. 4 e ff: A) HE Tonsil Removal . Often Needless (Children Are Frequently Des rived of Them Unnetessar- ily, Survey of Physicians' ---- Too many tonsils are removed -and thé expéoted beneficial results do not occur often enough to jus- tify the existing. fashion for their removal, according to a survey of physicians' opinfons, says "The Scientitic. American." Otten ft is the patient, not the physician, who demands" the removal and shops from one physiclan to another until one is found who will agree with his desire for the operatiof. : Some Patlents Demand It A person having a lot of tonsil. ftis and sore tliroat gets a defin- ite benefit from the operation, but a person having none gets none, according to one physleian, even it he has the' fixed idea that much good must result. When it can be proved: that a' focus of infection definitely is causing diseasa else- where in the body, then the focus of diféase, whether the tonsils, the teeth, gall bladder or appendix, should be removed. -- But merely "preventive" removals do -not act preventively. Indeed, they may ev- en have bad instead of good alter effects, The operation is rarely perform. ed' on adults one physician has said, without full and sufficient rea- son; becavsé they are big enough to fizht back, but childien a' rf ten uanczessarily deprived of ton- sils. : Dies In China D#. Norman Bethune, Montreal surgeon who gainéd fame by or- iginating the Madrid Blood Trans. portation Service during the Span. ish civil war, died in China as a . _ result of blood poisoning due to injuries sufféred while performing "an opération. His blood-bank ser- vice was credited with saving hun- dreds of lives during the Spanish struggle. fi "Road Would Open Up New Territory Two Alternative Routes for /.l-- askai-- U. S.

In chapters eleven and twelve of his gospel, Matthew reveals the increasing hcestility, to Christ shown by his enemies, It is 'more and. more obvious that- the King is to be rejected. On the other hand, Jesus is here making ith ever-increasing clearnass his claims to be the Messiah, the King of Israel, the predicted Savior of' the world. : A Generation Upbraided, 16.

For John came neither cating nor drinking, and they ay, He hath a demon. 19, The Son of man came eating and drinking, and man- and a winebibber, a friend of publications and sinners! And wisddm is justified by her works. THe critics of John and "Jesus are childishly whimsical in rejecting both John and his gloomy as- "geticism and Jesus with bis joy-- ous' freedom. They do not know what they want. 20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were dong, because they repented net.' 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida!- for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would "have repented long ago" in sackcloth and ashes, At Bethsaida océurred the miracle of the feeding of 'the five thousand, Near here Christ walked on the e healed the blind.

A life that externally is eminent. ly, respectable may be 'more fat- ally anti-Christian than one that they say, Behold, a gluttonous Pre-eminent Christ' 25.
