Children

One-third of ali the children
die before they are five years
old. Most of them die of some
wasting disease. They grow
very slowly; keepthin in flesh;
are fretful; food does not do
them mueh good. You can't
say they have any disease, yet
they never prosper. A slight
cold, or some stomach and
bowel trouble takes them away
easily.
SCOTS EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites IS just the remedy for
growing children. It makes
hard fesh; sound flesh; not
soft, nabby fat. It makes
strong bones, healthy nerves.
It changes poor children to
children rich IN prosperity.

Exercise and Growth.

An eminent authority declares that ju-
dicious exercise has great influence on the
growth of human being The stature
is increased by hanging by tho arms, and
some experiments have been made with a
view to ascertain whether hanging by the
head has any effect on tho length Of the
spinal column. 1t Is claimed that bed
constructed on an angle of 45 degrees may
be useful accessory to growth. The body
rests on the bed and Is kept in place by q
harness that passes under the arms and
around the shoulders. The head is very
slightly drawn upward by set Of straps,
these latter being SO arranged that only q
very slight pull comes on the spinal cord
above the shoulders. The support Is little
more than the weight of the head itself,
the idea being to remove all downward
pressure from the spinal column. One
student of this process has in addition at
tached light weights to his feet. He
watches his conditions very carefully and
ceases his experiments If there is even the
slightest sensation Of discomfort or irrita-
tion along the spinal column. just what
effect this will have on the growth it Is as
yet too early to determine, but 1t Is believed
that removing all weight from the spine
and keeping the body fully extended dur
ing the hours of sleep will, If managed
with prudence, increase the stature to q
considerable degree.-New York Ledger.

CRAMPS.
Some Of the Curious Afiictions of Men
Who Work Too Hard.


Who Work Too Hard.
One Of the curious consequences Of the
modern division Of labor is the cramp that
attacks those who constantly use their
hands in one particular manner.
Writing oramp was the first to appear,
being quite unknown until the introduce
ton Of steel pens. 1t affects men far oftener
than the fair SEX and, singularly, those
who suffer are not literary men, but copy
lists. 1t is almost incurable, and even
when the left hand is used the tramp very
soon crosses over to 1t.
Musicians OF every kind are attacked.
Among pianists 1t is chiefly ladies ambi-
tious to become professionals who are tho
victims. Violent pain, weakness and IA
tigue of the arm make playing an impos-
sibility. Violinists are affected both in
the fingers of the left hand and the hand
that holds the bow. Clarinet players get
cramps Of the tongue, and flute players
get cramp in the larynx.
Telegraphers suffer very often, and they
call 1t Gloss Of the grip" Tailors get
cramps in legs as we'll as hands. Smiths
and carpenters get what is called cham
mer cramp," resulting from the enormous
number of blows struck. 1t Is estimated
that forger of knives and scissors strikes
2S, 900 blows every day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cially in the case of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigar makers,
watchmakers, photographers, auctioneers,
sawyers, billiard players, dentists, turn
ers, stalnpers, weavers, painters, money
counters and ballet dancers all suffer from
the1 own peculiar cramps and often SO Sc
verely that they have to exchange their
employment for some othef. f.--Cinoinnat
