wEDo NOT SIT CORRECTLY.
Why So Many Americans Are
Dyspeptics.

Schools for physical culture are now
claiming that we as nation do not
know how to sit correctly. Americans,
they say, pay less attention to the ny
giene of attitude in sitting than do
other nations, and the consequence is
that we are degenerating into a nation
of dyspeptics.
In France and Germany school chill
dren get a regular course of instruction
as to the correct attitude to be adopted
in sitting, and in those countries stom.
ach troubles are far less prevalent
than in countries where no precautions
are taken to teach children to sit with
out relaxing themselves.
A relaxed position in sitting, it is
said, causes the stomach to be crowded
out of position. After while the mis-
placement becomes chronic. When the
stomach is prolapsed the food cannot
readily find it's way out of it, and be-
ing retained there longer than it should
be, undergoes fermentation, and putre,
faction processes set up whereby the
system is not only robbed of the nour-
ishment of the blood and repair of It's,
sues, but through the conversion of tbs
food into ptomaines and other poison
GUS substances. the whole body is con.
taminated.
On these grounds physicians Wild
teach physical culture assert that it is
not the ice water THAT we drink, nor
the soda water, nor the amount OF
smoking that men folk indulge in that
causes us to be a nation of dyspeptics,
but the bad postures that we adopt
when sitting. A correct attitude in sit,
ting requires proper hight and width of
seat, a desk or table Of the proper
hight when desk work is required, and
a proportionate amount of care upon
the part OF pupil to sit upon his seat in
q. proper position. The hight of this
chair YOU sit in while writing and thai
Of the desk you write at are matters
of the greatest Importance. The seat
of the chair should be exactly one-quar-
ter of your hight from the floor. Thus,
if you are five feet high the chair
should be fifteen inches. The width of
the seat should exactly equal it's hight
and it should slope backward three
quarters of an inch to. the foot. This
back should be trifle higher than the
seat and sloped slightly, but not too
much. Finally, your desk should be
two-thirds as high again as the seat OF
your chair. Thus. if your seat is eight
cen inches, the desk should be thirty
inches in hight
The relation of the person to the seat
should be such that while the hips and
shoulders touch the back of the seat
the other portions Of the back remain
clear. The center of the back cannot
touch the back Of the seat without re-

INDEX TO CHARACTER.
Shape Of the Nose Shows a Per-
sons Disposition.

"a good handle to the face was the
description an old grandfather gave of
new baby whose nose was thought
to be rather large for such mite of
humanity. But. as that feature is
1.-The signpost that points to the char
acter," and as the. character Is said
to be strong in proportion as the nose
is large, the young mother was COM
,forted when she looked upon what had
seemed to her the abnormally large
protuberance on her baby's face.
To the student of physiognomy the
strength and force of the face are
marked by the nose. A small, weak
chin may be offset by a good nose or
broad brow. Few men of note have
ever been the possessors of small noses,
and ethnologists point out the fact that
in proportion as noses lengthen the
mental development of a people in
creases.
Roman noses and their varieties
have been the shape most often found
in leaders of nations, warriors and
statesmen, and of literary men, espe-
cially scientists The literary class is,
however, more often found to possess
noses. of the Greek purity of outline,
showing inclination and adaptation for
the arts and the love of peace, of re-
f1nement and of beauty in all things.
To women, artists from time imme-
mortal have given delicate noses, usu-
ally of the pure Greek shape, but
strengthened by the brow and chin.
No Madonna or goddess was ever yet
painted or carved with a retrousse
nose. The woman possessing such a
nose may be clever, witty, proud, am
bilious; but she is apt to be treach-
erous, cold and vain. Other charac-
teristics of feature may counterbal-
ance the effect of her nose, but. the
''tip tilted feature that writers of
literature are SO fond of bestowing
upon their irresistible heroines is not
to be desired. Nor are the sharp. In
q,lisitive noses any more admirable.
To one who wishes to be known as
strong character, the irregular, strong.
nose need not be considered a misfor-
tune, and to such a one the small snub
nose is decidedly undesirable.
s'But what is one to do If ones nose.
is an unfortunate shape?" queries the
girl who would be all things that are,
lovely. How can make my nose
fit the strength. of character would
acquired" Some other feature Will
