a
Spine Rest
Important
Proper Body Support a
Big Factor in Health
A POOR BEDSPRING
SHOULD BE AVOIDED

Of all the Affections that assail
mankind, curvature of the spine
is perhaps the most treacnerous
and at the same time the most
easily avoided. Curvature creeps
on gradually. In most cases it
is the result of habit, occupation
and essentially personal careless
ness. In short, prone to adopt
the easiet way the average man
or woman "falls" into a "cur-
vature" posture at work or play.
The habit is formed and the spine
gradually yields to it.
1t is not within the scope of
this brief article to dwell at
length upon the evils or the cor
rection of this often self-inhicted
deformity. This is a matter for
your physician. We might, how
ever, refer to bedsprings, for the
prosaic bedspring plays an impor-
tant part in the upkeep of spincs.
Fundamentally, the bedspri 3
is the foundation of a bed and
whether that bed is healthful, or
not, depends entirely upon that
spring. To be really efficient,
bedspring should fit the body and
fully support the spine. This
means that it should be made of
springs tempered and arranged
to hold the body and perfectly
distribute it's weight. There is a
practical reason for this, for, it
is only when the spine is prop
erly supported and the entire
body rests comfortably that the
nerves and muscles also rest in
condition of perfect relaxation.
These two qualities, spine sup
port and relaxation, are essential
to a good bedspring, and it, should
not be forgotten that a spine
comfortably held OR restored to
its normal natural curves at night
should go a long way in correct
ing an improper position of that
spine by day.

An Unfortunate Happening.
1t is decidedly unfortunate, to say
the least, that there should be any
misunderstanding clash of authority
or difference of opinions between the
Federal Reserve Board and any of the
boards of regional reserve districts.
The reserve board. on a divided vote,
ordered the governor and directors Of
the Regional Chicago Bank to reduce
discount rates one-half point.
The Chicago board protested loudly
and they broadcast their objections
and grief over the usurping Of their
peculiar and private authority.
The merits of the case are without
the pale of discussion by those not
thoroughly familiar with the law and
the workings of the act
1t would seem that the Chicago
governor and his directors should be
in closer touch with the needs of the
banks customers and of the regional
district conditions in business than the
reserve board in its rooms in the
Treasury Building.
1t is difficult TO conceive that this
ruction, severe enough for the short
time it has been allowed to germinate.
has not at least hastened Gov. Girls
senger in his determination to lend his
name and his services to one of the

will not be at all injured bv the diff.
