"Dog-Trotting" Held as
One of Best Exercises

The easiest and quickest and the
most important exercise for the ma
jority of Us is the simplest in the
world. just plain. everyday stretch
ing. When you get up in the MORN
ing and When you go to bed at night,
allow yourself generous stretch.
During the day. whenever il is pos
sible. stretch. Make it habit
Make it instructive.
If you have ever watched a wild
animal in the zoo, or even your own
dog or cat. you have noticed that it
seldom gets up or makes a move
without stretching. By this simple
exercise it forces its blood to course
faster and keeps itself in condition.
Most of Us could stand something
more strenuous than stretching. and
even if our time is limited we ALWAYS
have enough for jogging or. as we
used to say as boys. ''dOg-trOtting"
Jogging is an exercise which may
be taken as strenuOusly as its de-
voice desires, and can be safely rec
commended TO men of ali ages. When
ever you feel tired. all you have to
do is drop into a walk, and when
your WEAKNESS is over. commence
easily jogging along again
Fifteen minutes of jogging twice a
week will do more to put you into
shape than a daily game of golf.
Nothing can afford greater relaxa-
ton. which in work or play is
prime essential. Charles W. Pad
