Mrs. Peter and Mrs. Pete were both

Mrs. Pete was quite new to the Old

to say that the Old Pasture was quite

your poor posture may be due to an

between 116 and 12O pounds. / advise
you to do three things: ~ Build up
your general health. (2) practice cor

special corrective exercises daily. The
correct way to stand is the easiest
that is, the weight is balanced in such
way that the least effort is required
to hold the body erect. Stand as tall
waited, abdomen in and the curves in
your back at shoulders and waist shall
low. The correct way to sit is with
hips pushed well back in the chair.
chest elevated. abdomen fiat and feet
parallel. The inverted bicycle exer-
else IS good one for helping correct
hollow backs. Lie on your back on
the floor, double up your knees on
your chest and then kick up vertical
ly with each leg in turn, stretching
the heels upward with each kick. Re.
peat 10 to 20 times. For the round
shoulders. stand or sit erect, place
your hands on your shoulders, elbows
bent, and then rotate the arms at the
shoulder joint. describing wide circles
in the air with the elbows. I would
advise any girl of your age who finds
that she has developed postural de-
fects to join gymnasium class where
she may obtain suitable corrective
exercises under the supervision of a

BUSINESS HOLDING UP.
Normal Conditions Prevail in Fifth
District, Report Says.

RICHMOND, Va, October l @.-
Business conditions in the Fifth Fed
eral Reserve Bank district during Au.
gust and the early part of September
compared favorably with the seasonal
average, according to the monthly re-
view of business and agricultural con-
ditions released by the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Richmond today. While
business was not uniform and some
lines were much better than others
the average was favorable.
Increased rediscounts at the Federal
Reserve Bank and an increase in the
circulation of Federal Reserve notes
during the past month indicate that
Fall trade has opened up normally.
Coal production in the fifth dis
trict continues very large. textile
mills are operating full time on
volume of forward orders sufficient to
run them several months and this Is
in sharp contrast to the hand-to-
mouth operations of 1925.
Official crop estimates are, on the
whole, favorable. Cotton and fruit
show the only material declines in
yields from last year, and in the fifth
district the increase in cotton prices
will more than compensate for the
decreased production this year. This
years tobacco crop bids fair to be
more remunerative than last years
profitable crop.

Early Fall frosts are endangering
the crop in some districts, and from an
expected total Of 26,200,000 barrels on

barrels, says the bureau. Similar re-
ductions have been made for the COM
