WAY of beauty alone that posture is important. With good posture, the
organs are in their best position for normal functioning. With poor
_Q posture, many parts of the body are not in the best positions. The
  head is held forward (see hgure l, C and D), the chest sunken, the
` shoulder blades prominent, the abdomen relaxed and the back
curves exaggerated ("sway back"). Inside the body the important
organs are also out of line and tend to sag. Study figures showing
good and poor posture.
` CARE OF THE TEETH
What your teeth should do for you. VVhat you should do for your teeth.
Chew your food Build them well
Help you speak clearly Keep them clean
Improve your appearance Give them exercise
Keep them in repair
Avoid abuse, such as cracking nuts and biting thread.
Building Teeth. The teeth are built of the foods we eat. lt is
important that we eat plenty of the best tooth—building foods during
) the early years of our lives. The main food elements necessary for
the development of healthy teeth are the minerals, calcium and
· phosphorus, and the vitamins. In general we may say that these
elements may be had by including in the daily diet a quart of milk,
fruit, leafy and yellow vegetables, whole grain, bread and cereals,
eggs and, in winter, cod liver oil.
Giving Teeth Exercise. By chewing coarse foods such as apples,
celery and raw vegetables, we exercise the jaws and gums so that
— ) the teeth are better supplied with blood. This aids in keeping the
T teeth healthy and strong, and also in keeping them clean.
Keeping Teeth Clean. There are several approved methods of
brushing the teeth. A simple one uses the sweeping stroke, brush»
ing down on the upper teeth and up on the lower teeth. Brush the
teeth the way they grow. uppers down, lowers up. Every tooth has
live sides to be cleaned, the inside, the outside, the top or chewing
T side, and the sides between each two teeth.
Begin by placing the bristles of the brush flat against the gums.
Sweep towards the chewing surfaces using about forty strokes, mov-
ing after each eight or ten strokes, until all surfaces touching cheeks
and tongue are brushed. In this way, brush the outside surfaces of
the upper teeth, then inside surfaces. Repeat on outside surfaces of
lower teeth, then inside surfaces. Brush the chewing surfaces of
both upper and lower teeth. Brush the roof of the mouth and the
