| THE ONLY RELIABLE NERVE FOODS"
1.-THE best thing man whose occupa-
Z ton is sedentary one can do is to devote
| certain length Of time every day. at
certain hours, to vigorous exercise-say
half an hour in the morning and half
an hour at night. This exercise should
considered duty, to be gone through
every day. and the importance Of never
| neglecting it cannot be overestimated,
since life and health depend upon it. Out
door exercise Is particularly desirable in
cold weather, when people are most in
clined to stay at home. The sharp, cold
air is more wholesome because it increases
the demand for food; it is q dyspeptit

Outdoor exercises are, of course, by
far the best. Running, swimming. foot
ball and base ball are all, admirable.
Swimming is particularly good These,
however, only do for boys and young
men. Perhaps the best sort Of outdoor
exercise in the ordinary way is obtained
by running in go-as-you-please style at
= dog trot The advantage, which this
method of locomotion has over walking,
from the point of view Of physical exer-
else, is that in the dog trot all the mus
cles are exercised, whereas in walk
ing only the legs are used to any ex-
tent. A brisk walk, however, is the next
best thing; but one must throw out the
arms and legs and put some spring into
the gait An hours spin Of three or four
miles will suffice the average person for
one day, with half an hours gymastic
exercise. After walking comes horseback
riding, which is particularly good for
those who have to stand . great deal on
their feet
GYMNAsrrCs-LUNG EXPANSION.
an the gymnasium, those exercises are
the best which develop the shoulders, the
arms, and the breathing capacity-such
as the horizontal bar, Indian clubs and
ddmb-bells. But it is possible nowadays
for every one to have his own gymnasium
in his bedroom. With q pair Of Indian
clubs, such as may be bough. for dollar
or two. the most admirable exercise may
be obtained. The proper use Of these will
develop every muscle Of the upper part Of
the body. They should weigh not over
four or five pounds apiece; the mistake is
generally made Of swinging too heavy
clubs Light ones will accomplish the
same purpose with less exhaustion.
Dumb bells, which cost about 60 cents
per pair. are used for the same purpose

auces for bedroom gymnastics which are

the best things know of is to expand the
chest slowly half-a-dozen times in the
morning after getting up. The lungs
should be emptied as faras possible after
each expansion, and then refilled gradu-

his chest measure in that time by from
