Poor Posture Affects Health

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. ONE <>( the moot common causes of muscular aches In the lower part of the bac k and easy fatigue la poor posture In addition, poor posture has a definite relation to disease. Angina pectoris, for instance, is a serious heart condition in whic h there are attacks of pain over the heart due to spasm of the blood vessels supplying it with blood. Poor posture is in no sense a cause of this condition and yet recent studies prove that slumping and slouching may make it worse Observation of almost 300 patients with angina pectoris showed that those who attained better posture, even when it was gained only through ude of abdominal supports, bad fewer attacks than before postural treatment was started, it is surely significant that attack* of such serioßs nature can often be prevented simply by were improvement In posture. No clearer Indies tton could be had or the importance ot developing correct habits of standing, sitting, and walking As a natter of fact, there are many instances which come to the attention of physicians where poor posture is itself responsible for disturbances of the lung* and circulation How could it be otherwise wheh organs and structure* within the cheat are compressed and forced out of positicj by weight whi-k should bn borne by the body muscles? It to far easier to prevent poor oosturs than to cwrrpct it- This that wa •ust bsgi* wtth lb* child Parnau should sever sig-

rihe campaign with enthusiasm and realize that the effort is toward a community objective. 'ij o o ■ Julius A. Krug, secretary of the interior, says that research in the field of harnessing power from I the sun has almost progressed to the point where his department may be bold enough to ask for a special appropriation to pursue the subject. Is it so fantastic* in private research, the sun has been made to warm water, heat buildings, and do other chores. H Is not at all impossible that a way may be found to trap on a large scale its vast and apparently inexhaustible energy. o o— — The Adams County Council is iu session today reviewing the budgets and proposed tax rates. These include the county's general fund, welfare department and county hospital. The proposed | county rate is nine cents higher than the current levy and the 11 hospital is asking for approxi- j mately <55,000 of tax funds to operate the Institution next year. • Adjustments will more than likely be made during the session and the rates which are fixed by the council will reflect whatever ( savings the body is able to make j in the estimates of government I expenses. 0 __o 1 l Older Freshmen: in bis novel, "Son of Tommy * row," Earl Reed Silvers, who is I dean of men at Rutgers Univerrity, gave telling expression to the idea that boys of 17 and 18 are too young to go to college. The changed atmosphere which prevailed on college campuses during the period of large enrollments of military service veterans is cited In support of the Idea. The vastly different attitude of most of these student veterans, a few years older than other students, made the pre-war college youth seem extremely Immature by comparison. The suggestion is advanced that boys Either work for two years after leaving high school, or take military training for a similar interval before entering college. Either course might provide the necessary maturing influences for boys just out of high school, not too deeply interested in further study at the moment. Just the passage of time matures the adolescent to some degress, enough to make some of the time wasting activities which become associated with college life seem footless. A work period could help in accumulating reserve funds for at least the first year of college, when the student should be occupied with orientation and study rather than sup pleinenting his funds. From many standpoints the idea of older freshmen seems to be a sound one.

lent poor posture and should keep in mind the need for teaching the child to stand, sit. and walk correctly. The youngster who has attained the habit of good posture will have a health asset of life-long value. Even where a wrong start has already been made, many deform!- ( ties and defects due to poor pos-1 ture are preventable if corrective j measures are started without delay. One of the most helpful exercises ; for this purpose Is very simple. It consists of standing with the back to the wall while contracting the muscles of the lower back, care being taken to keep the shoulders and head against the wall. If used faithfully, night and morning, this one exercise alone will bring about great postural improvement within a few weeks* time. QUESTION* ANO ANSWER* R M.: What causes canker sores? Is ft from an unclean system? Answer; It to thought that canker sores may be due to sensitisation to some one food. However, up to the present time the exact cause tor them has not been defP nitsly determined and. therefore, it to hardly possible to suggest anything which will prevent their occurrence. When they do occur they often clear up quickly when they are touched up with a weak syi* tion of silver nitrate. Your physician should to- consulted comerping the UvatmsM la your case.

Now it's paid off." A heady anger put an edge to Chip's voice. "You mean you've made no move to get Sam and Ute out of this town?" he demanded. "Man, don't you savvy that a mob's liquoring for a kill ?” "So you know that?" Strunk said. "And you want no harm to come to Singin* Sam's old carcass? I can claim the prisoners and have them on the way to Deer Lodge inside half an hour, Halliday. But first I'd Uke a little talk with you. And I'll just hoist that gun out of your holster."

