an experienced traveller, lis quite I'M
necessary and comes from an uncon-
scious effort 10 carry the train instead
of letting the train carry us. This is
in resisting the motion instead of re-
laxing and yielding to it. In q rail
road car one should always rest the
feet on the rail of the seat in front, If
such is provided. as to keep the feet
off the floor lessons the vibration that
is conveyed to the body and sprevents
just that much strain. In a Pullman,
where foot rests are not usually pro-
vided, bag will do as well for a
footstool If nothing else Is. to be had.
The body, while you are sitting In
car, should be as completely relaxed
as possible. Until one attempts this
relaxation on railroad car 1t Is not
noticed how tense Is the effort to re-
sist the motion, all Of which Is in di-
rect accordance with modern physical
culture. which has discovered that
true repose goes further than mere
uonaction."
