According to Dr. McK.cn zie, professor : of ! laryngology ,4nd rhiriology in. John Hopkins university many of the operations perfonr.ed for tonsilitis are unnecessary. They are, he says, part of the general craze 'o remove supposedly superfluous parts of the human anatomy. "Never in the history of medicine," he writes, "has the lust for operation on the tonsils been as passionate as it is at the present time. It is not simply the surgical thirst from which we have all suffered in our earlier days, just as at a still earlier period, we suffered from the measles; it is a , ! ... Tt mania, a maaness, u.i k. has infected not only the general pro fession but the laity." . The article is too technical for the average reader, but the gist of the opinion of this authority is that the tonsils are not the trap for infection which they so often are said to be. He irives it as his view that the en larged tonsil is not necessarily dis eased and where it does ntt interfere with breathing and swallowirtg should not be removed". ' The doctor, 'too, is not the only well known1 specialist who holds somewhat similar views. The craze for surgery in this coun try is one of the symptoms of the a! most universal desire to have the body tinkered with in some way. The doc tors are by no means entirely respon sible for the tendency. Many ; con servative surgeons today are advising against operations except in cases where the need is absoltuely appar ent to their skilled eyes, but often in such cases foolish parents insist that the knife be used. The cutting out of tonsils is but one instance of what almost has come to be a habit among the American people.'

Kind nature has fixed her up oh a plan that makes vegetarianism pos sible and agreeable. She has two stomachs and marvelous muscles in her jaws, and when she is not biting off grass she is chewing her cud. She spends 16 hours a day chewing grass into digestibility. It is only when the cow, or the sheep, or the grouse, or the deer has eaten the grass and seeds, transforming a hundred pounds of vegetable matter into one pound of flesh, that man finds his pronerlv con densed and easily digested food.
