BEST EXERCISES
ARE METHODICAL
FRANK ooTcA GIVES ADVICE TO
THOSE OF SEDENTARY HAB-
IT'S WHO DESIRE TO
BUILD UP.

Proper physical development should
be the first aim Of every ambitious
person, for there is nothing truer than
the time honored axiom that q sound
mind is generally coupled, in the bat
tie of life, with a sound body. The
trouble with most people lies in the
fact that they do not know just how
to exercise properly. For the benefit
of such | will express my opinions,
based upon a long experience which,
believe, almost every one will admit
has delivered proper results.
The keynote Of health is physical
stamina Physical stamina is synony-
nous with muscle power. Get the
muscles properly attuned and in per-
feet accord and the other intricacles
of the human organism viii pretty
rearly always respond 10 this high
standard
There are two basic classes Of
physical development which l will try
to illustrate very simply The one
/ is found in the weight-lifting type of
muscles-the snort ones. The other
kind is the perfectly attuned long
muscles. The latter are the kind that
may be depended upon for any sort Of
burden. They imply endurance and
lasting power.
Short Muscles Deceiving.
Development of the short muscles
is often very deceiving. You have
seen many weight litter, perhaps,
| L.. al, 20, .,I
steal perfection as one could imagine.
But, ten to one, in reality lie is weak.
He looks the part, without doubt his
bunchy muscles fairly bristle I'm power.
So it seems. But outside any line of
work that would call these short
muscles into play. the fellow would I'M
doubtedly be found TO have little last
ing qualities.
The purpose I'm the first place is
not to be a trained athlete nor a
specialist in any branch of athletics.
1t is to properly fit the body for daily
work. whatever occupation or profess
sion one may be engaged in and to
fit il so that duty may be performed
in the easiest and best manner. Where
fore, / would warn not to go in for
spectacular development Bunchy mus
cles do not imply healthy muscular de-
velopment
Go after lung muscles-the thongs
of durability. They show indications
Of rounding out more slowly, but their
] culture counts. Where any set of
muscles are developed one must PAY
the price just the same as putting
down money on the counter and get
ting goods in return. Figure IL out;
| IL one goes at exercise and builds mp
| the petty. short muscles, they cannot
/ expect much In return for the short
space of time devoted to the work. II
Is better 10 spend twenty times the
patience and effort building mp long
| muscles. because all the time the sys-
tenn is being bettcred valueless waste
is being torn down--worthles adipose
| tissues are being torn away.
Long Muscles Best.
| one must counteract tho effects of
! pent-up, indoor. sendentary habit.
This cannot be done by the exercise
Of the short muscles. for one must
sweat off the poisons and harmful
fats from the system. And right here
comes in the principle that cleanli-
ness comes next to goodness. Certain
IL is that cleanliness is absolutely i'm
perative for health. DO not load the
pores with your own poisons and then
let the fetid substances dry in. Sweat
is a form of waste--a type of poison.
| After work always remember the bath
and the rub down. They do as mueh
good as the exercise. Cleanse the
pores of their poison: IL viii actually
aid in the upbuilding of the physical
organism.
