Increase Weight

In this case exercise was
enough. 1t may be that you are
underweight. Then you will
have TO bring your weight up
10 normal. Switching 10 better
food habits will step up your
vitality and that alone will give
yeti -r1trrrfigure.
You must have three well
balanced, nourishIng meals
day. Start off with bowl Of
hot. whole grain cereal for
breakfast in the morning and.
sometimes during the d ay
drink a full quart Of milk.
But il is exercise that tones
muscles and makes for lovely
contours. For this measurement
you need the kind of exercise
that uses the arms at the
shoulders. and spread fanwise
across the chest TO support the
bust. Here is the kind TO take.
Try 20 Times
Sit on the floor in a doorway
with back fiattened, from lower
back 10 top of bead. against
that side OF the door frame.
and feet braced against the
other side. Clasp your hands
directly overhead, with elbows
straight out at sides and, re-
Sisting with the other. move the
hands from side TO side. bring
ing first one forearm then the
other against the ear. Continue
for six counts, gradually IN
creaSing TO 20.
Once you have achieved
lovely proportions. you need
not worry about exercise being
TOO much OF a good thing. It's
role is 10 normaliZe and there
IS limit. To keep the tone in
your muscles. you have TO keep
on exercising.
The Is minutes a day our ex-
fat cheSted girl put in TO

much as regular program.
Besides what il does for the
figure, she writes, Il enjoy a

With a double score to settle
now, Jack Dillon, who first want

then challenged the latter to a
boxing duel Friday night, has
been forced to sign a contract
for his appearance against Mas

Promoter Causey stated last

the challenge, then tried every
angle to wiggle out of the fight
after he discovered that Massey
is former pro boxer with a long
list OF big names to his credit.
In the first supporting wrestling
bout of the evening Mannagoff will
climb through the ropes to meet
the unpopular Masked Marvel.
The match has been scheduled for
the best 2-out-of-3 falls with a 30

The coming program, according
to Causey, is guaranteed to pro-
vide plenty of action for both the
