Special reference to the import
ance of the fleXibility and elasticity
Of the spine has been made il u
previous article, in which 7 point
ed out that this mobility IS cS-
sentiaI to good circulation both in
the spinal cord and sympathic
nerve ganglia. Now one OF the
best all-around tests of spinal
mobility is found in chest mobility
Can you expand your chest, or
are your ribs stiff and immoyablc?
1 will tell you why this is import
ant at least SO far as the dorsal
vertebrate are concerned 1t is
because the twelve pairs of ribs
are attached to these twelve dor
sal vertebrac, and the amount Of
movement in the ribs is a good in
dicatiOn of the condition of the
spine. If you can expand your
chest only half-inch, or in othor
words, if your ribs are stiff and
immovablc, it means that your
spine is stiff and immovable And
to that extent your spine is old.
You are perhaps not a "chesty"
kind of individual. You have
worn tight-ftting vest for twenty
TO forty years, which makes it
difficult to expand your chest. You
have Worn suspenders which
press down upon your chest on
each side, and this pressure is Just
sufficient to act as a continuous
detcrring influence. e1en if YOU
We're inclined to expand your chest.
which you are not Therefore.
perhaps in years, you may not
have really expanded your chest
to its limit
And yet, that is what you ought
to do every day. Not. simply for
the sake of improving your chest
and giving room for your heart
and lungs, but for the sake of
your spine. Cultivate the chest
expansion habit. Practice deep
breathing with it if You choose,
and that makes it all the better.
but also expand your chest for the
sake of your backbone.
It is this stiffness which Won
must fight Off, if you would keep
young. To a large extent, the
really old man finds it impossible
TO straighten his spine. It is stiff.
rigid. Just bringing his shoulders
back does not give him normal
mobility. lie may try to straight
en- his spine, and it is a good thing
for him to do SO but if he is a
really old man cannot do it.
Here is an exercise for the small
OF the back and the lumbar spine.
Bend and stretch far forward with
the knees straight. If you cannot
touch the floor, then stretch as far
rs you can without strain.

. Mrs. E. P. Erie, wife Of the late
DR.. E. P. Erie, who was consul to-
Cognac under President Cleveland's
administration, is spending several
days in Americas, the guest of Miss
Lena Ford. AS Miss Annie Palm
er Mrs. Erie is well known to many
friends in Americas, where she visit
ed several years ago.
Judge and Mrs. j N. Scarbor-
ough will spend today in Ellaville
as the guests Of Capt. and Mrs Rob-
ert Burton.
Miss Lizzie Slappey, of Anderson
vile, is the guest Of her brother
in Americas for few days.

A Boys Club

The only meeting place for
boys in Americus is the street
corner--or worse. There is no
Y. M. c A. or other provision
made fol the boy who is cut of
school for the afternoon and
evening, or the youngster who is
loafing.
The responsibility, of course
for the boys welfare lies at
home. However, there is a civic
duty that is being neglected. A
place for assemblage should be
provided for the boys. a place
where they may have the utmost
freedom under proper guidance.
This is an important question,
one that should receive the
thought and suggestion of ev-
cry parent in the city. 1t is a
subject that might well be tax
en- up jointly by the. civic clubs
OF the city, in conference with
civic and religious leaders.
The NEED is apparent The
good that will result is assured.
A way can be worked out by
men of Americus when once
they have become intel ested.
The boy of today is the citi-
zen of tomorrow. The forma-
tive period Of boy s life comes
before he has reached IS or Is.
before he leaves for college. In
fluences brought to bear on his
life while he still is a boy will
help him fight life's battles to
the end.
There's no work half 80 i'm
portant as that which will result
in a higher standard of citizen
ship for the future. A boy club
is possible.

BANKRUPT

owners in the Is corn and wheat
producing states lost their farms be.

others would have gone bankrupt
except for the leniency of bankers
and other creditors.
About one out of every 100 bust
ness firms fail each year in the
United States. So the farmer, as al,
institution, was hit about four times
as hard by depression as the aver
age business organization in the
matter of absolute disaster.

