STAND ERECT.

An cree. bodily attitude is Of
vastly more Importance to health
than most people imagine. Crooked
positions, if maintained for any
length of time, are always injurious,
whether 10 the sitting, standing or
lying posture, whether sleeping or
walking. To sit with the body
leaning forward on the stomach, or
to one side with the heels elevated
on q level with the head, 10 no. only
10 bad taste, but very detrimental to
health. II cramps the stomach,
presses the organs, interrupts the
free motions of the chest, and en-
feebles the functions of the thorAcic
and abdominal organs, aud in fact
unbalances the whole muscular sys>
tenn. Many children become slight
ly humpbacked, and severely round
shouldered by sleeping with the
head raised on high pillow When
any person finds it is easier to sit or
work or sleep 10 q crooked position
than a straight one, such a person
may be sure bis muscular system is
badly deranged, and the more care,
full he is to preserve a straight OF
upright position again the better.

but it often happens that the editor
has no means Of knowing that the
