What's wrong with this sentence from one of our sales letters. "Our president will join our sales manager in Chicago, where be will select the new A. The sentence lacks coherence. Who is to select, the president or the sales manager? If the former, better say. "Our president, who will join our sales manager in Chicago, will select the new models." Q.

Is it correct to write, "Dear Sir: A. No. Omit the dash after the colon. Q. Is this correct.

"Our store is having it's tenth A. No. "It's" is the contraction of "it is." Do not use the apostrophe in forming the possessive of "it." Say: "Our store is having if, tenth anniversary."

Tne. A HANDBOOK FOfl OFFICE WORRKRS QuPStion Please settle an argument. Are not "would better, would best, would rather" more correct than "had better, had best, had Answer No. Both forms are grammatical and are sanctioned by the modern authorities. If anything, the "had" forms are a shade the better.

Q. Please give us a few simple rules for using all the marks of punctuation. A. In this modest space? Better send a stamped (3-cent.) self-addressed envelope to me in care of The Times. Ask for free Punctuation Pamphlet.

Q. What about the word A. It is a Itin word and is best usage with Ijitm words, as: per annum, per diem, per cent. These English forms are preferred: miles an hour; $300 month; eight hours a day; 100 words a minute, etc. However, in r.p.m., "revolutions per minute," the "per" is too well established to be considered undesirable.

The expression "as per" method can satisfactorily extirpate tonsils or adenoids. In man3' instances of enlarged tonsils and adenoids, complicated with some deafness, in children the best treatment is a series of X-ray treatments. Pamphlet Ready I have a pamphlet on "Adenoids and Tonsils'' which I shall be glad to send on request if you provide a 3-cent stamped envelope bearing your address. It deals with enlarged tonsils and adenoids and their prevention, treatment, effects. General hygiene in childhood and youth has a good deal to do with the subject.

Perhaps one reason why too many operations have been done for simple enlarged tonsils and more or less presumptive adenoids was that thf hygiene of childhood and youth was neglected by physicians, parents and teachers. "A DKAFXKSS One of my aged 5, is becoming progressively more deaf (writes a reader.) This, according to the physicians who have examined him, can be attributed to extremely hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids. They unanimously recommend excision of these tissues. But do you recommend coagulation where the patient is but 5 years old? I recommend electro-coagulation (diathermy extirpation) of tonsils andor adenoids as the method of choice in every instance, regardless of the patient's age. But it is rarely applicable for children less than or 10 years of age, for the simple reason that such young children will not or cannot co-operate with the physician to the degree necessary for success with this method.

However. I have seen the foremost specialist in this method, the man who pioneered the method in America, extirpating the tonsils of a child 5 years old, and the little girl co-operated perfectly with the doctor throughout. But she was an exceptional child. As a general rule the diathermy method cannot be used for children under 8 or 10.
