FASHION
How TO Make Good
Posture q Natural"

forward with shoulders rounded.
Sit tall. When sitting at desk,
writing, bend forward from the
hips, not from the waistline. The
hips are natural hinges; you should
use them.
When reading on sofa or bed, be
sure that the back is properly sup
ported. A sagging back throws
muscles out of kilter, has deplor-
able effect upon the feminine figure.
Special Rules
There are special rules for the
lady boss of the domestic works. If
she must carry a heavy object she
must not lean too far to one side.
Lifting something from the floor is
done with less effort if she bends
her knees, takes a semi-squatting
position, keeps the torso erect. The
usual way is to bend over, strain
ing the back muscles.
When ironing, cooking or dish
washing the weight should be on
both feet, body balance perfect.
This means less fatigue when the
days job is done, the kids are
tucked in bed and there is the pros
pect of a pleasant evening with the
Pappy.

GOOD posture begins in the mind.
If woman has keen desire to look
smart and snappy, she will carry
her body beautifully. If she doesn't
care about appearance her move
ments will lack grace.
In posture, as in other things,
good habits are the key to success.
It is important to stand, walk and
sit correctly. Although many teen
ayers go through their calisthenics
regularly in school, they lose stance
and perfection of carriage at other
times. Teachers Of physical educa-
ton get pretty discouraged. They
report that the effect Of gym les
sons is more pronounced among
boys than girls. Boys have more
pride in their figures, are intent on
developing broad shoulders and full
chests.
Sitting Posture
When sitting, sit far back in the
chair so your back is supported.
Keep the spine tall, head and upper
body balanced. Place the soles Of
your shoes on the floor, feet close
together. The pose of the feet is
important if one would appear we'll.

DICKY, Junior and I straight
ened to attention in our chairs as
Mary and Roderick came back into
the room, and one look at the radi-
ant face Of Dicky's young nephew
told me that he had heard nothing
Of our colloquy concerning him.
"Did you think we'd crawled
through the barred windows :"
Mary asked gaily. II know we've
been gone an awful long time, but
we had SO many loose threads to
catch up, and we're not finished yet.
But my young brothers eyes began
to get droopy, and I remembered
what a hard day he'd had, so took
pity on him. I'm recommending an
Immediate bye-bye for both doughty
lads"
A Protest
"I'm not sleepy" Junior pro-
tested.
"Neither am T." Roderick echoed,
playing up.
Nevertheless" Dicky said firmly,
"you're both going to bed at once.
I'm promising myself the pleasure
of showing you both some city sights

and I want you in shape. Then the
day after tomorrow will be another
hard day. So-come along with mel"
He stood up, and the boys rose
with him; the habit Of obedience is
strong within them.

nj ANY girls have the mistaken
A'A idea that throat care needn't
begin until middle-ags.
They forget that it is easier to
preserve youthful contours than to
correct a sagging throat condition
and believe they're too young to
attend to som ething reputed to 60
with later years.
Actually, however. II you'd pre-
serve youthful neck contours, it's
wise to begin right now before you
turn thirty. 1t takes just few extra
minutes, to give your neck good
beauty care. Here's what you do:
Using a good throat cream, spe-
eially blended to keep young the
delicate skin of the throat, stroke
gently upward from the area where
your slip normally ends. As you
apply it, the cream will be softened
and further liquefied by the warmth
of your hand.
Use your throat cream up to the
base Of the ear or about level with
the line of the cheek bone, because
this helps keep facial contours
delicately rounded.
Follow the throat cream appli-
cation by patting on a special as
tringent with cotton. This helps to
tone the skin and restore the youth
fu1 color that NAV have deserted it.

PeniciI|in Used Successfully
In Treating OsteomyeIitis

away, the area is washed with q
solution of penicillin. In most in
stances, the wound is closed at the
time of operation, though some-
times where infection is severe it
may be necessary to provide for the
drainage of infected material.
Following Operation
In every case the penicillin Is
continued following the operation.
Streptomycin may also be used in
certain cases, depending on the
type of germs responsible for the
infection, since some kinds Of
trouble-makers may be eliminated
more quickly with this drug than
with penicillin.
This type Of treatment makes
possible more thorough cutting
away of infected bone because dan
ger of spreading the infection is
eliminated by the penicillin. Fur
thermore, the one operative wound
may be closed, thus decreasing the
number of painful changes of
dressings and the length Of the pa
TENTS stay in the hospital. It would
appear, too, that with this method
of treatment, the number Of cures
is greater.
Form Of Treatment
The other form of treatment
employed in this condition is what
is known as the open method. In
such cases, the operative wound IL
drained. Of course. when drainage
is necessary, the dressings must be
frequently changed and healing may
60 on at a slower rate.
Osteomyelitis causes fever, pain
in the affected a~oe and some swell.
ing of the tiss IS. The diagnosis
can be definitely made by X-ray ex-
animation of the bone.
It seems quite certain that in
penicillin, streptomycin, and the
sulfonamide drugs we have our best
weapons against this disabling dis
ease.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Reader: For what purpose Is
dexedrine used?
Answer: Dexedrine has been en-
ployed recently to aid in reducing
weight, since it seems to have some
effect in controlling the appetite.
However, it should be- utilized only
under the direction Of the physician
in the dose which be prescribss.

