CHILD WELFARE HINT.

No garment should bind or re-
strict the chest Of your girl. The
ribs. especially in youth. are
very elastic, and much OF the de
veiopment of the lungs depends
upon their fexibility. Neglect
Of proper breathing and free ex-
ercise out OF doors will bring
rigid. unyielding walls. Unless
the chest expands readily and
properly the muscles gradually
weaken. the back becomes aged
and rounded and the body ac-
tually suffers from malnutrition.
Such abnormalities are ac-
qutred unconsciously. A girl
may fall into the habit of carry
ing one shoulder higher than ne
other. or she may bend forward
at the shoulders. or there may be
slight curvature Of the spine.
In all these conditions the breath
ing space il lessened- An i'm
proper attitude when writing or
reading will often ruin a wom-
ans figure This Is especially
true Of girl who is growing.

W. z. MILLER, wELL-KNOwN
RESIDENT AND MERCHANT,
sUCCUMBs AT HIS HOME.
SPECIAL 10 THE JOURNAL.

CaryviIle, Sept. 2s.-W. r. Miller,
a respected citizen and merchant of
Caryville, died suddenly at his home
here about o'clock p. m. yesterday
of heart failure. Mr.. Miller was con-
nected with one of the Oldest fam
lilies of Washington county, whose
prominence dates away back among
the pioneers in the settlement of
West Florida.
He leaves a wife and several
grown-up children with large con-
nection to mourn his loss.
Revival In Progress.
A series of revival meetings have
been going on in Caryville for the
past week or more with Rev. w. r.
Quinlan in charge, assisted by Rev.
Carl Preer, minister in charge here.
These meetings are kept up under the
auspices of the Methodist church, and
have been largely attended. The
preaching has been excellent and
doubtless much good has been accom-
plished. The large tent with seat
ing capacity of 500 or more has been
filed to overlooking and the frequent
sermons have been instructive and
highly appreciated.

Mark Snowden, who had been ar
rested on the charge of Islander, but
who made bond after reaching the
city, was to have been given a pre-
hminary trial before County Judge
Henry Bellinger yesterday, but on ac-
count of the illness of the Judge, the
trial was postponed until one day in
the month of October.
Friends of young Snowden want it
known that he was not locked up
in Jail an hour following his arrest.
On the contrary, they said, his arrest
was matter of form, and his bond
was ready when he had reached the
city. They claim that the charge
which has been made against him is
one which cannot be supported, and
they were IN hopes that the hearing
would have been held yesterday, in
the hope that they would easily dis
prove the serious allegations which
were Incorporated in an affidavit,

The demand for tickets at the Cen

laughing hit "a Pair of Skies"
which comes 10 the Opera House FRI
day night, clearly demonstrates that
local theatre goers do not intend to
miss this big hit of the season. There
are few Pensacolians who has seen
this show in New York. The praise
given by them has been the best
method of advertising the show, and
many tickets have been held in con-
sequence. The attraction brings to
Pensacola the entire New York pro-
duction complete. All that is re-

Take Lime for tuberculosis

In the Journal Of the American Medical
Association duly 27. 1912, Page 3o8), DR..
c. r. Olsen, Of Minneapolis, holds that a
deficiency Of calcium" Uime) Is respon-
sIbe for the physical conditions which
lead TO tuberculosis, and the therapy he
advocates rests on this basis
One Of the reasons for the widespread
success of Eckman's Alternative in the
treatment OF tuberculosis is its ability
to supply this deficiency. 1t contains a
lime salt in such combination with other
valuable agents as 20 be easily assimil-
aIed by the average person. Many cases
seem to have yielded to it.
We make M exaggerated claims for
Il. but prefer that it be tried on the
same basis as any other prescription,
and since it contains no Opiates, mar
cotics or habit-forming drugs, it is safe.

SUFFERING.
Treatment by Which the Affection May
Be Overcome.

There is no cure for suffering. This
does not mean that no sufferer can be
cured-far from it-but that there Is no
treatment which is sure to cure. If a
stutterer be taken in childhood, when
the affiiction is first noticed. and care
fully treated he can sometimes be cur
ed and generally much improved.
DR.. Frank A. Bryant OF New York,
writing In the Medical Record, says
the first thing to do is to make sure
that there are no distractions In the
throat or nose, such rs enlarged ton
sils or adenoids. The child must be
taught to breathe through his nose,
deeply and slowly. as a habit. He
not be allowed to speak when excited
nor when laughing or crying or in the
OF whooping cough. He
must never he tickled. All causes of
excitement must be removed. Fresh
air, scrupulous cleanliness. plain nour,
lshing food. moderate exercise ana
plenty of sleep in a dark room are es-
sential.
Mental treatment is Of great impor-
lance. Any measures that will increase
mental poise are of Incompatible
value. The sufferer must be impress
ed with a desire to overcome what Is
only a bad habit. He must be per-
suaded to study the great art of speak
ing correctly. Thus, by careful, pa
tient work on the part of his parents,
teachers and physicians, will he gradu
ally cure himself. or at least so I'M
prove as to make the affection cease to
be serious.
