HOW TO KEEP WELL

strain when thus unduly hampered.
Again, the prominent relaxed abdo-
men which is so often present in chill
dren with stopped shoulders and weak
abdominal muscles, permits the sag
ging of the stomach and intestines,
with consequent stretching of the
nerves and blood vessels supplying
them, and so it interferes with diges-
ton. These form what doctors call a
vicious circle. The sagging abdomen
tends to bring on indigestion, and this
in turn produces furthers relaxation.
These abnormal conditions are not
necessary; they are more apt to occur
in some children than in others, but
they can nearly always be prevented
or corrected in their early stages, by
giving attention to upright postures
when standing and sitting, and by TAX
ing simple setting up exercises night
and morning, under a physicians di-
rection.

of young children in Maryland, too

have far reaching influence on their
subsequent health, the m a tier is

That incorrect standing or sitting
postures in youth the the causes of
some of the diseases in later life was
pointed out in bulletin by the health
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association this week The
statement declares that these postures
are not inherited as is commonly be-
lieved but are the result of faulty
training in standing or sitting. IN
Maryland and several other states a
campaign to correct these habits is be-
ing actively conducted through the
schools and health organizations
Poor posture Is generally the result
of bad habits, and like other habits,
is acquired through inattention or in
difference" declares the bulle in
Moreover 1t has been definitely shown
that good posture, that is an upright
position when standing or sitting with
the chest prominent and the abdo-
men fiat furthers health; while con-
tracted chest and relaxed abdomen
are often factors in inducing ill health.
1.-The causes Of these are not far to
seek. A narrow chest contracted in
any direction, diminishes the space re-
quired for the normal extension of the
lungs, and free action of the hearth,
consequently these organs are often
less able to Withstand diseases and

here tonight In speech delivered be-
fore crowd that packed the Armory,
attacked the Democratic tariff policy
and praised Hoover's three-fold pro-

Mr.. Nelson advocated the election

standard-bearers, Herbert Hoover and
Charles Curtis. as the most direct
means Of accomplishing relief for the
farmer.
Declaring the tariff to be one of the
great issues of the campaign, Mr.. Nell
son said: 1.-THE Underwood tariff,
made effective in 1913, during the last
Democratic administration, brought
about a drastic change in our eco
nomic system. and would have been
ruinous in its effect had not the war

prices.

WHEAT VALUES

Winter Condition, Cause
Ascendancy-

Chicago, Dec. 6.-(P)-Corn values
developed fresh strength today, and
did considerable to impart firmness
to prices of other grain. Buying Of
future deliveries in the corn market
came largely from yesterdays SELL
ers. and there were also indications
of further export purchases of corn
both here and at the Gulf of Mexico.
Developments regarding farm legis-
lation at Washington were being
closely watched.
Corn closed unsettled, &c to Mc

Mch 48A, May 4SN). And pro-
visions unchanged to 1Oc down.
Unwelcome heavy rains in north
crn Argentina and forecast that
wheat shipments from Argentina
would show some decrease account
ed largely today for comparative
firmness of the Liverpool wheat
market, and helped at times to lift
wheat values here. In addition,
there were advices that although
wheat yields in parts of Australia
are excellent the yield in western
Australia is very disappointing, and
will be 100000 bushels less than
expected.
Private reports given out in Chi
cago today indicated that BOT per
cent of the 1928 domestic wheat crop
is still on the farms. The total new
winter wheat area was estimated at
45,117,000 to 46,6lO,OOO acres, and
the present cont ion at 949 to 97.3
per cent. These reports failed to af-
feet the market, being near to what
had generally been predicted.
