DO YOU SIT DOWN PROPERLY
Sometimes That Is Little Mistake
In Daily Existence That Tends
to Shorten Life.


1t is said that there is a right and
wrong way of doing everything.
Yet how many of us realize that
there is a right and a wrong way Of
sitting down, climbing stairs and so
on? asks a London Tit-Bits writer.
Sitting down on a char seems so
easy that it is impossible to 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 gallon Of
water a day? This is the amount that
should be taken if one wishes to re-
tain good health.
Many people go 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 q
particularly difficult operation, but no
tice people standing in 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
slightly. The whC body should be
held upright, including the head.
Talking to a doctor, the writer asked
him what effect doing such things II
the wrong way would have on the
life of an ordinary healthy person
He replied that it was difficult tt
generaIize, but that doing something II
the wrong way daily might lessen lif'
by fifteen years or more.

mainly chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr..

A morbid, unreal, whimsical and
melancholy condition of the mind,
aside from the nervous physical suffer-
ing, is the usual state of the average
dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely
worth living.
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was
designed especially for overcoming
this distressing condition and millions
of people have taken it with the most
astonishing and gratifying results. It
seems to go straight to the spot, toning

A story of drifting mine which
came ashore on the Durham coast
some time ago, and gave rise to an
amusing incident, which might have
easily resulted in a tragedy, is told by
the London Morning Post.
"One Saturday afternoon the mine
sweeping division at the admiralty re-
ceived a long-distance telephone call
from the local Durham police, who
stated that a mine had been washed
ashore, but that before they or the
coast guard could warn people off, a
miner-who had lunched well-had
clambered on top of it and gone to
sleep. What were they to do? They
were given strict injunctiOns not to
attempt to arouse the man, because in
waking up suddenly he might break
one of the horns, with disastrous re-
suits to himself and others. Two hours
later the police, in a very relieved
voice, reported that the man had awak-
ened of his own accord and had slid
off the mine into safety"

l think-perhaps-th I could have
shot it. But I'm not going to kill does.
There must be some reason for the
game laws, or they wouldn't exist"
you're a funny one. Come three
thousand miles to hunt and then pass
up the first deer you see. You could
almost have been your grandfather,
to have done that. He thought killing
deer needlessly was almost as bad as
killing a man. They are beautiful
things, aren't theyY
Dan answered him with startling
emphasis. But the look that he wore
said more than his words.
They trudged on, and Lennox grew
thoughtful. He was recalling the pic
ture that he had seen when he had
whirled to look OK Dan, Immediately
after the deer had leaped from its
bed. 1t puzzled him little. He had
turned to find the younger man in a
perfect posture to shoot, his feet
placed in exactly the position that
years of experience had taught Len
nox was correct; and withal, absolute
" motionless. What many hunters
take years to learn, Dan had seemed
to know by instinct Could it be, after
all, that this slender weakling, even
now bowed down with a terrible
malady, had inherited the true from
tiersman's instincts of his ancestors7
The result of this thought was at
| least IN hover in the near vicinity of
a certain conclusion. That conclusion
was that at least few of the char
acteristics of his grandfather had
been passed down to Dan. 1t meant
that possibly. If time remained, he
would not turn out such a weakling
j after all. OF course his courage, his
nerve, had yet to be tested; but the
fact remained that long generations
of frontiersmen ancestors had left this

just opened, and it might be that Dan
would want to procure one of these
creatures.
But I'm not sure I want to hunt
deer" Dan told him. "You speak of
them as being so beautiful"
"They are beautiful and your
grandfather would never hunt them,
either, except for meat. But maybe
you'll change your mind when you see
a buck. Besides, we might run into a
lynx or panther. But not very like
ly, without dogs"
They trudged up, over the carpet of
pine needles. They fought their way
through a thicket of buckbrush. Once
they saw the gray squirrels in the tree
tops. And before Lennox had as much
as supposed they were near the haunts
Of big game, a yearling doe sprang up
from its bed in the thickets.
For an instant she stood motionless,
presenting a perfect target. 1t was
evident that she had heard the sound
of the approaching hunters, but had
not as yet located or identified them
with her near-sighted eyes. Lennoz
whirled to find Dan standing very
still, peering along the barrel of his
rifle. But he didn't shoot. The deer
seeing Lennox move, leaped into hel

is one of the fastest gaits in the whole

ArtiflolaI PRECIOUS Stones.

Gemstones owing their attractive
ness to art are not now mere imita-
tions, but the actual stones are pro
duced artifcially, as in the case OF
rubies and sapphires In other in
stances, natural minerals are improved
artifcially. An important industry
exists in the artificial cOloring of the
semi-precious agate, and giving new
colors to other stones has been at
tempted. At the Reno station of the
United States bureau of mines, ra'
dunn has been used to obtain more
valuable tint. A cOlorless Colorado
topaz has been given a pleasant vel
low, and, while this has not proven
permanent when exposed to light, ex
periments are being continued witt
the hope that light-proof shades may
be eventually produced.

on a park bench, wondering where
he should spend those six months.
Memories of his grandfather and a

a famous frontiersman. He makes
his home with Silas LennoX, typ

members of the household are
Lennox's son, "Bin," and daugh-

CURFEW LAWS FOR
STEELE AND WISELL
Youthful Burglars Fined With
Prison Threat

In answer to ten charges of petty
larceny Robert Steele, son of Mr.. and
Mrs George Steele and Edison c. Wis
ell, son of Mr. and Mrs Emery E.
Wisell pleaded guilty in Municipal
Court Saturday morning. The former
was fined 500 and costs of $6S and his
companion 5000 with similar costs. The
difference in the penalty was said to
be on account of the readiness with
which Steele acknowledged his guilt
while his companion denied his COM
plicity until the time of trial.
The indictments were brought by
Charles Severance for the loss of cat
and wood working tools, James Cart
nell and by several college girls for
jewelry and cloting thefts from their
dormitories during the Christmas va
cation. All the booty was returned.
A sentence of from two to four years
in the House of Correction was also
given the young men but was suspend
ed on condition that they would break
up their friendship and keep curfew
hours. Neither must be seen by the
probation officer on the streets after 10
