cal attention.
 If a child from six to nineteen years of ago has Thigh shoulder or Thigh hip," tendency to slump or drop the shoulders and stand in the iswayback position with chest sunken and belly protruding (pot- belly) medical care is always nec- essary to prevent development of permanent deformity. Suitable ex- ercises prescribed by the physician for special corrective purpose, as well as regular program of daily play within the child's physical ca- pabilities, are an important part of the treatment. Braces, corests or other mechanical supports or props should never be used except under medical supervision.
 Nutritional deficiency, not lack of sufficient nourishment, is probably the most common fundamental fac- tor of spinal curvature. It is a boon for all growing children who are delicate" or weak" on physical de- velopment if they can receive daily ration of the essential vitamins B. complex and D to supplement their diet. This helps to overcome the constitutional incapacity to assimi- late calcium and phosphorus (vita- min D) and the neurmuscular weak ness fvitamin B-complex) which account for the chronic fatigue of such children. Relieved of his or her constant feeling of lassitude the young person regains some of the natural desire or inclination to play, comes alive again.. This is important in its bearing on exercise in the prevention and correction of spinal curative and other physical deficien- cies or deformities, no matter what individual or special method of manageent may be required in the given case.

I suppose you have heard be- fore this that the best thing to do is to go out, leave Buddy sweetly alone and let him kick a hole in the floor without an audience. And that when he has discovered 1t never pays to let himself go, he will get nicely over his dramatics.
 All this is true. The child who simply can't stand disappointment (and it is usually that in one form or another), is going to show the disappointed that he isn't the one to take 1t.
 Now if I seem to be heartless about this grave matter, I want to assure you that my sympathy lies with the child rather than with the family.
 The poor little fellow would not have his spells if he was not very unhappy. And he is unhappy, ei- ther because he has always had his own way, or because he is just gen. orally miserable about things.
 The best way to treat him at the time is to quietly let him alone. To comfort him may only prolong it. To spank, shade or throw water on him may only put off the issue.
 I would suggest gradual change in his daily discipline. He should learn little by little that he must conform to a reasonable order. Don't be one way at noon and another by six.
 Be sweet and merry with him. But let him know that you are his captain and that means obedience.
 Yours sincerely,
 OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

Reach toward the ceiling, pulling lazy waistline muscles up, up, up. ow lower right hand to side and bend to the right as far as possible. stretching waistline. Do not let head fall forward. Reverse, rais- ing right arm, lowering left, then bending to the felt.
 Now bend forward, keeping knees stiff, and bend backward as far as possible.
 The last step is most important. Stand near wall with back toward 1t, then bend backward. Repeat ten times a day, trying to bend farther backward each time. Within a few weeks, you'll be able to bend until your head almost touches the base board. This is fine for fiabby stomach muscles as well as waistline.

 The waistline willbe the focal point of figure beautythis fall. The seasons smaretst dresses are ultra slim-waisted, and no one who is thick through the middle possibly can wear them-wear themwell, that is.
 It isn't likely that you'll be able to lose sevreal inches around your waistline between now and time to buy the first fall dress. But you no doubt can reduce your waist meas urements at least one inch between now and then without an unreason- able amount of trouble.
 If you are overweight, you prob- ably will have to eat less, as well as do proper exercises twice a day. If you are not overweight, but simply need little re-shaping through the middle, exercise alone will do the trick.
 Bending and stretching routines are the most efflcacious, of course. Find ten you like, then do them ten times each-night and morning. WILL KNOCK

NEGLECTED SPINAL CURVA-
 TURF


 So far as the general population is concerned physical education ir this country is silly waste of time This attitude of the public reflects the snobbery of our educators (themselves physically uneducated) toward this comparatively modern departure of education. With few exceptions the highbrows have done everything they could to prevent introduction of department of physical education into the public school system and have by their ignorant. intolerant attitude en- couraged misguided parents and their children to evade physical in- struction even when some sort of physical work has been nominally required for graduation. The sorry course the educators have pursued in reference to physical training leads one to question whether it is worth while loafing through college except where it is indispensable for licence to practice a profession or as qualification to get a job.
 Probably less than one-fifth of all cases of spinal curvature leading to permanent deformity are diagnosed in the stage when proper treatment can restore the body to normal. The reasons for this negligence are CD the readiness of parents and many teachers to aid and abet evasion of proper physical training by the delicate" or mot strong" child in school; CD the failure of the family doctor to insist on the child,s right to fair education; and (O the penny-wise pound foolish idea that mere delicacy or physical frailty in a growing child is natural" or "in- herited" and does not merit medi-

 Answer = Daily use of several ounces of wheat germ, best freshly purchased every few weeks, can do no harm, may do a great deal of good in any case of heartartery trouble where circulation is impair ed. If wheat germ not available or acceptable, then take at least 300 international units of vitamin B in the natural vitamin B-complex, to supplement the daily diet.

Drama Is Promised
With Eight-Thirty,
Sun Lover Vying
Saturdays Race Recalls
Sensational Upset by
Jim Dandy in 1880
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 16.-A couple of mighty fast
horses will be in there cunning
for Johnstown's tottering 3-year-
old crown Saturday and, judging
by the record, anything might hap
pen.
The race is the $4,000 Travers
Midsummer Derby, oldest on the
American turf. It's record over a
period of 72 years includes more
than its share of ppsets-like Jim
Dandy's victory over Gallant Fox
and Whichone in 1890.
The Fox and Whichone were bat
tling for the 3-year-old crown that
year. They had divided stake after
stake all season and the Travers
was billed as the big race, the one
that would decide the title. But
they reckoned without jim, mud
lovin' son of a mud -lovin' father,
Jim Gaffney.
He was 100 to l that day. Some
books even might have been pre-
vailed upon to let you write your
own ticket. But it came up mud,
and when the race was over, they
threw the book out the window.
Gallant Fox and Whichone, both
quoted at nearly even money, were
wallowing in the mire and Jim Dan
dy was lengths in front.
That Travers brought the largest
crowd the famed Spa track ever
has seen. There are those, though,
who will tell you the one this week
end-When Johnstown meets Sun
Lover and the fast-coming Eight
Thirty-will equal, or maybe better,
that big day.
At that, it looks to be the horse
race to do it. Sun Lover was in
front of JohnstoWn in the Arling-
ton classic in which Challedon took
his second victory over the Ken
lucky Derby winner. At first the
Travers appeared to be a race be-
| tween the two of them Then
Eight-Thirty won a pair of nicely
run stakes here and right now it
appears to be a three horse affair.
That seems to set up the forth
coming Travers as a modern coun-
terpart of the Gallant Fox Which,
one gallop of some years back. And
something as surprising as Jim Dam
dy-maybe even the unpredictable
Ell Chico-may come winging home
in front and scramble the 3-year-
old situation still further.
