King asserts.
To correct these faults of posture
it is absolutely essential in DR.. Kings
opinion, that a person should have
some sort of daily corrective exer-
cises to strengthen the muscles which
are otherwise unused and weak. They
need occupy only few minutes, but
they form one Of the most valuable
forms of life insurance in which one
can invest. The exercises involve
bending and twisting the body and
exercising the arms, body, and chest
in ways in which they are not ordi-
narily brought into play during the
day. They are also meant to stimu-
late deep breathing.
When one once experiences the
exhilaration which comes with cor
rect posture he will not readily drop

sxpert at Iowa State University Be-
Iieves That Many Diseases
Are TraceabIe to Poor
Positions.
He is OFFERING ADVICE
Correct Positions in Bed Must be
Kept the Same as in Waking
Hours, This Man
Declares.

A surprisingly large part of the
nhysical defects and diseases among
Inc people of Iowa and among Amer
leans in general, can be traced direct
" or indirectly to two causes: poor
diet and defective posture, according
TO Prof. Irving King of the depart
ment of education at the Iowa State
university, who has made special
study of the subject Of posture with
special reference to school children.
Occupations Favor Bad Posture.
Very few people stand, sit, walk or
even lie In bed in the proper posi-
of school children, business men, pro-
fessional men, farmers, day laborers,
and, in fact, practically every class of
people. The evil is conspicuous and
especially menacing in the public
schools, where little or no attention
is given to the matter of posture
Nearly all occupations of both child
and adult have tendency to produce
postural defects.
The gardeners work is such as to
develop round back; the teacher,
BY bending over the desk, cultivates
contracted chest; the postman by
carrying his mail pouch on one Shout
der produces a curvature Of the
spine; the automobilist by slipping
forward in the seat develops round
back and contracted chest; school
children by carrying books on their
hips or down at their sides often suf-
fer spinal curvature. Much of our
clothing, too, Dr. King points out, is
SO cut that it tends to drag the body
out Of a true line.
Don't Curl Up In Bed, Either.
One of the most common defects
in posture, DR.. King says, is permit
ting the head and neck to droop for
ward, thereby releasing the muscles
Of the back and those supporting the
abdominal organs SO that serious dis
placements are often the conse-
quence. The contraction of the chest
which results from this position in
terferes with breathing and brings
conditions favorable to the develop
ment of tuberculosis, and even diges-
tive aim ents. Another common fault
is the ordinary slouching walk or
standing position in which the chest
Is drawn back and the abdomen pro-
truded
1t is just as important to maintain
correct position when sleeping as
when awake, DR.. King believes. The
same general principles apply. Many
home conditions, as well as those at
school, are favorable to bad posture
In children. Often chairs are not of
the proper height: and again the
tables at which the achildren study
or eat are of such height as to foster
poor position.

Methods of conserving wheat broad
ly, lie In the use Of uore corn, oats,

substitution Of other cereals for part
Of the flour in making bread, in sub
