TONSILS All! NOT REMOVED IF THEY ARE FILTERING THE BLOOD EFFIJCTIVELY

An attack of tonsillitis may cause rheumatic fever (childhood's greatest enemy) and an attack of rheumatic fever is responsible for many cases of heart disease in children and young adults. We are not. therefore. surprised that par-

ents. and sometimes physicians also. think that even where the attack of tonsillitis is mild. the

ionsils should be removed to pre- vent rheumatic fever, which may be followed a few weeks later by inflammation of the lining of the heart-endocarditis.

It is fortunate. however. that despite the danger from diseased tonsils. physicians are reminding parents that the Creater put ton- sils in the throat for a very good reason. The tonsils. as pointed out a few weeks ago, are natural filt- ers.

In Otorhlnol.-iryngology (Ear. Nose and Throat). Dr. Otto Meyer. New York. N. Y., states "The ion- sils, being lympho-epithelial organs flymph and surface glands), are part of the lymphatic tdefense mechanisms' whose function is the removal of infection. They protect the body against generalized infec- tions.-and. especially against the spreading of teeth and other in- feciions of the mouth and nose cavities into the blood stream. Tonsils, further. prevent infectious organisms which enter through the lining of the nose and throat (virus of policmyelitis) from reach- ing the general circulation.

"While getting rid of these in- fections. the tonsils become in- flamed-tonslllitis-which is really not a disease in itself but a. re- action to another infection as is shown by clinical observation and experimental research work." Re- moving infected teeth often results in clearing up of a severe tonsil1i- tis without further treatment. This is why your physician has infected teeth removed which often pre- serves the tonsils so that they can continue to remove safely harmful or infectious organisms from the blood. The tonsil is sometimes blamed because it becomes inflam- ed when. as a matter of fact. it is holding infection from the teeth from entering the blood stream. for which it should really be praised.

And it is now recognized by the Foundation for Infantile Paralysis that removal of the tonsils in- creases the danger of contracting poliomyellt-is. as has been shown by Dr. Aycock in an analysis of 2,357 cases, by Drs. Lucchesl and La Bocetta and by many other research workers since 191.0

The flower was adopted by the fourth Henry of England in his exile, with the motto, or petition. "Remember me." An Order Of knighthood in the fourteenth cen- tury wore the flower as a device. In Italy they tell you that it is a flower of love, and is the changed form of a pretty maid who was drowned. In Italy. where it like- wise symbolizes affection. it is sometimes known as "the even 01 our lady." There is also a Persian legend of the Forget-me-not. and when we enjoy this lovely blue spring flower in our gardens we can also think of the many leg- ends down through the centuries.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY

For the woman who has to be wage-earner as well as wife and mother because of necessity. I have only the most profound respect, but I think it is a great mistake for a woman to work outside of the home if she has a husband able and willing to support the family.

Try to see your husband's point of view. it means one thing to a man to come home to a smiling. rested wife

lit and a good dinner smoking on the table. and another thing to come home to a dark house and wait for a wife to come home from work with some delicatessen stuff in a bag.

A papa-frog. reminded by the ap- proaching dusk. struck a few deep notes on his "lyre" in an age-old throaty melody of love and life and eternity; a robin on a fence- post disregarded our passing to pour out a liquid serenade to the one of his fancy.
