HOW TO BECOME A RUNNER.
one Of the Most Heaithfui Exercises a

Running Is one OF the best Of exer-

In sprlntlng. distance. or cross-country
running-to run entirely on the ball Of
the foot. or. as they say on the track,
Get up on your toes!' BY striking on
the ball Of the foot. which Is a sort OF
natural spring board. the runner takes
a longer stride. and the spring that he
gets enables him to lift his foot more
rapidly and repeat the stride more
quickly than the runner who goes fat
footed. As length and rapldity OF
stride are what give speed In running.
Il follows that a fiat-footed runner can
never be fast one. Another reason
against pounding away Gat-footed Is
that the delicate mechanism Of the an
kle. knee. and hip is Jared and may

for runner to observe Ia his method
Of breathing. Breathe through both the
nose and mouth. Nearly every boy
when he first begins to run has the in
sane idea that all the breathing must
be done through the nose There was
never greater mistake. when a boy
runs his heart beats much faster than
It does ordinarily. and pumps out Just
80 much more blood. All this must
be aerated or purified by air from the
lungs. The oppression that one feels
when beginning to run Is due to the
lungs demanding more air for the ex-
ira quantity OF blood which the heart Ii
