The Mohawk frontiersmen ripped

IMMINENT
RECIPE
BY Jack Dempsey
Hbrmer Heavyweight Champion Of the
World

A massage is something that
folks generally assume can
be had only by hiring some
expert masseuse or a rubber.
But that's rather wrong. A
personally conducted massage
NAV not reach all parts of the
back. as can a masseuse, but
ii can accomplish really Won
derful results.
So the main exercise for this
week shall be that called massage
exercise. 1t can be done upon
arising in the morning or before
going to bed at night. The brisk
ness of the massage depends upon
you. or rather how sensitive or
tough is your skin. But. when
massaging. lets not humor the
skin too much.
III NAV he sensitive the first
day-aad so YOU can go easy.
The next day you can be q
little brisker with your mas
sage. and. by the weeks end
you ought to be able to give
yourself a first-cIaSs treat
ment without any fear Of hurts.
The massage which this exercise
calls for is of two kinds; one with
the muscles relaxed. the other with
the muscles rigid.
The first thing is TO press the
fingers of the hands firmly around
one ankle, with the body muscles
relaxed Work the fingers firmly
around the ankle and then grad
ually move the massage upward to
the calves of the legs and then
upward to the hip.s Do this as
gently or as firmly as the condi-
tion of your skin will permit.
Having worked on one leg. go TO
work on the other, using both hands
on that leg.
Be sure that no matter where you
are massaging the action should be
In the direction of the heart
Having rubbed both legs massage
the hips. the abdomen the small
OF your back. your chest and then
your shoulders and neck. also
massage your scalp with your fin
gers and likewise massage each arm
AMI as much of your shoulders and
upper back as possible.
T h a I completes the simple
massage.
Now comes the rigid massage
which is the same thing except
that you are to tense the
muscles in whatever part Of the
body you are massaging. If yOH
are. for instance, working on
the right leg. keep the muscles
of that lee rigid until you have
completed massaging it. Then
relax that leg. tense the muscles
0f the other and so on.
All this calls for dry massage. Ii
you would rather use a liniment TO
assist the massage a druggist can
mix up for you an eight or Is ounce
bottle Of liniment l have suggested
mixture for rubbing purposes that
many persons have used and found
refreshing as well as "tonic-y.''
Here it is--an eight-ounce bottle
size:
About six and one-quarter ounces
rubbing alcohol: one-quarter ounce
arnica; one ounce witch hazel, and
one-half ounce camphorated oil
Give the massage tryout through
the coming week and let's forget
temporarily about caIisthenics. which
will be resumed next week.

of "brooder" for the yuong talent

enough to make hte Class A or

more college baseball players would

If they were not snapped off the
campus and put into the higher
grade of minor legaue clubs. He
believes they should progress to
the majors by easier stages, and
he was therefore impressed with
