/ % STOOP SHOULDERS Little Talks on Health and Hygiene By Samuel O. Dixon. M. D., D., Commissioner of Health *■ * Atlas bore the weight of the heaven* upon his head and hands, affording to n Greek myth, but those of mankind who carry the burden of life, too often lot it rest upon their shoulders. Stoop shouldered men and women by th< thousands are to be found among the followers of sedentary occupations. Nine oat of ten when the subject is mentioned will square away ■ their Shoulders anil say, "I'm getting a lit tle careless about that." Then they make a momentary resolve that they will brace up and overcome the fault. That it is a fault and one that has a • ustiut't bearing upon health there is no question. No system .>f physical culture is complete which does not include exer cises which .teach erect carriage an I deep breathing. One of these is im possible without the other. In this lies the chief ill effect of stoop shoulders. To maintain good health we sluiuld use cur lungs to their normal capacity • t all times. The proper purification of the blood through oxygenation re quires ample brent hiug. Prop your shoulders forward and then try to take n full breath; see how impossible it is to do so iu that position. Breathing v.'th the shoulders forward an i the breast bone depressed is only partially accomplished. The lower portion of tne lungs cannot he emptied and in stead of receiving a supply of fresh air they will be tilled with residual air. To work, sit or walk day after day with "the shouiders hunched forward, means that the lung capacity is les sened just so much and A corresponding loss of vitality results. Such a posture aiso permits the sng ging of the diaphragm, a resulting di> placement of the abdominal organs and ioa.ls to serious digestive disturbances. Do not resort to shoulder braces or other mechanical menus to correct stooping shoulders. These are but makeshifts which o not remedy the real trouble. Make the mental effort necessary to keep the body erect. By maintaining proper posture the muscles can be strengthened and made to do taeir work of holding the body up right. When children exhibit a tendency to g. - ow stoop shouldered parents and teachers should see to it that they are j.iven physical exercises to correct the iault.

March 22.—The leaf tobacco dealers of Lancaster have at j last commenced their long delayed buy- : iug of the 1914 crop of Lancaster' county, but it is a question now how ' much best quality goods thev will get.' Xor will they get it at as low pries as they had calculated upon, though the prices they are receiving are very I much too low for the growers. The bis j outsi le concerns have bought fully 6o j 1 per cent, of the crop, and another 10 ! | per cent, has been taken by locai packers, leaving 23 per cent, still in the growers' hands. It is significant of the changed con dition of the Lancaster tobacco mar ket that prior to the last three or four years the entire crop was either soldi on the field, before the plants were cut,. or before the Christmas holidays. The ! last few years plenty of growers had ■ their tobacco on hand up to the time i the spring work on the farm began, i which was a serious handicap, as the care of the tobacco took them from - other very necess.v.y work. The crops sold the early ;-Urt of the present sea- 1 son brought fiom 9 to 10 cents, prob- j ably a fourth of the tobacco bringing this, while those sold recently did not bt;ng more than 6. 7 or 8 cents a pound. The last named figure was for I tobacco that the grower could have sold early in the season for 10 cents, i but it was held for better prices. Grow ers, alike with the packers and cigar manufacturers, looked for a spring' boom, but as this appears backward about coming the growers are now anxious to sell. As the new tobacco j was cured under very unfavorable weather conditions, a good deal of con cern is felt by the packers over the question of it going through the sweat | properly, failure to do so entailing heavy losses upon the owner.
