: ‘ioc Culture for November, oh | , ae : oe ei: el "aa tu tell You howto Master Good English-- in 15 minutes a day! : ene | By SHERWIN CODY ~ KNOW just how you feel. You want to speak and write correct, forceful English that will help you com- mercially and socially. You want to avoid the little mistakes that can make others misjudge you. Yet you are a busy person. Your time is strictly limited. You can not afford to wade through endless rules and theo- retical exercises. But you can give 15 minutes a day— | and through my fascinating patented Self-Correcting -* Method these few spare-time minutes can bring as- tonishing results, as 70,000 others have already proved! When my ideas of improving English by habit-forming methods began to attract wide-spread attention a few years ago, I was invited & to Gary, Indiana, by William Wirt, author of the famous Gary system of education. For ten weeks I had a free hand with the English classes of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of all of the Gary schools. The students showed more improvement in five weeks than they had before in two years! Soon after these results were confirmed during an eight weeks’ test in the schools at Racine, Wisconsin. Even more recently an enlightening experiment was conducted in the schools . of Colorado Springs. Seven hundred pupils followed my methods. The re- mainder of the school. system was kept under the usual teaching system. In his report Mr. Bair, then Superintendent of Schools, said in part: “The general results . . . were astonishing . . . Mr. Cody has come upon an idea and to some extent a procedure almost revolutionary.” | How My Invention Corrects Your English For many years I studied the causes of slovenly speech and writing. 1 wanted to find out why so many people make mistakes that hold them back, and how they might easily learn to speak correctly and effectively. After thousands of scientific tests had shown me that the average person in school or business is only 61% efficient in using good English, I learned that people fail to speak and write good English simply because they have never formed the habit of doing so! And they don’t know how to acquire the habit. After countless experiments ‘I finally invented a unique device. I was promptly granted a patent upon it. My device picks out your individual flaws in speech and writing with unfailing accuracy, helps you to banish them, and leaves you with only the pure, polished, and accepted forms. Soon you learn to write correctly and speak fluently without even thinking about it! Through this device you can acquire a better command of English in only 15 minutes a day—right in your own home. Already over 70,000 individuals in every walk of life have made use of this easy, simple method—leaders of industry, ambitious- young employees, stenographers, ministers, lawyers, clerks, teachers, men and women in every profession and in every trade.

3 2 Physical Culture for N ovember, 1930 ey Salesmen Were’ Bort But Now He Makes 110000 a Year ...Lhanks to This Little Boo T was just a little free book that made the difference between Ed Pinkham and the rest of the men in our shop. Nobody ever imagined that Ed would land even in the $5,000-a-year class, let alone be making $10,000 before he was thirty. Ed didn’t know himself, the abilities he had in him as a money-maker—he couldn’t even sell the foreman the idea of recommending him for a five-dollar raise. But one day, a strange occurrence changed the whole course of his life. During his lunch hour Ed started to read a little book he had brought to work with him. “Tt’s a book called ‘The Key To Master Salesmanship,’ Bill,” he told me. “It’s the most amazing thing I ever read. I never dreamed there was so much in salesman- ship. You ought to send for a copy yourself. Why don’t you? It’s free.”’ “Huh!” said Luke Jones. ‘‘Does that book tell you how to learn to be a salesman? A fellow has to be ‘born’ that way to be a good salesman.”’ Ed just smiled at that, but he said nothing. We kidded him about it, but he wouldn’t tell us any more; just smiled. About four months later he left us. The foreman grinned when he heard about it. ‘“I’ll see you in a week or so, I guess, Ed. You can have your job back when you want it,” he promised and Ed thanked him. But after he left Ed never came back and we won- dered what luck he was having. After that, J forgot him until last night. I was going home, when a snappy sedan drove up tothe the curb next to me. “Hi, Bill, going home?”’ said the man in the car. I looked up, and there was Ed, dressed like a million dollars, leaning over the wheel. “For Pete’s sake!’’ I said. ‘‘What are you doing now- adays, Ed?’”’ He smiled. ‘City sales manager for the Steel Castings Company,”’ he told me. ‘‘What are you doing?”’ “Still at the shop,”’ I replied. ‘‘But what I want to know is, how do you come to be sales. manager for Steel Castings? They’re one of the biggest firms in the business.”’ Ed smiled again. ‘“‘Remember that book on salesman- ship that Luke Jones was kidding me about one day? Well, when I finished my salesmanship course, the Association I took it from gave me a choice of twenty- one jobs through their Free Employment Department. I got a wonderful job, and I had a wonderful training, so I’ve had a pretty successful time of it. They made me City Sales Manager three months ago at ten thousand dollars a year.”’ “Good night!’” I said. ‘“‘And Luke and I are still punching the old time clock!’’ Ed looked at me seriously. ‘‘See here, Bill, he said. “Are you sport enough to risk two cents that you can do as well asI did? Then spend the two cents to write to the National Salesmen’s Training Association tonight and get their free book. Then take their course. When you have your diploma, their Free Employment De- partment will help you get a good sales job—every year they have calls for over 50,000 salesmen. Not only will they help you get the job but they give you an ironclad money-back guarantee that you must be satisfied with the training received—or they refund your tuition! “Bill, training is the only thing you need to make you a wonderful salesman. That stuff that Luke Jones talks about that salesmen are born is the biggest bunk I ever heard. They made a salesman out of me; they can make a salesman—and a good one—out of nearly anyone who will study. Every human being is born a salesman. Thousands of the greatest possible. kind > of salesmen live and die without knowing their own powers. The difference that makes the so-called born salesman successful is the fact that he has learned, through experience or through training, the funda- mental selling secrets that always work. It’s training in those secrets, which I got from the N. S. T. A. that made a $10,000-a-year success out of me. You can master them as well as I did. Send for that little book tonight, and when you’ve got your training come and see me. . FREE—To Every Man A book—but what a book! Just seven ounces of paper and printers’ ink—but it reveals facts and secrets that have led hundreds of men to success beyond their fondest expectations!

This means that literally you can own thes? fifty volumes of great beauty—a_ veritable lifetime library which will grace the most im- posing home—at a price per volume con. siderably less than popular fiction. _ New modern home edition The modern type face (substantially larger than the type of former editions) has been selected with great care by the foremost craftsmen of book manufacture. Its size, its spacing, the width of margins, and many more details have been executed with skillful care, giving the utmost in a beautiful page, and offering gréater reading pleasure and comfort. The superb paper used for this edition was designed especially for it. It is an achieve- ment in pure and lasting whiteness which forms a pleasing background for the crisp. black type. The bindings are sturdy and beautiful— comparable in appearance to the rare and expensive sets usually found only in the finest private libraries. The backs are of impressive design, stamped with 22 karat gold. The books have been increased in size more than 15%, making a volume which is handy to hold and to read, as well as a size which is most imposing and attractive on your library shelf.

And the great humorists and scientists join the glorious pageant which begins at the dawn of literature and thunders down through the ages to our own times. An amazing price offer Dr. Eliot said, “Do not publish an expensive edition. Make the price within the range of the average family.’’ His wishes have been faithfully followed. The most modest family budgets have comfortably absorbed the notably low price of these wonderful books.

I use fairly cold baths in the summer, taken by sponge or bath spray; but as soon as early fall comes I chill after the baths, and may not’ be warm for an hour or even for two-or three hours. —JANE K. H. ANSWER: You probably are somewhat anemic, and do not get enough exercise. Your - baths may be too cold for your condition, also. If you take a. good towel rub before and after the bath, you should be able to secure -good reaction practically immediately, even if you use fairly cold water. You should make it a point, in fact, to rub the body until you do get the reaction to full warmth. Of course, take the bath in a room warm enough to pre- vent chilling. And it may be necessary to use water only a little below tepid temperature. Another excellent procedure for you is the air- bath. During your bedroom exercises take a eomplete air-bath, having all clothing _ re- moved. Take this for only a short time at first, gradually increasing the duration as your | reaction improves. Try only the dry friction bath if you continue to feel chilly after your baths and friction. Cold Hands and Feet UESTION: In spite of the fact that I do considerable exercising, am im average good health; and dress suf- ficiently for body warmth, I have cold hands and feet all win- ter long and most of the fall and spring. What do you suggest as a remedy? —Mrs. I. L. M. Canal Life Answer: Your quan- tity of food may be low, or starches and fats may be deficient or not well digested, or their combustion is incomplete; or you may be con- stipated, hence toxemic; you may not exercise enough; you may take no tonic baths, or baths too cold, or too hot. Try adding slightly’ more starches and such sweet fruits as dates, raisins and figs, all well masticated. Try also walking gradually increasing distances. daily, practising deep breathing at least part of the time. If your baths are hot’ or warm, always follow them with baths cooler than body tem- perature; if you have been taking cold baths, temper the water a little. Have plenty of fresh air at all times. If there is any inter- ference with breathing, as from nasal defects, it may be a contributing cause, and it may be necessary to have such abnormalities corrected. ‘ Conducted by a Personal and Confidential Associate of - Bernarr Macfadden Other Questions Answered in This Department Cold Hands and Feet Vitamins in Winter Inflamed Alimentary Varicose Veins Nervous Trouble Swimming After Middle Vitamins in Winter UESTION: How can one be sure of an adequate supply of vi- tamins during the win- ter? —J. F. G. ANSWER: By using as many. natural foods as possible throughout summer and fall, as well as during the winter. One can store up a reserve supply of vitamins during the fall, but it is not safe to attempt to go through winter on such a reserve supply. Milk usually can be secured the year round, and except for late winter its supply of. vi- tamins is high. In most markets fresh vege- tables can be procured the year round. How- ever, hot-house vegetables and those shipped long distances do not have as high a per- centage of vitamins as fresh home-grown vegetables have. Canned vegetables may be used for this supply, but the vitamins of all, except tomatoes, are reduced by the canning process. Oranges usually can be obtained throughout the year... These, some lemons or grapefruit or both, what vegetables are ob- tainable, and milk will supply an adequate amount of vitamins if one has used the foods | especially rich in vi- tamins during summer and as late in fall as _ possible. Inflamed Alimen- tary Canal Question: What would you advise for a woman past fifty whose condition seems to be inflammation of the whole ‘alimentary canal, beginning in the throat and continuing through to the rec- tum? Would: you ad- vise enemas, and what kind for this particular condition? —M. D. W. ANSWER: First I would advise you to try to find out what the real condition is, by thorough examination. But in almost any event I would advise a fast. Certainly’ with any fair degree of inflammation of the alimentary tract, or even disruption of its. function without actual inflammation, there is no condition permitting normal di- gestion. If you haven’t the “nerve” to try fasting by yourself, get under the care or ob- servation of some physician, preferably in some sanitarium where fasting and _ fast-breaking are regularly practised. But many people have fasted many days at home. Try it. Drink abundantly of pure water, perhaps with some orange juice in it. The milk diet would be the best possible diet to use after the fast, working up gradually from one quart to five quarts or so daily. Use a plain water enema (Continued on page 8) hysical Cultwre Institute of Nutrition. See page 4.

Use heat by any method over the entire abdomen, followed | by a brief cold application and drying. Varicose Veins - UESTION: I am very fat, my legs are very heavy, measuring 30 inches above the knee and 20.inches around the calf. The veins show all over the thighs and lower legs. Is there help for me, as I am only thirty-five years old? —Qnuio. Answer: Follow the suggestions given to “Abby” above. Also lie head down on an inclined support, use cold packs locally, exer- cise in the inclined position, and give massage (upward) to the extremities. An elastic stock- ing may be worn, though a better appliance would be a knitted linen stocking, which looks like an ordinary stocking, is more comfortable and more durable than the elastic ones. Some surgeons dissect out the large veins or parts of them. But a newer and more satisfactory method, when necéssary, is injections which cause the veins to shrink. General anesthetic is not required, and one does not need to lose - any time at all. The method is perfectly safe when done by a competent man, and_ wholly satisfactory. It is the only real cure for pronounced cases. But try reducing and the palliative means mentioned above first. Nervous Trouble Question: I have had a nervous trouble for five or six years. It seems nothing wil relieve me. I suffer so much with’ a nervous headache, sometimes on one side, sometimes on both. The leaders of my neck feel stiff and drawn. During the warm weather the affected part of my neck stings and burns like the heat, though it isn’t heat. It seems that all that will | help is something cold, like an ice-bag. Please tell me how to get well. —I. M. C. Answer: Very likely you are ‘all keyed up” all over, and your nervous system is under a state of irritability and unnatural tension. You need more relaxation. Hot applications, or alternate hot and cold applications to the neck and entire spine should help, especially if followed by massage. You can massage the neck yourself to some advantage, but it would be better if some one else did it for you. Osteopathic treatments should be very help- ful. Slow'stretching of the neck in all possible movements, and of the back also, will be of benefit. Get an abundance of sleep. | moderately, of vital foods, and have consider- able milk and at least two egg-yolks daily. Tepid baths daily, also daily free and easy walks, should assist. : Swimming After Middle Life UESTION: I should like to know if a woman of fifty-six years should swim and take up diving. I am a grandmother and have three married sons; but I feel better than when I was twenty, thanks to living the physical culture life. I swim daily, but some tell me it is not good for me to take so much exercise. But I have no bad after-effects. —Mrs. L. W. ANSWER: Swimming is excellent for anyone, from as early as possible to as late as there is enjoyment in it. This is especially true of salt-water swimming. would depend upon your general condition. It is likely that you can take up “‘shallow diving” (from low heights, as from a raft or float) with- out any harm at all. It might be well to have an examination occasionally (say every six months or at least every year) to see that you are developing no insidious disease that ae ut such a. check-up is helpful anyway, whethe swimming or not.

ON. ion 1 930 . | This Little Gland Robbed ~ | Meof Sleep and Health [Discovered a New Hygiene Tt had been coming on for years—this devilish thing called ‘‘Prostate Trouble!’’ gave it little thought at first, because I figured that all men — experience a certain change about my time in life. That was my big mistake. I th ught it was just the breakdown of on- coming age and that I would have to put up with it. I did for a while, but a year later, my condition went from bad to worse at an alarming rate. These Common Symptoms My sleep was broken a dozen times every night. In fact, one hour’s fitful sleep was a luxury. Pains had developed in my back and legs, and I was chronically constipated. I was run down in body and almost broken in mind—practically an invalid at 58. -I talked to scores of men. In fact I talked to practically every man I met or could get to listen. As I look back now I think I was practically insane on the subject. — Faces Surgery It has been my experience that a ma- jority of men past 60—and a surprising number even at 40—had one of these dis- tressing symptoms, but few men had it as bad as I did. I had seen my doctor, of course. But he could offer me but little relief. I spent hundreds of dollars in an effort to avoid. an operation, for I had learned that gland surgery was usually dangerous. This insidious little gland that robbed me of sleep and health now threat- ened my very life. for MenPast ZO The Turning Point Then I read one of your advertisements. I admit I mailed the coupon without the slightest hope. There probably never was a more skeptical mind than mine. But this simple little act turned out to be the biggest thing in my. life. I can never thank you enough. I am now sixty. I can go to bed at ten o’clock and sleep straight through. My doctor has prenounced me in normal health. My entire body is toned up, and I feel almost like a youngster. I have had no return of the trouble, and now use your pleasant treatment just fifteen minutes a day, over one or two months, just to make sure that I keep my perfect health. Millions Make This Mistake When I was at my lowest ebb, I en- countered so many prostate’ sufferers that I know there must be millions of men doctoring for.sciatica pains in the back and legs, bladder and kidney weak- ness, chronic constipation, loss of physical: and mental capacity and a host of sup- posed old age symptoms, who should prob- ably be treating the prostate gland! In fact, I learned not long ago that certain medical authorities claim that 65 % of men at or past middle age suffer from disorders of this vital gland. My advice to these men is, not to make the mistake that I made. Send the coupon for that little book, ‘“The Destroyer Of Male Health.” Find out the facts about this little gland, which the book contains.

When the chairman asked me to say a few words I told him I wasn’t a speaker, but he said, “Oh, it’s easy, you won 't have a bit of trouble. Just talk naturally.’’ The minute I was on my feet I began to realize that speaking was a lot more dif- ficult than I had expected.

In 20 Minutes a Day And then suddenly I discovered a new easy method which made. me a forceful speaker al- most overnight. I learned how to dominate one man or an audience of thousands. At the next meeting, just three weeks later, I got up and made the same speech I had tried to make before —but presented so forcefully, so convincingly that when, I had finished they actually applauded me! Soon I had won salary increases, promotion, popu- larity, power. Today I al- ways have a ready flow of speech at my command. I am able to rise to any oc- casion, to meet any emer- gency with just the right words. And I accomplished all this by developing the natural power of speech possessed by everyone, but cultivated by so few—by simply spending 20 min- utes a day in the privacy of my own home, on this most fascinating subject. : . when someone ron the How to become a clear, accurate sfienis audience said, ‘“‘Louder thinker There is no magic, no and = funnier!’’ Every- How to develop your power of concen- trick, no mystery about one” laughed.

And that was the way it always was— I was always.trying to impress others with my ability—in business, in social life—in club work—and always failing miserably. I was just background for the rest—I was given all the hard. committee jobs, but none of the glory, none of the honor. Why couldn't I talk easily and fluently’ like other men talked. Why couldn’t I put my ideas across clearly and forcefully, winning approval and applause. Often I saw men who were not half so thorough stage fright, self-conscious- ness and bashfulness, winning advancement in salary, popularity, social standing, and success. Today business demands for the big, important, high-salaried jobs, men who can dominate others —men who can make others do as they wish. It is the power of forceful, convincing speech that causes one man to jump from obscurity to the presidency of a great corporation; another from a small, unimportant territory to a sales-man- ager’s desk; another from the rank and file of political workers to a post of national importance; a timid, retiring, self-conscious man to change almost overnight into a .popular and much applauded after-dinner speaker.

Medical dictionaries give us innumerable terms that designate certain symptoms. There you will find a name for your ailment, and after you have consulted a learned diag- nostician you at least know the nature of your trouble. But medical diagnoses, even by the most learned physicians, cannot always be ac- curate. Therefore, the proven a that diseases of all kinds are to a certain extent allied should be the source of great satisfaction. Health is natural — inherent. You should be vital and vigorous, vibrantly healthy, if you care for your body intelligently and scien- tifically. This being true, you naturally there must be some cause for your indisposition. Disease does not come upon you like a thief in the night. You do not breathe it in the air. In some cases it may be infectious or con- tagious, but even to acquire it — under such circumstances you must usually be “fertile soil.” Your physical status must be be- low par for these devitalizing agents to take root. “There is no disease without a cause is a statement that should flame out in the sky in fiery letters a mile high. That thought should be burned into the mentality of every reasoning being. Then when (H. Armstrong Roberis) disease comes your way the cause. should be ascertained and with well-developed health in- ‘telligence it should be located in practically every instance. There. are few if any. excep- tions. - Nearly all physicians will tell you chee dis- ease begins in the stomach. Improper feed- ing, therefore, comes in as the great out- standing cause of physical troubles. There are many other allied causes. sedentary life is another great evil. Life within the body depends upon certain functional processes. They are tremendously affected by the food we eat, the exercise we take, our habits of bathing, thinking, etc. This body of ours, though self- regulating, is indeed a micas : human machine. The ; But the rules essential KG its proper maintenance can easily be learned. One can acquire the knowledge that is needed to keep the body free from disease at all times. There may be-great emer- gencies that we cannot foresee, but a condition of vital health through- out life can be insured in practi- cally every instance if one will give his bodily structure the same at- tention he gives to a complicated and valuable mechanical device. Disease can be cured by remov- ing the cause! The body then slowly but surely cures itself. The vitality becomes so great that the destructive influences, whatever they may be, are entirely removed. | 13

(Gene Garrett, Minneapolis, Wide World) Here is remarkable youth for a virtual octogenarian. Martha Curran Gray of Minneapolis, Minnesota, at seventy-eight years won a $1500.00 international prize contest as the Loveliest Mother in the United States and Canada. She is the mother of six children, has twenty grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, all living OW long do you want to live? The decision is up to you. If you are really keen about living to old age, you can pretty nearly pick your own span of life. Do you want to live to seventy? ninety ? Almost anyone can live to an advanced age, if not to a full century—provided that one is willing to pay the price of longevity, and is not too old when the decision is made. . I am talking about a comfortable, healthy and happy old age. There is no point in living to a hundred if you are going to spend the last twenty or thirty years of it bedridden or racked with pain. Blindness, deaf- ness, and the other evidences of senility are much too high a price to pay merely for the privilege of lingering on this earth, a burden to yourself and to your friends. You are not going to live normally, most of you, be- yond the middle sixties. But the only reason for that is that most of you will not pay the price for another ten, fifteen or twenty years of life. You can have it if you want it, but the price gets higher every year that you continue to live without paying an instalment on it. For we do not live as long, in this age of cities and machines, of rush and hurry and excitement, as our grandparents and great-grandparents did in the quieter, 14 Or eighty?

Kirby of New York, famous. art connoisseur and top man in this pic- ture, and Joseph Lee, bottom man, phil- anthropist of Boston? (Keystone Views) kept on working up to their death. But once they got a good start at life, they lived many years longer than we can expect to live now, unless we set about the business of living in a serious way. That may sound all wrong to you, especially if you. have been reading the frequent reports that show that the average age of the people of the United States is - longer than it used to be_ That, also, is perfectly true. Only twenty years ago the average “expectation of life’’ of every child, at birth, was only forty-five years. ‘Today the average expectation of life of every baby born in the United States is fifty-four years. But, on the other hand, the average expectation of life of the . person who survives infancy and reaches maturity is several years less than it was twenty. years ago. While (Keystone Views) Adam Baird at the age of seventy is: still bdatiag * on | the green at Oakland, seem ccycrsad our average age is longer, the maximum age—that is to say, the age at which adults pass away—is shorter. And the reason for this apparent paradox is simply that we save the babies that used to die in early infancy. More children live to grow up but once grown up, they do not last as long, on the average, as those who survived the perils of infancy in the old days. Three-quarters or more of all the babies born in the United States now live to school age or longer. Not very many years ago, as time goes, only one baby out of two lived beyond earliest infancy. Ihave just been looking over the record of the city of London in the year 1720, two hundred and ten years ago, which I found in a curious old book in my library. In that year there were 17,479 babies born in London. In the same year there were 9,715 who died in the first three months of their little lives. And that is about the pro- portion that prevailed in all the civilized countries of the world, with a much higher infant death rate in the less civilized nations, until modern medical science found ways to check this terrific loss of babies. Tins saving of the babies has been a wonderful - thing. But one of its results is that infants who, under the old conditions, would have died, are now saved regardless of whether they are fit to live or not. Newspaper readers will remember the excitement a few years ago over the case of a Chicago physician, who deliberately let a child die, because it had been born with deformities which would have rendered it a hopeless idiot all its life, if it had lived. Most people 15

16 (J. Glander, Manitowoc, Wis., Wide World) This little lady has been here a long time, but is still healthy, happy, charming and evidently due to stay a long time yet. She is Mrs. F.K. Hougen of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, sectional winner in the “‘love- liest mother” contest thought that was a humane thing to do, although on religious grounds the action of this physician was severely condemned. And the increase in the popu- lation of our institutions for the feeble-minded, the ‘epileptic and the insane, is a powerful commentary upon the increased longevity of the unfit. But you who read this have survived infancy and escaped more or less successfully the diseases of child- hood, and are looking forward to long and healthy lives. And I am saying to you that your chance of living to be as old as your grandfather or your grand- mother lived is very much less than the chance which they had when they had reached your age. a In THE little weekly newspaper published in the county where I have my summer home and which I read every week for the news of my rural neighbors, ]_ noticed last week fourteen death notices. The interesting thing about them was that eight out of the fourteen were of citizens of Berkshire County who had lived to be past eighty years old. Some of them were over ninety. .They had spent their lives in the quiet rural surroundings of Western Massachusetts and they had lived long, usefully and happily. That is one way of living to old age. Bury your- self in the country, work hard, long hours, out-of-doors as much as possible, live on what you can earn and don’t envy the people who have things which you cannot afford. 3 I know that that is not practical advice. It is no more practical than to advise you to live the way that Physical Culture for November, 1930 nature intended you to live. You have only to study the structure and functioning of your own body for a very few minutes to realize that the natural man ate what he could catch, or pick off a tree, or dig out of the ground; and, because he had to spend almost all of his daylight hours in the pursuit of food, he kept his muscular frame in first rate working condi- tion and exposed his body to sun and (Keystone Views) These nonagenarians and centenarians are really our “strongest men and women.” They are better made up than most people—they last longer. This is William H. Taylor of Los Angeles, born July 9, 1828. That .makes him 102 years young. He recently played a part in the Paramount production, ‘““The Vagabond King”’ rain and wind, and so managed to live to a good old age. Wait a minute! Did he live to a good old age? There is a very serious question about that. There is no evidence whatever that the primitive man of the past, or the savage or semi-savage natural man of today, used to live, or does live, longer than the civilized white man of the U.S. A. The evidence, in fact, is all the other way. Leaving out accidents, wild beasts, and such fortuitous causes of death, the primitive races of man die today as primitive man has always died—comparatively young. . The natives of the Andaman Islands, who are. probably the most primitive human beings on earth today, seldom live beyond forty-five. A man of forty is a venerable ancient among them, and a woman of forty a withered hag. ‘Those of you who have been brought up in the South know that the Negro of fifty generally looks as old as a white person of eighty.

