school seats psform YedtIr !.


DR.. j. w. Sever, an English surgeon,
urges that school desks should leave
room enough for the knees, and
should be low enough SO that the ell
bow and forearm may rest comfort
ably on them without bending the
back.
The slope of the desk theoretically
should be about 80 degrees, hut as
that is too steep an angle to allow
books and papers to rest on it, with
out sliding off, compromise angle of
from ~ degrees to 10 degrees has
been selected.
The seat should be no wider than
the width of the hip, for wider seats
predispose to slouchy attitudes. 1t
should be about two-thirds the length
of the thigh. 1t may or may not
slope very slightly backward, but this
is OF no great Importance. Any great
slope is distinctly bad.
The height from the floor should be
such as to allow the feet to rest
equally and comfortably on the floor
A seat of too great breadth, as well
as one of too great depth, compels
bad postures. The seat should have
back which supports the lumbar spine
when sitting, at work, as well as a
rest.

MAKESYOUR BACKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such Mis-
cries, Bladder Weakness, Kidney
Trouble and Rheumatism
Promptly Vanish.

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tfsm, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
cry, CroXone, quickly and surely re-
lieves all such troubles.
CroXone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for ridding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. l.
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose 1t acts on the prin-
ciple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
YOU have used, the very principle Of
CroXone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. it
starts to work the minute you take
il and relieves you the first time yol
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back, and sides, or have any signs
Of kidney, bladder troubles, or rheu-
matism, such as puffy swellings un-
der the eyes or in the feet and
ankles, if you are nervous, tired, and
run down, or bothered with urinary
disorders, CroXone will quickly re-
hevc you of your misery. You can
secure an original package of CroX-
one at trifling cost from any first
class druggist. All druggists are au-
thorized to personally return the
purchase price if it fails in a single
case.
