Show HEALTH TIP WORTH HEEDING Always Hold the Head High, Is Advica Given by William Muldoon of World Fame. j In a letter to Hubert Orimh;tw of ' the New Vnrk university, Villi:im Mul-rtnnn, Mul-rtnnn, who rjmks its one of the foremost fore-most remnkers of physically brnkeii-l brnkeii-l down men, pves advice Unit il would I be well for every man and woman, boy i and girl in America to take lo heart, according to Commerce and Finance. He says : "I was tauidtt in early manhood not I to ihrnw my .shoulders back, stick my chest out, draw my stomach in, or hold my chin down like a gout preparing to butt, but to always try and touch some imaginary things with the crown of my head. If one tries to do that first understands how to try and then tries he doesn't have to pay any attention to the rest of his physical being; that effort to touch something above him, not with his forehead, but with the crown of his head, will keep every particle of Ins body in the position that nature intended it should be. And as a boy I was advised to frequently back ui) against the wall and make the back of my head, my shoulders, hips, heels, all press against the wall at the same time; and in that way get an idea of what was straight, or, in other words, how crooked I was becoming be-coming by drooping." Both to young and old Mr. Mul-doon's Mul-doon's "hold-your-head-up" suggestion is inspiring. Try it. The effect physically physic-ally and mentally is immediate. When the head goes higher the impulse is to deeper breathing. A man finds more elasticity in Ills limbs. He steps out with more ease. There is more spring to his gait. He isn't a lumbering, shambling sham-bling creature, hut. a man alive. With the elevation of the crown of the head there seems to come clearer thinking, a more buoyant feeling and a brighter outlook. |
