IS Removal of tonsils, which has been a familiar practice among eur- geons for many years, is condemned by Dr. John N. Mackenzie in the Maryland Medical, , Journal. Dr. Mackenzie is it. professor in Jahns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore. Ho oa11s the wholesale destruction of -' ils "a massacre of innocentor- s and '. ' hesitate s not tate to give i long list of evil, sometimes deadly, effects which are consequent upon the removal of or destruetion of ton- sils Dr. Mackenzie has this to say about; the supposition that the ton- sils are responsible for rheumatism and certain kinds of heart disease, He says Much wild and incoherent talk, for which . their teachers. are some, - times largely to blame, has poison- ed the minds of the younger gener totion of operators and thrown. the ublio into hysteria. Tonsillectomy, •r ex u ample, is held out to em not o. ly as a sure cure for but as' an alute prophylactic against rheu- matism and heart disease.. They are told that with the disappearance of the tonsil in plan these clisea,ses will cease to exist. Parents bring nowadays their perfectly sound chil- dren'to the laryngolisi fee tonsil re anoval in order to head off these af- fections. Tonsillectomy is recon- mendedas a curative during the agony of •acute articularrheuma- tism. - But the origin of the latter dis- ease has recently been traced to an infection of the nasal mucosa FOLLOWING OPERt.TION, To -morrow it will come from some- where else. Those of us who, are old enough to remember will recall the story of chorea. Years ago we found the cause of this affection in the nasal passages.. When this view, after the usual struggle, had to be abandoned, it was suddenly discov- ' ered that the eye was the portal of entrance. -To-day it has been aught in the tonsil. If we exec- ase a little patience it will turn up coon i ome other organ. What ins funotigsas of the tonsils are, however, Dr. 111ackenzie does not know, and he believes that in the present state of medical know- ledge no one can. with 'certainty point out the precise funoti.ons of the organs. He insists, :however, and there he is in apposition to many doctors who cut out the tonsils as a general means- of prophylaxis, that the tonsils are not the means of en- trance of disease. "Tho tonsil is not built anatomically," he says, "as a gateway of infection." RESULT OF CUTTING THEM.

WOMAN TO HARPOON WHALXS Whaler's Daughter Will'Acconipany Him on Expedition. When the pioneers of women's freedom started out to win sex equality they did not reckon whale hunting among -the pursuits suitable for feminine aspirants to indepen- dence. . That is why Miss Hjordis Jugebrigtsen, of Christiania, Nor- way, is ahead of the feminist game. She was born by the sea and her father has been. a •whale hunter since 1866. His record of capture runs close on 15,000 whales and his name is known among shunting men from the North Cape j.. o Portusuese South Africa. f er section of the earth his son has been domiciled for three years. Now Miss Jugebrigtsen is going with her father on a whaling expedition in that region as a regu- lare memo r of the hunting party. She has passed her apprentice- ship, for several times she has ac- companied the •boats and has be- come an -expert shot. Up to now she has merely assisted the men, but her skill less now matured- so that she herself will fire the deadly har- poon against the monsters of the deep. She is only 20 years old, and despite her daring pursuits, she re- mains a , tender-hearted and gentle girl, Why Shouldi Use Cuticura Soap? p n There is nbthing the matter with mx, skin, and 1 thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles.' .

' A Mich. woman tried Postum be- cause coffee disagreed with her and. her husband. Tea, is just as harm- ful as coffee because it contains caf- feine -the same drug found in cof- fee. She writes "My husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caus- ed by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so. I could not attend to my housework--hot- coffe- ' o us using t e time and not realiz- ing it was harmful "One morning the grocer's wife said she kelieved coffee was the cause of 'bur trouble and advised Postum.

My children love it and it does them good, whichcan't. be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was usu- ally half sick. I told her I'd make her 'a cup of Postum.

The fear of. their task -master keeps them from sliding into the grooves which end in domestic misery. If a woman is inclined to nag, she should marry the man'who is autocratic. So many women stunt themselves, and allow the weaker points of their characters to predominate, when they have settled down for life.
