 ward. But on the upper part sits the spine, which is thus thrown completely off it's balance, so that we develop crooked spines."
 Dr. Francesca X. Sauchelli, New York physician and frequent contrbu- tor to medical publications, carries this theory a bit further and says that the savage squatting on his launches shows us the natural and healthful position that man was intended to take when not standing erect or lying down.
 Strange as it may seem," says the doctor, "what we look upon as stiff and uncomfortable positions are really the most healthful and comfortable after one has acquired the habit of sitting so that his body can function as it should. And what we consider the most con- fortable furniture is actually the worst furniture that could be put into our homes, for soft-bottomed chairs and deeply cushioned divans allow our bodies to slump and so twist our bony frame works and throw our delicate internal organs dangerously out of place.
 "Hard-surfaced chairs and beds that would support the body instead of let ting it sink into downy softness would be much more conducive to well-being and, after we got used to them, would be found much more comfortable than the chairs and beds now used in almost every American home"
 Dr. Sauchelli admits the folly of try ing to induce people to adopt the squat" of the aborigines in order to dodge the danger of becoming cripples to lesser or greater degree, but he be- lievcs that the design of furniture should be changed so that we will not be en-

ture produced in this young wom. ans spine when she sits in this
 attitude
 stenographers are troubled with eye- strain and backache because they so often work at desks that are too high OF too low, and sit in chairs that are not suited to natural posture.
 Dentists and barbers are, almost in- variably, ridden by stomach trouble, and Dr. Sauchelli says the cause is very easy to trace. These men stand at their work and are continually bending over their patrons. This day-in-and -day-out twist ing of the spine throws the vertebrae out of line and squeezes some of them to- gether so that delicate nerves controlling the process of digestion are pinched and cannot do their work.
 Clerical workers who sit on high stools to bend over account books are almost always round-shouldered, and in them the curvature of the spine tends to make them very nervous.
 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs as easv q. their work seems, are a sick lot ..- cordlng to Dr. Sauchelli, because thev slump ln their seats and because the vibration of the motor and the bumns of the road give their delicate nerve centers more of a shaking than nature intended them to get.
 The chorus girl is often nevoo. hlgh-strung and temperamental. not he. cause she indulges in the wild night life that ladies of the stage are supposed to have particular weakness for. hut ha- cause of the slouching, sliding walk she has to assume in her work. This throw. the body forward at the hips and force, the organs in the abdomen very much out of position. The result is ill-bealth
 A knowledge of the proper way to sit and stand-and constant application of this knowledge--can prevent or. from falling into crippling habit, and correct slight twists already started
 1t Is true, the doctors admit, that th. relaxation of the body in sleep and the frequent changes in position that wo take tend to offset the crippIine effect of bone-twisting attitudes, but they do not always entirely correct them.
 Sit day after day with crossed ,eos acquire the common habit of standi,, with most of your weight thrown on ma foot, or habitually do one of a hundred little things that are "comfortable" q, fashionable" and you are in fair way to join the ranks of the selfmadc cripples.

"The Auctioneer," the quaint, ap- )ealing story of the life of Simon levi, which put David Warfield mong the foremost dramatic actors when presented on hte New York stage by David Belasco, comes in picture form to the Liberty theatre Sunday.
 In adapting this play to the screen, Fox Films has kept to the spirit of he original, adding only those neces- sary touches to bring the story Up to date and to make it more intimate and appealing.
 Alfred E. Green, who directed the production lost no opportunity to bring in incidents that would strengthen the character of old Si- non Levi, the lovable auctioneer,
 
 nor did he fail to take advantage of every opportunity to make the pie ture more human and lifelike.
 George Sidney, well known for his delieation of Jewish characters, both on the stage and the screen. plays the title role Marion Nixon has been cast as Ruth Levi, his adopted daughter, and Doris Lloyd plays the part of his wife. Others in the cast are Ward Crane, Gareth Hughes, Sammy Cohen and William Austin.
