SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Or. C. A. 4. Reed !

Ii As <Ae A@s ANSgNA
VoUR position in sleep or dur
ing repose has much do to-
with the relief Of your fatigue.
Rest OF the body means relaxa-
ton OF the body. If this comes
about naturally and automatic
ally, so much the better. II, how
ever. you have not the knack
OF dropping into relaxation yOE
should ana may cultivate 1T. Vol
UNFAIRLY induced relaxation is bet
ter than no relaxation. This
principle Is important IN botn thu
prevention and treatment of cer-
tain diseases in which constant
muscular tension tends to de-
{ formity Of the bones.
lit Isl, therefore, important to
remember that fhe positions of
the body OF both man and the
lower animals are classified into
tho position OF rest and the
position OF function
You will see the position of
''rest" IL you look at 4 hall full
OF people listening to a lecture.
You will find that certain posi-
tions are common to them all
They are all seated and their
arms are, for the most part, in a
position of rest. The upper arms
are close to the chest wall, the
elbows are fixed at about q. right
angle, the forearm is turned SO
that the palm OF the hands looks
downward, and the wrist and
fingers are slightly bent.
If they were asked to perform
some simple movement their arms
would at once change TO the posi-
ton OF function. The upper arm
would move slightly away from
the body. the elbow would be
more acutely bent and the wrist
would be turned slightly back on
the whole body is not at rest.
Only when lying down in sleep
can we get clear idea, of what
has become the human habit of
complete rest. Most adults sleep
on the side with the joints nearly
all bent. This, generally, is not
true of children, whose sleeping
position varies very much. Thus
we see the adult sleeping habit
takes some time to develop.
The dog has two resting posi-.
tions. BY his own fireside he
will assume a luxurious stretched
out abandon. In another house
he lies on his belly ready to as
sumo the position OF function on
the slightest sign of movement
by his master. The cat has more
or less the same ideas of rest as
the dog, but, seemingly, has
more suspicious nature. and so
does not assume the complete
resting position so often as the
dog. No more striking difference
could be conceived than between
the position of rest oe man and
the position of rest Of the canary.
