The gland is really a filter which takes out poisons from the lymph and then, allows the poison to go back into the blood stream in small amounts so that the system can absorb it gradually. Thus in infected tonsils it is not unusualfor these swollen glands to hold some of the poison within their tis-, sues for as long as two years after the tonsils h&ye been removed. Now aK swollen gland can be a source of gradual poisoning of the system, particularly if the youngster is run down, has infection in teeth, tonsils, sinuses or has tuberculosis; It is often of help to him physically therefore to have the gland come down to its normal size again. . Removal May Be Wise. If the gland is broken down it is usually removed by surgery, but naturally the physician or surgeon does not like removing any lymph glands because "every gland that is needlessly removed weakens by just so much the ability of the system to protect itself against all infections. However, it is a serious mistake to allow enlarged glands to cause such inflammation of the surrounding tissues as to make it necessary to remove parts of muscles, with the possibility during operation of injuring important nerves and blood vessels." When the gland is actively inflamed-- adenitis--causing pain or distress, the X-ray is now being used. An elderly man consulted his physician about a pain in inner side of his right knee. Examination showed a flat foot which allowed the lower let (beldw knee) to swing inward thus putting strain on inner side of knee. A plaster cast was taken of the foot, a support made, and the pain in the knee disappeared. Flat feet are common and if not brought up by exercise or supports or both, it may mean other symptoms besides painful feet. The knee joint and all the joints in the spine .between bones are put under a strain when the arch of the foot falls. ' The first thought in the majority of cases of flat foot is to try to strengthen the muscles which hold up the arch of the foot, making the foot look like a claw. Two simple exercises done twice daily to « count of 20 each are: 1. Trying to grasp a marble or other object with the toes. 2. Raising the body slowly from heel to'toe, holding a few seconds, and then^coming down slowly. A third exercise is to walk around the room three times on the outer sides* "oTThe Jeer." * Results can often be obtained in six weeks to six months) in- hot water lor 1 exercise and for exercise will preireness caused by ien the individual greatly overweight, or take exercise, arch supports, piSperl^ fitted, act at a crut^i aqd £ive jnuch relief. Root-Qrpwth Factor Is - Found ry Acid Testing A clew to the mystery of what takes place in a;plant to make it form roots when certain chemicals are applied has been found in simple experiments by Dr. William C. Cooper of the United States department of agriculture. Compounds containing indolic acid when applied to stems or leaves cause a rapid, growth of functioning roots. Dr. Cooper, has discovered that the active substance is a factor within the plant. He used lemon plant cuttings in three groups. The first he planted in their normal state. The second had the stem ends painted with indole- acetic acid, and they produced far more roots than the normal group. The third group he treated with the root-forming substance but did not plant immediately. Instead, he cut off the treated portion and applied indole-acid to the stem end. He then planted the cuttings, but got no better root-forming results than from the untreated group. The explanation, Dr. Cooper said, is that the indole-acetic acid attracts to the part of the plant to whic\JlJ9 aPPlied a substance in the PPfflp which causes root formation. Iff the third group this substance was attracted to the stem end, and when he cut off these ends there was little of the substance left to respond to the second application of the acid. It takes about 40 hours to draw to "the end of the stem all of the root-forming substance.

Denver.--In an atmosphere electric with emotion there came a knock at the door. It was opened, and a young bride of two months cried, "Dad!" "My girl!" exclaimed her father, his eyes sparkling with tears of happiness Thus was Eugene Eastman reunited with his youngest daughter whom he had not seen in 20 years. They were separated when Mrs. Mamie Eastman, Eugene's wife, died while he was recovering from a serious injury caused by a mine explosion at Georgetown, Colo. There was nothing to do but send Jean and her three sisters to their aunt, Mrs, Edna Bemis of Seattle. The years went by. Eastman got out of the hospital &nd was able to work again. The children had started to school in Seattle. He didn't have much money, and how was a poor miner going tp take care of four little girls anyway? Jean's sisters grew up and were married, and a few months ago Jean herself followed her sisters to the altar. Her husband, Mr. Neustadter, arranged the meeting, which took place in Denver, as a wedding presnt or hours after the'reunion father daughter were unable to do much more than look at one another. "We haven't had time to plan anything," said Mrs. Neustadter, "but this calls for a celebration, doesn't it?" Eastman nodded. And Neustadter beamed on both of them. •' . ' . Pygmies Kill Elephants by Running Under Them Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.--Strange tales of African pygmies who hunt elephants by running under them and stabbing their stomachs and who allow themselves to be hugged by giant gorillas in order to stab them are told by four Italian explorers who arrived here. The pygmies, who were found in Tanganyika, were described as being 3% feet high. "When they first saw us they scampered into the trees," said one of the members of the exposition. "They inhabit the Ituri forests and have a peculiar way of hunting. They kill elephants with spears from underneath and. let six-foot gorillas hug them and then they stab the gorillas through the middle with a spear." Giants, too, were encountered on the journey. These huge tribesmen, called the Uatussi, were found at Lake Kivu and the explorers described them as "the most beautiful race in Africa." All the men, the explorers say, have beautiful bodies, paint their faces and wear white dress with red decorations. They keep harems and the women in them are attractive. The explorers were Count Gigi Martinoni and Count Salvadego of Brescia; Segnor Gino Campello of Rome, and a mechanic who looked after their two motor cars in which they trekked for six months. YOU MAY NOT KNOW^ -i Sure Way to Kill Shark: Kiss Him, He's Goner York.--The Rev. A. J. Laplante admits he can't explain it, but the natives of the Fiji islands can and do subdue sharks by kissing them. The Catholic priest, on leave after ten years as a missionary on Viti Levu in the Fiji group, told about it at the headquarters for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. "It's some occult power they have which I can't define," said Father Laplante, "but once the native kisses it, that shark never moves again." The shark killing by kissing occurs about twice a year, the missionary explained, when the natives want to make a drive for food for tribal feasts, or when they want to make the swimming holes safe for their children.

After all, our great national history does not stand in deeds alone, but in the spirit back of those deeds of valor. The spirit of our country is expressed not only in those cardinal principles which won our liberty, but also in the spirit which preserves liberty and hands it down to succeeding generations. Loyalty to the preservation of our liberty demands a level of patriotism exemplified by Edith Cavell. Forgiveness, freedom from malice, and the elimination of attitudes that feed the flames of hatred and increase bitterness -- these must leaven our patriotism today. A new level of patriotism cannot regard one's country as a separate unit in the family of nations; it sees nations as part and parcel of the entire human race. It acknowledges the fact that all nations suffer when one nation suffers, and that no nation can live' alone and keep alive its national inheritance. When the Founder of Christianity died the Roman world was on the verge of despair. It was a new day when Constantine, fighting the battle of the Milvian bridge, saw the sign of the Cross and under it the words, "By this sign--conquer." It will be a new day in our war-torn world when we also see the sign of the Cross of forgiveness for past wrongs and yield to the willingness to share with others the privileges of our national idealism. When the world believes that the principles which unite are more important than those that divide, then shall humanity be imbued with a patriotism adequate for the protection and perpetuity of a national and an international heritage. War, always destructive, will have no claim upon our thinking. As a musician's soul is filled with his music, and an artist's mind with his conception of beauty, so our love for our country's honor will enable us to rise to that new level of patriotism characterized by a spirit of forgiveness that will outlaw war and bind nations together in pursuit of peace. e We item Newspaper Union.
