AMERICAN women
CROSS Legs TOO much
The Practice Makes Them Ner-
vOuS-- Women of other COun-
tries Set Erect.

Dr. Josef Garzourka, OF Buda-Peseth
says American women cross their legs
too much. The practice makes them
nervous, he declares, and generally I'M
dermines their health. Dr.. Garzourka
is touring the world in the interest of
science and reached Philadelphia at
ter a weeks stay in New York.
Imagine" says he, sitting in a
cross her legs in such a manner that
one4 of the limbs is displayed sometime
TO the knee. In no country on the
continent can woman be seen sitting
in public with their legs crossed. To
me it is astonishing. | have observed
it in New York, and in Philadelphia
it is also the custom. | am given
to understand it is so all over Ameri-
ca. No wonder your women are ner-
vous. Such positions as they assume
while sitting are TO my mind, suffi-
cient cause to undermine their nerves
and health.
I'm Hungary the women sit up
straight and erect. They do not lean
against things. They do not like rock
ing chairs. The American woman seem
to like nothin but easy looming
chairs"
DR.. Alice NJ. Seabrook, of the Wo-
mans Hospital of Philadelphia, was

can come over here and make such
violent criticism of us which is true"
she said. eve all cross our legs. It
is comfortable, and we don't stop to
consider the injury that it works nor
the appearance we make. Crossing
the legs works injury in some cases,
but | think the ungracefulness of the
pose makes the practice more to be
condemned than the fact that il works
physical injury.
In past generations in this country
the women sat as straight on their
chairs as the doctor says the women
of Austria do now. | personally re-

Premature burial.

Statistics have been prepared to show
that In Europe out of every 100 sup.
posed deaths one person is resuscitat.
cd. Although members OF the medical
profession refuse 10 take any interest
in the matter, 1t is probably true, says
Suggestion, that many persons are
buried while In n state of suspended
animation. II Is stated that In the
cemetery just outside the town of Wei
mar there Is special provision made
against the danger of premature burial
from suspended animation. No bodies
are placed in the ground until they
have spent considerable time in re-
cciving vault In the fingers Of the
corpse are placed strings which COM
munlcate with an alarm. The least
movement win ring bell in an ad-
Joining chamber, whore n guardian Is

II is said that the provision arose from
the tradition that one of the princes OF

burial place, was buried alive.

CORN is NOT A PERFECT FOOD.

Oats ON the other hand contain one
part of ncsh-formiug material 90 six
