The Milk Foundation of Stratford Ask your BAD POSTURE CAN UNDERMINE HEALTH Poor posture is ugly, fatiguing and damaging to the health, Dr. Jerome $. Peterson of the New York City De- ' partment of Health says in an article in a recent issue of Hygeia, the health \magazine of the. American Medical Association. "Poor health, depressed mental at- titude and bad posture seem to go to- gether,' Dr. Peterson says. "Bad posture will throw the body out of alignment and may do serious damage to the internal organs as a result of unnatural compression." The writer's formula for improving the posture is: "Stand correctly; stand as tall as possible without rising on your toes. Get your feet a few inches apart and point your toes forward. Hold your head up. Bring your chin in. Your chest should be up. The lower abdomen should be in and flat, but don't strain yourself and don't become stiff. Let your hands hang loosely at THE While business in practically every line of commerce and industry in Canada miay presently be classified as good, this applies particularly to the fur industry; in fact it never was so active in raw fur production, on fur farms, in trapping, in fur manu- facturing and in the retail trade. At the auction fur sales in Mont- real in June of this year, ermine and wild mink prices were 40 per cent. above those paid in April; ranch mink and badger were up 25 per cent.; marten, beaver and muskrat sold from 15 to 25 per cent. higher. Keen de- mand linked with higher costs in every direction were the causes of the upward surge in prices. This means that milady's fur coat, or any other fur garment or article made of this year's pelts, whether of top or lower grade fur, is going to cost more. If she fancies a mink coat made from top quality wild pelts, such as those that recently sold at $67.50, it would cost around $10,000. It takes 80 pelts to make a mink coat of this type, so that the cost for the skins alone quality coat involves infinite skill and considerable time.

FUR PRICES ON INCREASE and other garments most in demand for next season is more or less un- certain, as all kinds of furs are selling readily. A factor that has caused a boom in sales is the return of men in the armed forces from the European war theatre. Many of them have saved fairly sizeable amounts of money and they are eager to buy their wives, sweethearts, mothers or other women relatives, from whom _ they have been away fror a long time, an expensive present. Many of these women are expressing a preference for furs. Then employment has been at a high point at reasonably good pay, so that a greater percentage of people have more money to. spend, than in the pre-war years and the fur trade is getting a good share of the ready money.

HONEYMOON SHOPPING Dear Miss St. John: My boy friend has just come home We plan to get mar- ried very soon. I have an aunt living in a-border city. That is where we are foing for our honeymoon. While we are there we are going into the U.S.A. for a day or two. There are so many mice things to buy over there, we'd love to do some shopping. Do you know if there is a high tax on what we might bring over? Thanking you-- ENID. Answer: After spending a_ couple of days in the United States, Cana- dians are allowed to bring back up to $100 worth of goods purchased over This exemption is al- lowed only once in four months. We hope you will have a blissful honey- moon, Enid. INA ST. JOHN. AN ELDERLY SUITOR Dear Miss St. John: Seven years ago I was widowed. I had two children to raise--a son and a daughter. My boy is married now and my girl soon will be. A neighbor has lived alone with a housekeeper for years. He wants me to marry him. I like him. He is kind. He would take the responsibility off my shoulders and be company, too. The trouble is, he is as old as my Dad. My family and all my relations think I'm foolish to think of marrying him. He has money, but of course I have enough to live on anyway. Do you think I'd be better NO PLACE LIKE HOME For a long time I have lived with my father and kept house for him. We lived in an upper duplex. Not long ago he died. I worked short hours. He was able to do all the heavy work. This place is very comfortbale, but I find it lonely. My only sister wants me to go to Ottawa to live with her and her husband. I never lived out- side Stratford. I am nearly 37. Do you think I would be any happier in a strange place? MARGARET. Answer: Those who have a com- fortable home in these days of hous- ing shortage are fortunate, Margaret. Such a boon should not be lightly given up. Could you not visit your owed for a month or longer in order ito find out if you would be happy ithere? It is a great change to leave lone's life-long friends and environ- iment. It should not be difficult to find isome congenial person to share yuor jhome. INA ST. JOHN. WALKING TO HIGH SCHOOL Dear Miss St. John: We are two High School girls. So far we have come in every day. We come with a neighbor. He works in town. Sometimes he has no work. Then we have to walk four miles. Our mothers have made us promise not to ride with strangers, so we often walk when we could ride. This is awfully tiresome. Do you see any sense in mothers being like that? B. and K. Answer: Perhaps your parents will make some more satisfactory arrange- ments for you now that the _ cold weather is so near. We do believe that any amount of walking would be better than accepting rides. from strangers. Your mothers are thinking of your safety, girls. INA ST. JOHN.

Answer: Well, Reader, it is diffi- cult to advise you on this very import- ant step in your life. Certainly we would urge you to consider the matter very carefully. You fail to give any particulars as to the difference in your ages. Surmising that you are middle-aged and your friend over 20 years your senior, he is probably al- ready up in years. Five or ten years from the present he will be an old man. Do you care enough for him to look after him through his declining years? This is but one point in many that you will have to think through before your final decision. We feel that you will reach a satisfactory de- cision if you give yourself sufficient time. INA ST. JOHN.
