Good People Of keokuk Do Not

The Good Fellows are in need OF
clothing, and are asking the house
wives who are busy with spring house
cleaning not to forget them. when they
straighten up the clothes closets, and
to let the Good Fellows have the cast
of clothing, which might otherwise &C
eumuIate. Lots of people keep suits
and coats. and dresses and shoes over
from year to year, thinking they may
come in handy some time. But the
some time seldom comes, and moths
frequently do.
The Good Fellows offer the best So
luton to this problem. Let them have
your clothes and shoes and they will
see that they are properly placed. The
Good Fellows are in need of clothing
Of every description, or they may haye
to give up their work. Their work has
been SO successful, and they have aid
ed so many families in need of clothes,
that it looks like bad business to let
them fall by the wayside now, just be-
cause it would take little trouble to
get the clothes together into a bundle
and send them to the Benevolent
Union home.

districts. 1t claimed that there was
a violation of the Webb-Kenyon law.
The supreme court held to the same
view as the Iowa department of JUS
tice and ordered the case remanded,
thus establishing the Webb-kenyon
jurisdiction.
With this established it was easy
for the court to find that under this
law there could be no shipment OF
wet goods into dry territory. This
law revives an old section of the
state code of 1897, section 2419. This
was dormant for years because or
the protection given interstate ship

that the federal law prohibits such
shipments, the dove-tailing of the
federal and state laws makes it pos
sible to enforce the bone dry provi-

BAD SEATS CAUSE DEF0RMITY
Curvature of Spine and Round ShouI.
ders Too Frequently Developed
in School.

AS an outcome of medical inspection
In public schools, people are beginning

considerable proportion of school chill

common as we go up the grades and
into the high school.
What is the relation of school seats
to curvature of the spine? Suppose a
pupil during the growing period uses
for four or five hours each school day,
thirty-eight or forty weeks each year
for eight or twelve years, desk which
is so high that in order to rest his arm
on 1t he lifts his shoulder, and so pulls
the spine out of correct alignment. Or
dinarily, the right shoulder will be
raised too high, and the left will be toe

muintains this posture in school ycaI
after year will acquire some degree o!
curvature. Even if no curvature re-
suits, there will be inequality in the
height of the shoulders, which will
prove a handicap to an individual in
later life.
Older pupils often use desks which
are too low. 1t is practically certain,
then, that they will bend over the
desks, and they will be in cramped
posture several hours each day. In
such position the lungs are construct
ed, the shoulders are pressed forward
and the common round shoulder de-
velops; most serious Of all, the circua-
ton in the brain is interfered with.
When children Keep this posture In
school day after day for years, they
are likely to become either neuroie or
dull.
