the toilet tollet table can never furnish muscle building brings brined beauty to woman this biter statement is sum clont I 1 think to make mahe many women embark upon a physical development course what will woman not do to become beautiful they some of them at least powder and paint and bleach their hair and do all kinds of other foolish things in an attempt to improve their appearance if they but knew what a routine of dally daily healthful exercise would do for them they would soon forsake their toilet tollet tables for tho the gymnasium there is nothing in this world more lovely than a beautiful woman there is nothing more pleasing to the eye than a browned rosy u che cheoles oled cu full cheated ch ested straight backed woman let her be all these and she is certainly queen when I 1 see a poor pale narrow ch cheated ested weak woman noman with her waist drawn up so tight that it Is i impossible for her to take a deep full breath tho the kind hind that puts he health alth and strength into the human body my heart fairly bleeds foi her my aly late wife nife having at one time boon been an athlete I 1 am in a pocI position tIon to know just what 13 beneficial and what is not for the avorise e woman in the first place a woman should dress so that there will be plenty of room tor for the lunga lungs to have full play ninetynine ninety nine per cent of them are dressed so that it Is impossible tor them to take a good deep breath they breathe up in their chests only Cou consequently they are short winded thon again the average woman seldom gives a thought to the 1 idea oi 01 dally 6 she seldom walks wallis unless slie she Is compelled to she shuts hoi hot self solf up in a hot stuffy room eats improperly and then wonders that ehe she is subject to so ganv complaints many advantages I 1 say that in the past few 5 3 oars there has boen been a big change in k the mode of living adopted by women the game of golf has been responsible for this tills to a large degree and I 1 cannot say too much for it a means of exercise for women it provides just the kind of outdoor life that they need it them out into the sun and makes them brown and healthy looking it fills their lungs ful full of pure fresh frogh air while the continual wall walking cing and awil swinging of the clubs supplies exercise for the entire body women play golf of course sou ou can overdo it women differ so much in their physical makeup hat that what is medicine for one is pol 1 I in n for another for this reason a should carefully guard her strong strength th do not overtax yourself go about jour our sports and your walks with moderation era tion too much exercise Is s verse worse than not riot enough you can easily flud out just what you are capable oc or enduring and thee then shape your work and play to suit sult your strength do not be a physical freak what I 1 want A ant most of all to impress upon women la Is not to try to make malke physical freaks of themselves A woman noman cannot stand too tou much in any one direct loa at the expense of tho the rest ol 01 her body as well as a man can her iter physical makeup make up Is 19 not constructed or it for this reason she shoula try to divide her exercises as ernly as possible A woman who can row ride a wheel hasel and a horse swim shoot play teri iila and golf all moderately well and not try to overtax her strength ip any ono one branch Is tho the woman oman who will be strong and healthy she does not lace herself too tight she glories in the pure air and delights to throw out bar liar shoulders and drink in long deep mouthfuls of ot it and she nurses her strength as carefully as does the trained athlete this Is the woman whom it la Is a joy to see this Is 19 the woman who Is queen advice to parents for the health and rearing of their children how can I 1 train my child so he alu grow up to be an athlete this is a question which I 1 am asked constantly at the outset I 1 want to say to both fathers and mothers who pu this question to me dont by this dont I 1 mean do not start out with the idea that you want i tv make an athlete of 3 our boy just so sure as this plan Is pursued you will overwork him in his tender years and end by sending him to an early grave but do start out to make of him a big strong healthy child who will grow into a line fine manly man and his athletic bent will follow in the natural course of events too much training for the youn a j bones and muscles is far more harm ful tul than too little if a child gets no exercises for the muscles there is a chance for him to make up tip for this neglect when he grows up if ho lie gets too much and his weak little muscles are strained and his supple bones warped he can levei fully recover double strain weakens Ve akens it must be remembered that a childs brain 19 glowing even more rapidly than its body this is a strain on its system but a certain amount of healthy exercise will help it to stand this strain too much exercise will add to the this double strain I 1 will end by weakening the entire system there Is nothing that can be fn easily trained as the muscles of a child the muscles and bones are both toft LOS and pliable they can be molded like so much putty see that they are molded ole right way there is not a lay ay passes that I 1 do not have a romp with my little son I 1 also put him through a regular daily course of exercise I 1 instruct him in gymnastic movements that will tend to make him supple in every joint at 1 the same time tinto the tiny mu muscles seles are slowly but surely building up on his little limbs and body that is the way they should be formed form ed slowly almost as slowly as iho the wearing away of a rock by the waves of the ocean do not start too soon another point which should be carp cart fully funy followed is 19 not to start too early to train our children just so sure as you do you will put some strain upon them that their young bodies cannot endure and then they are permanently incapacitated all the bright hopes hope of making a man among men of your boy are si 1 I oiled by undue haste harte to make a youthful wonder of hm when your boys and your girla too for that matter are just able to toddle around the best thing you can do 1 Is to see thai that they are kept outdoors as much as possible children cannot get too much fresh i air get got them thein up early earl to in the morning and send them out into the fresh air even if iou JOIL live in the city keep them outdoors when hen the weather permits belter better to have them dirty and healthy than clean and sickly follow the foregoing plan and then when sou s ou think that the children are able to stand a certain amount of simple exeria exercise lse commence to put them through their gymnastics every morning and night they will grow strong they cannot help it it if they will follow tho the rules given in the first article artcle bear in mind that your children must have plenty of nf fresh air and moderate regu flar exercise and they will grownup grow up to be men and women of 4 whom you may je e phoud copyrighted 1901 by A J drexel biddle ahall philadelphia london WM
