America has established a tradi- tion of extensive athletic interests.

She regards herself as athletic; and abroad, particularly since ‘the ‘American Expeditionary Force ex- hibited itself as a marvel of physi- csl fitness, her citissns are sup- posed without exception to be a race of football heroes.

This is not surprising. A glance st our newspapers. with their gen- erous contribution of space to the cause of sport, would give anyone the impression that our waking hours are evenly distributed among the grid iron, the diamond, the prize ring and the links.

As a matter of fact, however, we are more given to “following" a sport than honoring it with our ac- tive participation. While it is un- doubtedly true that there are hun- dreds of thousands who derive from gymnasium classes, from baseball, tennis or golf a degree of physical exercise sufficient for their needs, there is for the overwhelming mil- lions no‘ exercise at all worthy of

newspaper, I shall have these mil- lions in mind, and exflain the exer- cises and diets most helpful to the sedentary man and woman. My talks will he ddllled to benefit the averlle person. ‘Huey are not put forward, however, to take the place of special exercises or diets that may have been recommended b7 DlWIMIlI-l. and in case you are doubtful st all as to their advisa- Wll! in your case, you should ask your doctor's opinion.

Most of the exercises l shall reo- omm " will be simple ones. They will deal with correct methods of walking, standing, sitting and breathing, and will point out how serious defects, such as flat feet, stiff neck, high shoulders and in- testinal troubles, may be avoided or corrected by proper habits of posture at work and at play. For-example, the person who suf- fers from weak arches, a condition which may eventually lead to flat feet. can usually avoid this mister. tune if he learns to exercise his leg muscles properly by "toeing in" in- stead of "toeing out." The correct way to walk is with the feet paral-

in-and feel come up.

Toeing out causes the weight of the body to come on the inside in- stead of the outside of the feet. Besides ' arch trouble, it tends to make you knock-knead. lt upsets the carriage to such an ex- tant that it may be a factor in caus- ing intestinal or stomach trouble and hollow chest.

Another example of the benefit that may be derived from simple exercises is the correction of bad posture-the tendency to droop on one side or the other when stand- ing. Defective posture often be- gins to appear in a man at the age of thirty or thirty-five. One man of my acquaintance was a lawyer, fifty years old, who had a tendency to carry his head down. He made a practice of "wearing" his hands in his pockets. l remember the first day I met hlmf He asked for me and stood beside my (lcsk in my ofilcs waiting until I came; head down, hands in pockets, weight on one foot and his mind far away.

The wall exercises, which will be explained in a later article, are designed to correct the ‘ ndency of people to slouch when standing or walking. if you have no physical defect, and yet take a longer step on one side than the other, it is because you have become addicted to a slouching posture.

This exercise will help you cor~ rect the habit of taking unequal steps: Lie on your back so that, with your knees bent, your feet are against the wall. Keeping your feet to the well, push back so that you rock to and fro, the weight of your body shifting as you rock, from your hips to your shoulders. This is merely to show you the mo- tion of the exercise. The exercise itself requires you to rock by push- ing with one foot at a time. Push most with the font with which you take the longer step when you walk. This is, if your low shoulder is on the left, so that you take a longer stride with your left leg, push fifty times with that as against ten times on the right side.

with but little exercise to balance the sedentary routine of their daily work. ln such cases you will usu- ally find the individual adhering in- stinctlvely or by advice to diets that do not require vigorous physi- cal exercise as a counter-agent. Where my articles are general in nature, the diets will be general in purpose and not designed for the correction of specific ailments. However, in those articles that take up specific physical conditions. calling for particular corrective ex- ercises, the dlet will be designed to supplement the exercises. Answer; to Your Questions

During the publication of my ar- ticles, l will answer by letter any question on exercise or diet ad- dressed to me by subscribers of this paper, provided the questions deal with subjects on which there is a general agreement of opinion. and do not introduce conditions which could be judged only by a physician in a personal examina- tion. Should l receive communica- tions of the latter variety, they will be returned with the suggestion that the correspondent consult his doctor.

All letters should be addressed to the editor of this newspaper. who will forward them to me for atten- tion. Please bear in mind that your questions should relate to nothing but your p. blems of exer- cise and diet. l am not selling any course in diet or exercise, nor any books on tho subject, and I am not offering my endorsement to any course or book on the market. Consequently, l cannot answer questions about them.

Every article in my series will resemble a page from n book. The size and general appearance will be closely similar. l have arranged

to have them published in this style for the convenience of those who

will want to clip them out of the paper and paste them in a scrap book. It is my hope that most read- ers will do this. The articles will be in effect a series of lessons em- bodying my best experience over a long term of years. The greatest

benefit ‘will be derived where all of them are preserved for easy through life in satisfactory health reference.
