs. It has swung from the morning to the evening field and been beth partisan and independent. It was to the Post that the late Isaac Bromley went from his successful editorship of The Bulletin way back in the late 60°s. Many men DEVOID OF JUSTICE.

Public Health Service _—___——z_.-_.__| Adenoids Nature intepds that we should breathe through the nose and has so arranged matters that the air is strained, warm- ed and moistened as it passes through the nose. This js very important. Unfortunately 1 Oper cen all children have adenoi or more of which _inter- @ fere with free breathing through the nose. So many serious results follow | this condition that parents shouid learn something about adenoids . and their treatment. What Are Adenoids Inasmieh as are . tucked away up behind t and are therefore out of sig ¢ be well to study the picture shawn above. The air w0 the lungs as shown by the \t the place marked “A a kind of m filter impurities cushior is formed ‘of denoid tissue” and is h makes up the ton- denoid tissue grows ab- it forms whht are known as From the position of these adenoids as shown on the diagram it will readily be seen how easily they interfere | With proper nasal breathing. What Adenoids Do One of the first results of the growth of adenoids is mouth breathing. When I this condition develops ,the air breathed in T ches the throat and lungs in an un- condition. Moreover, it is not ntly warmed or moistened. In a short time, therefore, such children begin to suffer from repeated colds, and show proper treztment is now undertak- en the condition soon gets worse; and the child’s nasal breathing becomes more and more obstrueted. Children who suffer from adenoids are usually pale, ofcen narrow-chested, and altogether are not as strong and robust as_are mormal children. But this is by no means all of the harm done by adenoids. They affect the voice, disfi the facial expression, in- | terfere ring, give rise to night terrors, open the way for serious inva- sion disease germs and, throazh the development of chronic nasal catarrh, may lead to loss of the sense of smell. The alteration of the facial expression is often so great that the child looks d and sometimes even half-imbecile. Quite frequently a child with adenoids is intermittently deaf, a condition responsi- ble for a number of street accidents to chiliren. 3 One of the chief disficurements caused by adencids is that< of the jaws . and teeth. This well shown in the picture. It will be noticed that the teeth of the jfipper jaw stick out and are not covered by the lap as they should be. In these cases the roof of the mouth, that is the palate, is narrow and highly arched, and the two jaws do not come tozethar as ‘they do in normal persons. This condi- tion is called “malocelusion.” Usually, 100, the teeth of the upper jaw are ir- reguler and crowded. The malformation of the teeth thus produced by adenoids may lead in turn to other serious conditions, among them the chronic disease known as pyorrhea, various forms of root infection, and chronic indigestion. How %o Recognize the Condition The presence of adenoids should be suspected if the child habitually sleeps with cpen niouth, snores a great deal, or has frequent strangling coughing smells. Sleepiig with open mouth is one of the first signs and should therefore lead at once fo a éareful examination by a phy- sician. Sometimes difficulty in hearing is one of the early symptoms, Therefore, in all cases of ear trouble an examination should be made for for adenoids. What to Do ‘Whenever adenoids are large enough to give .dise to any of tk symptoms al- ready” described, they should be removed. This, is especially the case of children under 10 years of age, for it is probable that the condition ‘will grow worse. The operation is simple and not dangerous. it should be performad under anesthesia. Relief is immediate and strength of the child usually improves rapidly after- wards. It is wrong to delay having the operation done, for the presence of ade- noids: not only endangers the chlia‘s health, but a few months' delay may cause considerable malformation. of the jaws, palate, nose and face.

VIRGINIA THE early history of Virginia revolves ahout the name of Capt. John Smith. It was his indomitable spirit which enabled the settlement at Jamestown to survive the privations and difficulties thdt encom- d it during those first years. Thére is 1607 was the first permanent English colony in America. ter given by King James I to what was the London Company, under whose auspices own and the later Virginia settlemient were founded designated that this colony should extend 200 miles north and 200 miles south from Old Point Comfort and stretch westward to the sea. Under the reign of Charles II it was considered such an import- ant colony that it was called .the fourth dominion of his empire, that is, England, Scotland, Ireland and Virginia. From this Vir- zinia was often called the old Dominion. The name Virginia itself means the virgin land and was so calied after Queen Elizabeth, the “Virgin Queen.” The arly government of Virginia is of great interest. At first, communism was ried, under which system the land and all property was owned in common and all profits were ided eguzlly. This proved a disastrous failure. In 1519 the first real representative government in the colonies was established, call- ed the House of Burgesses, which continued in force under varying fortunes anyil Virginia joined the Union and became the tenth state in 1788. Much might be written of the character of the early Virginia settlers and their great influence on American life. From Virginia has sprung’ two other states, Ken- tucky and West Virginia. Even so, the state's present area is 42,627 square miles. Politically, the Old Dominion state is entitled to twelve presidential electors. This is about the average of the southern states. e 5 e e — PROVERB—One grain does not £ill the granary, but : it helps its companions.
