tant mass of nerve matter becomes
CONSTRUCTED or bent out of perpendlc-
ular. Certain stresses or strains are
put upon it. Oftentimes irritations
are set up where the ends of the ver-
tebrae touch each other where they
are out of alignment.
Charles Boggs jr., the most perfect
example of correct spinal development
in America, is the most fortunate boy
in America.
His good health is assured.
DARENTs should seek to remove
from the circumstances Of the
birth of their children, their growth
and development, most of the morbid
things that tend to retard normal de.
velopment. Home surroundings should
be cheerful. A child has an advan-
tage when the parents are lovers of
art. Pride in home on the part OF
parents means pride in children and
children react to the pride of parents
by unfolding beautiful lives.
Care and study should be put into
the work Of developing child NOR
ally and spiritually. Physical de-
velopment is only one side of exist
ence. 1t is vitality important in that
bad health oftentimes inclines
one to morbid thought, and concepts
of life become warped unless unusual
strength is brought to bear on the
side Of right.
Character development should be
encouraged in subtle manner. The
child should not be made realize that
suggestions for character building are
made with that end in view. Every.
thing. should be spontaneous and
natural. Nagging and undue scolding
develop self consciousness.

perfect in every respect. Certainly
there is no boy known in America
who can rival the perfection Of the
spinal structure that he possesses.
This is the heritage Of every little
boy and girl in America. 1t is pitiful
TO consider the fact that fully rs per-
cent of them are robbed Of this attrb-
ute of good health before they enter
school.
Charles Boggs jr is In perfect con-
ditlon because he has been properly
cared for by his mother. When his
little spine was soft, IN the days Of his
infancy. he was tenderly attended. Op.
portunity for injury never came his
way.
Today Charles Boggs ir., years and
months old, has never had but one
fall and that was three weeks ago. 1t
is small wonder that he has a perfect
spine.
Charles is not different from other
boys in any respect other than he has
his birthright of the foundation of per-
feet health we'll developed and prop
erly cared for. He is different from
other boys only in the degree Of his
good fortune in being the son of
mother who has jealousy guarded his
health.

too soon. The result is the same that
may be found in the child who de-
yelops bow legs by walking too soon.
1t is highly significant that heredity
has little bearing on the development
of perfect spinal column. At the
beginning Of life the spine is usually
normal. In external appearance ev-
cry childs spine conforms to a nearly
uniform type. 1t is when voluntary
control appears that abnormal condl-
tons begin to appear in the spine. In
other words the vertebral column is
structurally and functionally made
quate to sustain the weight Of the
body. AS the child begins to walk ana
physiological curves begin to appear
the inefficiency Of the spine becomes
more apparent.
1t is significant that in all the ex-
aminations that have been conducted
throughout the United States there
has been no case repored in which a
curvature in the spine Of parent
was Appropriated in the child.
UOUR spine may we'll be compared
with the stem Of tulip or a
lily. 1t is hollow and is made up Of
sections called the vertebrae. Through
the hollow in the vertebrae runs the
spinal cord. 1t extends from the
brain and is just as important to the
well being Of the individual as is the
brain. Without 1t one would be un.
able to move.
Balanced at the top Of the back
bone is the skull. The base OF the
column rests on the pelvic bones. Just
as it is the tendency Of long flower
stalk to bend so does the head bend
the spinal column. This bending is
natural and the flexibility of the spine
takes care of it. But often the spine
becomes set in an unnatural curve.
This curve is called "ScholiosIs,"
more commonly spinal curvature.
Through this curvature that impor-

has been unable to find or have re.
ported to him a spine more perfect
than that of Charles.

reason to believe that his general
health will not continue as excellent
as it is so long as his spine is perfect.
He will never be a victim of despon.
dency. With a clean mind and a
healthy body his ebullient spirits will
always find an outlet in healthful,
clean pursuits.
This is q heritage of a perfect spine.
THE search for a perfect spine has
been in progress for more than
one year. The prize of $500 for the
most perfectly developed back of
child under ~ years old and the 81 900
award for the most perfectly devel.
oped spine in an adult were offered
by the national association for the
prevention of spinal curvature.

EXPLAINS REDEMPTION
OF SAYINGS STAMPS

Necessity for the filling out of appIi-
cation blanks In order to get war saw
ngs stamps of the 1918 issue cashed
was explained by Postmaster Raw n.
We1sbrod Monday. Mr.. Weisbrod said
the limited postal funds on hand in the
richmond postoffice makes it impossi-
bic for the office to pay cash on de-
mand to all those who may wish TO
cash their stamps. This difficulty is
overcome by the filling out of appiica-
ton blanks which are mailed to the
Chicago Federal Reserve bank. from
where checks are mailed to stamp own
ers applying. Checks will 20 directly
10 the owner of the stamps, and will
be received on or about the first of the
new year.
All persons however, holding saw
1ngs stamps maturing Jan. 1, 1929. and
which do not total a value exceeding
S25, may receive cash in exchange for
the stamps by applying at the local
postoffice at maturity date, Jan. 1, but
not before. Owners of stamps of the
1918 series who have more than SOS
worth of the securities, should go to
the postoffice at once and make ap-
phcatlon for cash exchange, so that
they may receive their checks from
the Chicago depository by Jan. /. Per
sons, with more than S25 worth of
stamps to cash should make applica-
ton for exchange before Dec. 20 in or
der to avoid delay of the arrival OF
their check from the Chicago office.
The first person to register his
stamps after purchasing them in 1917
has made application for cash redemp-
ton. Registration No. 1 was made
Dec. 5, 1917 by former local citizen
now living at Shelbyville.
