The right shoulder is usually higher
than the left. This is true especially
Of men engaged in literary WORK. The
effect is due to the way men sit or
write at their desks. The right elbow
rests on the desk, throwing one shoul-
der higher than the other. Few per-
sons when writing keep the shoulders
erect. The reason that few women
clerks are so affected is because the
most of them use the typewriter, which
forces them to sit more erectly. When
you notice that you are affected the
best thing to do is to change your way
of sitting at your desk. Two simple
exercises will help you out The arm
of the lower shoulder should be ex
tended upward, the hand grasping a
dumbbeli; that of the higher shoulder
should be lowered and be made to sup
port q heavy weight.

however, they must jump quickly and
resume the suspended work of inducing
artificial breathing, and frequently in
ject stimulants in the region of the
heart. Rapidly, but scarcely percep-
tibly, because of it's feeble strokes, the
pulse beats continue, and the patient
begins to make vigorous movements,
showing such strength that the doctors
believe they will win the battle.
Finally, after an hour and five min
utes of hard work. the fight seems to
be won. A shade below 1O2 is the tenn
perature now, and the stretcher bear
ers are called. The patient, placed be-
| tween blankets, is carried off to a
| ward, the doctors rejoicing as they fol-
| low. He reaches the ward alive. Sud
denly, however, in a twinkling, the life
that has five times been brought out OF
the shadow, leaves the body forever.
The stretcher bearers, again taking up
their burden, wend their way to the
morgue and the body Of the man who
was picked up in the street awaits
Identification.
This is the story of an actual case
that came to Bellevue Hospital.
In a large majority of cases the pa
tient reaches the ward living. He Is
then put in a cot and his temperature
carefully watched. This Is the grea1
danger in heat prostration, and is me-
at once with spraying and by stimula
ton if necessary. If there should b'
mora than one rise in temperature thu
chances for recovery are very small
congestion and clogging Of the vein'
being almost certain to snap the feeble

of his chest.
A Degree Nearer to Life.
Another degree less of temperature

nearer to the life for which the doctors
are battling as though their own lives
depended upon the success of their eff

Suddenly, perhaps. and without an

Private Murphx,s Inspection.

The commanding officer Of a certain
regiment was at a loss to know what
to do with one of his men whose per-
sistent untidiness was source Of great
worry. Reprimand and punishment
had been tried, but it was of no avail;
the man was incorrigible. At last the
colonel hit upon what he thought a
good idea of shaming him into decency.
So the company was drawn up on the
parade ground, and Private Murphy
was ordered to march up and down
the ranks, the men having been pre-
viously told to have a good look at
him. Murphy did so, and, unabashed,
| halted in front of the colonel, saluted.
and in a voice loud enough to be heard

Filth in Public Places,

A wri.er declares that there is more
filth, squalor and general slovenliness
in public places and works, in streets,
squares, river-sides, docks, roads and
bridges in the United States than in
any other country of the first or even
the second rank. He says that in this
respect We rank with Turkey rather
than with England or Germany.

LABOR DAY.

This is Labor Day, q national holt
day, when celebrations are held in
nearly every city in the country and
hundreds Of thousands of men and
women are enjoying outings, picnics
and a general good time. 1t is only
in recent years that the celebration of
Labor Day has become extensive, but
now it extends throughout the length
and breadth Of the land and is al
ways joyfully looked forward to by
old and young In fact, so universal
has it become that the people in gen.
eral have learned to enjoy il as much
as those for whom it was originally
intended, the men of Drawn, the
bone and sinew of the nation, and
their families.
In Paducah Labor Day is always a
pleasant occasion, and it is hoped that
today will be more so than any Of the
preceding celebrations. Extensive
preparations are made by the local
unions, and everything is always done
in a thorough and painstaking man
uer. Credit is due the men who pro-
vide the entertainment each year for
those who are too busy to themselves
assist in the arrangements, and 1t is
hoped that today everybody will lind
recreation and rest and do full justice

ARE POETS BORN OR MADE'

Authorities seem to agree mot poetic
talent is somewhat caprioious, and
that, though many great poets are
great by nature rather thauby train
ing, they rarely transmit sheiT gifts
to their children. Heredity may have
some infiusnce on their talents, but
recent investigation do net agree on
details. Franeis Cation, The great
English Authority, states mat, with
poets and artists, the influence of the
female line is enormously less than
the male. while Drs. Chaslin and
Moblus, two French investigators,
have come 20 an exactly opposite
conclusion. In a recent discussion
at the Paris Medico- Psychological So
ciety DR. Chaslin stated that the
mother of a poet is always intelleo-
tually gifted, whereas the son Of a
stupid woman is always ssupid. APP
