A DeH propoTtioned figure Is
the result of sensible diet and
sane exercise, says Artie McGOU-
ern, noted athletic trainer. The
Washington Times, in a series OF
articles of tDhich this is the SiTth,
presents his diet and exercise
route to a heGlthtul SlendernesS.
Are you a weekend athlete?
Do you sit in an office from
9 to 5 each day, six days of the
week-and on Sunday play 36
holes of golf? Or a dozen sets of
tennis?
Nine out of ten big business
men and little business girls do
just thatAand call it getting
their exercised"
They return to the locker room
dead tired. but satisfied, saying:
'Well, I guess 1 lost few
pounds in that workout"
But they aren't reducing. They
are overtraining-trying to make
up for six days of sedentary occu-
patton by indulging in over-exer-
else that is fatiguing and really
harmful.
Warning Given
Artie McGovern, who has super
viSed the daily exercise Of Babe
Ruth, Winnie Richards, John Far
rell, and dozens of athletes, warns
the sports enthusiasts against
such examples of too much exer.
else in a too short a space Of
time. He advises:
Unless you play during the
week, don't play more than a
total Of IS holes of golf over the
weekend, or more than two or
three sets Of tennis"
You don't want to lose weight
rapidly. A pound or two a week
is enough. More than that is
liable to be injurious, to rob you
Of vitality.
Many women say:
81 simply can't diet. When 1
do tire easily, / feel nervous
and irritable, and I don't sleep
WELL"
That's because they are on a
stringent, ''quick" diet. They are
losing weight, yes, but they are
losing health, too. Generally the
quick" methods are very bad.
Exercise o. X. for Men
A girl came to Artie McGovern's
office the other day and asked:
81 drink a glass of vinegar
every morning before breakfast.
Do you think that will help me
to reduce?"
"Yes, but so will an attack Of
influenza"
"A lot Of things that are good

ing you sick, too. ANY serious
illness will make you lose
weight, but you don't want to
lose 1t that way"
Since this series on reducing be-
gan, we've had quite a few letters
from men whose wives are follow
ing the exercises and diet.
"Can we do it tOO?" they
want to know.
OF course! These exercises, and
the menus, too, are Just as good
for men as for girls. We said so
in the very first article. eLt the
kiddies follow them, too.-they're
meant for everybody!
But, don't forget to start all
your exercises with the deep
breathing exercise previously il

Save your exercise charts!
Don't do merely the two
or three exercises in each days

the ones that have gone before.
