OF Course
Every mother of today takes care that her
small daughter shall not become round
shouldered. But unless she knows some
thing of the principles of physical culture
she only gets the child to stand awkwardly
in her efforts to have her stand straight
She tells her to throw her shoulders back
At school to get the same result the chill
dren are told to put the palms of the hands
on the waist, letting the finger tips touch at
the back. Viewed from the front the fig
ure there seems to be in an upright position,
which looks we'll But viewed from the
side it IS found to be awkward and out Of
line.
The first law of the correct standing po-
sition is that the ear shall be directly over
the shoulder, the shoulder over the hip
and the hip over the knee. A straight line
should be followed by the eye from the
down through them all to the knee.
If this imaginary straight line is absent
the figure is out of plumb in some way
Either the shoulders are stopped and are
too far forward, or they have the far more
common, and. according to present-day
staEdards. the more fatal fault of being
too far backward.
There is nothing Uglier or more awkward
thar the profile of this kind of figure.
1t is a common one with women who have
reached maturity, but it is easily rectit1cd,
one of the best aids being the throwing
the weight forward to the toes
To the person who habitually stands with
the shoulders well back, this trick Will often
be enough to throw the body and head into

NURSERY

The Firstborn-

has wisely resolved TO go slowly with In
FAINT theories and feel her way carefully
and never go to extremes.
For the first week or two the child re-
quires but slight attention He must be
bathed dressed. fed and kept warm.
Otherwise, for the most part, he is best
when left alone, gradually to learn that he
is alive and make use of his organs and
senses.
He requires no handling save that which
IS necessary during the process Of bathing
and dressing, with an occasional turning
from side to side. More than this is not
good for him.
Then he must be kept warm TO do this
il is not necessary to overburden him with
wraps or keep the room at dollhouse
temperature. If you do you Will have d
baby as tender a forced plant.
Select the clothing with view 10 COM
bined iightness ana warmth. If the
weather 1t at all cool be certain thar each
little garment is warm before putting It On
the body Do not put the SOCKS on While
the feet are cool First warm the little
members with your own warm hands or by
an open fire. Warm the hands III the same
way. and, If necessary, draw over them 4
pair of worsted mittens and let them re-
main. for while until entirely warm.
Have a little afghan ready always TO
throw over the child A thin comfortable
made of eiderdown is ideal for this purpose
as 1t is exceedingly light in weight and
surprisingly warm. 1t Is also the best pos
sible covering at night.
For the first few days, unttl the child has
become acclimated, the tempera ture of the
room may be kept at about II degrees
Fahrenheit; after this It may be 20 de
grees. Try to keep the temperature rs
even as possible. as it is better to keep 1t
at an even low temperature than d variable
high heat.
Many lessons may be learned from a cas-

Furniture Woods

Furniture Woods
Require a daily light busting to supple
n.ent the weekly rubbing. AS a rule the
use of oily restoratives is to be deprecated
Unless applied by tireless arm and thor
oughly rubbed in and thereafter the piece
Of furniture kept in perfect polish by a
daily rubbing the oil IS certain to form a
crust sooner or later which Is greasy to the
touch and not pleasing TO the eye. Hence
furniture should be kept as long as posi-
BILE without the application of such res
toratives.
Wood which has been finished with shell
lac or varnish, whether in glossy or dull
finish. should never be cleansed with soap
or water. Soap is made to cut oily sub
stances and in doing so eats the oil out
of the wdxed, oiled or shellacked surface
thus bringing destruction.
If an oil reStorer for any reason seems
necessary raw linseed oil in equal parts
arplied on a piece of cheesecloth will be
found most often of service. For carved
portions which require daily attending sort
brushes such as are used for cleaning sill
yer will be found to be the best agent
Thoroughly brush out the ornamented
parts with dry brush and use a second
for the real cleaning. This may be dipped
in turpentine and used without fear OF
scratching the finish of the wood.
Where white spots appear on polished
surfaces from the dropping Of liquors or
from heat. the immediate application or raw

When once we realize that our life is thus
