Round Shoulders Should Be Corrected

If you are inclined to be at all round-shouldered, you should! start corrective measures at once, for nothing can add years to your appearance so easily.

Since keeping the neck supple and free from strain, depends largely upon the manner in which the body is carried, exercises which bring the spine and neck into correct position will auto- matically straighten your spine and flatten your shoulders.

Especially con-. structed heels worn for a year or; two under મ doctor's direction often correct foot defects in a child ́and give him the invaluable: asset of good posture, grace of carriage and strength for the rest of his life.

Household Hints

After washing doc-skin or other, skin gloves (leave plenty of clean soap in them at the final rinse);; insert ten clothes-pegs, upside down, in the fingers and thumbs, of each. Then hang the gloves from a line by placing safety-pins through the buttonholes and clasping them. Always hang the gloves in the shade. The pegs will keep the fingers from shrink- ing out of shape as the gloves dry, and they will be much more sup- ple. A little olive oil in the rinsing water also helps to keep the gloves
