morning before dressing, aud at night
after disrobing, and let me say that
five minutes regularly given at these
times each day, is more valuable than
an hour or two several times week
at a gymnasium. 1t Is the little work
day by day that accomplishes the real
good, whereas something is lost dur
ing the longer intervals.
A good exercise is circling the body
, about the hips. The trunk is turned
only on the hips and describes a wide
circle from left to right, then from
| right to left. All of the muscles about
the hips, as well as those of the alb
domen, are exercised. and the whole
digestive apparatus is stimulated. Its
| practice is very beneficial when there
Is inactivity OF these parts. II you
are troubled by nervous dizziness this
exercise will help you, for by 1t you
