ABOUT BELTS.
Tight-lacing, a word that is rarely heard to-day, was the cause of extensive damage to important organs like the liver. It is a mistake for a small boy to wear a belt to keep up his trousers, as his figure is riot developed sufficiently, and the belt has often to be pulled in tightly to its last hole. You can go into any public park and see for yourself—the ballooning shirt, the wasp-like waist and the trousers usually with a gap between where they have slipped below the belt. This constriction displaces the abdominal organs and interferes with their ordinary functions. Braces or trousers buttoned to a bodice are healthy substitutes for the belt at that ujje.
