 EXERCISES IMPROVE
 THE CIRCULATION
 gwen if she has allowed herself to gain Q great deal of weight" Manya Kahn continues, "any wom- an can lose it--without endangertng her health or running the risk of having ftabny arms, chinline and stomach--simply by eating tiny por- tions of fattening foods and gen- erous portions of non-fGttenig ones and doing five exercises five times east every single day, including Sundays and holidays.
 "The exercises improve the cir- culation. When 1t Is sluggish there is a tendency to gain weight over eating and lack of proper, regular exercise ore the cause of the vast ma jority of weight problems"
