LORDOSIS, PAUNCH AND
RACKACHE

BACKACHE
The middle aged individual de-
veloping lordosis, paunch and back
ache or pain in the back may obtain
dramatic relief from
Guess what. No. No. Oh, no. 1t
is from exercise. Now cont blame
me, Flabby. This is not my sugges-
ton, although I think 1t a n excel
lent one. 1t is a statement I quote
from an article on Remedial Exer-
cises published by DR.. Guy H. Fisk
in Canadian Medical Association
Journal last February.
In case you are not sure just
what lordosis means it is exagger-
alton of the natural backward curve
Qevel of shoulderblades1 and for
ward curve (middle of the back OF
the spine, commonly called hollow
back of swayback, and often asso-
ciated with round back or round
shoulders, though not always. In
some cases of lordosis the upper part
of the back and the shoulders are
straight and the lower part hollow
Part and parcel of lordosis, in the
fat or the skinny, is pro,uDrance OF
the belly
Fundamental cause of the de-
formity is weakness, mainly due to
neglect of educat ton, physical edu-
cation, especially in childhood and
early youth, the growing period

Clarifying

NEA Service staff Writer

NEA Service staff Writer
One woman who doesn't have TO
worry about shortage OF rubber
for girdles nowadays is the smart
home maker. She can keep in shape
even without ten or fifteen MN
utes day for exercises, provided
she learns correct bending and pos
ture habits.
Instead of just half bending stiffly
forward when picking up the toys
scattered hi.her and yon, she will
really bend her knees, assuming
a squatting position and keeping
her back straight. 1t looks prettier
and it keeps the knees flexible. A
straight backbone with no exag-
gerated hollow in the center of it
also makes the stomach muscles do
some work, and thus they keep firm.
When pushing the baby's car
rage, the wise mother maintains
good posture, and thus gets in
some really beneficial stretching.
The outing won't help, in fact will
fatigue her, if she let's her head
and shoulders lead the rest of her
body by good ten Or twelve inches.
The stool on which she sits to do
the ironing should have a back, and
this should support the base OF
her spinal column firmly.
MAKE EXERCISES
OUT OF WORK
It's less firing to kneel or squat,
when gardening, than to flop for
ward awkwardly. And a great deal
better for stiff, tense muscles.
There's an opportunity to give
the waistline and the arm and
shoulders a wonderfully invigorat-
ing stretching when you're busting
the tops of doors or windows.
And whenever you sit don't
sprawl or slump. When you walk
= don't shuttle. Make yourself sit,
stand and walk correctly all of the
time and you'll notice that you ia
tigue decidedly less quickly.

@. My family dislikes to use soap
after the cake has worn thin, and so
I have a great many small pieces OF
soap which l can't afford to throw
away. Is there any way to melt
them into one bar?
A. Put the soap bits in an enamel
pan and set in another pan contain
ing Water-a double boiler in effect.
Boil the water and the heat will
eventually melt the soap in the up
per pan, after which the molten soap
may be left to cool and harden in
the pan, or it can be poured into
molds of any desired shape.
G. Just what part of the wedding
expenses is the groom supposed to
pay? Does he pay for the bouquets
of the bridesmaids? I am to be mar
ried in the near future and there
seems to be considerable difference
of opinion on the subject.
A. The groom may, if he desires,
purchase the bouquets for the brides
maids, but he is not obligated to do
so. His expenses include wedding
present for the bride, the marriage
license, a personal gift to the best
man and each of the ushers, the
brides bouquet, the wedding ring,
the clergyman's fee and conveyance
after the ceremony, and the wedding
trip.
@. Is there such a thing as
growing pains" in children?
A. No pain is actually associated
with the mere act of growing.
Healthy, vigorous children do not
have growing pairs" but it is never
wise to ignore or neglect a child's
complaint about having pains in
the limbs, especially when the child
is not definite about the kind OF
pain. Growing children should have
at least one anr ual check-up by the
family physician, even if they seem
TO be growing normally. Incipient
trouble can be checked in this way.