UNL i wih _ Prolong Your Lrfe 20 Years Talking not long ago with Donald MacMillan, the Arctic explorer, he told me that the Smith Sound PE OF sk Pa AION Mehr ry Abn ou4 orien Eskimos never live beyond sixty, and most of them are old at forty. One of the reasons why we live longer than these primitive peoples is that we take longer to grow up. It may be stated, as a general rule, that the earlier a child is thrown upon its own resources and sent off into the world to shift for itself, the shorter his or her life will be, everything else being equal. Early matings are not conducive to longevity, and that is especially true of early childbearing. Few members of the human race, at least of the white races of the North, reach full physical maturity under twenty years. If their physical development is retarded or interfered with in this growing period there is a definite (Wide World) (Little Studio, Atianta, Wide World. Photo) It is a curious fact that intellectual men and women generally live longer than those of less mentality. Appar- ently they are better gifted from all stand- points, with more vitality and with larger brain arteries so that their minds keep young longer. A beautiful example is seen in Mrs. Lucia Tiller of Atlanta, Georgia Here is an example of the man who lives long and healthfully and in the meantime acquires wisdom and happiness because he lives what we call the physi- cal culture way. This photo- graph of John D. Rockefeller was taken on his ninety-first birthday 17 / upset of the physical balance of the whole organism. One of the prices that you must pay, then, for long life is to postpone marriage until you have got your full physical growth. This is naturally of more impor- tance to girls than to men. It has a very considerable application to men, however, as any reader of Katherine Mayo’s “Mother India” will readily understand. The precocious development of sex life among the natives of India is, Miss Mayo contends, and medical evidence bears her out, one of the principal causes of the general frailness and lack of stamina, early physical decay and short lives, of the great mass of the people of that turbulent country. And while childbearing in itself is not only not injurious to health, or to the prospect of long life, but, within reasonable limits as to the number and frequency of children, seems to have a tendency to make mothers live longer than men, very early marriage means childbirth before the physical body is really ready for it and also usually means an excessively large number of children. Nature, left alone, is as prodigal of children as it is of everything else. There is no conservation in nature. All natural processes are wasteful in the extreme. Nature is concerned only in perpetuating the type, and notatall with (Continued on page 76)

It is evident from this photograph eae Mary Lewis never did lose her feminine loveliness, even though manifest increasing weight had unfitted her for motion picture talkies—or should we say “singies’’> HEN the tired business man steps out to re- create himself with a little diversion in the way of en- tertainment, he will always be found way down in front at one of the most talked of musical shows. He goes to feast his tired eyes and frayed nerves on beauty. For gathered in the current shows are the most beautiful— and most beautifully formed—girls that the producer has been able to gather together. Right here the little wife sitting at home could take her cue. But does she? To the girls who are in the shows it is absolutely necessary to keep the lovely figures that nature so gen- erously gave them. Therefore you will find them in- dulging in all kinds of sports, following a good diet and altogether keeping themselves physically fit. Gone are the days when a popular beauty loaned her small boot for a champagne cup to her many admirers at a mid- | night supper. The show girl of today cannot afford the signs of dissipation and the added girth that such parties bring. If a lovely voice is coupled with her figure, then her time is more than ever taken up in training both body and voice. Not so many years ago when Florenz. Ziegfeld was on the lookout for a beautiful girl who could sing—a_ quest that is ceaseless with him—he spied one in the Greenwich Village Follies. It was not long until she took her place as one of the Glorified Ziegfeld Girls— a. distinction to which every show girl aspires. This little girl whose form was exquisite, and whose voice floated out like a bird’s, was soon headlined. The name, 18 Mary Lewis- she announced her career in grand opera. This Ex-Follies Beauty, Now a Grand Opera Star, Remodeled Herself for the Screen— the Rest of Us Can Do It as Easily By CORDELIA B. MAKARIUS Mary Lewis, was in electric lights on Broadway—the great Mazda Lane. Those who knew predicted great things for her. All said that a girl with her beauty of face, form and voice would have the world at her feet. Now Mary Lewis worked hard. ‘The day came when She had made the great jump from a Follies girl to the inner circle of the musical world, the Metropolitan Opera House. Surely fate was good to her. Her lovely form, her beautiful face and her exquisite voice was a com- bination hard to beat. Those who were accustomed to see the heroine in opera as a robust, more than plump figure were pleasantly surprised to find that they could both look and listen to this new opera star without spoiling. the illusion of youthfulness for which a role often called. After a few years in her opera career, Mary Lewis be- gan to slip as far as beauty of figure was concerned. It was unnecessary that she follow the more rigid code of living and dieting during her operatic career. The audience did not demand it and she thought, as have many others, that the strenuous rules of eating cor- rectly and exercising for health and beauty. were un- necessary as long as the voice maintained its beauty. 7 F OR some unexplainable reason the characters of opera have always been of more or less generous lines. Opera audiences have never been exacting in their con- ception of the heroine of the score. To them the rendition of the music has been paramount. A heroine could be as fat.as she wished just so long as her voice was good enough to please the most exacting in musical circles. Then came the talkies. Many stars of both the stage and opera regarded the talkies as an upstart, giving their introduction but scant notice, but it was not long until the demand for talkies was so great that the most famous stars were made tempting offers. Among them was Mary Lewis. Imagine her surprise and chagrin when after the test was made she found that she actually appeared fatter
Page 21
to YOUTH and BEAUTY in the pictures than she really was, but at that, she had assumed rather generous lines—a long cry from the beautiful form of Follies days. There was only one thing to do if she wanted to ap- pear in the medium of the talkies—reduce. In thinking of a reducing régime, Mary Lewis remembered among the many colorful, stressful reminiscences of her career, which paved the way to her brilliant success in inter- national opera, those no less strenuous days when she was a popular Greenwich Village Follies girl and later the famous prima donna of the Ziegfeld Follies. She recalled the fate of many of the beautiful show girls, who were her companions at the time, who went on rigid diets which undernourished them, leading sometimes to drugs to assuage that gnawing at the vitals which is the natural persistence of a constitution demanding its rights of nutriment and rest. SHE felt that she would not take the risk of literally starving herself to death and becoming anemic, drawn and haggard looking. She felt that there must be a means of taking off the unnecessary fat that would be pleasant as well as beneficial. Instead of cutting out foods entirely, she used proper food combinations in smaller. quantities and started in with a system of massage under the direction of one of Hollywood’s best known masseuses. Added to these treatments she _ took up the natural avocations of the modern girl. She swam, golfed, rode horseback, walked and danced, all of which are conducive to a figure rich in grace and simple in line. Like a high-powered car, the body that has no excess weight is gaited at a higher rate of speed. | And what is the result of this system of reducing by Aa tur a] methods? What does Mary Lewis look like me today? Is she : going into the talkies after all?

The lovely Mary Lewis, who swept. enthissinstic audiences to their feet in the world-famous Follies, is again her shapely self. Once more the fresh contours of her lovely body are in evidence and there is no flabby skin or wrinkles to give proof to too drastic a method of reducing. She is not underweight or anemic. She has retained the curves of youth while ridding herself of the superfluous fat. She has reduced from one hundred and fifty pounds to one hundred and twenty-eight. The Mary Lewis who recently appeared before operatic audiences well cushioned in excess weight will now be a revelation of beauty and artistry. Film fans will welcome and hold for their own a Mary Lewis on slim, girlish lines with the added allure of a voice that is bigger and better than the voice of the Follies girl. Every woman of today realizes the value of a well- proportioned body and it is surprising as well as en- couraging to compare the elderly woman of these days with the mothers and grandmothers of a few decades ago. Where is the double chin, the waddly walk, the woman old and faded at forty? She is gone. But there are those who are still troubled with a few excess pounds. They envy their slimmer sisters and want to get thin. They think it is all very fine for a well-known opera star who can afford the time and. effort on a reducing program, but what particular good will that do them. A reducing program—one that will help and not harm you, one that will bring back the curves of youth and not the angles of anemia—is (Continued on page 128) 19 :

“Why do children flunk in school? The story behind these two photo- graphs, both of the same child—a ‘ pupil at one of the public schools of -New Rochelle, New York—offers an illuminating answer to that ques- tion and one which should be of special interest to all parents as well as to teachers everywhere. _ These two photographs show not merely an improvement in health, but even more conspicuously a transformation in the spirit and mentality of this youngster. How this was accomplished not only in her case, but in that of scores of other children at the Columbus School, is the very interesting and important subject of this article ER name was not An- gelina Ricci; but for purposes ‘of anonymity let us call her that. Angelina was nine years old, an_ olive-skinned, dark- eyed, red-lipped, black-haired little Italian beauty. At least she would have been a beauty but for the fact that she squinted, and that there was a tense, drawn, frightened expression on her face, as if she were in some ill- defined mood of distress. She was nervous to the last degree, and was by turns fidgety and apathetic. In games with other children of her age she came off badly; and when the others found that she could not keep up their normal pace, they ignored her and left her out. At first this made her resentful and moody; 20 X aking DULL Your School Should Do What Dr. Daniel R.

Her legs were spindly and a trifle bowed; her. whole body was lean and emaciated; her ribs stood out and _ so did her shoulder- blades. There was an uncanny look of age in her — faee, such as one some- times sees in children of the slums. There was, in short, every evidence that An- gelina was hovering on the borderline of a bad case of rickets. To cap the list of her symptoms, her In- telligence Quotient turned out, on test, to be only 74—which 7 | represents a degree of subnormality which is not far removed from idiocy. Had Angelina been sent to the average public school, she would have been looked over by a doctor, tested for her k Q. rating by a teacher, and forthwith labeled “backward” and a “‘mental defective.”” She would then have been placed with a group of other children of similar rating. Her association with these. other presumably subnormal children would have confirmed her condition, and would have deprived her of stimulus. * ea

This feeling of inferiority would have put her progressively more and more on the defensive when in con- tact with normal children and with adults, and also when in contact with any sort of normal social competition. And this defensive attitude would have tended to take the form of hostility toward the order around her. In other words, it would have made her anti-social. | By the time she reached adoles- cence, or perhaps before that, she would have been in a condition which would probably have made her a candidate for attention from some juvenile court. Her delinquencies might take any of a number of forms: thievery, deceit, sexual misconduct, cruelty, or mere incompetence to do le SHE had married later, she would have made a failure of marriage, and would probably have wrecked her children. And the possible alterna- tive to all this would have been a do-nothing attitude of passive in- difference and apathy—a_ lack of capacity for energetic conduct, either good or bad, social or anti-social. It fortunately happened, however, that Angelina’s parents moved into the Italian quarter of New Rochelle, . New York, within a few blocks of Columbus School. Columbus is a junior high school, and is part of the public school system of New Ro- chelle. Its pupils range in age from kindergarten years to what is gen- erally known as the “ninth grade.” It will probably be made a senior high school later. About 97 per cent. families who live in the neighborhood. And so Angelina was enrolled in Columbus School. This was very lucky for Angelina, because Columbus School happens to be the scene of an experiment which is in many respects unique in the field of public school education—though it has been tried out in a good many private schools. One important feature of the Colum- bus program is the salvaging of children like Angelina Ricci who, in public schools throughout this enlightened country, are permitted to go on sliding down hill into Moronia on the obviously stupid assumption that nothing can be done about it. At Columbus School, Angelina was put in a group of some thirty or forty backward children who, like her- ‘CHILDREN BRIGHT ( Bachrach) The brilliant success which has attended the educational innovations of Dr. Daniel R.

A smiling teacher, who evidently liked girls and boys, then began feeding Angelina two teaspoonfuls of cod-liver oil, followed each time with a spoonful of orange juice, three times a day. At first Angelina wasn’t sure she wanted any. It was in a big bowl on a tray with a lot of teaspoons and a pitcher of orange juice. But everybody else seemed to like it, and long before it came Angelina’s turn, she was sure she was going to like it too; and so she did. When the bowl was empty, somebody always wanted to scrape it clean; but one day a pussy-cat came into 2]

Twice a day Angelina had a big tumbler- ful of milk. You drank it down,. but not too fast; and after that you had another teaspoonful of orange juice. In addition to all this, Angelina had a lovely time. If she didn’t happen to know her lessons as well as some, why that didn’t seem to worry the teacher a bit. There weren’t any ““marks”’; nobody scolded; and there was a nice big man she met occasionally in the hall who knew her by name, and didn’t seem to be worried about her lessons either. Everybody called him Doc- tor Hodgdon; and it was Physical Calture for N ovember, 1930 Things went. along this way for quite awhile. They weighed Angelina every week, and they took her picture the first week. And on the wall the teacher put Angelina’s chart, along with a lot of other charts, with Angelina’s picture right be- side it. And every time Angelina got weighed the teacher would make a mark on the chart; and as the weeks went by, those funny lines zig-zagged up and down; but mostly they ran up hill as if they were in a hurry to get somewhere. There were figures at the side of the chart’ that. showed what the funny lines meant. They meant what you weighed. ‘The lines started at 43; -and in eight weeks they showed 45; and in twelve weeks they showed 4614.

Since Doctor Hodgdon seemed to think it important, Angelina privately decided that she would get all she could of it. - ORANGE JUICE AND MILK This graph shows the difference in the effectiveness of milk given alone as compared with the combination of orange : juice and milk in supplementary feeding, according to Doctor Hodgdon’s experience.

But it is when they get to fighting, after the manner of ener- - getic children everywhere, that we know the cure is complete. “As to Angelina, | ‘shie ‘is typical. We have dozens 23 just like her. They all respond to feeding, and among those five or six years old, the results are nothing short of miraculous. We have two of these subnormal groups at present.

But _the control system isn’t working out so well as it did, because the minute the parents see what is happening to the children who are being fed, they promptly begin with the cod-liver oil, milk, and orange juice at home; and the first thing we know our controls are—well, out of control. trols will show you something.” With that he took me into a room where there was a group of children of about the same age as those in Angelina’ Ss group. "They were engaged in much the same occupa- tions, but their classroom was a different world. There was no stir of activity and ‘movement, and there was none of the light mischief of child- hood. Instead uncannily still, and whatever was. done, the teacher had to dren was their drawn, strained faces, and the sleepy, heavy look in their eyes. Some Here is another instance of the change, not only physically, but mentally as well, as a result of supplementary feeding and im- proved hygienic conditions among New Rochelle school children.

For instance he prescribes special corrective exercises for such | faults as prominent shoulder-blades, spinal curvatures, uneven shoulders, flat chests, bad posture and the like; and we form groups according to the par- ticular faults to be dealt with. These are put through corrective twenty-minute drills three times a week, Mrs. Doris Kinsman taking the girls and Mr. Glennon Brown the boys. “Of course the drive we make on malnutrition applies all along the line, wherever (Continued on page 131) However, our present group of con- they sat still, squinted—a _ doit.

But he had little patience with the gay crowd of the resort, and was especially in- tolerant of Philip Davega, one of Sheila’s admirers. One night as Tony and Sheila sauntered through the town, they wandered into the Three Corsairs Inn, where doughty pirate captains and men-at-arms had once brawled, but which now was a curiosity shop. As she looked about under the appraising eyes of Pancha Mendoza, the proprietor, Sheila conceived the idea of purchasing an old parchment map about. which to weave a thrilling’ plot for a party her father was giving in honor of Mrs. Blake-Rice—a lady with designs upon the Currie name and fortune. On the map Sheila printed the fictitious location of buried treasure—staining the directions with coffee to give 24 iron. The men with the rifles were start- ing in their direc- tion.

Then as it all came back to her, she crawled slowly to her knees and reached out for some sup- port. Roe , | Her fingers found the edge of the desk and she pulled her- self up by it. Feeling for the switch of the lamp, she flooded the room with light. There was the chair overturned, the rug kicked out of place. Her chiffon gown was torn to shreds, and her hands were bleeding. The doors of the French windows still stood partly open, but the outer shutters were closed. She staggered toward them and saw that they were not locked. _ Mechanically she slipped the bolt..

She shuddered at the remembrance of their grip on her, and her fingers ruefully touched her badly swollen lip. Turn something else dawned on her. Sheila made a hasty search, beneath the desk, under the chair, and on the floor about her. The map she had put in the drawer was missing. ‘Tony’s shorthand note- book had been taken too! Was that the explanation— or could it be the map he was searching for? Sheila was too puzzled and dazed to think consecutively. At least she was glad that her father and Tony ‘had not been awakened. Of course, the burglar must have seen her as she came in from the veranda. Silhouetted in the moonlight, he would have been aware at once that she was only a girl—but he had not counted on Sheila’s more than boyish strength. That brought a smile to her pale face and she felt that some of the blows she had struck must have proved surprising. But if Tony or P. J. had come into the room, the burglar—if he « was one—might have used a gun. Sheila was suddenly grateful that only she had stumbled upon the intruder in the darkness. Otherwise, there might have been a corpse, instead of a badly mussed up girl, stretched out there on the floor. It must all have hap- pened quickly, although it was quite possible that the little noise they had made in the brief course of their struggle would not have been heard upstairs.

Now she must quickly determine what she had best do. If it were true that the man had come to steal the map of the island she had bought that evening, Sheila’s interest in the treasure hunt she had been eagerly planning was all the more acute. Sup- pose there should really be treasure there! Yet if her father, or even Tony, should make up their minds that the burglar had come in search of the chart, that would put a period to all of Sheila’s plans. The thing that she would like to do would be to keep it from them. But, darn it all, she couldn’t! In the first place, the map was missing. Tony, of course, had seen it, and they could not very well

It was some- par more important that troubled Sheila now. The fact that Tony’ s notebook was missing might be serious. She supposed there were people who would go to any length to get information in advance of her father’s financial moves. Such a possibility seemed rather melodramatic—the sort of thing one expected to happen in plays and books. Yet she had heard that in Washington, just as in mystery stories, there were secret agents who moved in the best society and telephoned’ bits of gossip to. brokers who made use of their tips on the stock ex- © That, of course, might be equally true here | change. in Florida. But Sheila’s vivid memory of this man’s brute strength hardly suggested that he’d be employed _-ehide Her too. on any such delicate mission. That wasn’t the point, however. Tony had not sent off, perhaps some other stenographer could read his notes and outwit P. J. on some pending deal. it was all her fault! In the first place, she had dragged him off to the beach that afternoon. If that map was what the burglar sought, it was she who had put it in the drawer of Tony’s desk. And it was she who had gone out and left the library open. P. J. would be furious at her for venturing off alone at night, and Tony would Nevertheless, she realized that she Besides, she could - If there should be important letters that suddenly dawned on her. Then Tony would naturally be blamed—and . ar must tell them quickly—exactly what had happened. ‘Then if it did make a difference, and that darned old notebook was important after all, any responsibility would be placed where it belonged. Then, too, it was barely possible that if Tony knew in time,.he could do something about it, and her friend the burglar. would have taken his pains in vain. | Sa Yes, she decided, the thing to do was to wake up Tony at once. P. J. need not be aware of it | unless Tony should decide that he must be told. So Sheila put out the desk-lamp and_ tiptoed out to the hall. For several mo- ments she listened, but nothing disturbed the stillness. Then she cautiously made her way upstairs and tapped on Tony’s door. As she heard him stirring inside, the grandfather’s clock in the lower hall chimed out two o’clock. © Sheila glanced along the corridor, but there was no sound of wake- fulness from her father’s room. Tony’s door opened quickly, and Sheila stepped over the threshold. She closed the door softly and stood with her back against it. | Tony had thrown a dressing- gown over his pajamas, and now in the light from the bed-lamp, he observed with’ surprise that Sheila was still fully dressed. The faint illumination did not reveal the tattered state of her simple evening frock. “Were =you whispered. “Sound,” he said. ‘“‘What’s pion Stee bevit on earth are you doing—?” ‘“‘Shush!’ she warned and edged close to him. ‘“‘Tell me, Tony, was there—anything important in your she asleep: i notebook—the one down in your desk?”’ *““Notebook?”’ he repeated, evidently puzzled by her air of mystery. ‘Why yes—and no,” he answered. | “There were the notes of that Blandford deal.

Then he noticed the bruises on her arms and her blood-smeared lip. “Sheila, dear! What has happened? Tell me, are you hurt?” “Will you sit down and keep quiet?”’ she demanded peremptorily. Then she led him to the window seat and took her place beside him. “Before I tell you, promise something. You're only to speak to Father about what is necessary. (Continued on page 120) —

Have You f that Vital, - ~ Successful Look? “After many years of hiring and firing men, I’ve made up my mind that it is vitality that one is buying.”’ Would You Give Yourself a Job on Your Appearance? How an Office Manager Tests the Men He Hires OR some years I have been firmly convinced that the greatest asset a man can have in business, and the best impression possible to make on others, is that of physical and mental vitality. I once worked for a man whom we all thought was a crank, because of his many individual ways and standards. But we had to admit that he got results. One of his “peculiar’’ ideas was his way of “sizing up” people. He had his desk out in the general open office (a plan which business has now gradually ap- proved), and his desk was so placed that when ‘anyone came to visit him, after having been announced by. phone, he could see the person long before that person could see him. In that minute or two he observed a great deal about the man, and was far better acquainted with him than if the man had suddenly opened a door into his office. _ He explained his idea to me one day. “The minute that most men meet you they put on something of a 28 false character,” he said, “especially if they are looking for a job or trying to sell you something. It isn’t any- thing dishonest—it’s the natural tendency to ‘put their best foot forward’; to act a part, to give you the maximum impression of themselves. They sort of screw themselves up to a pitch or a personality which they believe will impress you. This may be very human and very natural, but it makes a problem for the man who must judge such a person. In the first place, he usually affects a great deal more alertness and vitality than he really has in his day-to-day activities. He knows instinctively that people are impressed with aliveness, vitality, and power. He then proceeds to act them, whether he has them or not; and I have dis- covered that the more a person lacks them, the more likely they are to try to impress you with these qualities. “So,” my boss continued, “if I can see them before they see me, I can judge them pretty well on this one point alone. Their walk gives them dead away, as a

The loafer, the incom- petent, the bluffer, the ne’er-do-well, the sport, the rounder and_ the floater and the matcon- tent—they simply can’t help betraying something of their true characters as they come up the long aisle, where I can _ see them from top to toe for a distance of fifty feet, when they do not . think they are observed. I have no doubt that there’s nothing very scien- tific in my idea, but it’s surprising, just the same, kev few tataken I make.” I quizzed my boss further on this matter of vitality which:he stressed. “After a good many years of hiring and fits men,” he said, “one has a pretty fair idea of what it really is that he is buying. I’ve made up my mind that it’s I’ve hired, against my judgment, a lot of men on their ability, on their record, which seemed to contradict my impression of a lack of vitality. Then I discovered in most instances that I should have followed my judgment. They had ability, —— John Patterson called a convention of em- ployees’ wives only to discuss the physical 29 Cartoons By Adam John Barth all right, but there was a. screw loose in their ma- chinery, and it came out usually that what they needed was a long rest in a sanitarium, or a settling of their emotional problems, or some open air exercise, or a change in their habits of eating or drinking. Each one of these fatal handicaps I might have uncovered if I had ignored their credentials and made a man-to-man judgment on the basis of their vitality.” My own business ex- perience absolutely cor- roborates that of my former employer. A year or two ago a man came to me with a letter from one of my friends, prais- es ing him to the skies for his ability, his honesty, etc. I needed a man of just such ability—but I couldn’t argue away an impression I had that the man was lacking in power and vitality. I knew I would have to load him with an unconscion- able burden of responsibility in a new branch of our work, and I just couldn’t make my mind accept this man as physically and nervously capable of carrying that burden. He had given me a rather limp hand- shake; he looked flabby and without physical staying power.

> I hope the girl I am to marry will be able to play with me in my hours of play. I want her to be as fond of the outdoors as | am. I want her to find happiness in natural things (1. Armstrong Roberts) FEW years ago, I knew a girl, whom I shall call Jane. I was invited to her home on the occasion of her return from college, and I don’t mind confessing that I liked her a lot. I think she liked me, too, and though things between us were on a pleasant, friendly basis, I had the feeling that they were moving toward some- thing more personal and important. The night of her party I happened to be present near a punch bowl in an alcove, when Jane’s mother said something to her, out of the best of motives, that dis- pleased Jane. She turned angrily upon her mother and talked to her in a way that made my ears burn with 30 shame and embarrassment. And it was a bitter decision I reached finally. ““Well,’’ I thought, “if she can treat her mother like that upon so slight a pretext, how will she treat me after we are married?” I said good-by. the next day, and I never saw her again. That was a rather arbitrary way to end a budding romance, you might say; unfair to judge Jane’s disposi- tion by one incident. Perhaps it was. But the little byplay seemed to indicate a trait which threatened the happiness of married life. And I believe if more at- tention were given to these little signposts of character before marriage, the chances for success in this most

9 by ATER SFI Does One Usually Find the Girl He Wants, or Does He Just Want the Girl He Finds? By A STILL SEARCHING BACHELOR important of all human relations-would be much greater. It isn’t easy, of course, to blueprint human char- acter. Quite often, all we have to go by is-externals, those surface values of things that indicate what is hidden beneath, like an eddy or a whirl on the surface of a swift-moving stream. Often, too, these same ex- ternals may seem like little things, trifles, as it were; but we have Michael Angelo’s word for it that trifles make the most necessary, of human characteristics. So because it is all-important, let us take it, practically, for granted. We'll assume that the man who is to marry is sufficiently guided by his inner judgment not to choose a wife who is essentially disloyal to him. If he does, he has struck life’s sorriest bargain. Usually, however, he doesn’t, or life would be a very, sad affair. But although ree is all-important, it is not, fre- perfection, and perfection, as he further took pains to point out, is indeed no trifle. Thus, finger- ol that exist in a perpetual state of mourning may be no great fault in itself in the girl of our dreams. It may merely denote the careless- ness of a large nature, en- grossed in other and more important things. But it is a condition that is likely to jar discordantly upon the sensibilities of one whose passion is neatness and cleanliness. On the other hand, such a shortcoming may pass wholly unnoticed by the Yes, Some Men Have Married This Kind of. Girl WeE HAVE no doubt that many sharp-witted feminine readers will be asking what this bachelor author intends to offer in return for the perfection he is looking for in the girl that he would be willing to marry. ‘That, however, is beside the point. For this is still a searching analysis of one of the most in- teresting of human problems. People, of course, marry when they are optimistic, however pessimistic and cynical they may later become. And yet many married men will tell you that they have found just this perfect kind of girl. Some will say it and mean it. Others will be diplo- matic. In any case you will find great in- terest in this writer's observations, and in some of his personal experiences with young women, quently, enough. There are other considerations involved’ in wife-choosing that have a great deal to do with making marriage either a failure or a suc- cess. Understand, how- ever, that in this imaginary list of qualities I am con- cerned with character and nothing else. These things which I shall name have nothing to do with whether the girl I am to marry be blonde or brunette, slim or stout, beautiful or plain. I shall assume that she is not ugly, and that her limbs, as Limcoln said a person’s legs should be, are long enough to reach party of the first part. His eyes may be seeing greater visions, his mind dreaming fairer dreams. So _ this means that we have got to do our partner picking strictly according to our own individual lights, and choose her not as the book tells us, but rather as our interests and inclinations, our likes and our dislikes, dictate. So I am concerned now with outlining my own list of qualifications, for inasmuch as J shall have to live with her, I am seeing this problem solely through my own eyes, and am striving to find the golden girl who shall constitute for me an ideal partner in the married state, by my own lights alone. I am particular about this, for I realize that the wrong girl may do a lot to wreck and ruin what chances for happiness and success [ may have in life. I have every intention of taking a good long look before I leap. Here, therefore, are the things I want to know about the girl I am to marry. Is she loyal and enduring, tender, sacrificing and trustful? Has she stability of character that will not flinch and turn yellow at ad- versity? Is she wholesome of mind and body, with good the qualities which health and an even disposition, and are her habits and > instincts such as to inspire worship and not repugnance?

