AS a woman grows older, correct posture becomes even. more impor- tant. One who carries her head high, shoulders square, hips for- ward, and doesn't depend entirely on e corset to keep her stomach nat may look mature-but never Imiddle-agedl
 Every woman should do at least one posture exercise . day. Fortunately, one of the best rou- tines takes only about two min- utes.
 Simply stand about 12 inches away from a wall, then lean backward until the center of your backbone touches 1t. Press body flat against the hard surface until all of the spinal column. except three or four vertebrae at the base of 1t, is touching.
 The base of the spine should be held up and forward, away from the wall. Shoulders should touch lightly. Notice how this pulls your stomach in. that there is no exaggerated hollow in the middle of your back; and how much more slender your hips look. Get into the habit of walk ing and standing this way.
 Never sit on the edge of . chair and don't try to fiatten your shoulders against 1t. Let the lower half of your spine touch the back of the chair.
 When you stand, imagine you are suspended by Q shining silver thread from the sky. That 1t is pulling you gently upward, mak- ing your feet barely touch the ground as you walk along.
 See that the muscles at the sides of your neck support your head. Don't pull chin in, or, worse yet, thrust 1t forward. Hold your head correctly, then forget entirely about your jawbone.
 Learn to hold your hands quietly in your lap. Hands that flutter and fldget detract from charm and boise two charac- teristics which become increas- ingly important as you get older.

Sec here, Mary" said Mrs. Browns older and affluent sister. you will have to do something about Junior"
 "Just what?" smiled Juniors mother.
 "Well, it's just this. When had him those two days while you were sick, I discovered that the boy Is a regular back-scater. It won't do, I tell you"
 "A back -seater? Why, what do you mean, Angela?"
 Well. everything. In the first place, he was actually afraid of my house. I know, it's big and pretty full of fine things. That's where our moneys gone, since we never had any children.
 "After all, the boy Is our blood, and he should feel at home but he kept sitting on the edges Of things and running his little fin- gers over silk draperies as though he's never seen anything like them. Whats worse, though, is the way he scuttled oil to the kitcten or somewhere when some of my friends came in.
 Sister Is the Opposite
 "They wanted to talk to him and be friendly, but he'd just stand there and look self-conscious and rub his toe on his leg. and go Tee hee," if they asked him question. My goodness, he gave everyone the impression he'd grown up in cave in the hills. I never saw a child as killed with inferiority.
 Nov, your Connie Is different. When she comes in she acts as though she owned the place. As though she had liver in a castle all her life, and if she hadn't it was where she rightfully belonged, anyway. She's got both manner and spirit"
 Why. Angela. you surprise me Junior isn't that way here. And think our place Is pretty nice. It'i not grand, like yours, but 1t should give both the children a feleing oi back ground and well-being. cant understand Junior"
 Well, I'd try to teach him to hold his head up, and give people an idea that he's of some importance, al least. People always judge you by your own estimate of yourself"
 "Yes, I know. I have to admit that Junior nearly always gets thu short end of things when he's out playing with the boys. He nevel gets to be leader. He always hold back and seems to be satisfied witt any place he gets. It's part of hi makeup. l guess"
 Too Much Neglected
 "I tell you what I think, Mary Junior never gets places much It's always been Connie you'v, taken around. She's learned t' feel at home almost anywhere And Junior has got too used t' his environment. Besides, thes friends of his are older and a grabb. lot of youngsters, I've noticed. & the boy has learned to think he jlsct an also-ran. He thinks any thing is god enough. He'll neve have Q grain of ambition if he keep on. He ought to feel at home any where"
 "What can I do?"
 You and I are going to star taking him places. We'll show hin some beauty. There are building and gardens and galleries an, beautiful stores. We'll widen hi ] horizon so he won't feel seIf-con

