Lateral Curvature OF The Spine.

The spinal column has normally three
curves: one in the Ioins bending outward,
one in the back bending inward, and a
third in the neck bending outward again /;
these curves give resiliency to the spine
and enable person 10 maintain grace
full carriage without fatigue. Laterally,
however, the spine should be perfectly
straight, without any deviation either TO
the right or 10 the left. When there is
any curve in either direction, it is de-
formity that reqnires correction at the
earliest possible moment. The condition
may exist in varying degrees, from a
hardly perceptible deviation from the
perpendicular 10 an extreme deformity
that produces an exaggerated humpback.
In lateral curvature there are always two
curves, and often three one is the main
curve and the others are compensating
curves caused by the effort OF the body
to maintain posture as nearly erect as
possible.
The causes of lateral curvature are
numerous-flat foot on one side. the
shortening OF one leg, a wrong position
in sitting. and wYneck are some ofthem.
The deformitY can usually be remedied
if il is taken early and energetically treat
ed but if if is allowed 10 go on until
changes have taken place in the shape
OF the vertebrae, there is not much hope
of complete cure, although even in very
bad cases proper and persistent treatment
will bring about some improvement.
At best, the treatment is tedious and
requires great patience on The part OF
both doctor and patient. Formerly ply
slcians relied on supports, either metallic
braces, which exerted constant pressure
on the projecting part OF the main curve,
or on plaster OIL Paris jackets, which not
only exerted pressure but which helped
to support the upper part OF the body and
thus removed some weight from the spine.
Nowadays the chief treatment is by means
OF exercises that tend 10 correct the curve
and strengthen the muscles that are meant
10 hold the spine erect. Some of the ex-
ercises consist OF crawling, during which
the patient performs number Of lateral
bending movements 10 restore The sup
plenesS OF the spine, which has become
more or less rigid at the point OF curva-
ture. These exercises are performed ac-
cording TO regular system, under the
direction at first OF the physician, and
later under the guidance OF the mother or
nurse. There are also bending move
ments, forward, backward, sidewise and
twisting, (which must be performed &C
cording TO a carefully arranged system
and under expert observation.

Amy had said when she was little
girl that Cousin Phyllis door was always
open; il was the most inviting door In the
world. But once inside, Amy was Curl
ously absent-minded. She wandered
about the room, picking up one trifle alter
another. Finally. with sudden resolve,
she dropped on the floor beside Cousin
Phyllis's chair.
I'll sounds perfectly horrid. she con-
fessed, "but I'm puzzled, Cousin Phyllis.

Cousin Phyllis. she doesn't seem like the

"Why. the usual things-Georgia Cor

small and then in gradually increasing
quantities, until il returns 10 its normal

From observations that have been made
on captive birds, it has been found that
food has remarkable effect on the color
OF certain birds. The most striking ex-
ample is the scarlet tanager, that flaming
forester of our northern woods. In cap
tivity this bird turns lemon yellow-the
same color that il assumes during its win
Ter pilgrimageS 10 the south. That is
probably because the bird is deprived in
captivity Of certain insects or fats that il
finds in the northern woods. Just what
this substance is the keepers at the Bronx
Zoo are trying hard TO determine.
They are also trying TO find out il the
brilliant colors on the bill Of the toucan,

Gods Music.

Since ever the world was fashioned
Water. and air. and sod
A music OF divers meaning
Has flowed from the hand OF God.
In valley and gorge and upland,
On stormy mountain height.
He makes him harp OF the forest,
He sweeps the chords with might
He puts forth His hand TO the ocean.
He speaks and the waters flow.
Now in 4 chorus OF thunder.
Now-in cadence low.
He touches the waving flower-bels.
He plays on woodland streams,
A tender song like mother
Sings 10 her child in dreams
But the music divinest and dearest,
Since ever the years began,
Is the manifold passionate music
He draws from the heart of man.
