As the develop, ment progresses, the parts forming the lower jaw and cheek tissue, the ear, cheek and porner of the mouth, and the forehead, nose and center portion of the upper lip, all grow toward each other so that eventually there should be complete union td form the whole face. When the parts do not unite, a cleft or opening is the result, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in a health talk. This cleft rarely occurs in the lower portion of the face, but it is quite common to see a cleft on one or both sides of the upper lip. When it is on one side only, it is - called unilateral and commonly hairlip. taking its name from the rabbit or hare that has a cleft in its lip normally. In addition to the cosmetic disfigurement, the Condition creates other problems. The victim has noticeable difficulty in breathing; the speech is impaired. The hard palate, which is the roof of the front of the mouth, and the soft palate at the roof of the back of the mouth, made of soft muscle tissue, are the culprits here, because the malformation does not permit them to carry out their function. The hard, palate is to separate nose' and mouth cavities, while the soft palate is to rise upward and backward to close off the ,nasal passage from the throat, permitting the stream or column of air we use for speefch to come oiit the mouth instead of the 'nose. When a cleft palate exists, the' air goes up and out the nose, causing the nasal snpech, characteristic of persons with * cleft lip or cleft palate. And then again, when the roof of the mouth is not complete the tubes leading to the middle ear cavity are exposed; poor hearing results, creating another problem for the patient with this condition.

While redity seems to be a single factor, the condition is jgCnerdlly •recognized as one of Nature's errors T in proper development" and parents of a child born with this condition should not blame themselves. Because of the many problems encountered in the person with cleft lip,pr. palate, a new form of therapy -has been developed by cooperating 'specialists in plastic surgery, hearing, breathing, dentistry and speech reeducation. When the surgical repair has linked 'the various organs to provide proper hearing and breathing, the cosmetic improvement is further enhanced by a special dental appliance which also, assists ""the' patient to control sounds for speech. With all specialists working together to bring about individual repair, the patient is taught good speech habits Under the guidance of a speech reeducatorv The speech specialist, in addition to giving special instruction in the learning and pronunciation of sounds, must also teach the patient confidence in himself. The process is long and y time-consuming. Muscle training is an- important part of the speech teacher's work. While effective results have been accomplished in adults, it is generally recommended that corrective processes be started in childhood. The degree t>f repair needed and other physical factors must be determined by the surgeon. It is known that the cleft in the palate, for example, Famous Culligan WATER SOFTENER All Exclusive Features "'warn Phone Wauconda JAckson 6-5421 should not bit. closed,* for . many months or years,. ^pending op what the individual, case , requires.
