HEALTH HINTS
By Bernarr NIacFadden.

There is only one way in which the
spine can l,e kept young. and that is
through exercise.
There are three conditions for
which one should Strive. and ones
exercises, accordingly. should be
chosen to these ends. Corrective
movements of the right kind are
necessary in Strengthening the spine.
and stretching exercises are espe-
Stretching. bending and spine-twist-
ing exercises are all valuable. not
only in Strengthening the spine. but
in giving 1t that quality of elasticity
and fiexibility which is characteristic
Of youth.
Here is an exercise for f1exibility of
tho upper spine, useless unless per-
formed very thoroughly. First bring
the head far forward, the chin touch
back, looking straight upward. Re
peat all these exercises a few times,
or until slightly tired.
If through bad posture there is
continuous or unnatural strain upon
certain parts of the spine, it will be-
come habitually bent. the ligaments
will become weakened, the cartilages
dattened at one side in the adaptation
to the chronic faulty position. and
one will have deformity OF the back
Here is an exercise for upper spinal
fexibihty: Turn the head around,
first far to the one side, then to the
other, though without strain. Then
bring the head both downward and
to one side. Bring to the &eft side,
then to the right side. then diagonally
backward to each side.
There are many cases OF seriously
DISPLACED vertebrae and spinal de-
formity which will need not only ex-
crcise, but also special adjustment by
some one skilled in such work, such
as an osteopath or chiropractor. One
who possesses a normal spine, how
ever, can keep it normal by the
proper exercise, and even where there
are marked tendencies to spinal cur
vature and displacement of vertebrae
many Of the simple spine-stretching,
spine bending and spine-twisting .ex-
ercises will have great corrective
value.
Here is a simple stretching exercise
which may be performed first with
both hands together then with each
hand separately. Stretch one arm as
high upward as possible and stretch
downward with the other arm. This
| Is particularly effective in its influ-
ence upon the dorsal spine.

soURcE-A given name.
The family name of Adams is. Of
course, a shortened form of Adamson,
or adams son."
This surname, together with the
many variations which have been
formed from the medieval diminu-
tives Of the given name, is unusually
widespread, because the given name
itself was far more common in the
middle ages than. it is today.
The medieval English were
sturdy, simple folk, comparatively
few of whom could read. and so they
lacked the modern facilities to search
through the Scriptures for names for
their children that the modern ability
to read, coupled with the develop
ment of printing. would have given
them. There was little incentive to
learn to read, since books could be
produced only by handwriting and
were excessively expensive. Hence
they got their knowledge of the
Scriptures by word of mouth, and
naturally the names which stuck in
their memories were those connect
ed with the most dramatic passages.
Naturally the story of the creation
was among the most prominent,
which explains why the name of Eve
as well as Adam was so popular.
"Adcock" was a diminutive of the
given name. 1t became q family
name. as "Adcockson," and was final.
ly shortened again to Adcock. "Ad"
| and "Adkin" or "Atkin" were also
| forms of the given name, giving rise
to Addison, Adkins, Atkinson, At
!. kins and Atkinson.
| The Scottish or Celtic form of the
given name was "Adhamh." A sept
of the Clan Gordon bears this name,
tracing it to Adam de Gordon, An
| glo-Norman founder of the clan in
the twelfth century.
MacAdam is sept name in the
| Clan MacGregor.
| The. Clan AID. or MacAdie, is a
i branch of Fergusons.
Adamson, Ayson. Esson and Mac
Reggie, all Of which are said to be
derived from the given name of
Adam, are septs of the Clan Mackin-
| tosh.
