WHY COPS ARE coRPuLENT.
An Old Member of the Force Explains
the Inevitable Paunch

An Old Member of the Force Explains
the Inevitable Paunch.
''It's standing joke with lots of
folks" said a retired policeman the
other day, "that almost as soon as a
new man is put on the force and goes
out on patrol duty he gets fat. You
never yet saw picture of policeman
but that he had a paunch on him wor-
thy of an old country German
"But it isn't corpulenoe that forces
policemen to buy bigger wasted trousers
and coats as they grow older. It's de-
formity; that's right = deformity.
When man is on his feet anywhere
from 12 to 20 hours out of the "a, he
just settles down on himself. He puts
all his weight on his hips.
'This throws out his abdomen and
draws his shoulders back, making him
look hollow backed. 1t seems to rest
him. His feet and ankles, which get
sore, rheumatic and all out of shape on
account of his constant walking, are re-
lieved when he rests his hips. Just try
it and see how easy and restful the
habit is. But you'll get an amazing
front in a short time.
"a policeman feet always become
large. l wore a No. 7 shoe when /
went on the force 80 years ago. Now
/ have to wear No. 10, and the width
well, / guess they don't letter them
up to my width. And it's all on account
of the walking.

two or three years are fat and at the
same time not fat. New York Sun.
