Is mdeed pleasing to get as many letters as 1 am getting from enthusiastic readers who have tried my exerc ses and found new health and Ufa In them Some of them have tried to practise all the exercises while others have used their best Judgment In pick lng out a few that they decided would be of the most benefit Few letters ask for advice which shows to me that my instructions are clear and under stood by a majority of my readers This is a big relief to my mind as many of the exercises are hard to explain and I dont set myself up to be a word artist as I. have heard some writers called We touch again to-day on simple exercises In the home that are mainly for arm shoulder and lung development and particularly for the girl or young man with round shoulders I have from time to time in my articles spoken a few words concerning the youth and young woman who get so in the habit of crouching over desk sewing machine or counter that No 1 Raise the arms and inhale deeply. they derelop a stoop of the shoulders that stays with them whether they are sitting or walking At meal tjmes they loll over the table lean on their elbows perhaps and fall into a way of resting themselves on their hands that Is not only slouchy looking but harmful Many cases of weak lungs and consumption could have been prevented if the exercises that I am going to describe to you had been taken up by sufferers from round shoulders Leaning over a counter or table cramps the lungs This means that your breathing power is not being used to its normal extent After a time this leads to a cough now and then The pough if your system is weak persists and be comes chronic It Is only a question of time until a complete breakdown comes and the sufferer has to go away to some health resort or die unless he awakenB In time to his danger md cures himself of the habit by physical ex erclse In the manner I will describe We will firm take my picture on the extreme left There is the r artlng posl Ion nalse the ds to the position I am showing you tak lng a deep breath at the same time Then No 2 Lower the arms and exhale, bringing the elbows forward.

I especially recommend this exercise for girls They are more liable to round shoulders than men because of various household duties that cause them to bend over There is nothing that will make a woman look old before her time quicker than the round shouldered stoop that so many of them get I have noticed that this Is often thecase ulth young married women. They seem to think that as soon as they are married they can slouch around and be as careless of their physique as they were careful when they were trying to look attractive to their beaux It is none of my business If a woman wants to do this because she cares nothing more for her looks after she has landed a husband but It Is ray bislness to tell her that she Is likely to ruin her health by so doing Now I apprer a e the fact that there are o san Is f glr b n factories and sweatshops who become so tlrpd during the latter part of the day that they feel as If they have to let go It is hard for them to conquer the desire to sprawl over sewing machine or table They feel perhaps as if they simply could not sit up straight That is where these exercises come in After you have made them a part of your daily practice you find that it is easier for you to sit up straight than it is to sprawl even though you may be very tired It is true that there are many young men and girls who seem to be born tired In fact so languid do they appear at all t mes that their friends put them down as naturally lazy and give up hope of ever rous ng them If this laziness which nine times out of ten isn t laziness at all is accompanied by pale cheeks a thin condition of the blood extreme sllmness of the limbs and a general haggard A bust view of the first position look the lazy person ought to be a subject of Sympathy instead of censure ' It Is almost certa n that they are suffering from anaemia which is a condition where the body does not manufacture a sufficient amount of blood to keep the system toned up properly These are the persons to whom my physical " lessons would seem so tiring that after trying them for a wh le they would exclaim I Just simply am too tired to do them And they also I will admit will find that they are not U. getting rap d results A few letters that I have received carry this ' tone In them and although I am not personally fl . acquainted with the writers and have never j seen them I am certain that they are sufferers fj!t trom anaemia Now It will not cost you more Bs& than two dollars at the most to see your doc Wfi Front view of i Position No 2, gj showing the W proper way to k hold the arms No 3 Swing tt9 elbows bad as hard Uj you can, breathing j regularly D this A number oM times t to twenty.
