It was run to give the prisoners something useful to do and also to teach a man a trade so that when the convict left the big penitentiary he would have means of livelihood other than to followcriminal methods. The quality of furniture turned out by the prisoners was said to be of a high order. The convicts became expert in making odd pieces and whole dining room sets were turned out at ridiculously low cost. Protests from furniture a bird has flown into the execution room.

Will a child outgrow knock-knees and bowlegs? It is possible, if the conditions are not marked But if they are not outgrown before the age of six, they probably never will be.

Whitman lists three types of treatment: the expectant, the mechanical and the operative. The expectant treatment includes proper diet and medication, proper postures, general massage, exercises and manipulation. The manipulation consists of forcible correction of the condition, ten minutes at a time, at least twice a day. Tho correction should not be to the point of actual pain. The mechanical treatment consists of properly fitted braces; and the operative treatment is as its name indicates an operation in which the bones are put into correct shape.

The length of treatment by the braces depends upon the extent of the deformity. It may require from six months to one year. If yours is a real deformity, you will be content to have that done, wont yon? One year of your life now devoted to this correction may save you the unhappiness R. is experiencing and the operation. Im not sure, of Will you please advise me what you think about an operation for bowlegs? I am 23 years old and am very bowlegced.

Needless to say, this defect makes me feel very miserable and very self-conscious all the time. I do not go out, and I do not have any boy friends this is not sur-1 rising, for I certainly do not blame a fellow for not wanting to go out with a girl with legs l.ke mine. Are operations for bow-less successful? I dont know when I could undergo one. but some day I mean to, and am saving as much money as possible toward that end. i I do hope I have not bored you with my troubles.

R. Dear E. and Yes, there Is hope for both of you. For you, who are still growing, braces i which are properly fitted, and corrective exercises may answer (Ira not sure), and for you, who have stopped growing, an operation. Bowlegs and knock-knees are the most common deformities or the lower legs.

Bowlegs are ably more common than the knock-knees. The cause for these conditions is anything which causes the bones to be unequal to the strain of tho body weight. They are most often brought about by rickets, a disease of early child- THE CAULDRON SINGERS of Pasadena, Assisted by CALMON UBOVISKI, Noted Russian Violinist In Concert at the, COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Monday Dec. 19 Direction of Frederick Vance Evans Reserved Seat Tickets at Community Playhouse Bov Office While these two banks, on Colorado street, are heartily supporting the Christmas Festival Monday vand Tuesday evenings, the banks will not be open.
