A-Never be satisfied with the word
"catarrh." II is no diagnosis. 1t Is ex-
pressed In great many cases to cover
the lack of diligence in searching for the
real cause of the trouble. Often ex-
animation OF the nose and throat by a

fiected bones. humorous growths ads-
noids. infected tonsils and other things
which a slight operation will correct.

Hold Yourself Erect.

One of the preventable causes OF big
hips is the feminine habit Of sinking
in chair To do away with the prob
ability of this bulge around the human
equator. women who sit and work at
desk. typewriter or table should not
sag down or settle too completely in
their places.
Hold yourself erect. Have your torso
to the line. Even though your corsets
are properly loose. hold the abdomen
and back-wall muscles in the correct
position. 1t is too complete relaxation
of the upper structures with their con-
sequent weight upon the hips that goes
far toward the latters enlargement
Whenever too many muscles Of your
anatomy remain faced and relaxed over
too continuous a period-say. several
hours-or too often. both the balance Of
the other structures and the lack of
tension in the muscles causes fat to ac-
cumuIate. Such an aggregation of adj
pose tissue Is apt to settle the hips.