For the rest, her charms shall be name- less, and I shall be con- cerned solely with the basic values of her health, her mind and her character, as well as the little traits that distinguish one individual from another. For reasons which I shall presently explain, I place physical well-being next of those things I want to know. about the girl lam to marry. By physical well-being I mean good health and a freedom from any constitu- We may fairly assume, I think, that the —Tue Eprror. itarian motives urge that we refrain from bringing sickly or defective children into the world. Father and mother, therefore, should qualify for this great role by a state of health which 1 is beyond reproach. | For this reason, I can’t help but begin by wanting to know if she is essentially sound in health—if her physical history is free from the blight of tuberculosis and the scourge of any possible blood taint. Are her parents and her grandparents living and in the full possession of their faculties? Or is there a taint of insanity here that may erupt again in the next generation but one, which will be the generation of my children? | It seems then that the science of eugenics does after all provide us with some sort (Continued on page 136) 31

The poor girl was in a really deplorable condition. She sat on the edge of the chair like one ready to spring up and run at any moment. Her mouth twitched inter- mittently, as though she had St. Vitus’ dance. She twisted the wisp of a hand- kerchief between her fingers until the webby linen looked like a strand of rag. When the outside bell rang, she _ started as though someone had suddenly struck her across the face with a whip. I reached over and patted her hand soothingly. ~ “Come, my dear,” I said, “calm yourself, and tell me about it. Just pull yourself together now, and begin at the beginning.” “Well, Doctor, here I am, Physical Reasons for Mental Depressions IN THIS very interesting article, a physician gives the story of a girl whose ‘depressions’ were completely eradicated by a general bodily housecleaning. The _ detoxicating program had cleared her mind of fog when she returned to normal, just as the waters of a brook are cleared of mud when the stream gets back to normal after a storm. Psychiatrists and physicians generally now recognize that mental and emo- tional welfare is chiefly an expression of bodily health and vigor.

I was a per- fectly healthy, normal child until I was about fourteen. Then I found that I was be- coming easily excited.

I try hard enough, but it’s no use. ‘The slightest thing upsets me. Often for no reason at all I fly up and become almost hysterical with anger, or it may be resentment at the condition of my mind that makes me act this way.’ : “How do you know it’s the condition of your mind? I interrupted. “Well, what else would make me nag and worry the way I do?” she answered, impatiently. “I tell you, 32 foraterm. But I was saturated with that foolish com- petitive system they drum into school children. I insisted on remaining in school, and in doing the same amount of silly home work and the senseless twice-a- term cramming for exams that all the other girls did. ‘The year before I graduated from high school I went to smash.

This is a flexibility ex- ercise with light dumb- bells. Study the position: arms outstretched and crossing the line of the feet. Now swing the arms to right angles of former position (now in line with the feet) and . bend the knees, sinking down on the heels and squeezing the dumb- bells. A happy, snappy, peppy movement FTER a breakdown in health which was at- tributed to overwork, a well-known professor of science in a college in Pennsylvania went to a specialist for an analysis of his condition. He was in the prime of life, his age hardly more than thirty-six, yet the thorough research and check-up revealed that he was an old man. The specialist stated in no uncertain terms that he had only a short time to live and had better make preparations for it. Such an illuminating commentary has doomed many men, but not the professor. From that day on, something began to stir in his soul. His whole being became consecrated to the purpose of living and he set out with the intent to thwart death. He joined a country club and religiously went to work with the golf instructor. | : “Think this game will help me any?” he asked apologetically. “Oh sure, it'll help you, but you need real exercise. You must learn how to stand straight and breathe. You get too winded from the least exertion. What you should do is—”’ The instructor proceeded to tell him all about a friend of his who owned an establishment where prize- fighters and the like trained. The poor professor, hav- ing always had the tendency to believe the other fellow, permitted himself to be piloted to this estab- 36 Ee | | One of the Important Things You Should Find Out for Yourself— About Yourself— By JACK RUSSELL lishment where arrangements for training were made with a_ squat man who fairly “dripped with muscle.”’ Atfirst, most of his ex- ercises were taken with a view toward bettering his digestion. Then he learned to sit and walk and breathe cor- rectly. In an amazingly short time the whole shape of his body changed. His chest, being always held up, commenced to grow that way. His back, being always held flat, acquired a natural flatness. All the muscles on the lower half of his body be- came more and more visible as they steadily increased in size. The first power that came to him as a result
Page 39
ENOUGH EXERCISE of his new posture habits was the ability to lift his chest and swell it out; likewise to draw himself in at the waist. ; His muscles at the start were stiff from disuse; they lacked. size from lack of proper nourishment; so when he started he was not only shoulder-bound | and hip-bound, but his rib-box was bound down so that it had no freedom of movement and his spine was bound into fixed curves by the inelastic muscles attached to it. But as he used his muscles to con- trol his posture, they became alive, and with each passing day he could raise his chest a bit higher; could make his body look more like that of an athlete. Soon there came the dawning of a new energy. By the time summer arrived he was equal to nine holes of golf without so much as a whimper. Also he found that he had worked up of them overdo exer- cise. Progressive bar- bell exercises build up the body to a splendid degree and give strength, but they also create an irresistible desire to go in for heavy lifting and feats of strength which only strain the body rather than benefit it. But my friend, heedless of my advice and inspired by a foolhardy zeal which took slight account of ‘the dangers of over- exercise and heavy lifting, became the victim of heart trouble as a result of a severe strain and had to abandon further exercise. He lapsed into a state of All Poses by the Author an enormous appe- tite, something which he had not done in years. Ap- praising his appear- ance critically, he was certain. that there was no doubt his shoulders had straightened, the flabby flesh had har- dened and there was a tingling all through him as of senses come to life. ' As time went on, not content with a body merely _ nor- mally fit, he became enamored of my own unusual physical strength. On seeing this on your back.

38 inactivity and from the day he stopped his. rigorous training, he declined so rapidly that by the end of a few months he was back to his original and natural state of weakness. He became ill and after a fight for life which lasted nearly five months, in which time he received twenty blood transfusions, he died. There is something radically wrong with the way many young . men go in for physical train- ing. A young man — and ath- letes should be young — after training hard for some time and getting into perfect condition is very apt to discontinue all exercise after a strenuous season and so puts on a great deal of fat very quickly. He has been keeping himself fit by the most severe kind of exer- cise, which has developed his appetite as well as his muscles. When he stops training his appetite con- tinues and immediately fat accumulates, and it ac- cumulates not only around the intestine and abdomen, but around all the muscles, especially around the main muscle of all—where it is most dangerous—the heart. It is compara- tively easy to take off abdominal fat, but it is extremely difficult and ex- tremely painful to take off fat that has accumulated around the heart. In fact, the mo- ment a man begins seriously to train for this purpose, any prolonged exercise ex- hausts him and he feels very ill. The Here is another very stimulating and energiz- ing exercise of a some- what athletic nature. From the lower position, feet and hands on the floor, spring upward as in the upper position, throwing the arms for- ward and upward, but bring them back. and down quickly for your return to earth. Itisa snappy exercise hphaoe If the ordinary floor dip is a bore, try this variation. Start as in the lower photograph with elbows bent and with the entire body clearing the floor. pushing up, swing the left leg and arm high even “punching” upward with the arm. Same with the right arm and leg heart, lacking its accus- tomed support, sags, labors, and the man feels faint and sick. For a couple of months, at any rate, the: athlete must go on exercis- ing under a constant cloud of sickness and weakness that is apt to bring him to despair. But if he continues, the fat will come off and in a certain time, say six months, he will begin to feel fit and well and strong again and increasingly. fit and strong as time goes on; though in my opinion, he will never be quite as good again as he was before the fat accumu- lated around the heart. The case of a famous sprinter occurs to me.. He had stopped exercising for some time, but was called out when America prepared for the last Olympic games and though. he was still, as he thought, very fit, the clock

He got to within ‘a half second of his record time, but could not improve it, and was beaten in the tryouts by younger men who had never been out of training. A short while ago, I decided to go in for competitive | wrestling after a year of idleness from participation in it. The club I represented decided to enter me in the. 135-pound class. My normal weight is around 145 pounds. I had just three weeks to get into condition and firmly believed it could be done without strain. But anxious to make a showing, I overdid things, for I became violently ill from the effects of prolonged steam baths, overexercise and not enough water for the system, in order to reduce the extra weight. This foolhardy method taught me a great lesson. Oneean- not overdo things without paying for it. It is stupid to doubt the beneficial effects of exercise, but things carried to the extreme lose their virtue; exercise too violent and too long continued defeats its own purpose. The best way for the amateur wrestler, of course, is never to go out of training, strictly to limit what he drinks with his meals and prevent himself from ever going up more than a pound or two, but if he has put on weight the best way of taking it off is not to go into physical training at once, but to begin This is similar to the horizon- tal floor springing shown on the opposite page, except that instead of throwing the arms forward this time throw them. up sideways when making the horizontal leap from the floor. In both these exercises you may be able to lift the body only an inch or two at first, with very little arm action by cutting out all drinking with his meals. Half an hour before a meal and two hours afterward, he should drink nothing. In a month, he will be lighter than he ever was, probably even more so than he was in his first training, and then he can begin by careful exer- cise and very careful feeding to increase his strength once more and get himself per- fectly fit. Anyone can find out what Alternate - — gt ee PRRs ten Aa kinds of exereises should be. taken and what kinds should not be taken. ‘There is no mystery about getting into condition or acquir- ing strength.

No man can ever acquire strength by doing heavy manual labor or spending too much of his: _ time in a gymnasium; neither can he get results by training in fits and starts.

I was scolded and petted and spanked and kissed almost in ‘the same minute. Way I had caused such a com- motion, I couldn’t understand. I think _ it was in that mo- - ment that my dear mother realized that nothing could. prevent me from becoming a dancer. It was her under- - standing heart that helped to combat the opposition of ) the entire family and at last win the battle to dance professionally. I don’t know whether the modern American girl can understand the feelings of a conventional conti- nental family. . My father, in his small city, was a rich man. My mother’s family—the Pedrones and the Montis—were distinguished. My grandfather was a judge in the Court of Modena. My grandmother had danced at court as a guest of the king and my great- grandmother had upon more than one occasion danced with the King of Modena at official parties. A daughter, brought up in this tradition, to be per- mitted to dance professionally on the stage! It was unthinkable. Like the other children of Spezia, I was sent to the convent at Sarzana.

Not every girl can dance professionally—I don’t mean that. Had I remained in Italy, I would never have been permitted to study for the stage. But in my seventh year my father met business reverses. ‘He decided to sell everything in Italy and begin life anew in America. So Mother and Father came over here, leaving us children in school. They promised to return soon and take us there. I remember my mother’s one fear in coming to America. She had been warned that she would have to ride horse- back everywhere, as she had been told all the people in America were cowboys and that it was ~ a wild country. Imagine her surprise when she diseovered that the buildings in America were even taller than those in Italy, and that there were carriages which would drive without horses to pull them. Her letters were full folded hands at the long table, while the other girls ate their hot steam- ing food. At noon the second day, I re- volted. I was hungry. I was be- ing punished for dancing. My mother let me dance when there was music. I eouldn’t understand why I should be punished for doing something my own mother per- mitted. That day I committed my first and last theft. I stole two biscuits from the plate of bread as it was being passed. I stuffed them into the front of my little uniform. As I left the dining room, I slipped away. For a few minutes I ran as fast as I could. There was a little onion patch, I knew, where the sisters would never think of looking for me!

But inside of a few months, we had though especially picked up English and were happy in our new home. > ea Biol wie The thing that amazed me most of all was the fact not to mention the that the children were allowed to dance in school! We work of the shoul- even had dancing classes in which we were taught dere endl eres steps. Every year there was a recital to which our parents were invited and | was selected to do a dance. How proud I was. How I loved this country where little girls were praised when they danced nicely, instead of being punished! I will never forget how excited I was when I first saw the great Pavlowa dance. My heart just turned over with joy as I watched her and I could hardly breathe with excitement of it all. And when Domina Marino, the soloist that year with Pavlowa, came to our house to pay us a - Visit, my joy knew no bounds. She saw at once that I loved dancing. She showed me some of the ballet steps. How quickly I followed them. She told my mother that I was a born dancer and that I should begin serious study- ing at once. Mother won my father’s consent. It was at this time that my health was so wretched. Up un- til this time, I had always been consid- ered the “frail” child of the family. But that first winter that I at- tended dancing school regu- larly,;my parents found that my health rapidly improved. Personally I think that ballet dancing is the most beneficial be- cause it uses every muscle of the body, and from the very beginning coordination’ of mind and body is taught. Since this is one of the basic laws of success in life as well as dancing, learning to make the mind control the body is of utmost impor- tance. Dancing brings out the natural grace and charm which is every woman’s right. I was only eleven years old when I was admitted to the Metropolitan Opera House ballet school. I was the youngest pupil. Two years later I was made soloist in the ballet and an understudy to Mme. Galli. For a season I was soloist with Pavlowa, my childhood idol. . 7 , I was with Albertina Rasche for a season and then when oe eS oe raged a tee ane yi a I went to the Capitol Theater as premier dancer and circle.

I next heard of him when he wrote me a letter from Glacier Park, Montana, thanking me for the advice I had given him and saying that he was then serving as assistant to the cook in a Glacier Park camp in order to replenish his bank roll before continuing his hike. The boy was on his way—for better or for worse.

There was a iiiaies in his cheek, There was a hardness in his eye— As tf the man had fixed his face | In many a solitary place Against the wind and open sky. His name was Ed Burzinski, and sitting in my office he told me his ‘story. As a very small boy he had been put to bed with a “leaky heart,’ and the doctors ‘had said the chances were all against his living to grow up and that if he did live he would never be able to take any physical exer- ‘eise because of the condition of his heart. ‘4 4E SAID he could hear it gur- ‘gling as he lay in bed. ._Then one day he was handed a maga- zine to read, and in it he read an rticle by Bernarr Macfadden ‘on the health benefits of walking and hiking. The result was that ‘when he was able to get out he ‘started to take short walks, ‘gradually imcreasing the, length of these walks.

Eventually he took week-end hiking trips into the country, camping out over night. He felt his strength growing, and he en- joyed the outdoors, so the time came when he resolved to start out on a two years’ hike to see the country and build up his health. He had set himself a goal of 25,000 miles—and here he was with nearly ten thousand miles of the distance behind him and radiating good health to such an extent that it attracted attention.

Then he requested a favor of me. “I'd dike to meet “Mr. Mac- fadden,” he said, “‘because it was. his advice that saved my life— and I want to thank him.” This was granted, and after getting Mr. Macfadden’s signa- ture in a little book he carried that already contained the auto- graphs of state governors, city mayors, and others to which he expected to add that of Herbert Hoover when he reached Wash- ington, he was on his way again saying that he was going to hike down to Florida and then up through some of the middle- western states that he hadn’t yet been in so that he would visit every state in United States.

(Af the left) The gypsy type, the cuddly type and the sophisticated type as suggested respectively by Myrna Loy, Sue Carol and Kay Francis HIS month’s discussion was suggested to me by aman. Knowing that I manage a sort of personally-conducted-tour-to-charm in this magazine he told me recently, quite gravely, that he did hope I advised girls to see that the seams of their stockings were straight and that they didn’t let their heels run down! “Almost every man,” he said, “if the truth be known, looks first at feet and ankles,” ‘and he added, “‘and so forth! High stilt heels, stockings wrinkled around shoe or ankle, and crooked seams are sure to attract the male glance— ~ elsewhere!” He then-went on to say that more men than we realize appreciate ~ good grooming ina woman. “Half of us don’t know the color a girl is wearing © and few of us can guess at the cost of her outfit but we all know when she is neatly and becomingly and suitably dressed,” he warned me. And then he burst out in a perfect tirade against the girl who goes out to luncheon, tea-dance or dinner with a man and spends most of her time roug- ing, lipsticking, haireombing and powdering. ‘“‘Modern times or not,’ he told me, “‘there isn’t a man on earth who enjoys that sort of publicity for his girl! Men get embarrassed, they get irritated, they wish themselves—or the girl—a thousand miles away! If a girl can’t put on an enduring make-up or finish her grooming at home, can’t she withdraw to a rest room or something ~ and repair the damage? Must she always be doing it in the theater, the movies, at a table in a restaurant or inacar? Men hate it.” He had too often, he said bitterly, sat beside girls in public places who insisted on “combing their hair all over him,” as he expressed it. ‘“‘And certainly,” he added, “my sisters were brought up never to touch their hair at meals.” (Continued on page 139) 48

Decoration by ROBERT A. CAMERON OME people find life very boresome. It be-. comes monotonous to them—just one commonplace thing after another. Each day is like that which preceded it. The years roll by and nothing inter- rupts the humdrum routine. - Such people rarely stop to consider the cause of their inability to make life interesting. They are too dull intellectually to ask such a question. They fall in a rut early in life and they just grope along, day after day, feeling somehow that their lot cannot be changed, that the particular sphere into which they have been thrust must be endured, on to the end. Now life can be a series of thrilling experiences or it can be a dull, sordid, meaningless routine. To a large extent we are the arbiters. We decide very early what sort of a life we should live. We may not consciously make this decision; we give little or no thought to our environment. Most people accept their fate just as it comes to them. They make but little effort to change their environment. They just automatically fall into a routine. They take the easiest road. Then there are other ambitious, determined spirits that give a vast amount of thought to themselves— their personalities. They delve into the future. They study tke problems essential for their own ad- vancement. They decide to develop their own life instead of allowing it to be evolved by circumstances which they do not try to control. Then there are some people who live with their senses keen and alert. They are alive—vividly so—to every experience with which they come in contact. They feel things with great intensity. They are keenly awake to every influence that life brings to them. It is people with characters of this kind who enjoy life to the full, pro- vided they have the essential intelli- gence to control its gradual evolvement. To be extremely sensitive, with keen reactions to every phase of life, does not necessarily indicate that you are capable of securing the greatest degree of enjoyment, but it naturally makes you more alive and awake to the ex-
Page 53
ORTH BERNARR MACFADDEN’S Personal Message periences with which you come in contact. You should be more able to acquire the knowledge essen- tial to guide your activities profitably and happily. And if you find that you are dull and slow in your mental and physical reactions, such an inclination can usually be changed by cultivating the physical and mental forces. A brain that is slow in action can be made more keen and acute by certain mental exercises. A body that is phlegmatic can be materially quickened in its processes by a proper course of physical up- building. In other words, you can be made more keenly alive mentally and physically through an in- tense development of these two important forces. And this is not a simple problem by any means, though it becomes easy after one has solved the . general routine essential for the cultivation of the bodily powers in their entirety. One can usually tell by the mere appearance of an individual the character of his reactions to life’s experiences. Heavy-built people are usually slow mentally and physically. They are the draft-horse type; though there are a few exceptions to this rule. The long cultivation of one’s mentality will often so SSS quicken intellectual alertness that a phlegmatic body does not in any way interfere with quick thinking that is accurate and dependable. But to make life really worth while one must find his sphere, pick out the niche in which he or she snugly fits. You cannot fit a round peg into a square hole. You must select a hobby—any activity in which you can be keenly interested, something into which you can throw your whole soul—work or play that arouses your keenest interest. It may be capable of being made financially profit- able. And if thlat is necessary you have made a great discovery. Your life work can ke your hobby, some- thing that you can play at all day long every day. Then you are truly in a position to make life richly worth while, capable of being made profitable to me last degree. | We all have to think of the necessity for fnsheak gain to the extent essential to bring the comforts of life, and we cannot afford to ignore this fundamental — principle. And these important factors cannot be obtained — without the full recognition of the fundamental prin- ciples on which depends the building of a fine, vigorous.” body. We must be strong men, or splendidly vital women, in order to attain the rewards that life offers us so bountifully. You cannot feel keenly unless you possess this super health. You are but little more than a drone if you lose the vitality which is your inherent right. When we look at the animals that we find away from the influence of civilized man, they seem to find existence satisfactory. Life to them at times seems — to be little more than a joy fest. Their entire time is given up to the search for food, to the thrilling joys of the mating season, to the responsibilities associated with the rearing of families. There are few complica- tions in their lives. It all seems so simple, so well laid out—fully prepared. They follow the demands of ice innate instincts. They have no complicated | problems that require unusual acumen ‘to solve. Inheritance has brought them the instinctive powers that pro- tect them in practically every emer- gency. — (Continued on page 108)

Returning there by a iuadabout route, Taylor noticed a barge from which smoke was curling upward.

The Spaniard told him that he was smuggling arms into Mexico, and that he believed Taylor was a spy in the service of the U. S. Intelligence Department. Ateca ordered a firing squad on deck. In the meantime, Clare—with the use of some tools found in the cabin—had sawed a hole in the floor and crawled out from under the building.

She breathed slowly and carefully. His oe body could be felt in the darkness within five feet of her position. She waited with increasing wonder at his silence and patience. It seemed an hour from the time he stopped at the step until he turned from the cabin and began to move toward the northern end of the island. The clouds were now drifting swiftly and stars began to appear. By their light the girl could see the figure slowly moving through the shadows. Instantly her mind was made up to follow him to his house, confront him and demand her release. That he had a house somewhere on the island was now a certainty, and she determined to find out where it was. Se She followed with in- stinctive care and cun- ning. When he stopped, she stopped.

He stopped in an open starlit space beyond a heavy line of trees and stood for a long time as if studying the heavens. She could see by the bulk of his figure that he was a man of more than average height and heavily built. To attack him successfully she must depend on her wits, not on sheer strength. She purpose to approach. Something had _hap- pened to change his pro- gram. He seemed to be prowling about the island like a lost animal. It sud- denly occurred to her that he had brought no supplies. The darkness was so intense it seemed impossible that man or beast could hold a pathway through the jungle on such a night. Perhaps he had not left the staid during the entire day. The thought filled her with a, sickening fear. Tt was possible that he lived in another house on the island!, The ground was high and dry enough to grow a rich garden. She had thought of his making a trip through the Swamp to reach her prison. Yet the leisurely way in which he was now strolling among the trees indicated that he was at home, although the cabin gave no evidence of constant use.

With joy she heard him at last moving toward the kitchen porch on which she stood.

He turned and started back to the cabin. After all, he might put himself in the position she had planned for her attack. Yet he was so close it would be mad- ness to attempt to reach the cabin first. He would hear her and she would be compelled to confront him in the open. He stopped within a few feet of ihe ‘tree trunk against which she leaned. She held her breath and listened. If he talked now she could hear him distinctly and get'a possible clew to his identity. He held his silence for interminable minutes, moved slowly toward the cabin, stopped short of the door, turned and retraced his steps, again passing within three feet of her position. He walked slowly toward the north end ot the island again in the opposite direction from the cabin.

The graveled walk could be easily followed through the deepest shadows of the trees. She stopped occasionally and listened to the slow tread of the feet before her and stealthily followed.

merge eh. iG. oe ; oi enone Sor al | Sr, aS, oS N THE last five years, the white man’s world has rediscovered the sun. But it isn’t the white man’s world any longer— it is the tan man’s world. White was always a misnomer. There never was a white man except a few of our politicians who have been white- washed, and that rubs off pretty easy. We of the so- called white race are naturally tan in color, with an infinite variety of shades variously approaching our Indian, Oriental and South Sea Island brothers. This pale-faced sallowness we have been accustomed to wear for the centuries of dark ages was always an. unhealthy bleached condition. It related to our true and healthy natural color exactly as the sickly whitish yellow of a potato plant that has sprouted in the cellar relates to the emerald green of a plant growing in the field. We have been bleached for nearly two thousand years and we thought that it made us beautiful—and moral. What it did was to make us puny and ill. But that’s all over now. The sun has come back to earth to stay and sun-tan is our future color, condition and freedom from servitude to ignorance, illness and prudery. There is‘no argument about it now except the details of how to adjust the new knowledge, new health and new life of a tanned race to the limitations of climate, custom and circumstance of our artificial lives. The problems we still have to consider in regaining and keeping this new tan and new health include matters of housing and clothing, of season and climate, and of what still remains of mock modesty, prudery and bigotry. | Most of us live in the temperate zone, from 30 to 60 degrees north (or south) of the equator. And the sun, for all its virtues, has one serious fault. It wabbles back ° and forth across the equator. Children who go to school say it is the earth that wabbles. But, whichever wab- bles, the sun on Christ- mas morning gets up late and never gets very far up even at noon.

At Seattle its maximum rise on a December day is only 19 degrees, in London or Berlin oniy 14 degrees, | which is less than a sixth of its full tropical zenith height. | es There is no such thing as undiminished sunlight on this earth because the atmosphere always acts as a filter. The thickness of the earth’s atmosphere, figured at the sea-level density, is about ten miles. Therefore the tropical sunshine at midday has about ten miles of atmosphere to travel through. As compared with that ten-mile atmosphere, the winter sun even at midday must travel through 23 miles of atmosphere to reach New York, 32 miles to reach Seattle and 41 miles to reach London or Berlin. | But that’s only the least of the defects of the winter sun. Atmosphere alone may stop but little of its rays, but mists and clouds and soot and smoke may stop them all. Worse yet, we live in cities and not only fill the air with smoke but with buildings casting shadows. Believe it or not, Al Smith’s new Empire State building in New York at noon on Christmas day will cast a shadow over half a mile long! At Seattle it would make a mile, and at Oslo or Leningrad, a six-mile shadow. The winter days are short, the sun is hung low in the sky, it is cloudy or foggy much of the time, the cities are smoky, the buildings are tall, the streets are narrow, the windows are opaque to the sun’s best rays, the is too cold for most people to wear their weather

But worst of all, the only time the sun is shining is in the few hours when most of us are chained to the desk or the machine in- ‘doors where sunlight doesn’t exist and the rules of business etiquette still require us to keep 95 per cent. of our skin covered. So sun-tan in the winter has about as much chance as the proverbial snowball in hell. What is the result? Illness is more frequent in winter, and the greater the factors that shut sun rays away. from people the greater is this rise in winter illness and winter mortality. We used to blame the cold for -this unhealthfulness of the winter months that causes _and loaf on the beach all winter. the rising incidence of illness and deaths which cul- minates toward the end of winter and at the beginning of spring. But our new knowledge shows us that low temperature has little or nothing to do with it, but that the major factor is lack of sun rays on the human skin. What then to do about it and how to regain this healthful factor of which a tanned skin is the visible evidence? One answer is to get rich and go to Miami But the more people who do that, the poorer the rest of us are going to be, so it isn’t a real solution at all for the race. Therefore we call in the scientists and inventors who have made us what we are today and ask them to solve this problem. And their solution is the sun-lamp—the artificial sun _ that enables us to keep both our jobs and our sun-tan _ the year round. It’s a rather marvelous thing, this se Hele It shines in the winter as brightly as in the summer. It shines in cloudy weather and in dark and murky cities. It shines by night as well as by day. It can even shine in the bathroom with the keyhole plugged for timid souls who are afraid to take their shirts off in any other locality. I have only one objection to the sun-lamp and that is that it enables the sour prude to be as tanned and healthy as any. happy maid who ever danced in the gardens of ancient Athens—or any crippled child who was ever healed by that greatest of all twentieth cen- tury miracle workers, Dr. A. Rollier, of Leysin, Switzer- land. Some sun-worshippers may question ‘his statement that scientists with their lamps can match the sun. I question it myself. I rather hope that real sun shining through clear mountain air will never be matched by — man. At Rollier’s miracle shop nearly a mile high on the southern slope of the Alps with the sun shining down and reflecting on the snow, they need no amps. But that is in Switzerland. It doesn’t do us any good here in American cities or even in American country homes where climate, custom and the circumstances of work give us no chance for outdoor sun-tan except for a few brief summer months. If we want to keep our sun-tan the year round, the only way to do it that will prove practical for 99 per cent. of us is to make use of this new invention, the sun-lamp. | There are many kinds of sun-lamps in the market today. I have a list of eighteen companies who manu- facture them, and, as in all similar fields of new devices that have caught the public fancy, there are claims and counterclaims as to the relative worth and efficiency of the various rival types. There is some criticism too of lamps and their use by laymen (Continued — on page 104) Real sun - bathing no longer requires traveling a_thou- sand miles south.

