BILE BACK.
II the grown children have
twenty-six bones which can move, why
have we not children's flexih.lityI Why
are Elsie Ncnners snake like motions
so rarei Grace IL n sure sign of perfect
self control and strength. Jelgiincss
and stiff angular movements besides
being positive injuries are sign of
weakness.
There would be no muscular back aches
II we had kept ch.ldhood's movements
OF the back.
There are no superiluous muscles In
the human body, and sooner or later
those which have been diseased to de-
generacy will be called into action.
Then, naturally, tEcy win either fail
utterly to respond TO the call, or they
will act beyond their strength and sut-

Thereupon somebody who has more
uneducated sympathy than knowledge

THE CURSE OF LABOR.
The business. the machinery of liy-

Hard labor of one kind or another IL

to settle down TO the fact. But our
nerves and muscles ought 20 be and can
be kept in order and repaired by gymnas-
ties. Men, women and children should
execisc every day as vigorously as the
animals In tie forest.
Many of us are practically confined
indoors, and for this reason the reli.
ance must be on gymnastics. With th,

rs not necessary. They should be suCl
that the amount of blood is increased
It's circulation is aided, congestion %
the organs prevented and the body
given a general feeling Of bien-etre, OF
warmth and of vitality which Is deli
cious and refreshing and insures con
seriousness of health, this consciousness,
taking the place Of morbid apprehen
sions, peevishness and IN temper an,
discOurngment
Massage and passive exercises mus
be given 20 those who are too feeble I,
move their own backs; but those wh'
can even sit up should take exercise
every day-beginning gently and In
creasing to more difficult movement
General exercises for the whole mus
culnr organism must be combined witt
special exercises for the relief Of th
special ache or pain.
