'You were going to tell us some thing about mouth breathing," said Mrs. Reynolds. "What causes a child to become a mouth breather?" "O yes." replied the doctor, as he made himself comfortable at the desk. "Mouth breathing is usually regarded as a habit, but quite often it is a necessity because of some ob struction in or behind the nasal pas sages which prevents the child from breathing through the nose. "Diseased and enlarged faucial tonsils sometimes cause mouth breathing. The faucial tonsils they are usually called just 'tonsils' are two little masses of tissue located one on each side of the throat just back of the mouth. You know the ones that are affected when you have a sore throat. Sometimes these tonsils become so enlarged that they interfere with nasal breathing. In that case, the child i3 forced to se cure additional air by breathing through the mouth. Naturally, a physician must be consulted in caes of this kind. He will know whether the tonsils should be treated or re moved. "Another and perhaps more com :non cans.' of mouth breathing is the enlargement of the pharyngeal ton sils, or, as they are commonly call ed, the adenoids. Normally, the pharyngeal tonsils are very small nasses of glandular tissue attached to the wall of the upper air pass age. Thsy lie just back of the nose. Due possibly to a cold, sometimes this tissue becoir.es irritated and diseased. When that occurs, the tis sues become enlarged and block off the air coming through the nose. I'nder those circunistanf es, the child will naturally and involuntarily br-.-ath through the mouth. If you are the least bit suspicious that your youngster is a mouth breather, have your physician determine whether his adenoids or tonsils or both are the cause. If they are. have them cared for before serious damage is done. "Oc-asionally, we find a child with a deflected rasal septum you know that little thin done that divides the nose into two eaual halves. If, for some rcasc n. this bone is pushed to one side, proper nasal breathing will be impossible, and of course, the child will breathe through his mouth." "I do not like to expose my ignor ance." said Mrs. Brown, "but what dLTerence does it make whether he breathers through his r.ose or his month so long us lie gets air into his lungs?" "You are not displaying ignor ance," replied the doctor. "You ask for information, and that is a sure sign of intelligence. In the first place, the quantity of air taken in jthr'iugh the mouth when the nose is AV0CA NEWS Earl Freeman and family were guests last Sunday at the home of the parents of Mrs. Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Medcalt, of Union.

Tbe child's entire system suffers ironi a lack of oxygen which hinders his growth and develop ment, affe'ts his health, and may even retard his mental development. One function of the nose is to clean and warm the air before it goes to the lungs. Thi3 is not done when the air is breathed through the mouth, and. as a consequence mouth breathers are more susceptible to re spiratory dise: e. If not corrected, mouth breathing will interfere with the normal development of the bones of the fa e and cause serious irregu larities of the teeth and jaws. "Some parents ignore mouth breathing until the child is serious ly injured. They mistakenly attrib ute tho condition to a prolonged cold or to cptarrh. "If either of your youngsters de velop this habit," concluded Dr. Young, "I hop- that you will see a rhin-'.iogist at once and have the condit ion corrected." Here 7.1r.

"An orthodontist." sxplained Dr. Young, "is a dentist who specializes departed ;n straightening teetn. 1 ne rninolo- g.3t must correct tne condition that caused the mouth breathing.
