cising our bodies we keep the mus
cles firm and taut. Thousands of
women have corrected sagging
arm muscles and sagging abdomi-
nal muscles by sticking to a prop
erly constructed exercise routine.
If this Is true, and we know that il
is, then what is mor logical than
that sagging face muscles can be
made firm and healthful again by
proper exercise?
Most muscles sag, whether IL be
those OF the face or in other parts
Of the body, because they become
lazy. We sit and stand improperly,
therefore the abdominal muscles
are thrown out of line. Because
we, by our incorrect posture. re-
lieve these muscles of their in
tended work they become relaxed
and lazy. We alone are to blame
in such cases.
With those muscles that are
found in the face this reaction is
frequently caused because we~dre
| glum and sour in our disposition
and so let all the muscles in the
face droop. With constant relaxa-
ton of this kind the muscles be-
come lazy, just as the abdominal
muscles do when we sit and stand
incorrectly.
The temporal muscle Is a large
muscle that begins at the top Of
the head, spreading fan-shaped
| from the center Of the forehead
to the temples. AT this point it
narrows and then spreads out
again forming the major muscular
DEVELOPMENT OF the cheeks. There
fore this muscle Is largely respon-
sible for the contour Of the face.
When the temporal muscle be-

have lines and sagging. IL Is pos
sible TO stir that muscle into its
normal activity by massage, thus

A liberal application of cream
should be applied to the face and
throat before beginning a massage
routine. This Is to enable the
fingers to slip easily over the skin
80 that the delicate tissues arc not
bruised nor the skin itself,

Four movements for massacing
or exercising the temporal muscle
are sufficient. General rules for
massage are these: come
back over the direction OF the mas

upward direction. When your
fingers reach their destination. lift
them from the skin and 90 back
