ACTORS BEGIN BY
PLAYING OLD MEN

Lyn Harding. who plays the principal
role in The Great Adventure" which
comes next week to the Belasco The
ater. remarked the other day that almost
all the Rctors he knew began their Ca
reer by playing old men, and only grad
uated into portraying the more youthful
characters as they themselves grew
older. At present Mr.. Harding is play
ing the part Of liam Carve in Arnold
Bennetts brilliant comedy, 1.-The Great
Adventure" and. as he says, he has
row arrived at the point where he IS
portraying men who are about his own
age. liam Carve was forty-five. Lyr
Harding is about forty.
When Mr.. Harding made his debut he
was only seventeen, but he took the part
OF a man OF seventy. 1t was not until
he himself was in the latter part Of the
twenties that he was given an extremely
youthful role to portray.
II suppose there is a certain reason
for this apparent illogic." Mr.. Harding
explained. II mean that suppose We
appreciate values better when We see
them at a distance. The characteristic
gestures Of a gray-beard strike the mind
OF the youth more forcibly than they
impress an old man, and as he loses his
youth a man begins to realize the full
meaning Of It. Or. perhaps, It is merely
that we observe things more impartially
the further we are away from them" I"

Seventh-Throw the head back with the
feet on the bed. and lift the body clear
SO that the shoulders do not touch, so as
to form an arch. Repeat this two or
three times. This is enough in bed In
the morning.
Eighth-Take a cold bath and rub

water or have not the facilities to do it

begin to exercise the other muscles
which have not been used yet.
Ninth-While standing hatfooted, throw
the arms down by the thighs backward.
Then straighten up and repeat ten times.
Continuing the same motion, bend the
trunk forward as nearly horizontal as
you can maintain 1t and let the arms
swing as near the floor as they can go.
This limbers up the muscles of the back.
Tenth-Now keeping the knees stin,
try to punch the big toe OF each foot
with both fists. Repeat five or six times.

For Keeping in Good Health
Tells How He Game Back"
After Suffering from Gen

Diet and Exercise Impor-
tant Factors.
by j. STUART PRICE.

Six years ago the people OF South
Carolina were frightened and saddened
when press dispatches announced their
beloved champion. Benjamin Ryan TILL
man, was slowing up. The country at
large Joined in with the folk Of the old
Palmetto State in wishing the pitch
fork" a speedy recovery from what was
said to be a general breakdown.
Today Senator Tillman Is in harness,
working from early morning until dark.
looking after the interest Of his people
and fulfilling the duties of chairman Of
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
But since the announcement was made
by the press six years ago, the Senator
has taken a new lease on life His
friends are pleased to see his steps stead
ier and his voice stronger.
And to physical culture the remarkable
change in the old warrior is due. Senator
TiIlman did not follow the ideas and
suggestions of various physical culture
professors, but mapped out his own line
Of exercise.
He Is not selfish with his ideas on
physical culture and is willing to tell
the people of the Capital through The
Washington Herald how he has added
many more years to his life by proper
exercise.
Senator TiIIman's Rules.
And here they are:
First-Before getting up in the morn
ing, take the head of the pillow and
stretch out straight. Begin by kicking
Cast
the other fifteen times each. This and
other movements where counting is re-
quired, 1 drew in the breath to the limit
and hold it while the movement Is on,
ten to fifteen times.
Second-Put the heels ON the bed with
the knees drawn up; then throw the
knees apart as far as they can be car
ried, repeating twenty times.
Third-Throw first one foot and then
the other toward the headboard with
vigor, keeping the knee-joints as straight
as you can.
Fourth-while still lying on the back.
kick out with both feet as wide apart
as you can and do the kicking with
emphasis, so as to strain the muscles OF
the calf and the soles of the feet
Fffth-Elevate both feet at once toward
the headboa. and bend the spine as
much as possible by using the abdominal
muscles to pull up the lower extremities
three times, twice. II the hands are
placed under the small part Of the back
and the arms are used as a lever to help
elevate the legs and feet, it is very much
more effective. II in an iron bed this can
Be facilitated by grasping the railing
above the head with the hand and pull
ing up the legs and feet by the use of
the muscles of the back and belly. This
is very fine for reducing the paunch as
it substitutes muscle for fat and hardens
the abdominal muscles.
Sixth-Fasten the feet under something
and pull up the trunk up to a sitting pos
ture; drop back and repeat four or five
times This is very straining at first and

this and holding that the union did