Down the street the manyvoiced mutter of the mob had converged into one chaotic roar. Bingin' Sam had ceased his singing; whether the oldster had beard voices beyond his cell window and was now crowded up against the bars listening, Chip couldn’t tel! In the comparative hush of thus remote end of the street, Strunk took another step newer, reaching with hts left hand for the gun at Chip * thigh. And at that same m< ment there was a slight sound that might have been the crunching of a boot sole against a pebble. Instinctively Strunk turned hts head, hi* eyes questing the shadows, and that aiagle. unguarded moment waa all that Chip needed.

behind the blow. Chip’s knuckles sledging against Strunk's blunt chin, the prison guard went down, his gun roaring at the sky, and instantly Chip was upon him, wrenching the gun away and flinging It aside. Expecting to have i a fight on his hands, Chip was • astonished to find Strunk limp beneath him. and it was a moment before he understood. Strunk’s head had struck against a rock as the man had fallen, and the blow had taken the conscious- i ness out of him. Another form loomed out of the shadows, and Hope Hrcnaans voice came cautiously, whispering, "Chip—.?” And Chip knew then who'd made that slight sound that had drawn Strunk's attention. Singin’ Sam was whispering too, from the jail windaw. He said, "Good work. Chip! Heard you two palavering out Here and recognized the voicea 1 was just hoping that Strunk would get close enough to these bars so that I could peel off a boot and bend it over his thick skull.’* Hope, peering down at Strunk's sprawled, bulky form, said, "Why i it's that man who came looking for you at the teacherage last night! Is he—?” "Not dead," Chip said. "Just i stunned. Maybe we’d better get | him roped and gagged before ne wakes up." “Lisles."’ Hope cried. The mob was coming. They could hear the clatter of boots i against the boardwalks, the shoutI cd curses and threats, the whig-

key-biurred voices Mended mtn an incoherent rumble. These were the sounds that fetched Chip a-'mind the corner of the jail-building, and he saw men spilling down the street, stirring the dust and crowding from boardwack to boardwalk in one great foe.nlcsa wave that rolled relentlessly forward. Lariats, were being brandished afolt and guns were banging as men fired at the sky, and Chip knew then that there was very little time left if he was to

save Sam McAllister. That made it a desperate mm rnent for Chip, a Uraeiew moment when be could formulate m plan, but there waa one fact he noted and it gave him hia cut. Moot of the men at this mob had masked themselves with bandannas. though others too drunk to be mindful of future consequences had made no effort to conceal their identity. Seeing that. Chip went sidling along the boards aik, working toward the advancing mob but hugging the shadows, and as he moved along he hauled hia own bandanna up over his nose, knotted it tightly and tugged hia sombrero low. Thue he Mended into the vanguard ot the mob and became part of it, and thus he went beck up ths street, jostled and pushed along. A dim light burned to the fruit ot the jail-building, and a burly man bulked in the front doorway aa the mob approached. This wis Sheriff Frank Bushy, and he held up a protesting hand, shouting, "Now, boys! Now, bays!” Swept 1 back into hto own odke by a tide of men, he went down under the ( weight of them, sad somebody brandished a nng ot keys and , erted, Tve got 'em!” Be Cootmoed) to i

Mr. Foley serious problems have appeared in the Adams County central consolidated school corp. The most urgent prob- , |em many of the school patrons are interested in. is just and equitable transfers. We have repeatedly requested transfers from this board to no avail. Their action has been arbitraty and discourteous. Their motives appear to be olmcure or too underhanded for explanation They have consistently befuddled the issue by falsehoods and subterfuge. I appeal to you Mr. Foley, az ■ School Superintendent of Adams . County to lend your good offices to . the clarification of this issue. . As 1 understand it from various sources, you have made use of the system of transfer in previous years jto good advantage, and surely would, take a reasonable attitude at the present time. It is your Itound duty by law to reverse the action of the abote mentioned board in the interest of justice, convenience, economy, and ' the health and welfare of school age j children In this school corporation. The law makes itself quite clear ' as to your resiwnsibilitiea as county ; superintendent of schools a trail- ' script of which 1 have at hand, i Ip pi,- M U> consideration of transfer, quote; "such matters as I the proximity of the school of the ■ township and city to the residence of such child desiring the transfers.

This law Is clear, and above question Mr. Foley, and it remains your duty as county superintendent to analyze the facta pertaining to the transfer issue, and act regardless 1 of the wishes of the Central Consolidated School Board Election commitments usually do not guarantee the Education of our school children nor their health or welfare. If you, like the Central Consolidated board, use our school children as pawns to selfish inane interests and jealousies, many generations will pass before this black blotch on Education in Adama County will be forgotten.
