The period between 10 and D years Of
age is undoubtedly the most important
decade in "A mans life. During this inter
val are developed and matured the Phys
zeal. Mental and Sexual Powers. Circum-
stances and surroundings have much to do
with the formation of character and indi-
viduality of the man. but to a great eX-
tent the carving of the future depends on
himself. Any deviation from or transgres-
sion of Natures laws may alter or change
a whole future. Hard work. long study.
intemperance. gambling. evil associates.
etc. have broken down many a hardy
youth and wrecked what promised to be
a brilliant career. Temptations. dangers
and designations are everywhere. and It
requires discretion and strong will power
to resist them. OF all the evils besetting
our young men none is more prevalent and
destructive than the solitary habit of self
abuse. So common is this vicious practice
among boys that not ten in every hundred
escape its baneful effects. Modesty pre-
vents parents from advising their children,
and the poor victim finds out when too
late that he has made a fatal error. We
see the victims of this harmful vice on
every hand. The sallow. pimpled face.

future. Nocturnal dreams, exhausting

Even a Northern town like Detroit, which

That this question of sending a negro

Experiments made with blood drawn be-
fore and after exercise lave conclusively
proven that perspiration comes not from
tho fat. but directly from the blood. Very
thin men often perspire quite as freely as
fat men. Blood drawn after exercise is
always CT more solid constitution than
that taken from 1t before working.
When the blood reeds water there are
two ways in which it can get it.

flesh drinks during or Immediately after
exercise. the blood gets all the liquid it
wants through the stomach and the fat
cell remains intact. there is no reduction
OF flesh.
AVOID DRINKING AFTER EXERCISE.
Reduction of fat takes place after eXer-
else as we'll as during IT. Hence I par
ticularly advise the man who would re-
duce fat not to drink anything for an hour
and one-half after exercising. This is
most important. Give the blood time to
break down the fat cells. Then drink
because the fat cells are not easily rebuilt,
once they are broken.
He who would reduce e~mbonpoint must
eat reasonably and avoid sugar and
starchy foods. He should drink as 1T
tie as possible. l do not advise that he
go hungry or thirsty, but he should be
moderate in his eating and drinking. We
all overeat and overdrink.
Many of my pupils come here, work hard
to reduce then rush downstairs to the cafe
and drink from a pint to two quarts of
beer. They are simply wasting time try
ing to reduce while they take their drink
so soon after work. Work smartly and
rapidly. get up a good sweat, do not eX-
ercise until too weary and then avoid
drinking ANYTHING for at least an hour and
ore-half. Then you will lose flesh.

WRITTEN FOR II SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Business men. particularly those who
have been sturdy athletes in their school
ard college days. are often afflicted with
an accumulation of fat after they engage
in business and cease athletic exercises.
Many business men come the Missouri
Athletic Club gymnasium and say to me:
What can / do to reduce my heshc l
am getting to be a mere jelly fish"
To reduce flesh Is an easy matter. Ath-
letic exercise and moderate diet will do
il. l do not advise business men to work
on special apparatus. or TO take machine
or special work. l believe in having
them play games, like handball, basket
ball and other gymnasium sports. Box
ing and wrestling are excellent methods
of reducing flesh, but too strenuous for
the average fat man when he begins work.
To box or wrestle, especially wrestle. you
must be in some sort of fair physical
condition.
COURSE OF EXERCISE.
/ take my fat pupils and work them
with ~dumbbells. pulleys. medicine balls
and some apparatus giving but a few
minutes to each machine. ! try TO whoop

possible. Then l have them work with
