When Exercise
Hurts
BY PAULINE FURLONG.

n HANY women write mo that when
MI they attempt to do stationary
AVA running. rope skipping. and other
pain in the side. II these women but
knew It. this Is a very good sign. rather
than a bad omen. because It proves that
q large area of unused lung cells have
become slightly stuck together and fall
not been used since youthful outdoor
games had been indulged In and have
remained closed almost through life.
Extra physical exertion makes them
open to receive the fresh air which you
are forcing into them. and the extra ef-
fort to breathe causes a slight pain.
When the pain Is good and sharp you
can make sure you are burning up a
mass of stored-up waste matter and
also giving new life to the important
internal organs.
Those who suffer from heart trouble
should avoid strenuous exercises.
