Baker Doesn't Believe '
 Chihuahua Rumors

Washington, Sept. 22-Secretary Baker let it be known today that the war department was not disposed to accept as accurate the report of Villas raid on Chihuahua City last Saturday transmitted by Brig. General Bell on thes trength of information that had reached him in Fl Paso.
 "We have no military information as to renewed villista activities" MT. Baker said indicating that it was as stunned that General Bells accQDnt was based upon rumors and reports current in border towns and not facts obtained through army channels in Mexico. He declined to discuss in any way what effect the reappearance of Villa, if it were confirmed, might have, in movements of American troops in Mexico.
 ''So far as is known, the war de- partment has made no effort to learn from General Bell the sources of his information. General Funston is ex- pected to transmit promptly without additional instructions any authentic news of the activities of the bandits upon which any change in plan in volving General Pershing's expedition might be found.
 FUNSTON BELIEVES REPORT
 San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 22-Gen- eral Funston said today he placed full credence in the report of Villas attack on Chihuahua City sent to the war department by Brig. General George Bell, Jr., and given out for publication yesterday.
 He said he had Sbeen informed that General Bells information was gain ed from reliable persons who had come to Fl Paso directly from Chihuahua City immediately after the battle.
 SAY VILLA WAS ROUTED
 New York, Sept. 22--In a tele- gram today to Juan T. Burns, Mexi- can consul general in New York. Gen. eral Trevino, after reiterating his statements that his forces defeated the Villa invaders at Chihuahua City says:
 This foolish shedding of blood was with the intention of creating diff culties for the conferees of the com- mission at New London at the mach nations of American and Mexican po- litical interests. They themselves are now satisfied that they have failed"

ROUND SHOULDERS.

Round back and stopped shoulders con-
stitute a physical defect that is by no
means confined to the young. 1t can be
ployment or occupation OF the individual
Tailors. shoemakersN and seamstresses
are particularly given to this trouble, be-
cause they maintain a stopped position
Of the shoulders for hours at a stretch.
Every one knows that the spinal column
Is not a stiff rod. but consists of twenty
four small bones, each separated from
the other by a padding or cushion, SO
imparting to the column an extraordi-
nary fiexibility.
Now, in some older people In whom one
observes marked stoop shoulders the up
per segments of the spine have grown
together, forming a bony mass that is
stiff and unyielding. Whether in the old
or in the young, this is a vicious postural
fault that directly affects the health be-
cause it cramps the lungs and heart by
contracting the chest. Sufficient fresh
air is never inspired and the circulation
of the blood is decidedly interfered with.
Now, when two such vital organs as the
heart and the lungs are, so to speak, only
performing half of their work, the diges-
ton Is seriously hampered, which ex-
plains why in cases of this kind one al
ways finds digestive disorders Of greater
or less degree.
Round shoulders in the young, espe-
cially in girls, are frequently due to mus
cular weakness, but It is a condition very
common in school children as a result
OF disproportion between the height of
the desk and bench and many other fac
tors, both at school ana at home. Cloth
ing has a great deal to do with It, too.
The tender bodies of many children can
not support the weight and traction Of
clothing suspended from the shoulders,
at the same time maintaining the erect
posture Consequently the child slumps
forward to allow the broad OF the back to
carry the burden.
Many young women have latterly as
sumed slouching forward attitude be-
cause of certain fashions In dress and
walk. This absurd debutante SLOUGH has
left its impression in a faulty habit of
carriage that should not go uncorrected.
Shoulder braces are condemned because
they deter muscular development. A
simple means that acts as a constant
reminder to hold the trunk erect con-
