If
you
wish
to
ascertain
more
exactly
whether
or
not
your
breathing
is
entirely
satisfactory,
stand
up,
take
a
deep
breath,
and
observe
not
only
the
expansion
in
the
region
of
the
stomach
and
abdomen
but
also
at
the
sides
and
in
the
back.
If
you
place
the
palms
of
your
hands
upon
the
lower
ribs
in
the
back,
just
above
the
waist
line,
you
should
feel
the
expansion
of
the
body
in
this
part
pressing
upward
through
the
action
of
the
diaphragm
as
a
deep
breath
is
inhaled.
Also
by
pressing
the
hands
upon
the
lower
ribs
at
the
sides,
just
above
the
waist
line,
you
will
feel
the
lateral
expansion
in
this
region
at
the
same
time
that
the
expansion
is
noted
in
the
front
of
the
body.
You
will
therefore
realize
that
there
should
be
an
expansion
of
the
lower
ribs
at
the
back
and
at
the
sides
along
with
the
expansion
in
the
region
of
the
stomach
and
abdomen.
Of
course,
when
a
very
full
breath
is
taken
there
will
also
be
an
expansion
of
the
chest
following
the
filling
up
of
the
lower
part
of
the
lungs.
CHAPTER
IX:
Outdoor
Life
Civilized
man
is
an
indoor
animal.
We
no
longer
live
in
tree-tops
nor
even
in
caves,
but
in
houses,
and
a
great
many
of
us
spend
the
larger
part
of
every
year
in
close,
ill-ventilated,
overheated
rooms.
From
a
health
viewpoint
the
cave-dweller
would
no
doubt
have
the
advantage
over
the
average
American
who
follows
a
sedentary
occupation.
The
steam-heated
apartments
of
our
great
cities
are
thoroughly
aired
only
on
rare
intervals,
and
consequently
those
who
reside
therein
often
dry
up
in
mind,
soul
and
body
along
with
the
furniture.