As a real food to take their place in line with the eggs, ham, bacon, beans, bread and potatoes, nuts were unknown. Why so? The answer is climate. If you had lived in the tropics, you could have gone out on any day, climbed a palm tree and thrown down a week’s supply of cocoanuts each as big as your head, thus furnishing meat and drink for the whole family.

THE PHYSICAL CULTURE November Health Menus Prepared by the Institute Staff - ore Thanksgiving Day comes in November, it is so late in the month that it more properly belongs to winter than to the hazy warmth of Indian summer. Menus planned for this season should be flexible. For economy’s sake it is well to watch your own markets and to take advantage of any low-priced food commodity of good quality. Should a menu recom- mend Brussels sprouts and the market price be high, price cauliflower, cabbage or kale, which are all mem- bers of the same family, or use spinach, celery, green beans, in fact any vegetable which is cheaper. The whole object of including these menus would be fustrated if the user felt they must be followed slav- ishly. No set of menus would fit every section of the United States simultaneously, not to speak of our readers scattered throughout the world. Every item in every menu may be changed, with a view to adapting them to the family, climatic conditions and markets.

PINSTITUTE & mod- OF NUTRITION Let’ S Improve Our THANKSGIVING DINNER What We Have Lost of the Old-Fashioned Feast and How We May Get It Back By JOHN HAYDEN ern Thanksgiv- ing dinner is not what it used to be. Not that turkey, cran- berry sauce, mashed potato, gravy, the tra- ditional two vegetables, and the still more traditional pumpkin pie have changed, or are any differ- ent from what they always were. They are not. The change is not in the dinner itself, but in us. What the modern Thanksgiving dinner lacks is somebody to eat it with the zest of real appetite, and with the feeling of devout satisfac- tion and thankfulness that goes with feasting under such conditions. What the modern Thank giving dinner lacks is the sauce of hunger. Not being really hungry we aren’t really thankful; but we pretend to be thankful and we pretend to be hungry. This is a sheer lip service, and sheer bunk. We find it easier to keep up the pretense than we do honestly to admit the fact that something is wanting in our attitude toward this once noble feast, that there is little or no real kick in it any more, and that it is up to us either to abandon our hypocrisies concerning it, or else to rehabilitate it and restore it o its ancient place ai one of the really red-letter celebrations of the year. In this article I propose to show that such a rehabilita- tion and debunking of Thanksgiving Day is possible, and that it is perfectly possible for any American _ family that will honestly face the problem to make of _ the Thanksgiving dinner, and of the day with which it THANKSGIVING DAY MENUS BREAKFAST 8 A.M. | large glass orange juice Tomato-Sauerkraut Juice Cocktail with Sweet Giller and White Rock Cocktail with Giblet Gravy, Chopped Pode Bread Stufhing Boiled Brown Rice or Baked Stuffed Potatoes Buttered Onions or Green French Endive and Grapefruit Salad, Squash, Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Pie Menus and Recipes by MARION Rouse BUDD is associated, an occasion both for psychological and physical recuperation. Broadly speaking, the most important thing that the individual American family can bring to the Thanks- giving dinner is an appetite—not an ordinary appetite but an extraordinary one. The most important thing at the Thanksgiv- ing table is hunger; and the next most important thing is that the food should be sufficiently out of the line of the ordinary daily cui- sine to intensify that hunger. Hunger should be at high tension; and the na- ture of the meal should be such as to bring it to a still higher tension, by an extra turn of the screw, as it were, the way a canny violinist might tune his instrument and bring it to a higher pitch. The reason it is important thus to bring hunger to the highest practicable tension is not that hunger in itself is of value, but that the emotional states which accompany the satisfying of it are extremely valuable. The greatest satisfactions of life result from winding up the human mechanism to high tensions and then- re- leasing and relieving such tensions. This produces the sharp contrasts in living from which we renew and correct our sense of values. Why does a pretty girl resort to coquetries in bringing her young man into a proper state of subjection? Be- cause the intensity of his desire is thereby increased, and he values her properly when she finally says yes. It is the same principle all along the line.

We do, — however, advise on the basic problems of nutrition and the following items: most likely to correct this condition should contain abundance of milk, citrus fruit, leafy vegetables, and also that marvelous “food” we generate in -our own bodies through the ac- tion of sunshine. Does the Brain Re- quire Food? UESTION: Why do not scientists ex- periment and find out what are the best brain foods? All the discus- sions we see on the sub- ject seem confused and But there is a grow- ing accumulation of evi- dence that another vita-. min is very important in the growth and preserva- tion or health of the teeth and their supporting struc- tures. -That is vitamin C, found especially in citrus health building fruits and tomatoes, and to a lesser degree in all raw fruits and fresh vegetables. — 2 | Thus we have at least four nutritional elements known to be highly essential to healthy tooth growth. And there are probably others—in fact, there are two other mineral elements in teeth, magnesium and fluorin. So the growth of the teeth seems to be synonymous with the needs of good all-round nutrition of the body as awhole. After all, that is common sense. The race would hardly have survived if knowledge regarding the essential elements for this or that organ or bodily function had been essential to life. Nutrition must be considered as a whole, and when the body as a whole is completely nourished, the teeth, brain, heart or toes 62 contradictory —doesn’t anyone know? ANSWER: No one knows of any particular food or food substances that especially feeds or stimu- lates the brain to greater powers of thinking. There are some drugs that affect the brain abnormally and to its detriment, such as opium or alcohol. Caffein probably has no direct effect on the brain but, due to its effect on the heart, may combat drowsiness and therefore, by postponing sleep, enable the brain to work longer. Eat- ing lightly of any food will to a lesser degree have the same effect, whereas eating heavily tends to produce drowsiness and check brain work. | | But none of these effects can be considered directly in the class of nourishing or feeding the brain.

MAURICE DELORT LEFT Europe’s great intestinal specialist, Dr. Delort, is the author of ‘‘Consul- tationson Diseasesof theIntestine.”’ “It is through the digestive tract,’’ he says, ‘‘that many infections find their way into the system. **Yeast,’’ he explains, ‘“‘stimulates the stomach and intestines and acts as a body cleanser.”’ } . ~ Read what they say about a simple food that keeps intestines clean!

¢ « ‘ *. ; “Agate Sie ae 66 Physical Culture What Foods Build Sound Teeth? build up the best all-round bodily health and vitality is the only known basis to establish the best nutrition and_ best functioning of the brain. There are many difficulties that pre- vent our having more specific facts con- cerning the nutritional needs of the brain. | The brain is nourished by the same blood stream that nourishes the body as a whole, yet it composes only 3 per cent. of the weight of the body. The nutritional de- mands of the remaining 97 per cent. of body substance therefore overwhelms most observations of the nutritional de- - mands of the brain. Recently, by very careful methods, the Nutrition Laboratory of the Carnegie Institutions succeeded in measuring the increased oxidation during active mental effort as compared with mental inaction. They found that mental activity in- creased the average oxidation of ten sub- jects 2.3 calories per hour, or about three per cent. If we assume that the brain consumes food at the average rate of the body as a whole, it would seem that when it is very active, the brain actually oxidizes about twice as much food as when it is inactive. But compared with the food need of the rest of the body, the needs of the brain are insignificant. The food energy required for an hour’s thinking would be supplied by a good- sized grain of corn! MoREOVER, this finding, interesting as it is, indicates the food consumption only in terms of its oxidation or fuel value. It does not show us what particular kind of food elements are needed by the brain, nor does it prove that this slight increase in food oxidation actually took place in the brain. It merely shows that people when thinking actively do oxidize slightly more food. But that effect might have come, not from the brain itself but from a greater tensing of the muscles, or the greater speeding up of the heart or the rate of breathing when one is thinking. A further presumption that the brain tissues require little food and change very slowly comes from the fact that in prolonged fasting the brain is one of the organs that does not appreciably lose in weight. Indeed this is rather fortunate, for if the brain substance were more sus- ceptible to the immediate effects of nutri- tion it would be frequently damaged by bad nutrition. Indeed our great store of knowledge and memories could hardly be preserved in a brain that was rapidly changing its substance. With the pos- sible exception of the bones, the brain is probably the most stable and permanent | part of the body. Yet, in spite of all this, the brain worker cannot afford to neglect proper nutrition of the body as a whole, because any weakness, pain or illness anywhere in the body does impair the power of the brain to do good work. Canned Foods Need No Preservatives Be iM handcie : Are there any safe pre- servatives that one may use in home canning? Is it necessary to use preserva- tives? - dill pickles. Continued from page 62 Answer: We are inclined to answer an emphatic, “No!’ Without further explanation, however, that answer might seem inconsistent with the fact that the pure food law allows the use of a limited number of food preservatives, in limited percentages. A complete denial that any food preservatives are safe would also be inconsistent with the fact that there are a number of substances that are really food preservatives but which have been in general household use for so long that we fail to think of them as being in the same class as chemical preservatives which are inventions of modern science. But the question as asked still de- serves a categorical “no” because it is asked in regard to canning foods. The process of canning is a method. of pre- serving food with physical agencies. Any form of chemical preservative in canned foods is wholly unnecessary and worse than useless. The preserving agencies are heat to kill all microscopic life in the food, followed by sealing so tightly that further bacteria or mold can not pene- trate and enter the food. The canning process is by far the most important and on the whole the most efficient method of preserving foods that civilization has developed, but it needs no aid in the form of chemical preserva- tives. Nor are chemical preservatives ever used by ethical and honorable can- ners. There have been in the past re- grettable instances in which foods that were far gone toward a state of decompo- sition have been doped up with preserva- tives and then canned. The preserva- tives served to check further spoilage as the foods were being prepared for canning, and would have the same effect of check- ing new bacterial action after the cans were opened. But such practise has now been banned both by law and _ public opinion and is rare if not entirely non- existent in this country today. The notion that any _ appreciable amount of modern canned foods contain preservatives is an erroneous belief based on prejudice and ignorance and the hang- over of a few tales of such practises from days before any general public conscience in regard to food preparation had been aroused. The modern legal use of food preserva- tives today is chiefly confined to sodium benzoate in ketchup and cider and sul- phur dioxide in dried fruits. There are extenuating circumstances that excuse such uses. Even the old home preserva- tives are less used than formerly because the year-round supply of fresh foods is ever growing better, as is also the supply of canned foods. Salt, wood smoke, vinegar, spices, lactic acid and sugar are all food-preserving agencies. But at least some of these agencies combine the remarkable properties of being both food elements and preservatives. Certainly that is true of sugar and of lactic acid. The latter, in combination with salt, is the preserving element in kraut and Lactic acid in milk also de- cidedly checks other. forms of bacterial growth. Salt, wood smoke, vinegar and spices > were practically the only methods of food preservation, other than drying, that were in use a hundred or a thousand years ago. They add nothing that can be said to be of any positive food value and people take various views as to the whole- someness of food preserved by any of these agencies. Long usage has put them in the class of having been generally ac- cepted as harmless. Modern food science, without upholding any sensational ac- cusations against such methods of. food preservation, does em phasize the superior- ity of fresh foods and of physical agencies of preservation (heat and sealing or ex- treme cold) in preference to preservation of food by any form of chemical action. Foods Grown in the Sunshine UESTION: Are the foods grown above ground, and bathed in the rays of the sun, more healthful than those - grown underground? Answer: A number of years ago a popular dietitian—who was gifted with a certain instinct for intuitive judgment rather than equipped with scientific knowledge—classified vegetables in this fashion. He made a great point of pre- scribing above-ground vegetables as dis- tinct from those that grow underground. More recently the enlarging scientific evidence of the vital importance of sun- shine in human life seems to carry with it a renewal of faith in this conviction that foods should be exposed to sunshine. Still more specifically a process of develop- ing vitamin D in foods by exposing them to ultra-violet light has been developed. All this would tend to reassert the old faith of the superiority of sun-grown and sun-ripened foods. But before we condemn the potato and the peanut and cast them back into their subterranean darkness, there are a few further facts that we ought to consider. One of these is that the living growing plant, like the animal, has circulation. Sunshine is even more important to plant than to animal life. But the chief func- tion of the sun in plant growth is to unite carbon dioxide and water and thus create the sugar which in turn changes into starch and cellulose and even vegetable oils. But the typical plant has the special organs known as leaves wherein this transformation takes place. The starch of the potato and the starch and oil of the underground peanut are generated from the sun on the leaves just the same as the starch of the wheat seed or the oil of the olive. The exposure to the sun of the particular part of the plant that carries the food substance we are going to eat is of little or no importance be- cause the plant has a circulation. Likewise a man has his skin, analogous to the leaves of the plant, in which the sun causes certain chemical transforma- tion to take place, producing valuable substances that are then carried by the circulation and used elsewhere in regions of the body to which the sun never pene- (Continued on page 68)

This simple act may spare youa costly, and possibly a dangerous, siege of illness. Because Listerine, though non- poisonous and healing in action, is fatal to germs. And sore throat, like a cold, is caused by germs breeding by millions in the mucous mem- brane of the mouth, nose, and throat.

Even the stubborn Staphylococcus aureus (pus) and Bacillus typhosus (typhoid) germs in counts ranging to 200,000,000 yield to it in 15 seconds (fastest killing time accurately recorded by science), Used as a gargle, Lis- terine actually reduces cerms in the mouth 98%.

trates. But in addition to such general circulating benefits of the action of the sun on the human skin, we also have the more local effect of the development of pigment only in that area of the skin ex- posed to the sun. In a similar manner the sun also di- rectly affects the coloring of fruit in the ripening process. But the local effect in either case is only “skin deep.’”’ When fruits are picked green the sun is only one missing factor in the inferior ripening process. Severing the fruit from the parent stem may be just as important, or more so. - The nutrition of plants, like that of animals, should be considered as a whole, and all natural healthful factors be al- lowed to work in their fullest way. Sun-. grown and sun-ripened products are the acme of nature’s efforts and hard to beat, but they have no qualities as a whole that should give any grounds for con- demning food products that may form underground. Let nature work her won- ders in her own way—a growing potato, for instance, that gets the dirt kicked away from it and is exposed to the sun, isn’t. fit to eat. Vitamin D in Olive Oil UESTION: Does olive oil contain. ' “Svitamin D? Answer: It does not. This question might serve to illustrate further the pre- ceding one. Cod-liver oil formed in the liver of a fish that spends much of its time in the dark waters of. a near-Arctic winter ocean is a tremendously rich writes about nuts takes the easy method of mentioning the kinds of nuts that are well known and not defining the word at all. And so let us see if we can make a definition that helps us any. A nut is the hard-shell seed of a tree and generally has an outside shell or husk but not a fleshy fruit around it. This is the usual idea of a nut and so a cocoanut gets in the list easily enough but a peanut does not. It: does not have a hard shell and doesn’t grow on a tree. Its name comes from the fact that its taste and chemical composi- tion are much the same as those of nuts even though its botanical habits do not throw it into the proper classification. So far as food is concerned, then, the peanut belongs to the family of nuts. Nuts, of course, are important as food only when one can get them and so of the many nuts that the forests furnish only a few need be discussed. Whether this small variety is responsible for the slight use of nuts is a question. Probably not, for there is greater variety here than there is in eggs, beans, potatoes and many other foods which are used to a much greater extent. - Whatever the reason, statistics that were compiled a few years ago showed that of the total money spent for food less than two per cent. was spent ' Continued from page 66 source of vitamin D. But the olive that grows and ripens in the Sahara sun is a poor source of the same vitamin. Yet for the formation of the vitamin, sun- light is essential! Again the marvel of nature—and yet there is an explanation. The olive tree doesn’t need any “bottled sunshine.” It gets it day by day. But the codfish lives half the year in the dark, so in the Arctic summer the fish eats sea- weed that is exposed to the sun and stores this sun-formed vitamin for the dark days to come. In living nature, things exist for a purpose in the life of each species, and are not formed willy-nilly just because the conditions that might form them happen to exist. Drinking Milk to Quench Thirst UESTION: I have a child who is underweight. Would it be advisable to provide cold milk instead of water for him to drink whenever he is thirsty? Answer: This would not be advisable. A glass of milk between meals or before retiring is permissible in some cases of underweight and malnutrition or di- gestive weaknesses. But even then it should be looked upon as a small extra meal and not as a thirst quencher. No human being or animal should ever be denied water when thirsty, nor should liquid foods be forced upon any one as a substitute for plain water to satisfy thirst. The amount of water required by the body is wholly independent of the de- mands for food. Water requirements depend upon the weather and the ac- tivity of the individual, and such require- Sweet as a Nut Continued from page 59 for nuts. This is an extremely small amount because nuts are among the best of foods and in their season they are in- expensive. With the exception of the fats, nuts are the richest of all foods in their supply of energy. Most nut kernels give about three thousand calories to the pound. An ounce gives some two hundred calories and is thus equivalent to about three eggs. Tuis shows that one of the uses of nuts which is very common is also very un- fortunate; namely, the serving of nuts at the end of a banquet dinner. Many a man (and many a woman) has eaten an ounce of salted almonds when he would have been completely overcome at the thought of three large fried eggs. A half-pound dish of nuts on a bridge table could be replaced by a large steak and potatoes without any gain in calories. The results of considering nuts as of no consequence as a food are bad. More burden on the feet, more cloth in the suit, more indigestion from too much foods, all testify against the practise. Nuts are a food and a good one. They should be classed with meat, eggs, cheese, beans, bread and the other staple protein- rich foods, for nuts are rich in protein as Physical Culture ments vary rather enormously from time to time. Any scheme of forcing food to be swallowed in order to obtain its water content would lead to very bad feeding habits as well as fail to allow for the normal and proper quenching of this highly variable thirst. The fruit juice type of beverage comes the nearest being an exception to the principle just laid down, and even in that case it is not satis- factory as a complete substitute for water. Buttermilk Compared with Oranges UESTION: Will a glass of buttermilk give the same food value as one orange? AnswER: No. And we may add that the old custom of estimating the value of one food in terms of another food is growing more and more into disfavor. Certain facts about food can be expressed in comparisons. For instance a glass of buttermilk contains about 80 calories. The same volume of orange juice con- tains about 100 calories. Therefore, as far as calories are concerned, four-fifths of a glass of orange juice is equal to a glass of buttermilk. This fact might interest the person on a reducing diet but it would be of little im- portance to a person using the butter- milk or orange juice for various other food properties. ‘Thus as a source of vitamin C the orange juice would be infinitely superior to the buttermilk. But as a source of protein or calcium the buttermilk would be superior. And the best practical answer to the question is to say, as a source of health, use both! well as in fat. If nuts were used as the only food, the protein furnished would be from seventy to one hundred grams a day which is a good average amount for the population in general. It has been shown, too, that the protein of nuts is adequate in kind as well as in quantity. I am not suggesting that anyone live on nuts alone. In fact they are not complete foods. Like everything else, nutritional and otherwise, they fall short of perfection. One criticism which is frequently held against nuts is not justified. That is, that they are hard to digest. I have no doubt that some people have failed to digest nuts, but they are concentrated food and must be chewed and not swallowed in large pieces or eaten when the stomach is already occupied with the digestion of a huge meal. When it comes to minerals, nuts are at a disadvantage because they contain such a concentration of fat and protein that there isn’t much room left for anything else. Of the three most important min- eral elements, however, calcium, phos- phorus and iron, a diet of nuts would supply about two-thirds of the require- ment. When the small amount of weight involved is considered this is remarkably (Continued on page 70) 1-4 ul be bo ob det 1 lees reel whi sea pl iain mae Re vee ba TE ae ea T Ee Cee a ane to akgeY ene ws OE ee me ere eo eee

But when nuts constitute the main energy food, milk, fruits and vegetables should be the supplementary foods. Nuts have also been found to contain iodine In comparatively large quantities. This is a feature that is not usually taken into account. Whether or not nuts may be depended upon for a sufficient supply of this mineral is not certain as yet, but it seems safe to say that they are a great help in this particular. Novs are a good source of vitamin B but deficient in A and C. Here again they are reminiscent of meat. In fact nuts lie closer to meat in composition and nutrient qualities than to any other vegetable food. They contain less water and this together with the high fat con- tent explains their high energy value. If nuts resemble meat so closely, why is it that people will spend thirty to forty per cent. of their food money for meat and less than two per cent. for nuts? This question I raised before and said I didn’t know why, but now I will venture an opinion. Meat is an old food and well known. Many ways of cooking it have been de- vised so that it comes to the table in many tasty forms. Its flavor is liked by almost everybody. | Nuts on the other hand are a compara- tively new food. Peanuts have been available in quantity for years and gradu- ally we are coming to use them or the butter made from them. More recently English walnuts are being produced in this country and are now available in quantity at a very reasonable price, but while the growers are removing the handicap of rarity, nobody has taught us to use these walnuts. Why, I do not know. Walnuts that have been boiled in water for a few minutes are soft, well- flavored, and while the skin is not easily | removed the tannin in it is largely washed out. It is this tannin in the skins of nuts which some people find irritating to the tongue and roof of the mouth. In fact, walnuts that have been boiled are like very fresh nuts and remind one: of the green almonds that are so common and so delicious in France but are practically — unknown in this country. Boiled native chestnuts were widely used before the blight eliminated them so completely from the market but they have been re- placed by the large Italian chestnuts. Walnuts continue to appear in bread, salads, ice cream and candy in their raw, hard form. The Chinese cook almonds with mix- tures of vegetables which renders them soft and causes them to blend well with the other vegetables, but cooked almonds are almost as rare as cooked walnuts although they, like walnuts, may be had in large quantity and at a reasonable price. : A fourth nut which has come into the market in great quantity and excellent quality in recent years is the pecan. It has a delicate flavor and a softer texture than any of the other three and is also available in the form of a fine meal which may be used in bread, pastry, puddings and other cookery products. These four are the principal nuts in the market. The Brazil nut and the hazelnut

- November, 1930 are also available in smaller quantity and of course many others are potentialities. But all of them await the chef’s touch to combine them into breads, pastries, soups, puddings and cooked vegetable combina- tions. A little work along this line, with heartless discarding of the failures, will effect in a short time what has been ac- complished throughout the years with the more common foods. We are conserva- tive eaters, sticking to the old foods pre- pared in the old ways, but complaining, nevertheless, of lack of variety. It may be that we can’t get the papaya, the mango or some other tropical fruits in New York or Chicago because they do not stand the transportation, but the nuts are easily transported and they keep very well, so here no difficulty is. encountered except something more in the way of preparation and service than placing them on the table in a dish with a nut cracker and an invitation to eat them when the rest of the meal has proved inadequate, Experimentation in cookery is always interesting and I can think of no better subject to work upon than new ways of using the hard seeds of the numer- ous nut trees.

lt 72. Sauerkraut and Cabbage... Vegetables indispensable to man, says famous Professor of Pediatrics “THE fact that vegetable plant foods are indispensable to man and other animals has been explained by modern science. It has been shown that plants alone manufacture, as animals cannot, certain substances that are essential to health and normal growth, and to the avoidance of a number of serious diseases.” A well-known professor of pediatrics made that state- ment. It is true. On a pinnacle in that vegetable kingdom scientists place cabbage. It rests there because it contains the vitamins; because it is rich in lime, potash and phosphorous and because of its iron and calcium— all requisites for health, happiness and well-being. What is true of cabbage is true of Sauerkraut—for Sauerkraut is nothing more than fermented cabbage; cabbage in its most palatable and nutritious state. As the late Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Director of the Bureau of Foods, Sanitation and Health conducted by Good House- keeping, once said: “But after all I think there is no form in which cabbage can be used to such advantage as in Sauerkraut.” To continue the quotations from the professor of pediatrics: ‘‘Among the diseases and disorders directly traceable to too small an intake of plant foods are malnutrition, dental decay, beri-beri, rickets, constipation, anaemia and some other rarer conditions. “Besides the fact that they are rich in vitamins, vege-~ tables have other properties of great value to health, especially in childhood. This kind of food has to be chewed thoroughly (especially the case with Sauerkraut). Dentists tell us that the proper exercise of the jaws is essential to their normal development and growth, just as exercise is essential to the development of muscle and that many deformities of the face are due to too long continued use in early childhood of finely divided or soft food. * ; ‘Again, vegetable foods, especially the coarser ones containing a good deal of fibre or cellulose (true. of Sauerkraut) polish and clean the teeth during mastication and thus prevent decay.”’ ; This tribute to.Sauerkraut—even if indirect—is not overdrawn. Sauerkraut has been proven excellent for the teeth, and with its lactic ferments, and mineral salts ‘and vitamins, valuable for health in general, both for children and’ adults. j EMBLEM OF FIRST QUALITY But there are Sauerkraut and Sauerkraut.

They are mostly shep- herds and farmers. They raise grapes, olives, figs, which they take to mar- ket. These people live practically in the open during the dry season and look very healthy. They grow their own wheat from which they make “‘black” bread. They eat lots of vege- tables, milk, eggs and sometimes fish or chicken. They also make their own olive oil, butter and cheese. Most of the villages have no water. It must be carried in barrels or large water jars. The women walk several miles with these jars on their backs. They also spin the wool and flax by hand to make cloth for their garments. Perhaps they. have never heard of physical culture, but they live close to nature, work hard in the open and eat healthful foods. Mrs. M. S. Pontiac, Michigan.

My lungs were bad and I was broke. 1 couldn’t do what I wanted to do, so I did the next best thing—I hitch-hiked to south Georgia, where 1 worked in a turpentine camp and around pine tar kilns for a few months. There is nothing more beneficial for the lungs than the aroma of pine. . : When I returned to New York two years later, in much better condition, I spent a great deal of time in a Y. M. C.

