Harmful for Boys

Physicians have issued warning to parents who allow their children to ride upon bicycles that are not fitted to them. Every small boy wants to ride a wheel. It iJ easy for him to learn, and he likes to be able to show his father s few tricks that the head of the family doesn't care to attempt.
 Nevertheless when he is permitted to take his flther's bicycle, or that of an older brother. and start for a long ride, he is granted permission to do something that may result in perma- nent and serious injury.
 How often u small youngster is seen on a wheel, two or three sizss too large for him, trying manfully to push it over the ground as fast as his elders The saddle IS quite out of reach for resting purposes, and with all his weight on the pedals. in fuct standing upon them. he exerts himself to the utmost. his hips working with painful effort and his body swaying as first one foot and then the other goes down, while his back is left without support -Pittsfeld Call.
