the half century mark or even the
three score and ten of Biblical times.
Keeping young or becoming old
is not always matter of years, but
it is very, very often, matter of
carriage. AS soon as the little child
makes the first attempt to stand
erect, it begins the fight against the
laws of gravitation. After few at
tempts the child wins and stands
proudly erect.
The pride of achievement as we'll
as the natural, easy position assumed
by the child, causes it to stand, walk
or sit in very graceful and erect posi-
tion and the vital organs are lifted
and carried we'll up in the chest cavity
where they belong.
Habits, work, environment and age,
all exert their influence in helping the
laws of gravity to pull you downward
and into Mother Earth from whence
your body came. a.
The test of your ability to live for
many years and to enjoy life and health
may often be found in the way you
resist the laws of gravity and carry
yourself.
Many d case of asthma has been
completely relieved by placing the
patient upon a cot or lounge with
it's foot end elevated about 16 inches,
simply placing chair under it is
the easiest way. Let the patient lie
in this position for Is minutes, several
times daily.
Many severe cases Of prolapsis of
the stomach, bowels or womb are also
quickly relieved by this simple ex-
pedient and if the patient can be
taught to fight the laws of CAVITY by
an erect carriage and drawing up or
in Of the abdomen, the relief is likely
to be permanent.
The person who habitually stoops
forward and drops the abdomen in
such manner that it protrudes below
the waist line is laying up all kinds OF
trouble for the future and but few.
doctors will be able to tel, you the
rOal cause of your constipation, piles
,ther troubles caused by your own
lessness and lack of fighting spirit:
,tand erect, push upward with the
of your head. Do not throw your
oulders back, simply push up with
top of your head while holding
II chin in close to your neck. BY
lis simple exercise you place all OF
)ur vital organs right where they
elong.
Now fight. II you are worth the
food and clothes it takes to keep you
going you can make good fight and
viii! You can be what you will to
be and what you determine that you
will be physically.
That is if you have good common
sense and will within the limit Of
what nature gave you and you have
let go down or deteriorate.
CLUB NOTES.
CATARRH:-Mr. ]. D. w. Of
Minnesota writes: &
Dear DR.. Reeder: I an like many
thers in this climate, troubled with
catarrh in the head and many times
one side or the other of my nose will
be closed. Sometimes both sides so
that 1 must breath through my mouth.
Please tell me what to take to cure
this. l have used many nose sprays
and catarrh creams but they only give
temporary relief. I would like to be
cured to stay cured.
Answer: Your want is the same as
that of many thousands, not only in
the climate where you live, but in
other and supposed to be more ia
vorable climates.
Catarrh is not disease that is to be
cured by sprays, creams or any inter
nal medicines unless your diet and
other habits are right. The use Of
commercial sugar, whether used as
candy, or in the food, such as in tea,
coffee, cakes, pies, iellies, jams or
preserves, added to the usual amount
Of starch in bread and potatoes used
by the average individual, frequently
causes catarrh, enlarged tonsils and
adenoids. If you will for a period Of
three months, live on nuts, fruits, and
raw fresh vegetables your >catarh
will disappear and your general health
will be better than it has been for
years. Nuts should be eaten only
once day, from one to two ounces
of the meats is enough and they should
be the first thing eaten at that meal.

liberty at all times to ask any question
