POSTON. “He's no slouch.” could be said of a man, Nothing better or of a woman than to say, “She’s no slouch.” Correctly translated, it simply means that particular person possesses none of the weak, negative. unmanly or unwomanly qualities or traits of char- acter almost invariably co-existant with the “slouch,” or the caving-in of the chest. Look at the real ‘*'chesty” chap. Why is he *chesty”? Because he is pretty full (maybe too full, some- times) of self-assurance, self-confl- dence, and varying degrees of self- respect. Anyway, he's keen and alert, full of pep and snup, and usually| “on the job.” He commands the ad- miration and respect of others (often inciting their envy) and more fre- quently “delivers the goods” than does the “slouch. Whoever saw a “chesty” tramp, weakling. or degenerate? There are none. It doesn't work that way. That class -of humanity, or near-humanity, has Cither lost or has never Known self-reapect, self-reiiance and self- jcontrol.” Thereiore they are our finest examples of the popular and ever-increasing _“slouch” habit or fad. The “slouch” works bolh way: If you are “down and out” mentally. | morally, financially socially you soon get the ph: body and become a just plain psycholog: On the other hand, “slouch.” 1 f you are strong lert and keen of | I and vital of will, mind, and sound of body you will naturally posse: those priceless qualities of self-respect, self-relinnce and self-control. In turn, you will instinctively express these qualities in an erect carriage of the body. You just can't help it. And such ' posture actually generates and lib- erates these qualities of soul, Will | and mind. To “slouch” to the is_to cxpres world your general weakness: your negative qualities and tendencles; to admit openly that the best elements { that go to make a real man or woman are on the wane; that success in l?vel' is fas | business and life generally i slipping from you, and that just one of the many human i Naturally, others accept you ‘uwn openly admitted valuat A well poised, well carried body tells the world of your positive and constructive nature; commands miration, attention ‘and rispect, and | expresses a real purpose in life It truly indicates your su 83 in love. achievements in businéss, and jov Hliving. It electrifies and causes others to extend to you just that desree of confidence and respect Wwhich you have in_yourself. Therefore, why be a slouch? ouchy” Women. What'd become of the “bust” for- merly apparent in all normal wom- en? A false sense of the fitness of things and a queer kind of false modesty have almost banished it. 1t is now cherighed (and nourished) only by the overstout, the elderly and the few remaining sensible wom- en who have not surrendered to that inane and destructive fad, “the de- butante slouch.” Evidently the “slouch” is assumed to carry a kind of smartness ex-| pressive of the “slouchy” times in| which we live. going hand in hand { with bootleg liquor, extreme jazzing | and excessive cigarette smoking. It | is also the “vampish” pose truly ex- hibiting the state of body. of mind and_of morals of the sensuous or i would-be sensuous type. It suggests the languid, listless, lifeless, aimless (and may be say brainless) woman who wholly depends upon her body to attract. ‘Woman's first call upon man is for respect. By cawing in her chest, drooping her head and protruding her abdomen automatically she shuts off connection with the sources of respect within herself and on the part of man. She actually lowers her own valuation of herself, and man accepts her at her own appraised { worth, such as it is. ‘Which is more attractive, more | desirable. more lovabie in any wom- an (excepting. of course, the woman | whose sole purpose in life is to play the ‘“vamp"), the slovenly “slouch.” expressive of physical weakness, low- ered mental and moral tone and the conscious sensual appeal, or the noble {and royal carriage and poise of body. | radiating strength of will and moral stamina, expressing beauty and health of body and boldly proclaiming respect, reliance and control in all relations with self. Who would hesitate to choose? The Crooked Tree. A bent sapling grows into a crook- | ed and ugly tree. Likewise, a bent | child becomes physically diseased, crooked in body and weakened in mind even before reaching manhood or womanhood. Going through the growing-vears “out of plumb” physi- i cally frequently creates correspond- ling lack of equilibrium, of balance. | of poise on the mental and moral iplanes of childhood and of later life. ! Children instinctively are T | | i | | i rildre kL “copy i cats.” So is all humanity. How else could we learn? Therefore, when they witness the flattened )chesls of father and mother; the silly | I slouch of older sister, and the droop. ling ‘shoulders and knife-blade chest! of big brother, what can you expect of them but to emulate the spineless ! examples thus set? Physical habits are but reflexes | from established records in the mind, | They are largely automatic actions arising out of a thing or of things, oft repeated. Therefore, the early ! jacts of children should be caréfully { guided and correctly established. So, from childhood are we each moment steadily and consciously, through the carriage of the body, building the | mighty oak of rugged physical and | | metal worth, or nursing and coddling | the drooping weeping-willow of a | ! bent and diseased body and impover- | {ished and miserable state of being. 1 { _Some say “You can't teach an old dog new tricks.” To be sure, it is hard. But why wait till your chil-| dren become *old_dogs”? ~Why not | { catch. them long before the “snuggle | Ppuppy” stags now .so universally ex- pressed in the millions of young near male and female “flappers” who, through strange processes of evolu- tion and of civilization, have evolved from our former steady and wholesome boys and girls? This is a timely tip, and a serious | jone, as to your children. Af you will | tell them simply and plainly of the 3dlsulrous cffects upon the body and upon the mind and morals of this inane and destructive habit now so vriversally prevalent, and yourself jset the example, a great forward step will have been taken along preventive | and constructive lines, with ever-in- i creasing good to' the race reaching far into unending time. Actual Physical Effects. Dropping of the chest is the di- rect cause of a multitude of diseases and disorders of the body. Among other things, it cramps and weakens heart and lungs through compressfon | by the chest walls upgn these most] vital of all organs. The circulation of blood and intake of oxygen (the breath of life) are correspondingly reduced. This, in turn, affects every cell and atom in the body, and, aside from improverishing the body as a whole, causes the accumulation throughout blood and tissues of body ‘waste, poisons and gases. This con- dition of body forms one of the three really fundamental causes of diseases. “Prolapsis” is another result of this current fad and spineless habit—that is, to say, the dropping of the chest creates a sagging of the abdominal muscles and walled structure, which in turn causes the various vital or- gans in the abdominal area, espe- cially the intestines, to be lowered out of position with little to sustain and support them. Endless trouble results from body machinery so dis—l Placed, so disorganized, so mistreated. 8pinal curvature, as well as many| TR AT physical” deformities, i3 another re- ward for this self-coddling. Sup- posed rheumatism and sciatica, writ- er's cramp, low vitality and various Spinal troubles are definite results from this fundamental cause of so many human miseries—the “slouch.” There are many other effects, but spuce forbids their listing. Corrective and Preventive Menjures. A full chest and straight spine are as essential when seated and standing as when walking. Correct posture is very simple and easily accomplished. First, see how tall you can be by stretching your neck upward as far as possible, keeping the head straight and chin even. Then pull up the chest walls as high as you ean while drawing in the abdomen. Either for- get the shoulders or square them slightly forward. The old command, “Throw your shoulders back!" is all FREE With every purchase of set of Beautifully Deco- rated Dinnerware. [ [T [ $100 or more, a 42-piece wrong. It's the chést that needs to be up.
