| rules said pretty young woman holding
| out an arm to be pinched. There il my
| arm. Hard AZ iron. 1T Is all muscle, yet
! IL looke liRbt and soft. There Is no bunchi-
ness about It, no knots nothing but good,
| firm flesh.
mot for worlds would have the great
muscle knotted arms Of the American CIR
athlete. She, poor thing, will show you
} a knot OF muscle on her upper arm, Just
below the shoulder, as big as your fist
Feel my muscle, she will say.
IF she were to say this to jfu-jitsu
instructor he would say:
Alas, you are muscle bound. There
! Is no strength whore your muscles are 30
hard, 90 lnotted and 30 punched up. You
will grow weaker and weaker You cannot
! hope to get stronger. Your muscles must
be evenly strengthened
The day rules Of the jiu-jitsu girl are
! the most interesting part OF her routine.
II she lives up to them she will follow out
no less than ninety-seven rules. As for
me, follow about three dozen and am con-
tented.
The first day rule Il TO get up early,
or II you do not get up, TO wake up. Wake
up early, open the windows and lie down
| again. This gives you half an hours good
| pure breathing.
I have q jlu-jitsu alarm clock which
vakens me at precisely In the morning.
/ slip on something very warm, jump out
OF bed, run TO the windows and throw them
wide open. Then 60 back to bed to breathe
the good morning air as 1t comes In the
windows
"The jlu-jitsu girl dlslilres ever TO close
the windows She sleeps with the windows
open all the year round. One window
Is down from the top and the other one is
up from the bottom. This gives a current
Is one Of the rules.
THE second day rule Of the jiu-jitsu
girl Is to get up and take a walk. Rain
or shine, she walks an hour before break
fast.
"A good rule is to run part Of the way
and walk part. Most jiu.jitsu girls do
this. II they are where they can do 20,
they walk a mile, then run an eighth OF a
mile, then walk. then nun, arriving homo
at breakfast time in fine condition.
The real jiu-jltsu girl-f she lives in
Japan-has very little milk to drink. There
are fewer cows IN, re than In this country
and so she cannot take a glass Of milk
before going for q morning walk. But In
this country a glass Of milk can be oh .
tanned, or a glass Of hot water. which is
better than nothing Mineral water Is
sTo take a little OF something acid before
brt akfast Is one Of the day rules Of the
! jiu-jitsu girl. A cup Of hot water with
a lemon squeezed into It will do. There
must be no sugar.
This may seem a little raw at FIRST, but
] Il - 49, nal In NH h M
! quenohing thirst there Is nothing like 1t
| in the world.
There are three good thirst quenchers,
90 the jiu-jitsu people tell us. The hrst
Is a glass Of water with lemon squeezed
slowly. The third is q little icod barley
water, itself very pleasant after you have
| learn. d the taste.
The jiu-jitsu girl, by the way, Guilt
Yates her taste. She never says How
| horrid She goes to work and learns TO
! like the things recommended 20 her.
THE jiu- jitsu girl also learns 10 like oat-
meal water. To make oatmeal water you
| cook the oatmeal, pour Oh the water ice
| Il and there you are. You can add some
| crt am to it IL you please,
There is another thirst quencher which
plays a very important part in the life
| of the jiu-ji girl. This Is a tea cocktail
| There is no other name for it In English
unless YOU want 20 call 1t plain tea.
TO make the tea cocktail, take as much
| tea as will fill a teaspoon. Put II in dry
! CUP Pour in a cup Of boiling hot water
Put the saucer on top OF the cup. Set over
a tny flame for q second, not long enough
TO crack the CUP, and the tea is made.
TO drink II, pour on into another cup,
also very hot, drop In maraschino cherry
and q lump OF sugar, and there you are.
The real jiu-jitsu girl drinks this without
the lump Of sugar. II 10 called Japanese
| tea sometimes, TO distinguish II from Rus
sian tea. The rule Of the iiu-J itsl girl Is
TO take tea warm, not Lot. 49,
! Long walking Is not strictly iiu-jitsl
| requirement. The Japanese women, though
very strong, do not do great deal OF
walking in the street. Their shoes are too
clumsy for this
2 sBut they exercise a deal in the house,
and are very partial to swimming baths
/ and to tie gymnasium, But the American
girl, trying jiu-jitsu at home, cannot al
ways have a gymn asium handy. The
street must be her exercise ground.
Another OF the day rulee Of the Jiu-
jltsu girl Is TO walk at q good smart gait,
and TO have her muscles free and easy
as she walks. She may lace when In the
house, or when dressed in her ball gown.
/ But when she goes out 10 take her health
exercise, she does not lace by any means
| Her clothing is 40 loose that every muscle
| Is free and she can feel the blood tnglng
! through everv part OF her body.
! a rule Of the jiu-jits1 girl-one OF the
/
eroise when she feels herself getting out
| Of sorts. She says to herself;
When ] feel III ! am cross. When ]
am cross then grow irritable. When l
grow irritable grow ugly. When, / grow
| ugly ! am not pretty. And H. all comes
| f'om feeling III. ] must keep we'll. And /
can keep well only by taking good eXer-
| cise.'
zone OF the best rules Of tho iiu-jitsu
girl Is a nerve ruiz. She makes Il point to
do nothing at ell for q great part OF the
day, -,-,--
eyes, OF II she Keeps them open they are
lookin at nothing ct all She never
rushss through the day, but she takes
things slowly and gives her nerves plenty
Of time 10 rost.
sHere are some OF her other day rules:
Eat only two meals day unless you
are on the 90. II quiet In the house you
need nothing except Jour breakfast and
your dinner.
Don't eat all you can hold. Get UP
from the table hungry. II you are still
hungry an hour after dinner, eat some
stewed qdinoes, OF take q baked apple
OF somo other nios fruit. Forget there Is
such a thing as sugar. II you must have
sweets eat honey.
Drink two quarts Of water day. When
