Dear DR.. Brady:

somebody was pinching our bakery

time was. In mfserabfe eeAte with

to be nauseated.'' (They do deliver
some stale stuff sometimes-I suspect
they gather UP Yesterdays rolls ard

Il wrote to you about it, and you ad-
vised me to continue rolling even
though every blessed stick of fur
niture in the house slipped It's moor

Respectfully,
am gratified with this testimonial
pa articularly because the lady doesn't

rolling somersaults. ! do not recall
that any one has set up any claims In.
that respect, and certainly have not
suggested at any time that the mere
saults will help anybody. to reduce
superfiuous flesh. I don't know how
the erratic sex acquires such a>notion.
Somersaults should not be confused
with work or exercise, No, the lady

done that.
Arc you dignified? It is easy to
find out Just arrange mattress Or
some pillows for n distance Of fivc or
six feet on the floor. Take off Your
harness. loosen the check rein. duck
your head. grit your teeth, double up

you hadn't eaten that second psece oi;

OF misguided people. In these aato-
mobjlious days, when middle! age,

mind.
/ lust can't bring myself to list here
the ."indfcations" for somersaulting.
F,yery time I SO much as mention a
symptom or condition in this column
a hundred-we1l, l just cant. There
are already too many people working
morbid imaginations overtime. But
may venture to say that half dozen
o. more somersauits each morning
and evening will put great deal Of
stagnant blood. Stacker blood, back
into circulation. blood just hanging
around doing nothing in tho, great
splanchnic pool every more or Hess
human being has in his trunks In
some cases 1t goes back with suehs
rush that it actually makes the, tyro
roller dizzy. But II at first the sears
come out, roll. roll again. With per,
severance and plenty of room, some
day you'll come up smiling. -. Il
