THE LINE OF THE SPINE

shown above is the curved line which truthfully
presents TO your eye the condition of your
bpins Il ycu use sewing machine.
The reason for this is the family sewing
machine ordinarily constructed, is altogether
wrong. You cannot sit straight in your chair
while operating your maChine-try it, sit
straight and square as you should, and see if
you can sew on your machine; YOU can't. The
needle is AZ inches from the center where it
ought to be. To follow your work you have 10
twist your body to the lett. This twist calls
for wrench and strain OF all the delicate
chords and hgaments, affecting stomach,
Spleen. liver, kidneys, bowels and nerves, and
fesul,ing in SIDE NEEDLE SPINE.
Il it were possible for a growing child to
operate an ordinary sewing nach.ne, it would
be injured for life. The soft cartilage OF its
spine would twist and warp, its vital organs
would be injured to such an extent as to pro
duce nervous disorders.
Tn schools, as You know. desks and chairs
are specially constructed to avoid spinal oury-
ature.
In factories where sewing machines are used.
the work is always directly central with the
operator, otherwise they could not stand the
strain Of the twist of the body and continue to
work.
THE STANDARD DCENTRAL NEEDLE
machine is a new type of family sewing ma
chine designed as health saver and preventer
OF doctors bills,
In this machine the needle Is central with
the worier-directly over the center Of the
treadle. To use il calls for no twist of the
spine, II causes no strain on the internal organs
and consequent torture of the nerves.
With THE STANDARD CENTRAL
NEEDLE machine woman Is safe in using
it all day and every day; without it She is not.
Compare the two pictures-positions taken
from life-and decide which You will have

Shingles

THIS disease is marked by severe
neuraigic pans accompanied by an
eruption Of small, hard Di,s,eIs that
resemble ordinary cold sores. On
the body the eruption occurs in a
we'll marked line, on one side only.
rhe cases in which l, passes across
both sides Of the chest or abdomen
are extremely rare. Seen from the
side, the line of blisters suggests a
belt, whence the scientific name of
the disease-zona or zoster, the one
Latih, and the other Greek fof cir
die.
The disease begins with a gene,si
feeling of illness, usually without
any definite symptoms. Occasion
ally the neuralgia pains appear be-
fGre the eruption. There is some
fever with more oT less indigestion,
and in some cases faint blue or pink
spots along the line where the char
acteris,ic eruption is 10 appear.
After three or four days the erup-
ton comes out quiet suddenly, with
se'ere burning pain. The blisiers
are quiet firm and hard To Il c
touch. The fluid is clear or yello~ =,
ish in color, IN after the eruption
has lasted a few DAYS, brownish
c'us,s form. These fall off after
three or four days, and leave a
smooth, slightly reddish surface.
The pain may presi. for some time
after The eruption has disappeared.
The eruption is most oflen on the
chest, bli may eff ct the AID in "a
the face, or other parts of the body.
Ii is believed that shingles is III
result of an inil lmmatiJn OF oae Of
the nerves jlst after it leaves the
spinal canal, AMI that the eruption
appears al,ns the effected nerve.
There is little to do by way of treat

MR. GEORGE y. LINDSAY, writing
in the Transactions of the Academy
OF Silence Of S.. Louis, gives some
inter, sting statistics of ;he rainfall
at the nitcd States, not eXlresscd
in the conl cnlional inches of depth,
bu, in tie aggregate volume and
weight of the moisture that falls
annually over given area. To
anyone who Is familiar only with the
customary method of stating rainfall, +,
il is somewhat startling 10 learn, for
instance, that IS 9 cubic miles of
ram fell in Missouri during the year
of 500. THIS is decidedly more
impressive than the statement that
the rainfall was about 10 inches.
In The same year I,.o6.l cubic
miles OF water is computed 10 have
fallen over the whole area of the
United States, and the average
annual rainfall IS somewhat greater
than this; viz, 1908 cubic miles,
weighing 5000, 600, 900, 900 tons.
As an Illustration OF the fact that
M ost of tic water that falls never
reaches the sea through the medium
of drainage, but is evaporated from
;be lspd, Mr.. Lindsay shows that
The discharge % the Mississippi
River at ST. Louis is but little great
er than the volume of rainfall over
the state of Missouri alone, despite
.be enormous area drained by the
