Training Children TO Stand Erect

trunk muscles by frequent short
spells of exercise.
Those who organize a school
curriculum are apt to forget that
many growing children cannot
maintain the upright position
continuously for a long time.
The vigorous child receives no
great harm, for he rests these
muscles when he plays after
school. The weak child, on the
other hand. slouches in chair
at home and continues the evil
process, which results in a vi.
cIous circle of abdominal trouble
and self poisoning.
1t would be good for all chill
dren, and 1t is essential for weak
children, several times every day,
especially after meals, to lie on
their backs on a hard surface
with the spine straight. When
possible this should be done In
the sun. A small pillow under
the lower ribs is good and helps
to expand the chest. This is
often quite sufficient treatment
for early cases Of incipient curva'
ture of the spine.
No child WHO needs remedial
exercises can possibly do them
in the upright position.
He must first be taught to do
them lying down, until he can
use his front muscles, which are
the most difficult of all to bring
under control in balancing the
trunk. When the trunk Is well
balanced not only are the limbs
placed in the most favorable posi-
ton, but both the circulation
and digestion are at their best.

|HAVEYOUHAD|
YOUR LIME?

IT IT seldom indeed that the
L thing we want to do is the
thing we ought to do. Desire
and duty usually choose opposite
sides of the road.
Not so with ice cream. Most
OF us desire this frozen dainty
but feel. for no good reason, that
we should eat 1t sparingly. AS
matter Of fact we should satisfy
our desire for the good reason
that 1t Is rich in lime.
Lime is one Of the necessary
articles of food in which the aver
age human diet is most deficient.
Even IL ice cream did not con-
tain nourishing vitamins, fat an6
proteins, 1t should be eaten daily
for the lime it contains.
Ice cream is a pure milk prod
uct. The white race cannot sur"
vive without dairy products.
