Beauties Hints
Bad Posture Can
Be firing Even
While You Sleep
By ALICIA HART

Poor posture is often the cause
Of fatigue, and this is especial
ly true Of those who sit while
doing their work.
If you spend long hours at a
work table or desk, without many
opportunities to get up and move
around, it is important to you to
learn the proper way to sit.
First, Of course, your chair must
be right. One which supports the
small of the back where fatigue
hits first. And, too, there should
be plenty of knee room under the
work bench or desk.
Sit well back in the chair at all
times, back erect but not stiff, so
that your shoulders and arms will
be free to move comfortably and
keep both feet on the floor. If,
you're tempted to slump and cross
your legs, just remember that it
will crowd the abdominal organs,
retard circulation, impede respira-
tion-in short, make you dog tired
long before the work day is done.
Good standing posture is easy.
Keep your head high and chin in,
your shoulders back, chest up and
forward, abdomen drawn up and
in, and hips tucked under. Sounds
like quite lot to remember, but
after a week of concentration on
these points it becomes a habit.
And, odd as it may sound, you
can tire yourself out while Sleep
ing, if your bed has sagging
springs or a poor mattress. The
best type Of bed is one with box
springs or innerspring mattress
which will give equal support to
all parts of the body.
