TO the rear as they VIII until you are
able to touch the hands behind the
back. At first you may be very stiff
and think you never could timber up
sufficiently, but in few weeks, per
haps even less time. you will be able
to touch them easily and evenly and
the shoulders will develop in a mar
Velous fashion II you will keep this up
a sufficient length OF time.

ally as IN the first position and then a
small circle should be slowly described
with each arm, upward and downward.
from front to rear. There is only one
don't" in this exercise. and II is easily
understood. Don't allow The arms to
pass in front OF the line OF the breast,
for the exercise will be robbed OF half
of it's benefits II you do.
4-AnOther beneficial one is to raise
the arms lateraIly and place the tips
OF the fingers lightly on top Of the
shoulders. taking care to keep the up
per arm horizontal. With your hands
in this position force the elbows 10 the
front as far as Is possible and then to
the rear In the same way. In any ex-
erciSeS 1t is always well to determine
upon certain number Of times to per-
form them, for you will be certain to
increase the number rather than de-
crease. For instance, settle upon ten
times and force the elbows to the front
and to the rear just that many times
and no more, until. Of course. you are
stronger and better fitted to take up
heavier work
5-This is an arm exercise pure and
simple and should be faithfully prac-
ticed by the girl whose forearm Is
underdevelOped- 1t is nothing more or
less than raising the arms half way
and opening and closing the hands with
force Open the hands quickly, spread
Ing the fingers and thumbs apart as
much as is possible and you viii feel
all the muscles in the arm and hand
working and pulling and strengthening
and before very long you will have a
grip Of iron.
6-The last exercise is yet another for
the arm but II treats entirely another
part. The fOrearms are raised until
nearly vertical. with the fingers extend
ed and joined, palms toward each
other. Now thrust your arms upward
with force, extending them TO their full
length. The downward thrust is made
by forcing the arms obliqUely back and
gradually letting them fall until they
have reached the sides.
l think it is better to give each set
OF exercises by themselves, for then
there can be no danger Of confusing
them, but there is just one more thing
1 would like to say. DO not be dis
cOuraged and think that you must de-
vote just so much time every day to
physical culture. for after you have
once got yourself into good condition 1t
will take a surprisingly small amount
Of daily training to keep up the high
standard.

for rust begins its deadly work and
I'm a short time will claim every inch

human machines. They will rust out

VIII wear out under mental and ply
steal activity, provided, Of course. that
activity is not carried beyond physical
or mental capacity, so that the
muscles or brain are overworked.
And so exercise and it's companion,
massage or kneading. become very
important factors both in the pre-
vention and treatment OF disease, for
there is scarcely an ailment that can
not be corrected by simple exercises
out of door life and deep breathing.
And TO this end will give few
general rules to serve as guide and
briefly outline the theory or principles
Of physical culture. For, simple as 1t
seems and really is, there are few who
thoroughly understand its science and
make daily use of IL. One does not
require a gymnasium with all Its cost
~ settings, for there is system Of
movements that one may do In the
privacy Of ones boudoir that VIII ex-
ercise and develop equally every mus
Gle in the body and when physical
exercise is carefully distributed, the
entire body is built up and strength
ened. 1t straightway becomes alert
and active; the eyes are bright; the
head clear; the circulation regular
and active and it becomes a joy to
live and ones first impulse on getting
up in the morning is to frislz about as
a colt does in a green pasture.
1t is one thing to exercise and quite
another to know how to do il proper
~. IT is true that women know that
by doing certain amount of physi-
cal training they will never lose their
supple grace. but they are very apt to
do too much Of one thing and not
enough of another. For instance,
there is a certain amount of pride In
every one of us. We like our friends

dignant when 1t stops and cries for
repairs.
First of all should come proper
breathing.
1t is somewhat remarkable that so
very few of US know how to breathe
properly. At least there are very few,
of us who make q daily practice Of
deep breathing-not an occasional
respiration longer than usual, but fifty
or more of them systematically during
the course of the day. Do you know Ii
is said that nine-tenths Of our colds
can che cured in their incipiency by
practiced just this deep breathing?
Probably every one of you think you
take as long breaths as are necessary
and so you do to exist but the aver
age pedestrian takes what is called a
half breath In other words Just
enough to keep things going COM
fortably. 1t is difficult, however, to
think to do any task at regular inter-
walls during the day. for 1t seems too
much like taking medicine, or rather
not taking it, for about one person
in ten remembers the powder or pellet
at the proper time, or even thinks of
1t at all If the truth were but known.
But deep breathing is important
enough to pay one to form the habit
When one takes q daily walk for ex-
erciSe alone it soon becomes a natural
ana easy accompaniment. IhiS article
Is not to be on deep breathing, but I
want to give a little system that is
well worth carrying out. even if one
does no other exercises and deems
them a waste OF time and energy as
some busy housewives do.
WhHn you start out take only one
Inhalation to each four steps and ex-
pei the air during the next four And
by the way, always inhale through the
nose and expel throu-h the mouth.
Keep this up for day or so and then

fresh blood from the arteries rushes
in, bringing with it new material to
replace that waste, for nature is an
excellent physician and does not ne
elect or forget a single treatment.
Every time a muscle is used she ar
ranges that, all things being equal, the
supply of new material is greater than
the waste, so that the continual activ-
ity of the muscle may not be retarded
OF the new, fresh supply run out.
People do not realize that every
time they move a muscle or think a
thought they use a muscular or brain
tissue. For years they have been
moving about at will and calling upon
their brain matter without giving
either one or the other proper care or
rest. Yet they expect the machinery to
run on and on for years and are in