OSTEOMYELITIS or infection
Of the bone has always been notori-
ously stubborn and difficult to treat.
Children afflicted in this way were
particularly to be pitied. Many a
little victim has, in the past, spent
as much as year in the hospital
without being completely healed
even after numerous, painful opera
tions. All too frequently, the slow
fire Of the infection destroyed so
much bone that the child was con-
denned to limp through life with
one leg shorter than the other.
Today, penicillin and other germ
fighting drugs have revolutionized
the treatment of this dread disorder,
making healing speedier and much
more sure.
Plan of Treatment
In the plan of treatment used at
the Mayo Clinic by DR.. Frederick
M. Graham and his co-workers, the
main attack on the disease is still
surgical and involves cutting away
of the infected bone, but the use of
penicillin and other drugs has made
all the difference in the success OF
the operation and the rate of heal
ing.
Penicillin is given for from three
to seven days before the operation
In some cases sulfathiazole is also
given and other measures used to
build up the patient. These include
the injection Of whole blood into a
vein if the patient is suffering from
anemia.
After the infected bone is cut

WE were in the country for the
weekend and expecting half a dozen
guests. The neighbor-boy who dug
clans had just deposited a half peck
basket of them on the back porch.
"What kind of clam chowder shall
l make" asked the Chef.
"This time let's have it New Eng
land style, made with milk. And l
think frankfurters would be good
as the main dish. Clam chowder and
smoked meat always taste good in
the same menu"
"You call the frankfurter a
smoked meat Madame / would
call it sausage made of chopped
meat"
A Sausage
you're right, the frankfurter is
a sausage. It's usually made of
forty percent tender pork trim
mings and sixty percent beef trim
mings; sometimes entirely of
boned shoulder of beef. The meat is
chopped fine, curing materials
added, and put in a cooler to cure
for two or three days. Then the
spices are mixed in, old-fashioned
spices-such as coriander and mace.
The sausage meat is stuffed into cas-
ings and allowed to hang overnight.
Finally they're smoked"
"Is there any further cooking?"
asked the Chef.
Eyes, the frankfurters are cooked
in the factory by immersion in hot
water or by hot steam or water
spray"
"Ah, now l understand why we
should cook the frankfurters only
for short time. Otherwise they
will become dry and have the
wrinkles"
"Frankfurters are a good buy for
the money. They are all meat. They
have no waste. They contain no ex-
cess fat like many other kinds Of
sausages. And they certainly taste
good" I went on.
~ do not like to boil the frank
furters because it takes out the
flavor and they taste dull" the Chef
remarked. ~ prefer to roast them

A VERY lively and interesting
day is forecast from the aspects of
the purely personal, social, cul-
tural and youthful activities normal
to the weekend holiday. Although
the mental outlook is well stimu-
lated for activity, dealings, con-
tracts and travel, and there are
some signs favoring money and pos
sessions, especially those identified
with domestic or social interests,
yet the leaning to excuses and in
diligence warns against IMPROVE
dent notions or making new agree
ments. Postpone lavish use Of funds
or energies.

High costs force us to ask for
another increase in telephone rates
Higher wages an important factor

When rising costs forced to ask for increased tee
phone rates in December 1916 was our first request
for increase since 1925 In the publics interest we
asked for only the bare minimum required at that time
Since then, telephone costs like those of every
other business gone up. Recent wage increases
together with the high costs of construction materials
and supplies have brought expenses to the highest
level in history
The rate increases previously granted less than
we asked for and much less than needed to meet todays
increased costs of operation
That is why we have asked the Public Service Com
mission for another increase in telephone rates.
Our earnings arefnof enough
to attract investors money
We must have sufficient income to meet our day-
byday operating costs And there must be enough left
to pay fair and reasonable return to investors the
people whose money is used to build telephone
facilities Otherwise, these people will not continue to
put their savings into the telephone business.
Since 1889, our plant investment has increased by
over $70,000OO0- or more than doubled. But our
1913 earnings for each dollar of plant investment are
$50 lower than they were in 1882
Our earnings under the rate increases granted are
insufficient to attract the additional capital needed
And without the investors money, we cannot put up