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
TAX EVASION sIMPLIFIED

We hear great deal of talk
about rich men taking their mon
ey out of active business opera
lions and investing, it in tax cx-
enpt bonds.
No use blaming the rich man
for doing this. Any one of Us
would do the same thing in his
place. For example:
A man with an income of
100000 per year can get S45.-
600 from 100000 invested in
1-2 per cent tax exempt securi-
ties, and none of this $4,000 will
be taken from him for the fed
eral income tax,
In order to have q net income
OF $4,000 from securities
whose income is taxable, our rich
man would have to invest his ST.
100000 in stocks yielding him
1922 per cent, or S1O2,200. But
after paying his federal income
tax on this sum he would find
that he had only $4,000 left for
himself.
Why in the world should he put
his money into a risky venture
that will yield him net no more
than the same sum invested in
state or city tax exempt bonds,
the return on which is as safe
and certain as the sunrise?
A profound and disturbing in
fluence is exercised upon the in
dustrial progress of the country
by thus diverting into state and
municipal securities the funds Of
rich men, who, because they are
rich, should be the very ones to
pioneer the new fields of industry.
Worse still, the competition Of
rich mems funds for these secu-
rites serves to increase the
natural tendency of cities and
states TO extravaganza expendi-
ture.
No more important duty con-
fronts congress than to brine nc
eleven or twelve thousand million
dollars Of tax exempt securities
under the income tax.
Possibly a constitutional amend
ment will be necessary under the
income tax.
1t seems entirely probable
however that since the sixteenth
Gncome taX) amendment TO tho
constitution empowers Congress.
TO tax income from all sources
it can tax income even from the
securities Of the minor govern
mental units.-Atlanta Georgian.

1t s Up TO You.

The future of every town or
city rests largely, if not entirely,
on the shoulders of its CONNER
cial body-the Chamber of Com
merce.
Property comes to every
community through tireless and
everlasting effort on the part of
its citizens, directed through its
commercial organization.
The merchant in city who
fails to support his Chamber of
Commerce with his efforts and
his money is neglecting a civic
duty that is as important as the
paying of his taxes. The work
of the commercial body must
re done by some one, and ev-
cry man should do his share, or
he is placing himself under OBJ
legations to another who is per
forming this task for him. p
Cities, as we have said more
than once before, grow from
WITHIN and not from the out
side. If you would see prospect
ty, growth and happiness in your
town, put your shoulder to the
wheel.
For three years the communi-
ty has faced crop failures that
have affected every line Of
business. This is true of every
city or village in South Georgia
Indications now are that the
worm is turning, that from now
on we will begin to retrieve that
which has been lost. South
Georgia seems to be in line for
its greatest growth and pros
perity.
The city with an adequately
financed Chamber of Commerce
possessing live. working mem
bership, will reap its snare OF
the good times that are before
us. The city that is not so
situated, will continue to lose
even that which it has.
The answer lies in the heart
of every man in the communi-
ty. The responsibility can't be
passed to another. It's time to
plan. What is your answer?
Are you a member-a WORK
ING member = of your cham
Der? Have you paid your dues
for the year that is closing?
Are you doing your part?
The answer to those questions
is the answer to whether you are
a worthwhile citizen or other
wise.

down several times during the
day, for about 20 minutes at a
time. to rest the overworked
Heart. Remember, when we're
standing up the heart has to
pump the blood stream the full
! height Of the body. When ly-
ng down, gravity helps-the
lood flows parallel with the
round, like water through hori-
zontal pipes
The second big need is fresh
air and lots of it.
Exercise comes third. Com
9ine it with play, to relax the
nerves. There'll tie plenty of
time to scrub the floor and do
'lher physical labor later.
Finally, the thing that is
vrecking the nerves of the
American people is needless
lsh-hurry at breakneck speed
nd without any special destina-
ion. We have to speed up at
our work but it's time to slow
i0wn and take things easy"
hen the bell rings and we quit
W jobs until tomorrow.
The best exercise for women
Who want to reduce is scrubbing
Ne kitchen floor, claims Mrs.
Catherine H. Griebel. of N. ].
State College of Agriculture.
Maybe so, but it's like telling
the tired business man it would
do him as much good to get
caddie job as to play golf.
Wood chopping is about as
ne exercise as there is. But
res no danger of wood
chopping becoming the national
port.
People, when they exercise,
want to get away from work.
After all, it's a good thing for
IS to try to get our physical ex-
srcise in the form of play. Ex-
~rciae helps the muscles and in
ternal organs, but play makes
he nerves relax, which is just
IS important as developing the
muscles.
There isn't much relaxation of
tense nerves when we combine
hard work with our exercise.
The average person who
needs exercise" usually is the
victim OF nerves rather than of
physical inactivity. This can be
proved by going to bed and
staying week, thereby getting
rest and nerve relaxation that
will do many Of us as much
good as a wohle season of golf.
1t s a mistake to start a cam
palgn OF strenuous exercise un-
less we'r prepared to get more
hours of sleep than we've been
used to.
Sleep does us more good than
all the pills, serums and other
forms Of dope" ever devised.

idea that the passing of the saloon
would stimulate the sales of soft

prohibition has dealt soft drinks a