After a few months my friends noticed a remarkable change for the better in my appearance. Just to wrestle did not satisfy me. I have competed in almost every wrestling tourna- ment held in or near New York during the last five years and have about a dozen medals and as good health as any man could wish for.

A Correction Eprror’s Norte: In this department for August we published a letter and photograph of Al. Vano, of New York City. We believed this letter to be sent in by Mr. Vano. Ap- parently, however, it came from one of his admirers who wished to see his picture in the magazine, but who, unfortunately, made some statements which were not true. We deeply regret this mistake, and in justice to Mr. Vano, we are publishing his letter of correction. To THe Eprror AND FELtow REApERs: I do not know who put the letter about me in your August number, but whoever did it made a big mistake. I was never “anemic or sickly” and although I was put through a lot of tests for four and a half years before they found I had a dislocated spine, I am still very healthy. I have a physical culture mother, and my brother and one of my sisters were good acro- bats, so it was a natural thing for me to be the same. I was small and underweight but always healthy and active. I started boxing exhibitions at ten years old, so you see that is more than three years, and will also say that ' just boxing three years in a gymnasium would - not fit me to be a boxing instructor. To bea good boxing instructor you must have had ring experience, and I had plenty. I was also a hand balancer and tumbler. I can say that living a physical culture life ' has enabled me to stand a lot of weakening % t tests and still be in pretty good health. I have always been ’a health bug and although I only weighed 65 pounds at fifteen, I have a body I can be proud of. . I have been a reader of the magazine for at least twenty years, so you see I am a little past _ twenty-seven, which according to the story I would be now. a Yours for physical culture and clean sport, New York, New York.

It doesn’t matter very much, though, for whatever else they’re doing, they’re adding greatly to the decorative quality of the scene, to say nothing of ornamenting this page — Diet and Exercise Cured Serious Condition. To Tue Eprtor anp Freiitow Reapers: At seventeen years of age I was undersized and in a very weak and rundown condition. On examination it was revealed that I was suffering from a defect in my spine as well as an ulcerated stomach, among other things. During the past six months my medicine has consisted of correct diet, swimming, hiking and exercise with dumbbells and Indian clubs. Besides gaining both in height and weight, my stomach is cured and I feel better than I have in a long time. | Marsorie Bare. Ronceverte, West Virginia. Dance and Play—Out-of-Doors To tHe Eprror anp Fettow READERS: Dance and play, play and dance—out-of- doors. This idea transformed me from a puny, undeveloped girl into a happy and normal one. It is my sister Mary who was my incentive. She once said to me: “No one really knows how easily they can improve themselves until they try, and no one who is in poor physical condition can begin to realize how much joy they are missing. You are your own worst enemy, Jenette. Learning to care for yourself and learning to enjoy exer- cise, whether it be dancing, swimming or the much-maligned calisthenics, are two things which will assure you of big returns in health and beauty. Furthermore, honey, whether or not any girl makes the most of herself rests with herself only.” She finally succeded in convincing me. We went on long hikes. I found that pure air sets your blood tingling and brings about the real beauty of complexion that nature meant all women to have. I began to eat properly and to drink eight or nine glasses of water daily. Many have asked me: ‘‘ What is your philoso- phy of life, since you always seem to radiate happiness?”” One simply cannot feel depressed when full of pep and ambition. Often I go off into the woods and dance. To me it doesn’t matter where or when you dance, but how and why you do. I dance be- cause I love it—because I love music and feel that I must express the emotion it arouses in me, and because of the happiness I derive from it. “Dancing, like singing, is a delightful way of expressing the joy which bubbles over in every happy soul.” . Look for the charm and beauty, grace and poise, health and happiness, derived from this exercise, and you will never regret the hours spent dancing. oo i ; = JENETTE SAVAGE. Ashley, Pennsylvania.

the welfare of the individual. primitive civilization, where two out of three children died in infancy, the only “way of maintaining the population - balance was early marriages and lots of children, in the hope that as many of them would live to grow up as there were of the older ones who would die off in any given period. But, as I have just pointed out, in our modern civilization we save _nearly all the babies, the fit and the unfit, and there is no social urge or necessity for large families. - Perhaps the commonest of all causes of early death among primitive peoples is rheumatism of the heart, the result of infected teeth. ‘Teeth seem to be nature’s greatest mistake. It is reasonably cer- tain, at least, that they are the cause of as many human ailments as almost every- thing else put together. 7 It was a great step forward in the his- tory of the human race when man first learned how to build a fire and woman first learned to broil a piece of meat over it. It was a still greater step forward in human history when men learned how to grind wheat into flour and make it into bread. But just at that minute, man- kind’s teeth began to go back on him. Ovr teeth are designed to eat raw meat, uncooked vegetables and whole grains. As soon as we softened our food by cooking it, we deprived the teeth of some of their natural exercise. Sooner or later they begin to decay, pus sacs begin to form at their roots, pus begins to flow into the blood stream and we begin to _ haveneuralgia, rheumatism, heart trouble, digestive disturbances, sluggish circula- tion, and a dozen other ailments, includ- ing failing eyesight, which we have learned only in the last few years to attribute in most cases to their real source—infected teeth. 3 To anyone who understands what a virulent poison is contained in pus it is amazing that anybody lives more than a few minutes after the root ulcer of an infected tooth begins to drain into the system. Only a high bodily resistance protects us at-all. There is nothing the modern surgeon fears so much as he fears pus. The tiniest infection, through even ° a pin prick, is almost certainly fatal if the pus is from some other body than one’s own. | Not long ago a brilliant young surgeon was performing an operation in Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. It was a delicate operation, involving the cutting out of an abscess filled with pus, and the operating surgeon did not wear the usual rubber gloves. He was working with his bare hands when his knife slipped, and he received the tiniest scratch across the end of one finger. He could have saved himself if he had acted instantly by cut- ting off the end of his own finger with a clean knife, or perhaps by laying open the wound and thoroughly cauterizing it. But to pause in the operation long enough to do that might have meant the death of the patient. | With a grim smile the surgeon lifted his head for a moment and looked into In a Prolong Your Life 20 Years Continued from page 17 the eyes of the nurse who was assisting. “This is the end of me,’’ he said. He finished the operation and saved | the patient’s life. Three days later he was dead from blood poisoning, which all the skill of the medical faculty of the University was unable to check. When pus generates in our own systems it generates also a certain degree of im- munity. That is why pimples and small boils do not have any serious systemic effects upon us, or at least no effects seri- ous enough for us to notice. Boys, Make the Things You Can’t Afford to Buy! Why are you sitting around wonder- ing what to do next when you can’t round up the gang? Why don’t you get busy and see what a lot of things you could make yourself with a set of tools and some inexpensive’ materials —skis, sleds, ice-boats, real gliders? JUNIOR MECHANICS AND MODEL AIR- PLANE NEWS will tell you how. The November issue is brimful of suggestions and instructions for mak- ing a whole list of things that most boys are interested in. This is the magazine that will put you on the road to success as a-home mechanic. Just look at these titles: ‘‘Here’s a Novel Light to Make Your- self’’—a ceiling light in unusual form for your den. | ‘*A Safe and Handy Tool Panel’’—you : need this to keep your working kit free from rust and always at hand. ‘‘How to Build: a Cabin-Boat’’—pre- pare for your next vacation and make | this snug retreat for camping on the- water. ‘‘Whittling for Fun’’—just take your knife in hand and see what natty. things you can make with a piece of wood. ‘*Handicraft Hints’’—thirteen useful articles to make at small. cost. And on top of all this the November issue will give you full instructions and plans for constructing a model of the famous U. S. Army Curtiss ‘‘Condor’’ bomber, in addition to the marvelous timely courses that we are presenting on ‘‘Air Navigation,’’ ‘‘Gliding and Soaring,’’ and ‘‘Airplane Designing.”’ The November issue of JUNIOR ME- CHANICS AND MODEL AIRPLANE NEWS is on sale at all news stands on October 23rd and it is only fifteen cents a copy. Be sure and get yours. : And nature sets up further protective measures by’enclosing every pus deposit. in a membranous sac or cyst. Sooner or later, however, the walls of the cyst will break down, the pus will begin to enter — the blood stream and we begin to be poisoned from within ourselves. And if that goes on unchecked it is only a ques- tion of time when the poison will at last — reach the heart, after first stiffening our - joints and torturing our muscles, and we will drop dead in our tracks, as the Smith Sound Eskimos almost uniformly do. Except when one of them is drowned while fishing, or killed in an encounter with a polar bear, or slips off the ice, he seldom meets his end any other way than by suddenly dropping dead from rheumatism of the heart. So one of the prices you must pay for a long life is to take care of your teeth. That is a very easy and simple thing in Physical Culture these days of modern dentistry. There is no excuse whatever for any intelligent — person to have bad teeth. Better no teeth at all than infected teeth. Keeping the teeth good and sound by eating plenty of rough and tough food while you are © young, avoiding the sugars and sweets which set up fermentation in the crevices of the teeth and so lead to decay, eating sparingly of the soft foods that require no chewing, seeing to it that your diet contains plenty of milk and other foods containing lime, to keep your bony struc- ture built, and visiting your dentist twice a year are simple rules for prolonging life. The other principal way in which na- ture removes primitive peoples from. the | earthly scene at an early age is by the more or less painless but effective method of pneumonia. Probably two-thirds of the deaths of old people are from pneu- monia. ‘The resistant power of the body has been lowered with increasing years. A sudden chill from exposure to rain or snow or cold, without immediate means at hand for stimulating the circulation or raising the surface temperature, is the beginning of the end. Sharp, stabbing pains through the lungs give a few hours of discomfort. Then comes fever, with its blessed relief from pain, the temper-- ' ature rises, unconsciousness and delirium supervene, and unless remedial measures - are resorted to death follows without ~ ~ recovery of consciousness. It is not an unpleasant way to die, for it is painless | and peaceful. Whatever your present | age and your social condition, you may calculate the chances as at least two to one that that will be the way you will make your exit from this vale of tears, whenever that time comes. : You can postpone pneumonia by build- ing up your bodily resistance and keeping it built up. Practically the- same rules apply to the postponement of all of the other natural ways in which death over- takes us, so let us consider those for a few minutes before going farther into the | 3 question of how to stave them off. There are four broad classes into which all causes of death fall. - aso First there are accidents, in which we must include murder. Every human being takes a certain. percentage of risk of accident and_ of death by accident, wherever he may live and under whatever conditions. With the multiplication of. machinery the acci- ~~ dent rate climbed up in the industrial centers of population. years the safety first campaign among manufacturers and their employees, and the shifting of liability for accidents onto the shoulders and pocketbooks of em- a ployers have done a great deal to reduce the number of deaths and the chance of death from this cause. But at the same time the multiplication of the automobile has added a new peril to our civilization. — 4 Last year more than 33,000 people were killed in automobile accidents in the United States. The airplane is adding its toll of deaths to the total. - Railroad and steamship accidents are not nearly = (Continued on page 78) In the past few | 3

as common as they were twenty years | ago. But twenty years ago your chance of being murdered in the United States was only half as great as it is now. One person out of every 10,000 living every year dies a violent death at the hands of a murderer. however, most of the victims of murderers are persons who are themselves engaged in criminal activity. The rule for escap- ing death by murder, then, is the simple one of not mixing with criminals! LEAVING out accidents and murder, however, the weak spots in the human machine through which the angel of death is going to find his way are the cir- culatory system—which heart, the blood vessels and the kidneys— the lungs, and the digestive organs. JI have not said anything yet about infectious diseases. In general there is ‘just this to say about them. If you build up your bodily resistance and maintain your circulation, your digestion and your lungs in perfect condition, you run much less risk of infection and stand a much greater chafice of recovering from an infectious fever than you would if you had not taken care of your entire body. These major infections, which formerly killed off a large proportion of the human race every year, are smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, spinal meningitis, infantile paralysis, typhoid and influenza. Among them they now account for about seven- eighths of the deaths of the young. Nor is the danger past when a person ~ who has been infected with one of these diseases recovers. Every fever leaves a scar somewhere on the body tissues. In the long list of searching questions which the medical examiner asks you when you -go up for a life: insurance examination, are inquiries as to whether you have had any of those diseases. If you had one or two of them in infancy and have since shown no bad effects, the insurance com- pany will pass you without question. But if you have had three or four infec- tious diseases since maturity, you are going to be very carefully examined for possible permanent impairment of the heart and blood vessels, the lungs or other physical organs. | Measles, for instance, which we are accustomed to think of as one of the milder diseases of infancy, is really one of the most serious of all of the infections. People who live in crowded communities seem to acquire a sort of immunity to measles. But probably that is because every one of them in early childhood has had a slight ‘‘cold in the head” which was in reality a mild infection of measles, sufficient to give immunity to further infection in later life and not severe enough to be recognized for what it was. But during the world war measles was the most dreaded of all the diseases which attacked our soldiers in camps and can- tonments. Its victims were young men from isolated country districts and the great open spaces of the West, who had never been exposed to measles in infancy and in whom the disease took a virulent and frequently fatal course. Thousands of those who apparently recovered from measles died shortly thereafter from pneu- monia; the infection of the lungs gained a Fortunately for ourselves, includes. the Continued from page 76 | foothold because of the weakened condi- tion caused by the preceding attack of measles. _ Measles runs in epidemics. The first settlers of Massachusetts brought mea- sles with them from England, and it affected the Indians so violently that in the course of four or five years more than two-thirds of the Indians of all eastern “New England died of this disease. In 1875 a sailor with a mild case of measles went ashore from an English ship in the Fiji Islands. One of the natives caught the disease from him, and it spread so. rapidly that in less than six months three- Holiday Hospitality without Extravagance You don’t have to be extravagant and wasteful in order to entertain during the holiday season.

Tuberculosis is still the Great White Plague. Its progress has been checked in a great many communities, but it still takes an annual toll of victims of all ages, from childhood to forty or so, that is appalling and unnecessary. Tubercu- losis is distinctly an infection. It is transmitted from one person to another. It is not inherited, but it runs through families because of their close physical contact in many ways. The one impor- tant thing that we have learned about tuberculosis in the last few years is that three things are necessary for a cure. Those three things are absolute quiet, without the slightest physical exertion; overfeeding to the point of fatness with nourishing foods, particularly milk and eggs; and all the fresh air and sunshine that can by any possibility be obtained. The dry, pure air of high altitudes and the greater intensity of the sunlight in the mountains, are the only important ad- vantages. which such locations have over sea level for the tuberculosis patient. We do not know yet whether to classify cancer as an infection or not. It is a pro- “normal as possible. Physical Culture liferation, or spontaneous overdevelop- ment of the cells of the body tissues. What causes it we do not know, nor have we any positive cure except the surgeon’s knife. And the knife does no good unless it is used very early in the progress of the Case. +> | Radium and the X-ray seem to possess curative powers in some forms of cancer. — Sunlight helps surface cancers; too much sunlight seems to cause them. Just now cancer is becoming increasingly fre- quent among elderly persons. It is one of the causes of death against which . the individual cannot set up ‘a guard as yet. | [The Editor intrudes ‘here to remind readers of the article in our August num- ber by Sir Arbuthnot Lane, Bart.,. England’s foremost abdominal surgeon and world-famous authority, in which it was pointed out that cancer does not develop in heaithy tissue and that there- fore the preventive program is to keep all of the tissues of the body as healthy and In fact, the best medical opinion declares that all cancer patients show a “history of irritation.” One therefore learns that he can guard against this menace by avoiding poisons, taking prompt action in cases of infection, in maintaining internal cleanliness and observing generally a program conducive to high vitality and normal health of the entire body. One may avoid irritations of tongue and mouth from broken teeth, hot tobacco smoke or hot food, and pressure on the breasts from corsets or . brassieres.] B UT, after all, we are talking about the person who has successfully lived through the period of life when he or she is most subject to infections, diseases and acci- dents, and wants to prolong life beyond the average of the human race., And; barring infections. and accidents, every one of us can do that if, as I have said, we begin early in life to pay annual in- stalments on the price of old age. If we can keep our circulatory systems, our breathing apparatus and our di- gestive tracts in as good condition as we keep the engines of our automobiles, for example, we are going to find ourselves as sound at sixty as most people are at forty, as vigorous and energetic at seventy as we were at fifty, still goimg strong at eighty, with a good chance of rounding out the century. But how to do it? Let’s begin with the circulatory system for, after all is said and done, that is the part with which most of us take the longest chances, and which we are ac- customed to put under: the heaviest strains, in our intense civilized life. When a person dies of heart disease it does not usually mean that there was any- thing structurally wrong with his heart. It means that he neglected his heart and let it get soft and flabby, like the rest of the muscles of his body, until one day he put too great a strain upon it and it failed to respond. Or it means that he had lived and worked at a high nervous ten- sion, without sufficient relaxation, a ten- sion so great that the arteries lost the habit of elasticity and offered so much ~ (Continued on page 80)

fa Be November, 1930 a * CIENCE has analyzed the sun and found that, besides light and heat, it gives off tiny invisible waves (70,000 _ to the inch), known as Ultra-Violet rays, ' which have a profound effect upon all ' manner of life. Just as our eyes are receiv- ' ing sets tuned to the mighty broadcasting _ of light given off by the sun, so our skin _ is tuned to the invisible health waves sent _ out by the same source. Though they pene- ; _ trate the skin no deeper than the thickness ' of this sheet of paper, these rays are able ' to work deep changes throughout the en- _ tire body. Vitamin D—the sunshine vita- min—is produced only under its influence. ' This vitamin is an aid in the depositing of ' calcium and phosphorus and other min- ' erals in the bones. . These vital rays stir up many of us men- _ tally. They help to build up resistance to _ disease. They tan our skins (though it is ' not necessary to tan to receive the benefits - of ultra-violet radiation). They are a ' powerful aid in the maintenance of health. - But Ultra-Violet, artificially produced in _ the home, should not be regarded as a _ ‘medicine.’ It should be regardedin thesame - lightas fresh air, pure water and wholesome _ food. And like all of these essentials of _ health it should be used with moderation. _ Like all great discoveries, Ultra-Violet _ radiation’ has been the subject of much ' misconception and misunderstanding on | the part of the public. Its curative powers, _ in general use, have been exaggerated, in ' some cases by commercial exploiters. _ Ultra-Violet radiation is not a ‘‘cure-all.” ' It is not a substitute for the services of a physician in the case of illness or disease. In all cases where Ultra-Violet radiation is ' indicated as a treatment of disease, the ' attending physician should prescribe and ' supervise the treatment. _ For many years, as the world’s largest ' manufacturer of things electrical, the Gen- he Electric Company has sought, in its \ Vat may we expect of 79 I THE SECOND OF A SERIES OF ADVERTISEMENTS DEALING WITH ULTRA-VIOLET RADIATION IN THE HOME |e ULTRA-VIOLET Radiation? — vast laboratories, a means of making the known, health-maintaining qualities of Ultra-Violet available to the general pub- lic.

resistance to the pumping of the heart ’ that at last the poor tired old heart just simply quit. A large proportion of the deaths re-— ported nowadays as heart disease are what were once called apoplexy. The blood vessels, especially of the brain, have become weakened from one or an- other of numerous causes, and one night after a hearty meal a man goes to bed _ breathing heavily, with his heart pumping violently, in the effort to digest the un-— necessary amount of food and relieve the pressure of the stomach and intestines upon the heart itself, when “pop!” goes one of the little arteries in the brain, the scull cavity is flooded with blood and that is the end of that man. | How are we going to dodge this failure of the heart, the tension of the arteries and the weakening of the arterial walls? Diet, exercise, fresh air, moderation in drinking and smoking—that pretty nearly tells the whole story—except for one thing more, which is perhaps as important as all the rest. Don't worry! Your heart is a muscle. Tt responds to exercise and fresh air exactly the way the © rest of the muscles of your body do “You can overexercise it by violent and Jong continued exertion, but that is such ‘a rare occurrence that few of us are likely to suffer dilation of the heart in that way. As a matter of fact, death from heart trouble is many times more common ~ among people who take no exercise at all, but who do intense mental work, than “it is among manual workers doing the hardest kind of physical labor. Doctors, lawyers, journalists, clergymen, men in business positions of high responsibility, are the most frequent victims of heart disease. They eat too much, they do not breathe enough fresh air, they do not ex- ercise enough, they smoke too much, and - many-of them drink too much, and all of them worry too much. Intense mental effort calls for what, for the lack of any better term, we call high — nervous tension. The writer composing an article, as 1 am doing now, the clergy- man preparing or delivering a sermoa, the doctor concentrating upon the prob- lems which the cases of his patients offer, the lawyer preparing a brief or trying a lawsuit, the business executive applying himself intently to the problems which he alone can solve, become ‘“‘keyed up,” as the saying goes. It becomes habitual with them to keep their nerves at high tension all the time. They get out of the habit of relaxing. The effect of this high nervous tension “is to contract the surface blood vessels and those supplying the digestive organs, and to increase the pressure against which the heart has to pump. By slow degrees, so slow that nobody notices them until the damage has been done, this arterial tension becomes a fixed habit of the body. And since nature always tries to adapt herself to her environment, actual struc- ‘tural changes begin to take place in the - arteries and in the walls of the heart it- self. The tissues thicken and harden and lose their elasticity, and unless this tendency is checked in time, the victim is marked for an early death as surely as Continued from page 78. if a judge had sentenced him to the electric chair, What is the one common characteristic of all the men you have ever heard of who lived to an advanced age? I think there is but one answer. They all had calm minds anda philosophical - outlook on life. All, or nearly all of them, took some kind of outdoor exercise in moderation as a regular habit almost up until the time of their death. President Eliot of Harvard lived past ninety, and did not give up rowing ‘on the Charles River until he was well along in the eighties. John D. Rockefeller, past ninety, plays a little golf every day. George F. Baker, head of one of the largest banks in the world, has always “walked to work” and celebrated his _ ninetieth birthday the other day. Chaun- cey Depew died last year at ninety-two. There is no need to list the well-known men who have lived and kept active up to an advanced age and are still doing so. The point I want to make is that none of ° them is a worrier, that none of them ever does anything in a hurry, and that they all keep busy. Those three things are the surest pre- vention of heart disease that there are— those and one other thing. Do you know anybody past eighty | years old who is fat? You don’t. Fat people don’t live past eighty. For with advancing age there comes an In- _ evitable necessity for slowing down bodily activities. Exercise must be moderate— Mr. Depew used to say that for years the only exercise he took was acting as pall- bearer at the funcrals of his friends. And with this slowing down of bodily activity there must be a reduction in the amount of food taken into the system, or the heart stops working a good deal sooner than it otherwise would. ' If you want to live long, don’t eat too | much. It is of much less importance what kind of food you eat than is the amount of food that you take into your system. The most experienced heart specialist I know says that five very small meals a day are much better than three large meals. The total amount of food taken in five small meals is less than that taken in three or- dinary meals. N EARLY all of us eat too much. How much to eat is something we have to learn for ourselves. But the amount of food we require is proportionate to our physical activity, and not in the least to - our mental activity. In a very interesting and conclusive series of experiments recently completed at Wesleyan University, undertaken for the purpose of determining just how much “energy is required or consumed by the body during intensive mental effort, the conclusion was reached that all of the energy required for a solid hour of the most intense mental work can be sup- plied by one oyster cracker or half a salted peanut! Unless you are engaged in physical work or rather vigorous exercise, you need just enough food to supply the energy consumed by the body in the necessary walking, typewriting or what- ever other form of physical exertion your work calls for, and you do not need a — exertion. Eat enough fats, in the form of — high pressure of modern business, as we — Physical Culture 4 single ounce more. If you eat more, you — are putting an excessive load upon your heart and upon your digestive apparatus. It seems hardly necessary in these en- 4 lightened days to tell anybody how to~ take care of his digestion. Yet the very — fact that so many people are giving ad- ~ vice on that subject, and such varying ~ advice, and that so many different kinds — of medicines, exercises and whatnot aré — being advertised to promote good diges- tion, is pretty good evidence that only a comparatively few people have solved the problem. Yet the solution is a perfectly simple one. I have already in- — dicated it. It is, eat as much food as you ~ need to keep you going and don’t eat any — more. As to the kind of food, everyone -~ has to figure that out more or less for himself, but, in general, don’t eat meat — except in very moderate quantities, — 4 and only once a day unless you are con- : suming a great deal of energy by physical — butter, cream or salad dressing, to lubri- — cate your bowels thoroughly. If your — tendency is to absorb fats, try using © mineral oil as. a salad dressing. Eat — plenty ‘of green vegetables—vegetables~ that grow above the ground. Most of us ~ need very little of the vegetables that — grow under ground. Very few of us.need — potatoes or very much starch. We all need fruit juices, especially the kind that — leave an alkaline ash. Two-thirds of ~ all digestive troubles rise from eating too ~ much food that leaves an acid waste in the system. In that list are the red meats, © starches and shellfish. Y ou can’t keep your heart and blood — vessels in proper condition or your di- — gestion working unless your. lungs are ~ functionmg properly... Your lungs can’t © function properly unless. your nasal ~ passages are clear. Look at the next ~ three or four very old. people that you — meet and I will wager that all of them will — have large nostrils. They have wide, © free, open air passages from outdoors to — the lungs. .They breathe deeply from — natural habit, because it is easier for — them-to breathe deeply than otherwise. — Do something every day which will fill — your lungs as full as they will hold with — fresh outdoor air, at least twenty times. That is a very small instalment on the price of old.age and an easy one to pay. It all sums up to this. We live longer — than primitive man because we have © better facilities for avoiding the risks © which primitive man runs, and because ~ we know more about taking care of our — teeth. But we do not live as long, in the © crowded civilization of the cities and the — did fifty, seventy-five or a hundred years ~ ago. However, every one of us who.is — still under forty can pick the age to which — he intends to live and come pretty close to — reaching the goal set for himself if he will — begin now to train his lungs, his heart and ~ his digestion, avoid getting fat and culti- ~ vate the habit of not worrying. How long do you want to live? | The time to make up your mind is — now, because every year, the vital statis- — tics tell us, it is getting harder and harder — to live to a ripe old age.

