THE STANCE.

AS soon as man has discovered
the correct manner of holding a. club
when addressing the ball, the next
question is as to how he should
stand when addressing the ball.
This question of stance deserves
greater attention than it usually re-
ceives, for it plays a highly i'm
portant part in the rhythmic move
ment of golf stroke. We have de-
scribed the stance in an earlier ar
ticle.
Any one who has ever watched
many golfers at play cannot fail to
have noticed the varieties of stance
employed, and in consequence the on
locker becomes totally confused as
to the proper stance for the various
shots. We have all seen the queer
positions baseball players get into,
but contrary to the belief of the
average golfer. and notwithstanding
the fact that one is trying to hit
flying ball and the other one upon
the ground, the stances of the golfer
are the more various of the two.
This is an unfortunate condition,
for with a stance that varies con-
siderably according to impulse no
man can be fairly certain of any
particular shot at any particular
time. Chance will always play a
large part in the game, but il a man
has no particular way of holding his
club or standing or swinging every
stroke will be a wild adventure into
an unknown land.

Splendid Way To
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing nof our
youth as the horrible tendency to nut
on too much weight after we have
reached the age, of 25 or 80 years
However young our faces may appear
the sagging, flabby figure and forty
inch waist "gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert. the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce a proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that Is wonderfully eff
ficient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without starving diet
violent massage or strenuous exer-
else. Go to any drug store and get
box of Phynola; take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-
lief from overburdening fat Ply
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is exces-
sive fat. BY this method many have
reduced their weight a pound day
and there Is no fiabbiness left. Gorgas.
