learned to carry your head erect
and thus eliminated the lump on
the back of your neck. your
chances Of getting a double chin
or neckline wrinkles around your
throat are greatly eliminated.
To correct bad head carriage,
try this exercise:
Stand erect, relax neck and let
head fall backward as far as pos
sible. Now place hands behind

hands do all of the work and
really lift from behind ears. Re-
lax and repeat ten times. Notice
how this eliminates fullness be-
low the chin line and any small
hump on the back of the neck.
To keep the muscles of the
throat firm. Miss Langford rec
ommends this routine:
Stand erect. Lower chin "a

then turn head to the right,

Now let head fall backward as

times a day. Incidentally, this
one is a sure cure for that feeling

necks at the end of tn day.