EUItOks JOuFnAl OI tue hmeflC1N a Medical Association. and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine : In the matter of infection, man is his own worst enemy.
 The two main sources of com- municable diseases are men and the lower animals. There are cer- tain diseases which occur only in human beings and which do not, in general, affect animals. all though there may be diseases sim liar to these which do affect ani- mals, some of them not affecting human beings.
 For instance, typhoid fever. syphilis, lcproSy, malaria, yellow fever, scarlet fever, smallpox, humps, measles, chickenpox, and 1nfantile paralysis occur in men. but not in animals. True, 1t is possible to inocllate an animal with these diseases, as has been done on occasion with monkeys, rabbits. and dogs, but the diseases do not occur naturally in animals.
 One kind of disease transmitted from man to man is the respira- tory type-the cough and the cold. Spread of such diseases is facili- tated by the conditions Of modern living.
 Once 1t was recognized that dis case could be spread by water soil, air, and food, and control of these elements was considered all that was considered all that was neces- sary to stop epidemics. Under mod ern conditions, we control these en- vironmental factors satisfactorily. It is exceedingly difficult, however, to control human beings.
 As everyone now knows, many diseases are communicated to man because these diseases affect the lower animals exactly as they af- feet human beings; in other in- stances, because the lower animal or insect is carrier of the dis ease.
 Every one knows that 1t is pos sible to get hydrophobia after be- ing bitten by a mad dog. It has been widely publicized that rats carry plague, and that hog meat may be infected with trichina, which then infects the person who eats the meat.
 Anthrax Is . disease of cattle. Malta or undulant fever was first transmitted by the goat. Milk may be infected with tuberculosis germs from cattle, and all sorts of worms which infest the lower animals may be transmitted to hu- man beings.
 Among diseases which are known Co affect lower animals and which, @ recent years have caused con- Siderable distress among human be- fnes, are tularemia, which Is spread by eating or dressing the meat from m infected rabbit; psittac0sis,

How Mary Teeth Missing, Tramp?
 Another indication of the failure of the "clean tooth never decays" prophylaxis is the great number of people who drift along for months or years with one or more back teeth missing, although they would go to any reasonable expense and trou- ble to fill such a gap in the front teeth where the defect shows. The back teeth are much more import ant for medication than are the front teeth, and use of the jaws as nature intended is necessary for pre- servation of the health and beauty Of the teeth.
 Interstitial gingivitis, pyorrhea, almost inevitably develop sooner or later on the unused side of the mouth where missing teeth lead 10 the habit of one-sided mastication.
 A good tooth you can use in your business of living is worth thous- and dollars. It is foolish economy to try to worry along with a back tooth missing when for a hundred dollars more or less you can have the gap filled with a denture suitable to preserve the functional integrity of the jaws, teeth and gums.
 Many individuals with such tramp instincts lead an edentulous exis- tence not 50 much from false economy as from fear of the den- tai chair. If every one were com pelled to undergo annual inspection cleaning or whatever prophylaxis or treatment the teeth might require there would be no occasion for fear of the dental chair, for under such routine one could scarcely neglect his teeth 50 shamcfully. It is only when the teeth have been neglected over a long period that tedious, dif- ficult and sometimes painful opera

tions become necessary. People who have enough sense of the value of health to make regular visits to the dentor rarely have to endure any pain or serious discomfort.
 A child is never too young to go to the family dentor for proper care and advice whenever there is any trouble with the teeth. Modern dcn- tistry gives the baby or temporary teeth a break. If the milk" teeth are carefully watched by the dcntor, filled when necessary, then when the first of the permanent teeth comes the "six year molar"-there is a sound foundation for strong, even teeth which will give the child an advantage throughout life. The dentor can stop carries or decay m a baby tooth with simple soft filing which lasts long enough to serve the puspose. If the parent or guardian does not betray fear of the dental chair the child makes a tractable patient, as a rule. It is well to re- member, too, that neglected cavities in the baby teeth may become the source focal infections which are quite as serious as are such cones- quences of septic mouth conditions in adults.
 After all. I suppose we can't say a tooth is clean when 1t has begun to decay. It seems to me, however, that conservation of the teeth depends on ta) nutrition, (b) proper function or use. and (c) regular care and ad- Yice by the dentor.
