DO you SIT DOWN PROPERLY

1t is said that there Is a right and

ONT asks London Tit-Bits writer.
Sitting down on u char seems 90

recently, pointed out that the habit
many people have Of sitting on the
edge Of n 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 md then take the whole weight
Of the body on the part OF the foot.

ground until the top Is reached. The
right way. however. Is to place the
