Normal Weights Are Not Immune To Mid-Spread

3! Ida Jean Kain

The figure problem that plagues the normal weight is most apt to be - the stomach. Anatomically this part of the figure is dubbed the abdomen. but under any name. when girdle ' becom flabby the middle spread threatens. Nor- mal weights ask if they are sup- posed to accept this bulge as part and parcel of middle age. The ans- ser is a esounding No! So all those interested in banishing the spread. tune in.

Since there is no bony structure through this part of the figure, muscle tone, pride and posture are all that stand between anyone and the spread. A small amount of daily

'r ” -holding calisthenics is wonderfully rewarding. The mus- cular girdle is not just for appear- ances. but to support the internal nrgans against the down-pull of gravity.

Many of you seem to oblect to taking exercises from a lying down posture. With a down quilt on top of a thick rug on the floor. it's most comfortable. Start abdominal strengthening exercise from this safety position -- lying on back, knees bent, soles of feet flat on floor.

SIMPLE MOVEMENT

The first movement is so simple as to almost seem no exercise at all. Pull up and in firmly. pressing

small of back flat against the floor -hold this contraction to the slow count of six, and repeat three to six times.

From the same position, slide right foot down so that right leg is extended on floor and have right ar1n back on floor overhead. Gently stretch, pushing down with the right heel and stretching beyond head with the right arm-pull both ends against. the middle muscles. Then bend right knee. stretch left leg down and pull along the left- side. .

From the original position. on back on floor, knees bent. feet flat on floor, lift hips off floor to a straight line and h-o-l-d. Repeat three times holding each time.

Restore tone to the middle musc- les. then make a practice of pulling up and in with those muscles to keep your posture on the beam, and you'll banish the middle spread for good and all.

Mary Hawortll

Man Has Resenilul Altitude Towards Wile's Pregnancy

Dear Mary Hawurth: We are in our late twenties, parents of two children under three years of age. Another child is on the way and my husband "11 call him Ben-is very unhappy over this and broods about it constantly. Although we are financially able to support an- other chlld. he said. "It's the worst thing that could possibly happen." Ordinarily I would be overjoyed at the coming of another child. But much as I love children. my husband's attitude fills me with fear and regret about this preg- nancy. I have almost continual cry- ing spells and have become very nervous and depressed, so that I don't give my children and house the care they need.

Ben is a selfish inconsiderate per- son. who has always catered to his desires without concern for us. He takes little interest in the children or the house, except to pay the bills. As long as I can remember. his interests have been outside the home with his buddies. Perhaps the reason is that we married at 21, before either of us was really ready for it.

PAST TRIANGLE

Our marriage hasn't been per- fect. At one time there was an- other womsn: then we separated; but because of the children we are together.

Having another child puts more of s burden on me than on Ben. I think: bus he is feeling sorry for himself at being "tied down," I know I can't change him into ac- cepting the new chlld with joy (such as most parents feel). nor can I "make" him treat me as a husband should. But I do want to overcome my fear and dread in- stilled by him, so that I may rightly (I! my duties as wife and mother. I sincerely hope your comments will give me strength to accept whatever the future may hold for

me. F.M. NATURE'S ECONOMY? Dear F. M.: One of the overt mysteries of life is why, in so many marriages. we see a fine person teamed with a seemingly rather worthless , ' of hu- mnnlty. But possibly this is no- ture's way of equalizing things: to keep the human race from produc- ing an uvus helming tide of hope- lessly no-account persons. at the unfortunate end of the scale. Maybe the imbalance (as in your case) has a purpose in the divine economy. Maybe there is a cosmic principle back of it all. that has to do with giving the evoluting human race an even break. Maybe the Big Ides (in God's mind) is to prevent mass production of the worst in human nature. and keep the good always working like