Behind the hiker wearing Bass Mocca- sins is the shadow of the American Indian, noted for his surefootedness and his tirelessness on the trail. It was the Indian who originated the Moccasin, the kind of footwear that even modern scientific research has been unable to improve upon for foot comfort, lightness and durability. Bass Moccasins for hiking are built according to the Indian’s specifica- tions, except that soles and heels have been added to meet walking condi- tions. The Moccasins illustrated, one for men and one for women, have been selected as best for hiking by Mr. Ed- gar Forest Wolfe, editor of _ Physical Culture Out- doors Free Booklet showing many different styles, and name of nearest dealer sent on request. —Write for it to i G.H. BASS & CO. 4150 Main Street - Wilton 33 Maine Physical Culture Footpaths to Paradise Continued from page 47 present a picture of him herewith as a fine example of a boy who didn’t curl up and quit when he faced the discouraging fact that he wasn’t physically right, but who went out and found health where it lives—in the Great Outdoors. Walking is probably the oldest of all human activities—and certainly the most important. At the beginning of things, before the invention of mechanical modes of transportation and before beasts of burden had been trained to do man’s bidding, it was the only means available for getting from one point to another. The great danger of this motor age is that the temptation to ease and comfort will so obsess such a large proportion of the population that the only use future gen- erations will have for the legs that God gave us is to walk to the garage, the air-. plane hangar or the subway station— and national decadence is sure to follow when a nation quits walking. The fall of the great Roman Empire dates from that period in which Romans | began to substitute entertainment—that which somebody else does for us—for recreation—that which we do for our- selves. A few Spartans grew stronger and more powerful because they kept themselves physically fit providing ath- letic entertainment in the amphithe- aters—the great army of Romans grew weaker because they were content to be the audience. The silver lining to this motor-age cloud is the great army of hiking clubs that have sprung up all over the country and the growing number of those of both sexes who have established a boycott on transportation lines and now walk to and from work. Big business executives, realizing that physical fitness in their organization means increased efficiency, are contributing to the cause of getting health outdoors and several institutions I know of give monthly bonuses to those of their office employees who walk to and from work every morning and evening, and the executives themselves set the example by pursuing this course. One of these executives informs me that since they adopted this policy the percentage of absences from duty because of illness has decreased and the amount of work performed by the office personnel has increased to such an extent that they have been able to adopt the five-day week, with the understanding that this extra day off is to be devoted to hiking or other forms of outdoor recreation. Ir IS doubtful if the non-walker realizes to what extent the practise of hiking has grown in the United States in recent years. As I write this I have before me a list of over 500 hiking clubs that have been organized in various cities and localities throughout the country, and this is by no means a complete list. Every one of these clubs participate in week-end hikes, and many of them indulge in more ex- tended hiking trips. They are discover- ing the pleasures of trail travel, and through their influence and physical aid thousands of miles of hiking trails with overnight shelters have been created through the woods and over the hills and mountains off the public highways, con- stituting veritable paths to paradise for those who trod them on foot. One great hiking highway—the Appa- lachian Trail—is 2,000 miles in length. It has its northern terminus at Mount Katahdin, Maine, and its southern end at Stone Mountain, Georgia. In the 40,000-acre Harriman State Park, adja- cent to New York City where it is easily accessible for the week-end hikers, the hiking clubs of the Metropolitan district have laid out and marked with small copper signs nine hiking trails that lead over the rough hills and through the woodlands of the Ramapo Mountains and have created overnight camps for the use of hikers making two- or three-day trips or even longer journeys over these trails. THE two longest of these hiking trails— the Suffern-Bear Mountain and_ the Dunderburg Trails — are thirty and twenty-five miles long respectively. The Colorado Mountain Club of Denver and Colorado Springs has laid out miles of hiking trails that lead over the Colorado mountains, where they spend their hik- ing vacations. All the National Parks of the West contain a network of foot trails, where every year more and more vaca- tionists are learning that hiking is the most enjoyable way to see these nature’s wonderlands. All along the Pacific Coast from Seattle to San Diego there is a con- tinuous stretch of hiking trails that lead through the national forests, the High Sierras, around Mount Rainier, through beautiful Yosemite and the Big Tree country. ; In California there is the Sierra Club, the California Mountain Club, the Cali- fornia Alpine Club, the Contra Costa Hills Club and numerous others—Los Angeles has one hiking club with a mem- bership of over 1100 and its regular weekly hikes are participated in by as many as 450 on the same trip. Washing- ton has the Mount Baker Club, the Spokane Mountaineers, the Klahano Club, Seattle Alpine Club, and a score of others. The Atlantic Seaboard had its Tramp and Trail Association, the Dart- mouth Hiking Club, Green Mountain Club, Adirondack Club, Westchester Trails Association and a hundred other hiking organizations, the Metropolitan District of New York City alone having upward of fifty hiking organizations. The Middle West has probably the largest single organization in the Ohio Valley Hikers’ Association, which pub- lishes its own official organ. Added to this great army of walkers who make a constant practise of getting out on the paths that lead over the hills off the public highways is the constantly increasing number of those indoor work- ers who walk to work in the morning and back home again in the evening. And few of these there are who, once having experienced the joys of walking and the glow of health that accompanies it, are content to limit their walking to the city pavement that stretches between their ~ <3

3S ae | _ November, 1930 home and their place of business. When the week-end or a vacation period comes _ along they feel the urge to get into a pair of broad-toed shoes and some old hiking — clothes and get out into the open—for the mere act of wearing comfortable shoes and old, soft clothes in itself con- stitutes restful recreation. If you are in New York City, stand on a corner of Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue some morning between nine and ten E ~ o’clock and note the number of prosperous looking business men over fifty years of age who are swinging along with a brisk stride on their way to the office, or stand on Brooklyn Bridge and note the number of the same type of business men who have discovered the joy of walking over from Brooklyn and breathing into their lungs the sea air that sweeps the span. If you are in Pittsburg, stand at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Forbes Street, in the Oakland district, at the same hour and see the number of business men who walk all the way from their homes in East End to their offices in downtown Pittsburg. Try the same thing on Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, or any main artery that connects the residence district with the downtown office section in any other city. Girls in particular should take up hiking and do more walking as a regular diet. .I have in mind the advice given by a specialist to a young lady who con- sulted him about what to do for the im- provement of her complexion. He told her to go to a drug store and purchase a box of cosmetics, and to take it three miles out into the woods somewhere and hide it in a hollow stump—then to walk out before breakfast every morning and see if it were still there. RECENTLY this magazine published the story of Harriet Geithmann and Thelma Myer, two girls from the state of Washing- ton who are members of the Camp Fire Girls, who spent a seven-day vacation in hiking clothes hiking the full length of Wonderland Trail that winds for ninety miles around Mount Rainier, packing their outfit on their backs and camping out at night along the trail. Several years ago I met four New York girls at Chateau Lake Louise, in the Canadian Rockies, who were hiking from New York City to San Francisco by way of the Canadian Rockies and earning their way by working for short periods as stenographers, secre- taries or on other jobs wherever they could find them at various points along the way. They stopped at the best hotels, shipping their swell gowns on ahead and wearing knickers and hiking clothes with knapsacks on their backs while hiking between stops. They had taken to the outdoor hiking trail to overcome indoor = ailments from which all of them had suffered and said they were having the time of their young lives and were piling up a store of good health. November is the month to take to the hiking trails, for then the heat of the day is not oppressive and the air is just in- vigorating enough to stimulate one to intensive outdoor activity. Throughout the greater part of United States, No- vember and December are the best hiking months of the year and pay the biggest = dividends in health in return for the effort, for then the active exercise in the 83 The New Model. ““SEAT OF HEALTH” Builds Strong, Healthy, Body-Builder and Reducer panconnney ree ‘ Beautiful Bodies!

Before taking the hiking trail, however, it is well to see that you are properly clothed and equipped. Hence we append the following brief advice on Hints to Hikers Most important of all to the hiker is the matter of footwear. Uncomfortable shoes or sore feet or blistered heels will soon take all the joy out of walking, so look well to your footwear and never hike in just ‘‘any old shoes.” The “last” of the average dress shoe will never do for hiking over rough trails or tramping up hill and down. I recall once stopping off the train at Glacier National Park in Montana without any equipment for the trail, and starting out from Going-to-the- Sun Chalet for a day’s hike up Piegan Trail to the Divide and back again. The trip back was all down hill, and I had on narrow-toed shoes, my toes being con- tinually jammed up into the narrow point of those shoes. When I returned to the Chalet that night I could hardly walk, and the skin was worn off the top of every one of my toes. Luckily, I didn’t have to do any walking the next day. Shoes for hiking can not be too care- fully selected. The human foot is com- posed of twenty-six small bones held to- gether by tendons and gristle which must have room to expand and contract in walking—lack of which is a common de- fect in the average dress shoe that is made to conform to style. A proper hiking shoe is broad enough in the toe to give the toes room to spread out from the pressure of your weight on the ground, and must be of the moccasin- toe type. The moccasin type does not crowd the toes, and they permit the bottoms of the toes to rest on the soles of the shoes with each toe receiving its proper proportion of the weight of the body in walking—not the wear and tear coming on the ends of the toes as it does in the case of the average dress shoe. In the moccasin type of shoe, properly shaped to the foot, the small bones of the instep and across the ball of the foot are given room to spread out and work back and forth in the action of walking, thus preventing the “‘foot-tiring” that is sure to result from protracted walking in shoes that hold these small bones of the foot rigid. Remember that the small muscles and tendons of the foot must be given room to exercise the same as those of the body in order to prevent their be- coming weak. THE shoes must be made of soft, pliable leather that will not harden in drying after they have become wet, and though broad and roomy in the toe they should fit snugly under the arch of the foot and around the heel. If they don’t fit snugly under the arch of the foot, and if the “last”? is too straight with the an- side not cut in sufficiently to help support the arch at the side of the foot, tired feet are sure to result on long hikes. If the hard leather around the heel isn’t properly shaped, with the front edge of this hard leather pressing in too sharply, as is the case in so many shoes, blistered heels will follow. Pier OS Naa a a ee) ee = Reyer as CO PR EE re a eh A gee reds _ ee = eee ie Physical Culture — Get your shoes large enough to permit — you to wear heavy, soft, woolen socks— ~ and wash the socks several times before wearing them, as the more you wash them the thicker and softer woolen socks be- come. Don’t go out on the hiking trail with new woolen socks that have never been washed. Heavy woolen socks— with two pairs in the winter—form a soft comfortable cushion for the feet. If you are one of those sensitive souls who can’t wear woolen next to your skin, pullona — light pair of cotton stockings first and wear your heavy woolen hose over these. Incidentally, a sure way to prevent heel blisters is to soap well the inside of the heels of a pair of cotton stockings and 4 put these on under your woolen hose— it is impossible to contract heel blisters if you do this. For hiking, never get shoes over four- teen inches high in the tops, as the “knee high” tops come up over the “‘bunched” - muscles in the calf of the leg which re- quire room for free action in walking and the laced tops bind these too tightly. The fourteen-inch tops are high enough to give good support to the ankle and the tendons immediately above the ankle, and not high enough on the average person to interfere with freedom of action of the q muscles in the upper calf of the leg. Also, the higher tops have a tendency to “break” badly about the ankle and if this results wrinkles are apt to rub blisters on 4 your ankles. / T NEVER pays to buy shoes for hiking “just because they are cheap,” any more — than it does to buy automobile tires for the same reason. When you get a “blow- out” on an automobile trip, you are hung up and waste more time and money than if you had got the best tires in the first place and when you get sore feet on a hiking trip you are through. Therefore be sure that your shoes are of a sufficiently good grade and high enough in price to have soles that are made of a strong, even grade of sole leather so that these will not wear down — unevenly, and the tops made of leather — If the soles of — your shoes wear down unevenly, or the — heels get “‘runover” at the side, it will — cause uneven pressure to be exerted on — that is soft and pliable. your feet so that sore feet will result. The soles should be thick and heavy, 7 but for the average hiker I would not ~ advocate hobnails. Hobnailed soles are useful in hiking over dirt trails or through — the woods where constant tramping on — fallen leaves or grass will soon make ~ leather soles smooth and slippery, and — you get a better and more secure foothold _ in climbing hills in hobnails. But if much — hiking has to be done on concrete or as- phalt highways hobnails are a clattering — Also in — cold winter weather the frost goes right — up the hobnail to the soles of the feet and — nuisance to the average hiker. it is difficult to keep the feet warm. Some day some shoe manufacturer may — make a sandal with a rivet-studded sole to fit the fore part of the shoe only, with — a strap to buckle around the heel, that — a fellow can carry in his pocket—and it ~ will be a great boon for the hiker. For ~ then he can have leather soles without hobnails when hiking on concrete, and (Continued on page 86) ae ee ee ee ee — in ah . Laie a Re Erase 2 See. -! vy ; Qe <a 7 : : ot - = S a

Never hike in your old castoff dress shoes. Get special hiking shoes of the moccasin-toe type described above, and then always see that they are kept in good repair. Also keep them well greased with neatsfoot oil or sheep’s tallow after every trip, and if they become wet never dry them with artificial heat. Don’t set them close to a stove or fire or over a hot air register to dry them out, as this takes all the life and “‘temper”’ out of the leather and makes it brittle so that your shoes will soon crack and become useless. Dry | them slowly in the sun or in a warm room with the shoes placed away back in a far corner from the fire. The best way to dry out shoes that have become wet in- side is to obtain a quantity of oats and fill the shoes to the top with oat grains. The oats will absorb the dampness from the leather, and as the oats swell up from the dampness empty the shoes and. fill them again and again with dry oats until the oats remain dry in the shoes. The shoes will then be found to be thor- oughly dried out. A GREAT many women and girls, who are accustomed to wearing high-heeled shoes, imagine that they could not wear low-heeled shoes of the hiking type, and they detest the appearance of high-top shoes. There is a hiking shoe for women, however, that overcomes all these femi- nine objections. This shoe is made of soft elk hide, in tan or white, with mocca- sin toe, and with nine-inch tops that are high enough to give good support to the ankle. The strong feature of this shoe, from the feminine point of view, is the fact that the inside of the shoe is cut well in under the foot and gives good — support to the high feminine instep sothat — girls accustomed to wearing high heels can wear this low heel shoe with perfect com- fort, in addition to which this shaping to the form of the feminine foot gives the shoe a neat appearance, and as it is light in weight it removes all the objections that girls frequently have to the wearing of outdoor shoes. Care of the feet is another important matter for hikers. Before going on an extended hiking trip prepare the feet by soaking them two or three times a week for a period of a month or so in a strong solution of brine made by dissolving rock salt in warm water. Then when on the trail grease between the toes with vaseline every morning before taking the trail, and bathe the feet in warm water every evening. Always trim the toe nails straight across—never round the end of the toe. Trimming them straight will prevent ingrown nails. One who hasn’t done much walking should exercise the muscles and tendons of the feet and the calf of the legs by placing two books on the floor, standing with the toes on the edge of these books and the rest of the foot extending out over the edge, then lower the heels till they -touch the floor and raise up on the toes © again, repeating until tired. Then re- — verse with the heels on the edge of the books, and lower the toes till they touch the floor. This will strengthen those parts that grow tired first in hiking. With shoes properly selected as de- scribed above, with woolen clothing and a good all-wool sweater or ““windbreaker”’ to pull on to prevent chillmg when stop- ping along the trail, the hiker this season = of the year will find paths to a paradise — of perfect health stretching through the — November woods and out over the hills, The Physical Culture Creed We Believe: First: That our bodies are our most glorious possession; that health- wealth is our greatest asset; that every influence which interferes with the attainment of superb, buoyant health should be recog- nized as a menace. We maintain that weakness is truly a crime; that sickness is the penalty of violated health laws; that every man can be a vigorous, vital specimen of masculinity; that every woman can be a splendidly strong, well- poised specimen of femininity, IF THE LAWS OF LIFE ARE RIGIDLY OBSERVED. We believe that the require- ments in the building of glori- ous health are: Pure air and sunlight whenever ob- tainable; thorough ventilation of living rooms. Second: Wholesome diet of vital foods, well masticated, eaten only at the dic- tates of a normal appetite; frequent fasting of a day or two if needed. Reasonable regular use of the mus- cular system throughout the entire body, in work, in the gymnasium, on the athletic field, or otherwise. Thorough cleanliness, which _re- quires frequent baths—cold baths for a tonic, hot baths for cleanliness —though dry friction with the open ste brush or towel is also valu- able. Right mental attitude; thinking is a powerful factor in maintaining vital health, and can be construc- tive or destructive. The mind can build up or tear you down.

Finally I was married to a fine, understanding man. For a time I seemed much better. A complete change in my manner of living, together with the steadying influence of a soundly balanced man, brought about a wonderful im- provement in my physical and mental condition. “Then once more, I began to worry. Every little thing was a source of distress to me. If my husband’s brother or his mother—both of whom I liked im- mensely—were invited in for dinner, I’d worry so much about getting the meal that my husband finally stopped asking them to the house. ; “It was the same with all our friends, who used to come in for an evening— when we would dance, or play cards, or listen to the radio, and have a jolly time generally. “My husband finally gave up any at- tempt at social life and spent all his spare time trying to help me. I guess I’ve had about every kind of treatment under the sun—although for the last three years I haven’t taken anything but mental treatment. My old doctor told me that my trouble was all in my mind, so I figured that there was only one way to cure it, and that would be through the mind, *“T’ve been psychoanalyzed, and had all sorts of mental treatments and faith cures, but I’m as you see me now; and I’ve completely lost hope of ever being any better.” My PATIENT concluded her narra- tive with that touch of defiance in her voice which disclosed to the trained physi- cian and psychologist the fact that she had developed quite a little maudlin de- mand for sympathy. I saw that here was a case that could be ‘“‘killed by too much kindness.” I knew from long experience that if any- thing constructive were to be done for this girl it would have to be done by stern, serious measures. She would have to be shocked out of her dependent and self- dwelling attitude, and made to think more of the rights and comforts of others. My plan of campaign was already per- fected. First I determined, by a careful physical examination, that there was nothing organically wrong with the girl. Then I sent specimens of her blood and other secretions to the laboratory, and satisfied myself that she was absolutely free from any serious disease. She did have two conditions, how- ever—as the urinalysis disclosed—that were sufficiently marked to furnish causes for a considerable part of her trouble. These two factors were a heavy deposit of phosphates in the urine, and an enormous excess of indican. The presence of these dense clouds of phosphates in the lower part of the test tube showed conclusively that actual nerve substance was being lost from the thicken or coagulate, as the white of an : ‘Physical Crlture. body—and lost in alarming quantities. — And, by the way, anyone whose urine — shows heavy grayish clouds in the bottom — of a vessel in which the urine has been — allowed to cool can test this matter for ’ himself by heating a small bottle of the — fluid over the burner of the gas range. If the grayish cloud clears up when heated, — he may rest assured that the cloudy de- — posit is largely composed of a 3 This means an abnormal wastage of nerve- — cell material. If, on the other hand, the cloud should 4 egg does on heating or boiling, it is more ~ than likely that the urinary cloud is com- 4 posed of albumin. In this event no time should be lost in seeking competent — medical advice. However, the most significant factor in my patient’s urine was not the presence — of a large quantity of phosphates. It was — her excess of indican—one of the most — significant findings in any specimen, and — one to’ which the average physician pays — but little attention. For this excess of — indican proved, beyond the shadow of a —~ doubt, that the upper intestine was ~ generating a tremendous amount of | poison from the putrefactive fermentation — of albuminous material in the intestinal — canal. This toxic material was absorbed ~ through the walls of the canal into the blood stream, and from thence carried to | every nerve and tissue cell in the body. — It was the constant irritation of these~ highly poisonous products that was_ largely responsible for her alternating — attacks of nervous irritability and depres-_ sion. She could no more get rid of this — condition with medicine or mental treat-_ . ment than she could remove a splinter or an ingrowing toenail by medicine or byl mental suggestion. ‘There was only one ~ way in all the world to clear out this” poison factory and to keep it cleaned out,” and that. was to live absolutely in con-— formity with Nature’s laws—as concerns diet, exercise, elimination, and the physi@ eal culture life generally. 4 So I sent for this young woman anda questioned her carefully as to what she ate and drank, how she lived, how much — exercise she got every day, her habits of” bathing, sleeping, recreation—in short, 7 how near she came to living in harmony ~ with natural law. I found out that she ~ was all wrong. She had never received” any“real instruction regarding a properly balanced diet or a harmonious hygienic” régime. , “Now listen, young lady,” I said, when ~ I found this out. ‘You can’t go on liv- ing in this haphazard way, if you ever want to get well.

First” and foremost, I want you to take a com-_ plete course of colonic irrigation and get~ all the accumulated poisons out of the intestinal canal.

Mr. Linwood is the father of these two fine children you see there are two more at home. But it isn’t children he is talking He speaks about 5 books he owns. He got them a year and a half ago and he got them (just as you can) by turning to page 10 in the front of this issue. Read what that page says and learn how you can obtain these books on 1 Culture Institute of - Nutrition. _ - Physical Culture q Continued fsom page 88 poisonous substance, you not only will be rid of the evil of absorbing the toxins into the system, but you'll free the. mouths of the little ducts, the villi, that convey the digested food pabulum from the intestine into the system, where. it can be utilized to build up your nerves, as well as your body. “Then you must cut down on the amount of meat, eggs and other albu- minous food and eat more fruit and green vegetables. You don’t need meat oftener than once a day. Twice a week might be even better, and I would suggest eating no meat at all for a time. Don’t forget that it is the decomposition of meat and other protein foods in the intestine that is chiefly responsible for this putrefac- tion disclosing itself as indican in the urine. Also meat is an acid-forming food, and so is the white of eggs. “i You will have to avoid cies acid- forming foods, such as white bread and all white-flour products, doughnuts, pas- tries, cakes, candy, and fried foods gen- erally. Cut down the amount of starches in your diet and for bread eat only whole wheat. Use only whole grain cereals. Milk will more than take the place of meat. And be sure to eat plentifully of fruits, green salads, and all kinds of leafy vegetables. Just live on them. ‘“‘Be sure to drink a half dozen or more glasses of water daily—-either hot or cold as you prefer—for water helps to reduce the acidity of the blood and the body fluids. It helps also to stimulate the liver and remove poisons from the system through both bowels and kidneys.” ‘What about tea and coffee?” she in- quired. : “Well, many authorities believe that nervous diseases and the worries they develop are produced and then aggravated by the drinking of tea and coffee. I haven’t found this quite true, if tea is weak, freshly made and drunk hot. Naturally if you absorb a dozen or more cups of strong tea every day, the thein contained in this ‘tea-jag’ is going to over- stimulate the nervous system, while the tannin content of the tea is bound to dry up the secretions. This will increase your nervousness. Also, it will tend to make you more constipated, and thereby increase the amount of poison you'll be absorbing—to the detriment of your nerves and to vour general health. “JT didn’t ask you whether you drank alcoholic beverages, although I can see by the vellow stain on your fingers that you smoke. Now let me tell you that any form of alcoholic drink is, always has been, and always: will be a cause for physical and nervous deterioration. Al- cohol is poisonous in any dosage, but more particularly in small doses, con- stantly repeated—the way the average moderate drinker takes it, for the system gets no opportunity to recover from its in- fluence. The nerves have no chance to stage a comeback from the cumulative buffetings of the alcohol. ‘Now about your smoking. You'll hear a lot of talk about how smoking soothes the nerves and stimulates the brain. Don’t believe a word of it. Smoking raises the blood pressure, in- creases the rapidity of the heart action, See page 4.

re oon November, 1930 and sometimes even brings about an intermittent condition of this organ. It causes nervous irritability, insomnia, and a whole lot of these symptoms that are common to people like yourself. Better discontinue it, young lady. “And see that you get plenty of ex- ercise every day, preferably in the open air. Walk three miles every day—later five miles. Learn to practise deep breath- ing. See that your skin is kept active by daily baths and a brisk rubdown with a coarse towel. Take a quick shower, first warm then cold, after your morning exercise, or even after your walk, then the rubdown. If you are too nervous to sleep, at night, or lie awake worrying, get up and take a tepid tub bath for a half hour. Be sure this is not hot or cold, but just warm, at body temperature. Better get a bath thermometer and make sure your water is at 95 to 98 degrees . Fahrenheit. This is the perfect and most dependable nerve-soother known. *“Sun-baths will help you—even a sun lamp, in winter, but be careful to follow instructions and don’t get an overdose. Also have periods of complete relaxation each day, lying down perfectly limp, and trying to keep the mind a blank. You can learn to do this. A few minutes of it will do a lot for you. “Try to keep busy. And don’t feel sorry for yourself. Just forget self for awhile and think of others—of their troubles and their great needs, and do all that lies in your power to try to relieve these troubles and overcome these needs. You can’t imagine what a wonderful kick you will get out of helping someone else climb back out of the ditch.” My patient cooperated to the fullest possible extent. She backslid a few times—something that all experienced doctors, who understand the frailty of human nature, always expect. Yet she always straightened out in fine shape. After four months this young woman was discharged as completely cured. This was about two years ago, and she shows not the slightest evidence of ever developing any of her old _ neurotic trouble. And there isn’t a particle of reason why she ever should—if she con- tinues to follow out her sensible, hygienic way of living. What she has done can be duplicated by anyone who will map out a proper, natural course of living, and stick to 7. Anyone who does this can’t go wrong. That Man Muldoon By the way, this man Muldoon must be getting on. We have been hearing about him all our lives. He is an American institution. How old is he? What is he doing? How is he? Well, Muldoon is very much alive at thank you, and Wain- eighty-five, wright Evans will tell you in the pages of PHYSICAL CULTURE next month the remarkable story of this remark- able man—this ‘‘Builder of Men’’ who has done his best work on himself.

[can and many of my pupils can. It is remarkable the things a man really can do if he will make up his mind to be strong. It is natural for the human body to be strong. [tis unnatural to be weak. I have taken men who were ridiculed because of their frail make-up and developed them into the strongest men of their locality. I Want You For 90 Days _ These are the days that call for speed. It once took four weeks to cross the ocean—now it takes less than one. In olden days it took years to develop a strong, healthy body. I can completely transform you in 90 days. Yes, make a complete change in your entire physical make-up. In 30 days I guarantee to increase your biceps one fullinch. I also guarantee to increase your chest -two inches. But I[ don’t quit there. I don’t stop till you’re a finished athlete—a real strong man. I will broaden your shoulders, deepen your chest, strengthen your neck. I will give you the arms and legs of a Hercules. I will put an armor plate of muscle over your entire body. But with it come the strong, powerful lungs which enrich the blood, putting new life into your entire being. You will be bubbling over with strength, pep and vitality. A Doctor Who Takes His Own Medicine Many say that any form of exercise is good, but this is not true. [I have seen men working in, the factories and mills who literally killed themselves with exercise. They ruined their hearts or other vital organs, ruptured themselves or killed off what little vitality they possessed. I was a frail weakling myself in search of health and strength. I spent years in study and research, analyzing my own defects to find what I needed. After. many tests and experiments, [| discovered a secret of progressive exercising. I increased my own arms over six and a half inches, my neck three inches and other parts of my’ body in proportion. I decided to become a public benefactor and impart this knowledge to others. Physicians and the highest authorities on physica] culture have tested my system and pronounced it to be the surest means of acquiring perfect manhood. Do you crave a strong, well-proportioned body and the abundance of health that goes with it? Are you true to your- self?

