Sitting Cross Legged.

Ihe next time you ride in a street
car notice the number of people who
SIT cross legged. 1t has been estimated
that four-fifths Of them do. Probably
you do. A prominent London physician
has Investigated the habit, and his adj
vice Is. Don't sit cross legged" He
states that the prime objection to the
habit Is that the return flow of blood
Is stopped at the knee. the result being
that the veins In the leg swell up. As
all OF the weight Is thrown to one side
or the body under the leg. 1t is likely
TO go to sleep. The body should be
equally balanced. Much crossing OF the
legs Is also dangerous In that 1t Is like
~ TO cause l~opsidedness. The limbs
be allowed to rest easily. so that
the flow Of blood is natural and the
body equally balanced.-American Boy.

"Portside" Golfers.

Those who figure out the why's and
wherefores in golf declare that the per-
centage of left handed golfers is three
to every hundred. Although it is claim
ed by some that a left handed golfer
can attain just as fine a degree of pro-
ficieney as,the right handed player, 1T
seems strange that there has V
been q really great left handed golfer.
None has ever won a national cham
pionship. 1t is conservative to believe
in the long years of the sport that n
of the tribe of southpaws should have
arrived ere this in the first ranks.
Many a good golfer cal be found
