Health
Hints

Physical
Culture


If good posture counts for any
thing in its relation to maintaining
q normal spine, good sleeping
position is certainly important.
One spends approximately one
third of ones life in sleep. A
total Of twenty-five or thirty years
spent in an improper and I'M
healthful sleeping position must
have a seriously detrimental effect
upon the spine.
Take a lateral spinal curvature,
for instance. This may be due
very largely to the habit of sleep
ing on one side The real points
OF support in such case are at
the o hips, and at or about the
shoulders. The spinal column is
suspended between these points,
and in the case of one who is
weak or undernourlshed, especially
in the case of "rickety" child,
continued sleeping on one side is
conducive TO spinal curvature
merely through the weight of the
body TO turn over and sleep on
the other side viii tend to correct
the curvature, again o merely
through the weight of the body
Simple as it is, a case of this kind
is a good example of the value of
a little consideration of the sub
jeot
Perhaps the most common of
wrong sleeping positions, however,
is that in which the body rests up
on the back, with a large pillow
under the head This naturally
pushes the head forward, and is
conducive to a permanently bent
spine and round shoulders. If one
is accustomed to sleeping on the
back, or If this is the favorite or
predominating position during
sleep, the pillow should by all
means be dispensed with. Sleeping
on the back on q fiat surface with
out a pillow would be conducive
TO good spinal position, but the
position is undesirable for other
The truth is that Reping
ON the stomach is Jast Is
natural o for The human race
as for amy other form Of g life,
End these who have tried it have
usually found it the most comforts
able position. When sleeping on
the stomach If does not matter
whether one has q pillow or not,
bat a small pillow is advantageous
as it forces the up1ar part of the
spine Upward and backward and
is therefore corrective Of any
round-shouldcved tendency.

ger Of Matching weak chicks to a
very large degree. Second is cor
rect brooding. Many a perfect

carelessness and neglect In brood
ing. The temperature of the brood
er has been allowed to vary too
much and the chicks have been
chilled at one time and too warm
at another. They have been over.
heated and overcooled. This condi.
ton can be overcome by the simple
plan Of setting up and regulating
the brooder well In advance OF the
arrival of chicks so that you know
an even temperature can be MAIN
tanned.
The brooding temperature should
be about 9S degrees around the de-
flector without overheating the
room. This gives a zone growing
cooler from the hover towards the
walls of the brooding room in
which the chicks can find range for
exercise in a temperature suited to
their liking. At night a wire net.
ting should be placed in a circle
around the hover, one to two feet
from the outer edge, to prevent the
chicks from getting too far away
from the heat
When chicks tend to pile up and
chirp almost continuously, It ta
pretty good evidence that the he
is insufficient. If they are comfort
able at night they win be spread
out over the floor near the edge of
the hover In most contented
manner. An important point in
correct brooding is good ventila.
ton. Chicks must have plenty of
fresh air without inaicting any
draft upon them.
As the chicks grow older, the
temperature under the hover may
be reduced, the actions of the little
ones themselves being your guide
in this particular Cleanliness
should be the watchword In brood
ing. The least sign Of vermin
means disease. Overcrowding should
also be avoided. Better too few
than too many. Play safe and
brood about half the number that
the hover Is said to accommodate.
Importance Of Proper Feeding.
The third and final Of the three
big essentials is proper feeding.
This is the simplest and easiest Of
the three because quality chick

Much has been written of the
danger period' in chick raising.
Just now with the early Matching
season in full swing. 1t seems par
ticularly appropriate to discuss this
subject, as 1t is an all-absorbing
topic with poultry raisers who sin
cerely wish to overcome the disad-
vantages that heretofore have
made chick rearing a hazardous I'M
rartakiug for them.
80 begin with, what is this
danger period in chick raising, how
long does 1t last, can it be over
come and how2 These are some of
the questions that come to the
writer's desk every day 1t is
pathetic to note the fear of these
queshoners as to the possibility Of
any other than an expert under
taking TO raise baby chicks at all.
There Is cause for this attitude.
Too much Of the material that
has been written on this subject
has tended to discourage the early
raising Of chicks because Of the in
Vulnerable pitfalls" discussed.
True, there are pitfalls, but for
every pitfall there are a dozen
sane remedies that anyone Of aver
age common sense and mentality
can successfully employ.
Early raising of chicks therefore
Is no longer hazardous under
taking, as it perhaps was some ten
or fifteen years ago, and any idea
to the contrary is erroneous to an
extreme.
Chick Raising Now Easy.
Despite the unintentional propa-
ganda of some who, in seeking to
aid, actually "scare Off people
from the chick industry, the asser-
tion is here made that chick rails
ing today is easy and simple when
the modern methods so readily
within the reach Of all are prac-
ticed.
Lot us return then to the ques-
lions. What is the danger period,
how long does it last, can it be
overcome and now? The answers
to these questions comprise the
rules for the correct raising Of
chicks. The danger period is the
first six weeks Of the chicks life.
1t is the time in the chicks life
when, like the babe in the human
family, its vitality is tested the
most because it is going through
more physical adjustments than It
will be called upon to endure at
any later stage Of its existence.

Mr.. Adair stated, and by this meth

The ideal towards which the
Shrine is working, as pointed out
by the Shrine officials contemplates
the erection of one of these hos
