Is occasionally difficult. even for an

between these two forms OF curva-

In the case OF . girl. But the
posturai curve may change to

medical advice should be secured In

~ curvature of the spine may
be divided into two classes
functional and structural-though
there seems to be an intermediate
or transitional stage between the
two. A functional lateral curve IL
a postupaI one. OF mild degree. In
which no actual change In bone
has taken place. In a structural.
or organic. lateral curve, certain
changes have occurred In the bones
OF the spine and the Ribs. These
may vary from the mild case. in
which these changes are not extern
sive. to the severe form where the
alterations In the bones are mark
ed and the deformity Is extreme.
The ordinary case OF "round
shoulders" or Ground back" differs
from lateral curvature in that the
former Is simply an exaggeratiop
Of the normal forward and back
ward curves of the spine. usually
associated with an abnormal for
ward position Of the shoulder
blades. while the latter is q bend
ing OF the spine to one on both sides
In the "hunch back" OF the tu-
berculous spine, the condition Is
due to past or present disease, while
In lateral curvature the changes In
the bones are not due to disease In
the spine but to abnormal pressure
and strain. "Hunch back" and
lateral curvature may exist to-
gether. but they are very different
conditions.
WEAK MUSCLES.
The bending to the side In lat
cal curvature is invariably accom-
panied by a twisting Of the spine
and this twisting Is responsible for
the projection backward or fullness
OF one side OF the back. The posi-
ton OF this fullness in relation to
the lateral curve Is the distinguish
ing feature between functional and
organic lateral curvature. 1t has
been found that about 20 per cent
of school children are affectes
with some form of lateral curva-
ture, the larger proportion of
which Is Of the functional type.
Lateral curvature may be due to
any one or more of many causes,
and in some cases ii Is impossible
to point to any particular cause.
In general terms. IL may be said to
be the result of any condition that
causes the spine to be held habitu-
ally in a curved position during the
growing period. Weak muscles
and q certain yielding quality OF
bone are conditions that favor its
development

A COMPROMISE
EFFECTED HERE

At the regular meeting of the
board of mayor and aldermen OF
Dresden, held on Tueday night Of
last week, an ordinance was passed
prohibiting the running tractors on
the streets of Dresden, with especial
reference to tractors carrying Tugs
on the rear wheels.
ESQ. A. C. Bondurant has been
operating two tractors into town
with lumber wagons attached behind.
Mr.. Bondhrant employed counsel
and was about to enjoin the town
from molesting his tractors, but the
injunction, which was set for hear
ing before Judge Elkins last Satur-
raw. was withdrawn and compro-
mise effected between Mr.. Bondu-
rant and the city Of Dresden, where
by Mr.. Bondurant is permitted to
run his tractors over certain streets,
which are not surfaced, to the depot,
where the lumber is being brought
for shipment.

chinery ON the farm reduces the
number of men required to do a

the farmer to pay good wages for
the reason that he secures enough
service from his employed labor to
justify it. There is every reason
why he should use more power and
more labor-saving machinery on the

on Friday found plows running on
most every farm. Some few farmers
had finished planting cotton, others
planting and potato slips being
drawn. About the usual acreage OF
potatoes will likely be planted, if
conditions will permit, and some
more cotton. These good farmers
are not overlooking the food and
feed problem. Good fields OF grass
and clover are seen and good prep

been started.
