When standing before looking glass,
notice IL your shoulders are the same
height. Generally the right is higher
than the left. The reason for this I'M
evennesS lies in the way one sits You
get into comfortable chair at your
desk, and nj once YOU rest your right
elbow on the arm of your chair or your
desk. thus throwing one shoulder high
er than the other. This is especially
the case where one writes great deal.
When you notice that one shoulder is
higher than the other. the thing to do
Is 10 change your way OF sitting ut your
desk. Two simple exercises Will be
beneficial The arm OF the lower shout
der should be extended upward, the
hand grasping a dumbbell. That OF the
higher shoulder should be lowered and
made TO support a heavy weight.

The kind of brass called tombac con-

Wherever he looked ne saw that the

manufacturers to assert that their StOn.-
ach nostrums viii cure this awful dis
ease. Every sane and thinking person
knows that % cure consumption ii re-
qujres the greatest skill Of specialists
who have made consumption and its cure

apply their treatment TO the very seat

In no other way can the consumption
poison be eradicated. Tor medicines taken
into the stomach are so changed by the
process of digestion tina. they lose their
virtue before reaching the lungs. This
is apparent TO even the casual observer,
