Do YOU SIT DOWN PROPERLY
Sometimes That Is a Little Mistake
in Daily Existence That Tends
to Shorten Life.

1t IS said that there is a right and q
wrong way of doing everything.
Yet how many of US realize that
there Is right and wrong way of
sitting down, climbing stairs and so
on? asks a London Tit-Bits writer.
Sitting down on char seems so
easy that it is impossible 10 do it the
wrong way, but a specialist, lecturing
recently, pointed out that the habit
many people have of sitting on the
edge Of a chair is very injurious. A
certain nerve is sat upon, and the re-
suit is sciatica, caused through the
nerve being injured.
Walking up stairs is another thing
that nine out of every ten people do
the wrong way. The usual method
is to place the ball Of the foot on the
stairs and then take the whole weight
of the body on the part of the foot,
the heel never being placed on the
ground until the top is reached. The
right way, however, is TO place the
whole of the foot on each stair. If
this is done, there will not be so much
fatigue when the top is reached.
The habit of boiling eggs and bacon,
coffee and other things, and then run
ming for a train or bus, Is fatal to
the digestive system. The food is not
properly masticated, and the whole
body Is disOrganized by the wild rush
for the train.
How many people drink a gallon Of
water a day? This is the amount that
should be taken If one wishes to re-
tain good health.
Many people 90 wrong in cleaning
their teeth. The habit of merely wash
ing the outside Of the teeth IS wrong.
The back and top Of the teeth need
just as much attention. Decay sets In
as easily at the back and on the top
of the teeth as anywhere else. Re
member also that the top of the teeth
is the part that comes in actual con-
tact with food.
Standing does not appear to be
tice people standing in a railway sta
ton. Notice the men, with their
hands buried in their pockets, backs
bent, and heads dropping forward; and
the women with their feet at extra
ordinary angles, and so on.
The body, when one is standing,
should be balanced equally on the two
feet, which should be turned out
The whole body should be
held upright, including the head.
Talking to n doctor, the writer asked
him what effect doing such things in
the wrong way would have on the
life Of an ordinary healthy person.
He replied that it was difficult to
generalize, but that doing something In
the wrong way daily might lessen life
by fifteen years or more.