Since birth they have been troubled with constipation and I tried every known remedy in line of medicine for babies, but with it all they were etting worse, lost weight and appe- tites and were so irri- table. As for myself I suffered for six years with constipation and five years with severe headaches. But the doctors all said my condition was chronic. Two years ago I had a 4 backache continually and I got so bad about nine months ago that I simply had to do something, so went to a specialist. He told me I should be operated on right away or I would have serious trouble. Being a stranger then out west I hesitated and kept putting it off. One evening while looking over one of your magazines I hap- pened to see about the Encyclopedia of Physical Culture, so decided I would at least give it a trial since there was. no money to lose. That is five months ago now and after following a few of the simple rules in three months I had completely cured my babies of constipation and they are now normal healthy children. I have also cured myself of chronic constipation and headaches and have no more backaches. enjoyed the good health that I do now and I expect to _keep on enjoying same.

Could you please advise us the best route to take from New York to California. A. E. F., Brooklyn, N. Y. Answer—There is only one feasible route to take across the continent during the winter months, and that is by way of the South and the Old Spanish Trail, which leads from Jack- sonville, Fla., along the Gulf Coast through Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso, Tex., Tucson, Phoenix, and Yuma, Ariz., then across Southern California to Los Angeles. Unless you wish to visit Florida enroute you can save considerable mileage by taking Route 28 through Easton and Reading to Harrisburg, Pa., then U. S. Route 11 south through Cham- bersburg, Pa., and down the ShenandoahValley of Virginia through Winchester and Natural Bridge to Roanoke, through Bristol, Knoxville and Chattanooga in Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama, and Meridian, Miss., to New Or- leans, connecting with the Old Spanish Trail at New Orleans. Dear Sir: Could you tell me the best camping equip- ment, tent, cooking utensils, etc., to get for an auto camping tour? Is it necessary to buy a special cooking kit, or would utenstls from the home kitchen do? Is a gasoline stove neces- sary? FE. L. W., Brookville, Pa. ANSWER—In these days of so many auto tourists’ camps nothing is really necessary— but there is a lot that is mighty. convenient. You can cook over a wood fire without a stove, but you will have to spend hours after each meal scouring the soot off your pots and pans. a windshield to protect the flame from the wind is advisable. You can also use cooking utensils from your own kitchen, but if you do you are apt to find them all over your car and taking up more room than your entire equipment should. For this reason it pays to purchase one of the “‘nested’’ aluminum cooking kits in which all the utensils fit inside the largest pot. It saves a lot of trouble on the road, and they cost only $10. They save you more than that in time and trouble and cuss words. . The best tent is an ordinary A-type canvas tent with which you don’t need to be bothered with guy ropes and tent pegs. You can buy this at any Army and Navy store or at any store that sells outdoor equipment. Balloon silk is better but it won’t stand much wear and is expensive. Folding army cots and a couple of blankets each is the most convenient sleeping equipment.

S A. 8. M., Albany, N. Yas Answer—While there are plenty of wild — places in the western part of Maine, notably ~ out from Jackman and across Northwest Carry — at the northern end of Moosehead Lake, these — are mostly located far from auto roads or any ~ railroad point. I would say that your best ~ place would be in the eastern part of Maine, ~ somewhere in the Grand Lake section out from ~ Princeton, in the southeastern corner of the ~ state; along the Fish River Chain of lakes in © the northeastern corner of the state; or along — the Allagash River in the northern section.

Dear Sir: Where is the nearest place to New York City that I can enjoy winter sports such as ski jumping, .tobogganing, etc. | W.S. T., New York, N. Y. ANSWER—Bear Mountain, just about forty miles up the Hudson from New York City, has one of the best ski jumps in the country, and last winter they provided assurance of snow by storing the early snow in a shaded canyon from which it could be hauled out and put on the ski jump when there was no snow any- where else. You can always learn if there is any winter sports’ activity up there by calling up the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, 25 Broadway, New York. _ Aside from Bear Mountain, the nearest places at which you can be assured of winter sports are Lake Placid, and Briarcliff, New York, and Berlin, New Hampshire. — Dear Sir: Is it possible for one to get from New York up the Hudson River and through Lake Champlain into the St. Lawrence River by motorboat? E. F. W., Jersey City, N. J. AnsweR—Yes. Go up the Hudson to Al- bany, then through the Barge Canal into Lake Champlain and down the Richelieu River into the St. Lawrence. Dear Sir: br I want to spend the winter in Florida for my health, and would like to go where there is good fishing so I will have some interesting di- version to keep me busy in the open air. Where would I find the best fishing in Florida? O. L. J., Baltimore, Md. AnswEer—The West Coast of Florida has better fishing than the East Coast for the average fisherman who just wants to catch any kind of fish. But for game fishing—that is, kingfish, tarpon, barracuda, and the other big fighting fish of Florida waters, the vicinity of Miami and Fort Lauderdale and the Florida — Keys are better than the West Coast points. There is no fishing to amount to anything in the northern section of the East Coast—from Jacksonville to Miami—as this is all open ocean with few bays or reefs to make fishing grounds. For the average man who just wants to be kept busy catching fish I would recommend Fort Myers, on the southern Gulf Coast of Florida. Here you will find good fishing with- out going far out and inland there are a number of good bass lakes. For big game fishing Long Key, on the Florida East Coast Extension be- tween the Florida mainland and Key West, is the best place on this continent.

It was a message just such as this that dynamited me out of the slough of dullness and wretched health into the sunlit atmosphere of happiness, vitality and vigor. To me, and no doubt to you, an Internal Bath was something that had never come within my sphere of knowledge. So I tore off a coupon similar to the one shown below. I wanted to find out what it was all about. And back came a booklet. This booklet was named ‘‘Why We Should Bathe Internally.” It was facts. What Is an Internal Bath? This was my first shock. Vaguély I had an idea that an internal bath was an enema. Or, by a stretch of the imagination, a new-fangled lax- ative. In both cases I was wrong. A ‘real, genuine, true internal bath is no more like an enema than a kite is like an airplane. The only similarity is the employment of water in each case. And so far as laxatives are concerned, I printer one thing—to abstain from them com- pletely. A bona fide internal bath is the administration into the intestinal tract of pure, warm water, Tyrrellized by a marvelous cleansing tonic. The appliance that holds the liquid and injects it is the J. B. L. Cascade, the invention of that emi- nent physician, Dr. Charles A. Tyrrell, who per- fected it to save his own life. Now here’s where the genuine internal bath differs radically from the enema. The lower intestine, called by the great Pro- fessor Foges of Vienna “the most prolific source of disease,’”’ is five feet long and shaped like an inverted U—thus ). The enema cleanses but a third of this “‘horseshoe’’—or to the first bend. The J. B. L. Cascade treatment cleanses it the entire length—and is the only appliance that does. You have only to read that booklet ‘‘Why We Should Bathe Internally’ to fully under- stand how the Cascade alone can do this. There is absolutely no pain or discomfort. Why Take an Internal Bath?. Here is why: The intestinal tract is the waste canal of the body. Due to our soft foods, lack of vigorous exercise and highly artificial civiliza- tion, nine‘ out of ten persons suffer from intesti- nal stasis (delay). The passage of waste is Did You Ever Take INTERNAL Bath? just choked with common sense and - \ 97 entirely too slow. Result: Germs and_ poisons breed in this waste and: enter the blood through the blood vessels in the intestinal walls. - These poisons are extremely insidious. The headaches you get—the skin pblemishes—the fatigue—the mental sluggishness—the suspecti- bility. to colds—and countless other ills are di- rectly due to the presence of these poisons in your system. They are the generi¢ causes of premature old age, rheumatism, high blood pres- sure and many serious maladies:. z Thus it is imperative that your system be free of these poisons. And the only sure and effective means is internal bathing. In fifteen’ minutes it flushes the intestinal tract of all impurities. And each treatment strengthens the intestinal muscles so the passage of waste is hastened. Immediate Benefits Taken just before retiring, you will ‘sleep like a child. You will rise with a vigor that ‘is bubbling over. _Your whole attitude toward life - will be changed. All clouds will be laden with silver. You will feel rejuvenated—remade.

Any. of these things will move your bowels, but they all leave you worse off than before. Any doctor will tell you that every one of them is either habit forming or irritating to the delicate lining of your intestines. The longer you go with these temporary helps the worse your con- stipation becomes and the more you have to take to get results. An enormous number of ople who go on taking laxative drugs all the while ante end up with toxemia or autointoxication. The poisons of decaying food in their intestines, poison their whole system. They suffer from headaches, dizzy spells, nervousness, spots before the eyes, indigestion, stomach gas and a horde of alarming symptoms, The more drugs they take, the worse off they are, run down, ailing, doctoring and worn out. Your own doctor will tell you the only reason he ever prescribes a laxative is because heretofore there was nothing else to do. Constipated people had to get relief even 1f it was only temporary. Now that’s all changed. Many of the worst consti- pated people can get back to perfectly normal bowel movements in three or four days’ time. A natural seed bowel tonic from Europe has brought about this amazing change. Its use is now approved by leading doctors and the greatest medical associations. This little seed called Seedol works in a perfectly natural way. It combines al! the advantages of agar, and mineral oil without their disadvantages. By swelling, it provides bulk; its coating gives you bulk without irritation, because it coats the mass with its own oil, thus soothing and lubricating the : tender bowel wall. There is no griping, no leaking, no bad taste in the mouth, no upset stomach; just normal, natural, daily bowel movements as if you had never had a bit of trouble in all your life. When constipation is ended, all the frightening symp- toms of intestinal poisoning begin to disappear—in most cases in a few days’ time. No more dizziness, heart peleitatton. belching or weakness: You get regular ealthy bowel action and new strength, energy and en- durance—and real rest out of your sleep.

Our Physical Culture Mothers and Babies Helpful Experiences and Lessons in Baby Care Don Chadwick Redding, taking his sun- bath with Mother. Don is as brown as a little papoose, for almost every day is sunny in Jacksonville, Florida A Message to Young Mothers To THE Eprror AND Fettow READERS: People often said to me when they learned that I had become a mother-to-be: “You are too small to have a baby, aren’t you afraid?” I explained to them that I was not afraid be- cause I was healthy. I was four feet eleven inches tall and weighed only eighty-eight pounds, but simple physical culture rules had kept me well and I knew my muscles were firm and my body flexible and strong. However, my doctor told \ me I must diet because I could not have a large baby. I ate principally of green vege- tables, fruit, whole-grain cereals and milk. Nausea, and the fainting, dizzy spells so many women experience at this time, were strangers to me, and I attribute my merciful exemption to diet, fresh air and walks. In spite of my smallness, I gave birth to a breech baby without any injurious effects either to him or myself. ‘| Little Don Chad- wick Redding measured nineteen inches in height and weighed five pounds six and one- half ounces. You can readily imagine how very thin he was. How pitiful he looked with his sharp little face and thé loose skin wrinkling his tiny hands! I wanted to cry every time I looked at him.

Ponzetti, 19 months old, of Kellogg, Idaho, has a mighty sweet disposition between the doctors and nurses, foolishly be- lieving they were discussing my poor, serawny baby. When there was any excitement in the hall, I lay there with my heart pounding, on the verge of jumping out of bed to run to my baby, almost crazy with the thought that perhaps he had died. I want to warn all young mothers against unnecessarily worrying as I did, because I certainly regretted it later. I believe that a great deal of suffering and trouble could be saved the inexperienced mother if doctors would take a few minutes of their time and patiently assure them that there was absolutely nothing to worry about. At the end of one week, [ was allowed to go home in an am- bulance and the baby cried unceasingly for five hours. When the specialist arrived, he advised me that the baby was not getting enough to eat and gave me a formula which was to be given in addition to the breast.

I did everything I could — to nurse my baby, but at two months he was on the bottle altogether. I was so dis. appointed, for awhile it seemed to me that the anticipated joy of being a mother had gone. When Don was two weeks old, we discovered a lump down the right side of his neck. I hurried him to the specialist and found that he had “wry-neck.” This was another keen dis- appointment. My baby was not the perfect little specimen | had hoped for. I decided that the fight might be a little harder, but I was determined to make a sturdy, healthy baby of him. I made out a routine schedule for him and he was bathed, fed and put to bed at regular hours every day. He slept on the sleeping porch alone all winter with the windows flung wide open and spent several hours daily in his carriage out in the open. Of course, I was always careful to see that he was warmly clad. At two months I began giving him cod- liver oil, and exercised him gently, carefully turning his head in all directions in order to limber up the muscles of his neck.

_ November, 1930 s : When Baby Don was three months old, he weighed twelve and three-quarter pounds and his cheeks were like red apples! Friends who had not seen him since birth could hardly believe he was the same child. His milk formula included lemon juice and IT did not add anything to this diet until he was six months old. At this time, he began getting tomato juice and cream of wheat or baked __ white potato. I found that tomato juice was the proper laxative for him. He was so healthy and happy that I had almost forgotten about his neck and upon examination we found that the swelling had entirely disappeared and he was perfectly normal! | _ I began gradually exposing him to the sun and now he gets a sun-bath every day that the sun shines and is almost as brown as a little papoose. When the weather does not permit a sun-bath, I give him cod-liver oil. All sum- mer he has worn nothing but a diaper. After a warm bath I dash cold water on his chest and ay him off quickly. He has never had a cold. At nine months, beef juice and_ strained vegetables were added to his diet. . Every day we marvel at the energy of our sturdy little “young sprout” and everyone comments on his remarkable strength. The firm little muscles are plainly visible in his arms, legs and back. ~ Today at ten months, he is thirty inches tall and weighs twenty-two pounds. Don has never been ill and he still goes to the “Land of Nod” at 6 P. M. and sleeps until 6 A. M., taking a nap in the morning and one in the afternoon. | I have gained six pounds since the baby came and I believe my case satisfactorily proves that a small woman can have a large; healthy baby with the aid of diet, exercise and fresh air for both mother and babe. - Mrs. JoHn H.

What is more inviting than a glass of this tasty and delicious food. And nature has indeed been kind in putting in milk the elements necessary to give it immeasurable food value. Usually when one thinks of a medicine or a curative agent, there comes to mind something that is displeasing to the taste. © Something that is going to be “hard to take.’”’ But not so with milk. Its delight- ful flavor and savory appeal rather-class it as a delicacy. From the earliest dawn of human history milk has been recognized as one of the most valuable of food products. It has always been the great builder of sturdy races. It has come to the aid of the ailing and the weak. It has made of them men and women fit to face hardships in the world, and it has added years to their lives and given them more life while they lived. . Milk—the Master Healer Perhaps it seems strange that anything - so simple and so Jacking in mystery as milk should effect cures with such uniformity. And in grave disorders that have resisted the efforts of the most skillful medical men, armed with the most heterogeneous assort- ment of drugs and poisons, Yet such is the case. By a means so simple that even a school boy could carry it out, thousands of people all over the country rave ail- ments—particularly of the chronic type— many of which have been pronounced in- curable by eminent physicians. : To obtain these miraculous results, how- ever, it is necessary to adopt the proper ‘methods in the uses of milk.

Bernarr Mac- fadden in his book, The Miracle of - Milk describes in great detail exactly how to take the milk diet. In it he tells you how to build yourself up if you are under weight, how to reduce your body to normal if you are over weight, how to strengthen your body if you are weak and run-down, how to — restore your health if you are suffering from one or more diseases. In a word, the milk treatment is truly a miracle. = > But It Must Be Used Properly Milk is the great miracle worker, yet it will not cure by magic. It must be taken properly. Different ways for different ail- ments. Otherwise the milk diet will have but little effect. | All sensible people know that drugs and external influences do not always cure. Nature cures. The body cures itself, pro- vided helpful conditions prevail, giving the opportunity for self-readjustment. | And here lies the secret of the miracle of milk. Milk is a builder of tissue and an enemy of physical ills, because more than any other food, it furnishes elements which are needed to make new blood. Milk is undoubtedly more easily digested than any other food. It is more nearly akin to blood. It is quickly absorbed into the circulation and becomes - a part of the tissues of the body; and the ex- ably less energy is re- quired for this than to bring about the chemi- cal changes essential in preparing the ordinary foods for use in the human tissue. -The physical changes _ that can be brought about through the use of milk within a short period would be con- sidered unbelievable by the average individual. If | you are run-down, and should stumble upon a way to gain one or two pounds a week, you would feel that you had made a marvelous discovery. But — when we say that this is only a fair average for those who have experienced the miracle of milk, we are not in any way overstating the facts. In the case of those who are in extreme need of additional flesh, and who have been poorly nour- ished, the effect of milk is almost unbelievable. But to get results, itis vitally essential to adopt only ae rouse methods as outlined in The Miracle of Milk.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS Plawteat Catare | YOUTHFUL ENERGY Have You that Vital, Successful Look? — Continued from page 29 court from a man of his make-up? I had to say no; but still I didn’t want to miss a good man, or be unfair to him. He sat in the chair in my office like my grand- -mother of 75 sits in a chair, or like a man who is a bit exhausted and seeking rest. I don’t mean to give the impression that the man looked ill; the impression so far as vitality or energy is concerned was simply nil. I argued with myself that after all it was not physical but mental energy that I was hiring; but judged on that point the man also registered neutral. There was no drive in him. H DID not hire him, and a year later I inquired of my friend about him. learned that the man had resigned a job he had undertaken, due to poor health. Frankly, this would have been serious for my business, had I given him the job and he had resigned, as it took a long time to break a man into the work. He was the type who—for what reasons I don’t know—was quite deficient in vitality and should have taken off a year to build himself up before offering him- self to business. If you say that perhaps he couldn’t afford to do it, then I answer that it would have been cheaper in the end for him to do so; or that he should have undertaken careful measures to build himself up while working. In any event, vitality was the key to the situa- tion; and I was exceedingly wise to realize it. If I could have my way, I would put every man I engaged through a physical and psychological test and read the report before I interview him. Business must find men who have drive in them. This is a better word than “pep,” which suggests a kind of pop-gun enthusiasm. Drive is like the power that comes from a motor; a splendid, consistent, unfailing force that you can harness to work. Cut open to show a cross-section,. drive represents physical health, mental balance and emotional energy, all coordinated. Try to have one without the other two, and you have an engine missing in some of its cylinders, and working at a strain and off-rhythm. A good business mechanic, like a good garage mechanic, can tell what’s wrong by the very sound of the engine in motion. So I now feel I can detect some off-rhythm lack of vitality and drive in a man who applies to me for a job. But I don’t depend on my observation only. I have an application blank which is unusual—although many large firms with highly able personnel directors now have similar ones. It asks questions of an applicant which would have been re- sented in olden days. I ask such ques- tions as: 1. What are your recreations? 2. What books have you read in the past year? 3. What magazines do you subscribe to? 4. When were you last ill for more than two days? 5. What was the cause? 6. Have you any organic troubles or chronic ills? 7. What social organizations do you : belong to? 8. What form of exercise do you take | q regularly? 9. Do you use. alcohol? 10. Are your habits of life regular and moderate? 11. How would temperament? 12. Are you married? Engaged? Is | your home life happy and normal? I wish that I could add a dozen more questions, but I do not wish to appear — too inquisitive until it is more usual to do so. many other things. Often I do when I personally chat with the applicant. It requires a good deal of courage to ask about a man’s home and emotional — life, but I have so often noticed that his — mental hygiene, even his morals and habits depend upon them, that I have 4 grown bold. <A friend of mine who em- ployes 300 salesmen tells me he finds that most of his troublesome men are those — who are either not married and rounders, or married men whose home and emo- ~ He endeavors to — have the salesmen bring their wives into — the office and enroll them as active © success— q tional life is not right. partners in the husband’s particularly for the job of taking still better physical, mental and emotional — care of the husbands.

The a men’s efforts in the field would be greater, — more effective, more sure-footed, more ~ winning. Wuicu brings me to the sheer mag- - netic value of vitality.

November, 1930 Nobody likes to watch the inert or the creeping turtle or the drowsy alligator. We like the stirring orator better than the dull preacher who puts us to sleep. . Life itself is best exemplified by magnifi- cent energy and power in action. So when a man comes to see me whose every faculty is at top pitch, and to whom it is normal to be alert, energetic, keen- minded, vibrant with interest and ideas— that man makes an impression on. me even if I try to resist him. Most of us live as Prof. William James once said— far below our powers; and we do not make ourselves as vital and keenly alive as we could if we observed the best rules of health, had adequate sleep and recrea- tion, and didn’t force our hearts and stomachs to work overtime at digestion. Like the torpid animal half asleep after gorging itself with too much food, many of us‘live at too low a pitch of vitality because our blood supply is.kept busy at the mere sordid task of digesting a surplus of food. Such a person simply cannot be magnetic. THE magnetic man is simply a man with surplus vitality, such as nature will give any man who doesn’t overtax his body with wrong living. He can then use this surplus vitality for the work of persuasion and business, and in the sheer joy of living, after hours. In fact, if he has himself under full control and lives “the good life”. physically and mentally, he attains a permanent level of magnetic vitality. Then he isn’t magnetic . merely when he wants to be, or when under special stimulation, but always, as a definite part of his personality. There are large numbers of men who are only magnetic when they want to be, or when under special pressure. ‘Then they sum- mon their limited reserves of vitality, or whip up a false ‘vitality, which leaves a corresponding depression afterward. This is not by any means the sound plan. It should be our aim to live on a regular magnetic plane, supported by an ade- quate and constant supply of vitality. This can be done in one way only—by a well-balanced regard for both mental and physical health. We are all familiar with the cocktail-stimulated party which with- out alcohol is as\ dead as a huddle of corpses on No-man’s land. The explana- tion is that such people are in desperately bad straits with their own vitality and self-mastery, as they have no real mag- netic personality—they need alcohol to ~“be themselves”; and therefore rank on precisely the same plane as the drug addict, which is in fact what they are. In business no alcohol-stimulated mag- netism can stand the test; it calls for the genuine article based on vitality made by the body and the mind, alone and un- lashed by stimulants. Or, I should say, that a vitality in business thrives on the normal stimulants of business—oppor- tunity, honor, profit and’place. Business is an adventure quite as much as the travels of Marco .Polo and Vasco da Gama centuries ago; in fact these were business adventures, too, stimulated by hope of profit and honor, and calling for energy, vitality and magnetism, based on good health. — You can, see, then, how.

I~ pick my man carefully. Ilookattheway — he walks, at the way he sits, at the way he carries himself. I listen to the timbre of his voice, study the set of his shoulders and his jaw, note the clearness of his eyes, the grip of his hand, and the inflec- tions of his speech. I watch the processes of his mind, his approach to a subject, his approach to me, and to the job I offer: and from all these things I judge his vitality and power and drive. I am not hiring a little toy motor with the hope that it can turn over my five-ton job. It will have to be a motor that can whirl with power enough to drive my wheels. 4) I OUGHT, however, to makea clear dis- tinction before someone trips me_ up. I don’t want any reader to get the im- pression that the big man who is all beef and no brain, is the man who carries away the honors. I want now to talk of mental vitality more specifically. Caesar was fond of saying beware of “lean and hungry” men, by which he meant that the man who was not all physique and robustness, but who had a vital mind, was the one who made the most dan- gerous rival, There is nothing finer than a well-developed body, and the real health secret for mental vitality is regular mod- erate exercise and good, intelligent habits. To secure genuine virility, balance, coordination, the mind must be kept as healthy as the body. It must exercise itself on problems; it must freshen itself with new ideas, to keep its “arteries” from hardening; it must keep its emotional drives clean and vigorous. The most able man I ever hired was a wiry, bony Scotchman whose mind worked like a steel knife. He was not tall, and it was a joy to see the way he mastered the big six-footers on his staff. He could think around and above them and beyond them like a flash of lightning, and he could also-make them fast per- sonal friends. You knew the moment that he entered the room that here was a man with vitality. His black eyes could snap, and his tongue could strike into the middle of the subject with the force of a projectile. He could outstay us all at any job; sit up later at night and keep up his enthusiasm longer than any of us. But how he did it told the whole story. He spurned night clubs and liquor, and his hobbies were books and his garden. He rose with the dawn in season and worked in his garden, and then com- muted thirty miles to his job—arriving fresh before some others who had been “out” the night before. If we went out to lunch, he chose a bowl of milk and crackers. If we left him alone, he was just as likely to lunch on an apple and a sandwich. He is a vegetarian and a thorough-going one, too. His one in- ‘dulgence is a pipe—and an odorous one at that: but he makes a pipeful go a long way. He looks as if he isn’t very strong, but if you grasp his muscles, you will gasp with astonishment. for they are like iron. I am fond of holding up Sandy as an example to my men, and he is a prize exhibit in my dissertation on vitality. The man is positively uncanny in bis (Continued on page 104)

