PLACEBO Toinsills TONSILS are inherited and not acquired. This distinguishes them from adenoids, which are grown on the premises. Tonsils were not discovered until an operation for appendicitis became too com- mon to confer social distinction. When they were discovered, statis- tics were produced to show that these glands, quietly reposing inside the face with the complete approval of mankind, were the direct cause of rickets, blind stagger, poverty, gall stones and general cus- sedness. Having them out at once became a social duty of some magnitude, for technique of surgeons was imperfect and few carvers knew whether to use a screw driver or pliers. It made little differ- ence anyway, for the patient was sound asleep and little interested in carpentry. The modern age affords the owner of tonsils much more entertainment. He is placed in a chair, his jaws are pried apart and a portion of rubber-boot inserted to hold them ajar and discourage conversation on the part of the patient. Then the surgeon fills both hands with hardware, begins to whistle his favorite tune, and crawls inside. While he is pruning all of your property that fails to meet with his approval, numerous white clad assistants stand about wearing the cheerful look peculiar to people who are watching another man's house burn. i f Grammar and Miediicine Ac.-xrH1As .Al tlzriving daetor sent his san fa school, To gain some lenowledge, should hc prone no fool, But tools him soon away with little warning, On finding out the lesson he was learning.

DLACEBO The Diifiteren cc Tennyson could take a worthless piece of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth 365,000-thatls genius. Henry Ford could write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth 55,000,000-that's capital. The U. S. can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp upon it an eagle bird and make it Worth SZO,OOOQthat's money. A merchant can take an article worth thats business. A ditch digger works ten hours a day earth for 51.00-that's labor. A surgeon can take a dilapidated piece to pieces and sew it together again, making it as good as new- that's skill. A nurse can purchase a 251: pair of hose but prefers those that cost 255.00--thats foolishness. The writer of this could write a check for S80,000,000, but it wouldn't be worth a dime-thats tough. Every member of the class of '31 should willingly pay her dues on time-fthats loyalty.

She wakes from sleep as one who has not slept To smooth the pillows of her patienfs bed, Her voice eoneeals her seerel thoughts of dread She only knows the vigil she has kept. Grim duty, by her art is robed in grace, .elnd something lovely defhs the eanzmon place. She'd eonnt it failure should her patient guess That she is worried, over tired and faint, Or hear from her one whisper of eonzplaint. The trne nurse must not show her own distress, The tveoriness her spirit often feels. She tails as one who does not toil for hire, Does ugly services in a queenly way As one who asks but gratitude for pay. She leeeps her post but never seems to tire, She loves her worh, yet such the art thereof She males it a ,lorians work of late. i -M.
