In answer to Mr. llery I would say that If he feels like a new man he needn'r worry about his weight. The fact that he Is enjoying such fitie physical health, and feels so much better than he used to. proves that he was carrying an excess of weight that was not good for him. As for getting a job with me when I retire, that day looks a Jong way off just now and 1 can make no promises prom-ises at. this time. A lot of things can happen between now and then. 'Who knows, I might be hit by an automobile auto-mobile some day and be retired In pile of myself. I'll say one thing though, and that is If I ever do need a sensible man he will probably be like Mr. Ulery. But to get back to work. I first, call the attention of the ladies to-day to the picture of the girl at the top of the page. You notice of course that bhe is looking over her shoulder in an aimless sort of way. In reality she Is Illustrating an exercise for Keeping the neck full and round, that is very valuable.

Sit on tl'.e floor with your liai-ds behind 'ur l ead as I am lining. I'irst lean f. -ard and liien backward until you are lying flnt on the floor on your b.uk. Then raise outrelf and begin all over again. This lesson is for reducing the abdomen ab-domen and ptreug'benlng the neck. Let me call your attention to the litt'e boy with the buok ou his head. He looks fooli.,h, do'-ni't he. but if every little boy in the land was taught to practise this exercise their would be fewer cases of spinal trouble. It Is an exercise, too. for grown-ups. Take a hook, place It on your head and ho)d I: there for as long as you like. Iin.c.isc the weight of the book each week until ou are ab!e to carry a fairly heavy-load heavy-load in that way. There is no other neck exercise that I know of that is more beneficial lor that part of the body. At the top of the page I am attempting at-tempting to illustrate another neck exercise that will work wonders if persisted In. It consists In moving the head around in a circular way. jus; as if you were trying to write the letter "O" with your forehead. This loosens the neck ligaments and pr.-vents t!i neck lrotu becotir:;;.; drawn and stringy. There, now, I think I have given you ail the neck exercises you will need and I hope I have satisfied the readers who were so anxious for me to write on this subject. Next Sunday Jess Willard will return re-turn to general exercises that can be practised in your room without the aid of apparatus. Any boy or girl, or man or woman, who is unable to attend a gymnasium to have an athletic instructor will find this article arti-cle of the greatest value. Answers to Yiilard Readers ('. It. CAMP, Atlanta, Ga. My dear boy, you are doing very well and building yourself up In the right way to become a strong, vigorous, healthy man. Your weight is not as-much as-much as it could be, but boys of your age which is the growing age often stay very slim till they get a couple of years older. At any rate, If you feid all right you are all right and your weight is nothing to worry about. 1 do not tliini you take loo much exercise. In lad I ihink you have figured out a very good schedule. sched-ule. Your bag punching device ls very clever and ought to work as well h k any. I am glad to hear you are Interested In boxing. It is a wonderful wonder-ful exercise. IJun't get any idea of prize lighting into your head for that would be very foolish, and spoil a career that might otherwi:e be successful. Yes, you are practising the arm development lesson all right. W hy don't you vary it by placing your feet ou a chair, keeping your hands on the floor as you do in tho other exorcise. This wiil put more weight on your arms and cause them to develop rapidly. Let luc hear from you again. P. W. MONRO!-:. Raleigh. N.
