Lots OF people think that slumping
in a chair means relaxing, but It quite
often IS merely a sign of laziness. and
I have seen women sit for hours with
the spine nearly telescoped. 1t is
very bad habit. besides being ungrace-
ful, for there is a continual strain on
one side of the spinal column which
gives rise to nervous affections and
brain trouble. The habit should be dis
couraged in children as much as pos
sible. as It causes the young figure TO
grow crooked and leads to I'll health in
future years. The right way to sit is
to allow the lower part OF the spine to
rest against the chair back. You can
then rise quite easily by planting the
feet firmly on the ground and bending
the body slightly forward.
To really relaT Is a different PROPOSE
tion. For this one should go into a
dark. quiet room. find comfortable

and allow brain. muscles and nerves to
rest. Don't clinch the ha.ds. but raise
the arm and let it drop lifeless. Relax
the backbone inch by inch and let the
muscles OF the neck relax until the
head droops. Allow the lower jaw to
sag and keep your mind a blank. II is
not a pretty picture. but you will be
surprised at the results. for 1t is won