Don’t, if you can avoid it, shake hands with Sandy if he likes you. Without knowing it, his grip is like tool steel! When he gets an idea, his black eyes burn with intensity, and you will have a hard time dodging his logic. His vitality is a 100 per cent. coordinated vitality, and he has no temperament or “tantrums.” His emotional life is fixed and happy and he could walk into the offices of any of our competitors and get a job for the asking. Wuy is a man like Sandy such a prize for us employers? Because he’s a first- class human machine, in good condition, well-oiled, self-operating and highly effi- cient and result-producing. He doesn’t operate with jerks and fits and stops, or have parts that are weak and have to be watched. His body is a splendid servant to his mind, and no emotional strains put sand in the gears. His product is uni- form; not so uneven that somebody has to watch his output constantly. Why is it uniform? Because he has learned precisely how to treat his human ma- chine to keep its operation uniform and reliable. I have never known Sandy to be sick one single day, that’s the truth! There is still more to this matter of vitality. The psychologists talk about *‘a release of power’? which comes when - we get rid of some of our inhibitions. I believe this is true, especially the inhibi- tions dealing with the ego. Vitality is something which flows out freely; it is not something that is hoarded and secreted. The generous, open-spirited, poised per- sons are just naturally magnetic and vital. The more you give of yourself, the more you possess. I know by sight the type of man who is always hoarding his ideas, his enthu- siasms, his praise and his energies. He is constantly reining himself in, watching to see what he can gather without giving anything back. But he is usually a poor sort of person, often with a well-defined and often troublesome inferiority com- plex. Compare him with the really vital person, whose outstanding characteristic is always give and not take. “‘Spending”’ your vitality by giving to others, making friends, registering your own ample sup- ply of ideas and energy, and applying yourself unreservedly, is really not spend- ing yourself, but actually fulfilling and replenishing yourself. That is how the seeming paradox arises, and makes us wonder about men who are so vital and active, so generous and free with their vitality. They are gainers, as well as givers, and it is the miser of vitality who in the end has the least. Such vital men make wonderful employes; the kind that grow in their jobs and attract trade and make and hold customers. Also, they make business pleasant and agreeable to be in; they create friendships which jump the boundaries of business and become. personal as well as commercial; they’re the kind of men you want your son to meet and know, because they represent the triumph and the completeness of manhood, instead of the little, scratching, miserly breed of men who are the profi- teers of vitality and usually get miserably caught in the inevitable deflation and disillusion that follows all profiteering. Sun-Tan All Winter Now Continued from page 57 without medical supervision. With every big new idea that sweeps things be- fore it, as this new knowledge of the healthfulness of a tan skin has done, there are bound to be some carping critics cry- ing warnings. Some people are just made that way. When they see something new in the world they must knock it. Usually they get knocked over themselves as the car of progress sweeps on its way—but they die knocking all that is new. They are the people who said that airplanes wouldn’t fly, that exercise makes women unwomanly, and that the world was flat. It is flat for them—flat, stale and un- profitable. Of course there were faults with the first sun-lamps put out, and of course the manufacturers had to employ scientists and doctors to learn the best ways to use them. But the lamps themselves have been rapidly improved. One can still get sunburned with them as he can with the sun. If the lamps couldn’t burn an un- healthy skin with all its natural pigment bleached out, they would be of little benefit in restoring pigment and the other health-building effects that go with it. Sun-lamps are dangerous but so is the sun to skin that has been denied it. But neither of them are as dangerous as deep water is toa boy who cannot swim. The most of the arguments pro and con about sun-lamps, the right and the wrong kind, their proper and improper use, hang upon the fact that the whole idea is new and sounds complicated and confusing. But sunshine is complicated and confusing to the bats in the mammoth cave. For instance, many of the sun-lamps have time switches that cause the lamps to go out every ten minutes or so and have to be turned on again. The argument for the time switch is that it avoids the danger of over-exposure in case one stretches out beneath the sun-lamp and goes to sleep. But if a bleached blonde stretches out in the summer sunshine and goes to sleep she will look like a beet the next day and feel like she had fiery eczema. Some one should put a time switch on the sun! It really isn’t fool-proof. T HERE are, however, some’ distinc- tions between the lamps and the natural sunshine that deserve more careful con- sideration. No sun-lamp in the market gives exactly the same distribution of rays of various length that the sun does. This in the main would impress us as a fault of the artificial sunshine. However, if the lamp did have exactly the same wave distribution as the sun it would — have to be as powerful as the sun in order ~
Page 107
| N ovember, 1930 to give the same effects. That would make a very expensive lamp. Also it would be as hot as the sun and as dazzling to the eyes. The benefits of sun-bathing do not come from the heat, and the full noonday - sunshine of the tropics is too much for a white man. The world’s greatest sun cure is in the Alps where they get some of their greatest benefits in the winter. It is light, not heat, that is wanted... It is even the invisible ultra-violet waves that are wanted most of all. It is these that fail to penetrate the murky air of the lowlands, especially in the winter. We can therefore even select rays of the sun itself to our special advantage. I N THE lamps this can also be done and, as new and better lamps are being per- fected, it is being done. Some criticism against the use of lamps to radiate the skin has been directed against the type of mercury vapor lamp that has the mer- cury arc housed in a quartz tube. Mer- cury vapor gives a very much greater proportion of ultra-violet light than does sunlight. It also gives shorter rays than are present in sunlight at the surface of the earth. Ordinary glass, like the air, itself, is a screen that cuts off most of the ultra-violet rays. But quartz lets them through. -A very powerful quartz mercury lamp can therefore cause sunburn and sun-tan more rapidly than sunshine itself. Such lamps are used in hospitals and by skilled physicians, but they are too powerful for general home use. But more recently less powerful quartz mercury lamps have been developed for home use. . The other type of lamp, which repre- sents the majority of those now in use, is a carbon are lamp in which special carbons are used that are filled with vari- ous rare minerals that give different types of radiation. Some of these special car- bons, such as “‘Sunlight” and “‘Supertan”’ carbons, are for the layman. Other types are sold, like drug store poisons, only on a physician’s prescription and for strictly therapeutic uses. Most of these carbon arc sun-lamps also have selective glass screens to screen out the very shortest ultra-violet rays that are con- sidered the most objectionable. The latest development in sun-lamps seems to be that of a new mercury vapor lamp that is housed neither in a quartz tube nor in an ordinary glass bulb but in a bulb of special glass that screens out the very short ultra-violet rays. This same bulb also contains an ordinary tungsten filament so that it gives or- dinary light to see by at the same time it yields its selected ultra-violet rays from the mercury arc. One of its most practi- cal claims is that it does not require one to wear goggles if he uses ordinary in- telligence in refraining from looking at the light as he would from looking at the sun. | The writer does not feel competent to say which of the many types of lamps now manufactured is the best, and he doubts that anyone can say so with final authority at this time. But it seems sufficient to conclude that any of the lamps now put out by reputable com- panies for sale for home uses are both efficient and safe if ordinary intelligence is used in their application according to * and most of us stay there. the maker’s instructions. We have spent our lives in acquiring common sense knowledge regarding sunshine. With an artificial sun in the room at eye level we may need both goggles and instruction books because we were not born and raised with it to acquire common sense about it. A baby wants to put his hand in the. first fire he sees. He needs an instruction book to teach him common sense about fire! Baldheaded men who get high- powered sun-lamps and stick their heads in them and go to sleep will learn the same as the baby does—only not quite so quickly. Fire burns in five seconds while it takes an ultra-violet light burn about _ five hours to show what it can do to you. The most sensible instruction regard- ing all such lamps, and the sun also, is to try it the first day in a manner known to be less than sunburning intensity. If no sign of burn develops, then one increases the time a little each day. Of course that way you will get tanned without getting burned at all. People who think they can only get tanned by getting sunburned are like those who think that there is no benefit from exercise unless one begins it so strenuously that he is crippled up with muscular soreness the next day. Just a little muscular soreness and just a little reddening of the skin is the guide for the most rapid safe rate of progress. Given basic intelligence to keep from overdoing it at first, there are few things that are so flexible and fool-proof as the effect of sun-tan on the human skin. For instance, one can get the same effect from short-time exposure at more intensity— nearer the lamp—as he can from longer- time exposure at a greater distance. The effect of distance from the light is some- thing that applies to the sun, too. We are ninety-two million miles from the sun But if any man should go up and take a sun-bath at a distance of only forty-six million miles he would get sunburned four times as badly. So don’t do it, but use this precaution, which some of you may think unnecessary, to help you remember that the lamps are effective according to the square of the distance from them. If father is so busy and always so fully clothed that he can only spare the six minutes a day while he is shaving, let him back up close to the lamp and get his needed dosage in that brief spell. But the same lamp set up high can radiate the entire nursery and the children can play nude for hours without getting any sunburn. The intensity of the light varies with the square of the distance. Four feet away gives only one-fourth the in- tensity that two feet does, and eight feet gives only one-sixteenth as much effect as two feet. BrsIDES nearness to the light and time of exposure, a third way of varying the total effect is the matter of how much area of the body is exposed to the light. Just as we don’t need all the food we could stuff into our stomachs, so we don’t need all the sunshine we could absorb through our skins if we went nude all day long in the summer sun. In fact the develop- ment of the tan pigment in the skin is for the specific purpose of keeping us from getting an overdose.

He needed it to keep from getting too much of a sun-bath. _ Indeed the modicum of sunlight we get on our hands and faces in the summer time is sufficient to make the summer a very much healthier season than the winter. Sunning any part of the body helps the health of the whole body. ‘The effect is general, not local, as was demonstrated by watching rickets heal in one wrist of a child by exposing only the opposite arm t the sun-lamp. SoME of the sun-lamp people even ad- vocate to begin tanning by going into it feet first, and then gradually increasing the skin area that is to be tanned. It seems to me that is a ridiculous way of going at it. But it can be done and it doesn’t hurt any one. Some boys I knew last summer pasted designs in adhesive tape on their back and: thus tattooed themselves with tan. But surely it is more graceful and probably more healthful to take a lesser degree of exposure over the whole body at a greater distance from the light than to jam some spot extremely close to the light and get tanned in_ crazy-quilt fashion. The total chemical effect in the body may be the same if areas and dis- tance are made to be equivalent. Thus if one-fourth of the body is exposed at three feet from the lamp, the. chemical effects on the system are said to be the same as if the whole body is exposed at the distance of six feet. But in the latter method the danger of getting sunburned is only one-fourth as great. So why over- load any patch of skin with heavy duties while the rest of the skin shirks? I frankly doubt that there is any evi- dence of harm from excessive sunning or tanning except the local inflammation | that comes in the sunburned skin, and whatever constitutional symptoms. re- sult from this inflamed condition of the skin. If this be true, the only precaution needed is against sunburn and the easiest way of getting the maximum benefits otherwise is to irradiate as much skin as possible. However, the fact that the general favorable effects upon the blood chemis- try can result for the whole body from even applications to limited areas has some practical advantages. For one thing it enables the sun-lamp to be used in groups and on social occasions when the local custom and conceptions of morals and propriety determine that one region of human skin may be exposed but - that other areas are taboo. Sun-lamps would be quite as useful at a bridge party - where the players’ shoulders were bare as among Turkish ladies whose legs were bare while heads and shoulders were carefully covered up. This fact also makes the lamp adaptable . to the dear girls who want to go in for the | body sun-tan fad but who still prefer the pink and white facial complexions like grandmother used to wear. Just. keep your heads out of the lights or wear a dark veil when you take your sun-lamp bath. You can even don your grand- mother’s clothes when you go out and thus parade as a_ nineteenth century beauty with twentieth century health. The sun-lamp has all sorts of possibilities and fashion may tell us from season to season where to tan and what to bleach. - Phoned Culture Though we talk most about the tan because it is the visible thing that the invisible light produces for us, yet. the tan itself is only the external evidence of the real benefit that sunlight or sun-lamp gives. The development of tan is proof that the skin is getting these needed rays but the real benefits are more than skin deep. They are chemical in nature and both physical and mental in final effect. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most ardent sun-bathers since the ancient Greeks and Romans. Every sunny morn- ing he sat out in his back yard to take his sun-bath and shocked the neighbors. He believed it gave him better health and a clearer mind. At least it gave him a clear enough mind to have courage to do and say a lot of other things against the ig- norance and superstition of his day. Doctor Schuind describes the: effects of the sun-bath upon the mind as fol- lows: “Real resurrections are attained, due to the influence of the sun-bath; it is the birth or the rebirth of the joy of living, of the perfect intellectual equilib- rium which changes disillusioned, in- different beings into lovers of all that lives.” That sounds like poetic nonsense, but the writer is obliged from recent experi- ence to testify that it is true. I have been religiously sun-bathing my kiddies since they were born, meanwhile, until re- cently, keeping my own shirt on. Within the last year I took it and sundry other garments off and absorbed a gradual coat of tan. I almost blush to admit how much younger it made the old man feel. Youthful ideals and convictions that were wavering come back along with more. purely physical evidences of rejuvenation. I won’t admit that I was cured of any- thing because I am not admitting that I had anything to be cured of. But sun- shine delivers the indefinable goods known as “pep,” better than anything I have tried since my early experiences in be- coming a physical culturist twenty-seven years ago. | | How do these all-pervading miracles of rejuvenation come about? The most clearly understood biochemical effect is probably that of creating vitamin D out of a substance known as ergersterol. This in turn is why sunlight cures or prevents rickets by normalizing the calcium metabolism. | Bur just as positive, though not quite as well understood, is the action of sun- light in the prevention or cure of tuber- culosis.. That tuberculosis of the bone is the most susceptible to such cure makes us suspect that the vitamin D and calcium metabolism also are big factors in this disease. Not quite so clearly proven is the effect on iron metabolism and the consequent effect on anemia. Sunlight gives us a healthy color in two ways, one by develop- ing the pigment cells or tan and the other by actually building better blood. Others claim that sunlight is benéficial even in goiter. because Switzerland, the land of healing sunlight, is also the land of goiter. That — a seems to be a contradiction. It islack of iodine in the Alpine water and the local ~~ foods that causes the goiter, yet those on the north slopes of the mountains with | g less sunlight have more goiter than those S And this is interesting
Page 109
rN ovember, 1930 on the south slopes with more sunlight. Another broad and general claim for the benefits of sunlight is that it builds resistance to germ infections. This is particularly true of germs that invade the throat and lungs from common colds to pneumonia and tuberculosis. The high death rate from pneumonia, grip, flu, etc., is at the end of the winter season and the ‘result of sunlessness. And it is always higher farther north than in the south, and in dark cities than in bright country. The relation between sunlight and these winter prevalent diseases is absolute and convincing. There are many specific applications of light-therapy. Among these are the healing of running sorés by direct local applications. Many skin diseases are also treated. But all that is up to the physician specializing in light-therapy. Consutt your doctor. But mean- while you can take your own sun-baths or sun-lamp baths for general health and if some of these things you are supposed to consult your doctor about go away, that is your good fortune. It seems that quite a few of them are likely to do so. One, for instance, is acne or pimples. One could increase the list of such probable cures, but the art of acquiring and keep- ing a proper amount of sun-tan is too new among us for one to be sure about just what ills it will or will not cure. More- over, curing definite diseases isn’t its main use anyhow, for it should be looked at primarily as a health-building agency, not as a cure-anything or cure-all. Class sunlight and sun-tan, whether made by God or man, along with air and exercise and water and good food, and not with medicine and surgery. The more we use such things for health building and dis- ease prevention the less we will need them, or anything else, for disease curing. In spite of all these miracles, the skeptic may doubt that the lamp-made imitation sunlight is equally effective to the real sunshine. But it is proven to be effective in causing sunburn and tan, in the prevention and cure of rickets and many other effects which are capable of such definite proof. Therefore the pre- sumption that the effects, if not equal, are at least similar throughout is very strong. Many men have tried to describe the effects of sun-bathing. Here is one in- teresting attempt: ‘““The sun’s rays... increase transpiration, evoke perspiration, check increase in girth, strengthen the muscles and reduce fatness. The soft swellings of dropsical persons are reduced. Breathing is increased and quickened by the rays, which therefore invigorates the narrow chested and such as breathe with stiff necks. It is beneficial to those who suffer from debility, and hardens them against disease. .. .”’ The above and much more wisdom like it concerning sun-bathing was written by a man who had never heard of sun- lamps. His name was Antyllos and he was a surgeon in Rome three hundred years before Christ was born! It took us nineteen hundred years to _ learn as much about sun-bathing as the Romans had learned from the Greeks. But we have finally caught up and put one over on them by devising factory- made suns for darker days and darker u 107 Moulding A Mighty Arm rh 3 “ The Thrill of Being Strong and how to Get Nerves of Steel and Muscles Like Iron My new book “Nerves of Steel and Muscles of Iron’’ tells you all about myself.

How marvelously stupid we have been, and yet how clever we seem when we get rid of our stupidity or, .un- able to do that, devise ways of side- stepping it. . The devout nature and sun worshipper may continue to. be contemptuous of the sun-lamp and insist that only the real © sunshine produces the real sun-tan. But why should the lamp makers worry? Every bold winter sun-bather who carries his natural sun-tan the year round will serve as a good example to,a hundred — others who, lacking the nerve or the op- portunity to bathe in real sunshine, will eagerly imitate the health and beauty- building effects by basking in man-made sunlight in the “privacy of your own home.” If you haven’t the courage of Benjamin Franklin to sun-bathe in your back | yard—or if you haven’t any back yard— — you can pull down the window curtains, lock up tight the door, turn the switch — 3 and let a little sunshine in. Making Life ~ Worth While Continued from page 51 - The intricacies of civilization have largely destroyed the instincts that were such a powerful protection to us in by- gone generations; and to live to the fullest extent, to enjoy the thrilling pleasures that life offers us, one must secure the knowledge which is so important in replacing these elemental instincts. Man-made restrictions, often brought into being by ignorance and_ bigotry, 4 continued through the power of pre- cedence and prejudice, have brought us many devitalizing influences. We must have the intelligence so needful to rec- ognize these evils that we may avoid them. They steal health and life. They take from us the God-like gifts that help to make our superb women, our splen- didly strong men. There is no ambition in life that is so full of meaning as that which has to do ~ with the development of a wonderfully fine body. That is the foundation with which you should begin -to build your career. False education—prurient prudery— —~ has produced our weaklings and de- ~ fectives. These evils have destroyed the lives of millions of people. _ See that you are equipped with the essential knowledge to protect you In the acquirement of the powers of mind — and body which justly belong to you. ~ With these forces at your command you ~ should easily be able to make your life richly worth while. ae

Gamby’s Health Dances for Your Children Continued from page 45 plump and thin, pretty and plain, came to me and begged me to let them learn how to dance. I recall one little girl who applied for admittance in the troupe. She was a thin little creature, all legs and arms. Her face was broken out with pimples. - She appeared to be a most unlikely candidate. But there was something in her eves as she begged for a try-out that made me promise to help her. I will never forget the look on her face when I told her that girls must be beautiful as well as able to follow the dancing routine. | ASKED her to come to me just before rehearsal call the next day. I couldn’t bear to let her work out before the other girls. They might laugh. I didn’t want to have her feelings hurt. The next day I sat at the piano on the darkened stage playing a light gavotte. The girl.danced. In a minute I knew she had a dancing soul. What a real glow of happiness came into her eyes when I told her I would accept her and admit her into the troupe under one condition. “And what is that?” she asked eagerly. ‘Learn to live as beautifully as you have learned to dance,” was mystified until I went on, ““You must learn to eat the right things so that your complexion will be healthy and clear. You must get outdoors and exercise. Ii you will do as I tell you fora whole month and then return, I will admit you.” She agreed. And this is what I told her: “First of all, get nine hours of sleep each night. Get at least an hour. of beauty sleep before midnight. “When you wake up in the morning, stand before the open window and take fifty deep breaths of fresh air. Then do these exercises. (I gave her a series of exercises similar to those illustrating this article.) “At first you must not do the exercises too many times or your muscles will be overstrained. Each day, increase the number as the muscles become used to the work. ‘Avoid drinking tea and coffee and for breakfast substitute malted milk.. Eat whole-wheat bread to help body elimina- tion. In the morning eat a dish of stewed fruit. At lunch eat some fresh vegetables and for dessert at dinner time choose some fresh fruit instead of a rich pudding or ple. “Eat no candy—especially chocolate. To help fill out the hollows in your cheeks, sip a glass of half milk and half cream at eleven in the morning and at three in the afternoon.. At night, before going to bed, if you are hungry, sip a glass of. warm— not hot—milk. After each meal rest for fifteen minutes. “And daily bathing is necessary to keep the pores of the skin cleansed and. . open. It is best to have a. warm bath— not too hot and not too cold.” At the end of a month, this girl re- turned. I was almost as surprised at the~ She had in- improvement as she was! I replied. She ‘strain on certain sets of muscles. blood and helps circulation: the knees and clasp your hands under- — 7 Physical Culture 4 creased five pounds in weight and had gained a poise and confidence that amazed — me. She became one of my cleverest dancers and today is well. known on Broadway. It isn’t every girl who wants to go on the stage. Dozens of girls want to dance just for the sheer joy. I believe that if during the summer the public parks in every city were given over to daily dancing classes, the enrollment would be amazing. Remember that all exercising must be done regularly every day and that when you start, you must not overdo. For overdoing is as bad as not exercising at all. It strains the muscles and does more harm than good. As your muscles be- come firm, increase the number of times you do each exercise. And don’t forget that it is much more beneficial to do each exercise five times every day than to do it twenty times one day—and then not exercise for a week. Here are four good exercises which I have discovered work wonders for the girl who is tied to an office desk all day: Lie on your back on the floor and sup- porting your back with your hands, raise your legs in the air and use the pedal motion as if riding a bicycle. _ Then, to take off those heavy pounds around the hips, do some good strenuous rolling. One of the best rolling exercises is to sit on the floor, place the hands in back of you and lifting the legs, turn the body, revolving i in a circle on the floor.- To reduce the waistline (and every girl wants to be able to wear the new frocks!); stretch arms sideways and bending over from the waist, revolve your body slowly without moving your feet. Increase the speed of revolving the body. Another good exercise is to swing the arms like a wind-mill, turning the torso from side to side, all the time keeping the feet solidly on the ground and spread wide apart. Now there’s the girl whose work keeps her standing on her feet all day with little chance to sit down. At night, after a day behind the counter of a store, perhaps, her feet are tired and aching. Her back seems ready to break. Exercising, she believes, is out of the question. She is wrong. : THE very thing she needs is some simple limbering which will counterbalance the Muscu- lar coordination and balance keeps you fit and ready to handle a hard day’s work—no matter what that work may be. Dancing professionally is hard work, you know, and dancing five shows a day is about as hard work as standing behind the counter. This is an exercise I have used time and time again, when my feet — are tired and my legs weary. It rests — the strained muscles and stirs up the Sit on a chair with your spine slanting ~ and resting against a solid back. Bend —

November, 1930 Speaking of Next Month To most of those who know this magazine it is probably unnecessary to take up space to tell about the good things that come next month. But. our Circulation Manager still believes that we should ballyhoo the coming number. Perhaps he is right. If you definitely know that certain good things are in store for you next. month you will more eagerly wait for them and you will not miss a chance of getting your copy the first day it is on sale. Here are a few things to look for- ward to: Subtracting 70 Pounds In 6 Months Here is an experience in safe and sane reducing told by Mrs. Monica Douglas. We know that to many thin folks this story will not mean a thing, But to others who need this help, oh, what a story! Stronger at 57 Than at 30 Here is a business man’s experi- ence, with pictures of the exercises by which he got this way. They will do as much for you! The Best Kind of Deep Breathing L. E. Eubanks explodes many falla- cies about breathing but puts you on the right road. Superstitions That Come True According to Frank Parker Stock- bridge, science finds that many things that “aren’t so” may be true, after all. Are you superstitious? Or aren’t you? In either case, don’t miss this. “| Want to Get Married Again” Here is an actual experience—the story of a “fifty-fifty” marriage and how it worked out. You can learn a lesson from this story. December PuHysIcAL CULTURE will also include articles on “Muldoon at 85,” “Relaxation Exercises,” “How to Control the Climate in Your Home,” “How to Protect Your Chil- dren from Measles, Mumps _ and Whooping Cough,’ “How to Tell Your Children the Truth About Sex” ” and many other helpful, entertaining features. In short, the December number will be a representative issue of .PHYSICAL CuLTuRE, and that is saying some- thing. Don’t miss your copy. On sale at all news stands on November 15th. neath the knees. Then kick the feet energetically. Then hold one leg up- ward and massage your leg muscles with both hands. Begin at the ankle and stroke toward the thigh. Use _ brisk massage with a toward the body motion, lifting the hands and replacing with each stroke. Then lie flat on the floor on your back and swing your legs over your head and replace. Do this to count with an even, regular movement. Now lie flat on the floor on your stomach. Reach your hands back over your shoulders and grasping your ankles, pull your feet toward your head. Then rock your body forward and backward several times. The young girl who studies hard and is bent over her books most of the day needs an entirely different set of exer- cises. Although the school systems now- adays include a regular physical culture period two or three times a week, these exercises I suggest are particularly suited to the bookworm who keeps her nose be- tween the covers of a textbook several hours a day. _ To rest the neck, stand with feet apart and raise arms outward. Then roll the head around in a circular motion. This is guaranteed to take those kinks out of your neck. Then, flinging the left arm upward, bend forward, touching the head to the knee. Repeat, alternating the leg and arm movements. Now, lie on the floor on your back with hands clasped in back of the head. Raise legs upward, crossing them. Then to a rapid count, uncross and cross them in a scissors motion. Rest and repeat several times. Here is a jumping exercise which is excellent for those who cannot get sufficient outdoor exercise. Placing the hands on the hips, bend one knee upward. Then with a galloping motion, jump up and down, bending and stretching al- ternate knees. Rest by taking twenty-five deep breaths and then, starting with hands at the sides, jump upward, flinging arms and legs sideways. Then bring the hands close to the sides and click the feet to- gether. Put plenty of pep into it. The next exercise is one which I use, adapting dance steps. Swinging arms across the body to the left at shoulder height, swing left leg across the body to to the right. Then with a leaping motion, swing leg backward and arms forward and upward. Alternate leg and arm movements as you repeat it. Then, lying on left side on the floor, raise body on the left hand, lifting right leg. Then le on the floor on the right side and repeat. There is an old saying you know, that ‘‘as the twig is bent, so the tree in- clines.” This is very true, but I do be- lieve that even a grown tree needs some training to continue its strong and sturdy development. Human beings are like that. - In studying the lives of the hundreds of girls I have known, it seems to me that the years between 13 and 19 are the most important formative years in a girl’s life. During her teens she is leaving girlhood 11] Have You These Symptoms of NERVE Exhaustion? Do you get excited easily? Do you become fatigued after slight exertion? Are your hands and feet cold? Do you suffer from consti- pation or stomach trouble? Is your sleep disturbed by troubled dreams? Have you spells of ir- ritability? Are you often gloomy and pessimistic? Do you suffer from heart palpitation, cold sweats, ringing in the ears, dizzy spells? 3 These are only a few of the signs of weak, un- healthy nerves that are steadily robbing thou- sands of people of their youth and health. What Causes Sick Nerves? W In women this is largely due to OMEN Over-active emotions, and to the constant turmoil in their domestic and marital relations. MEN In men, th-se signs of nerve exhaus- tion are produced as a result of wotries, intense concentration, “excesses and vices. The mad pace at which we are traveling is wrecking the entire Nervous Organization. How to Strengthen Your Nerves , No tonic or magic system of exercise can ever restore the health and vigor to weak, sick, un- balanced nerves. To regenerate lost nerve force, to build up strong, sound nerves, re- quires an understanding of the action and abuses of nerves. It needs a knowledge of the natural laws of nerve fatigue, of mental and ~ physical relaxation and nerve metabolism. And it is only through the application of these laws that stubborn cases of Nerve Exhaustion can be overcome. Read This Wonder Book Based upon many years of intensive experi- ence and study, the famous author, Richard Blackstone, has written a remarkable book, entitled ‘“‘New Nerves for Old.’’. In plain language he gives certain easy-to-follow rules that have enabled thousands of men and women to regain their lost nervous energy and to acquire glowing health and youthful vitality. It enables you to correctly diagnose your own case and shows you how to bring back your lost nervous vitality. “‘New Nerves for Old”’ is worth its weight in gold—and yet its cost is only 25c, stamps or coin. The book will prove a revelation to you. It will help you throughout your entire life; it will help you to build for yourself a solid foun- dation for your future success and happiness.

She said she had done everything for ten years and was still a physical wreck, liver trouble, ulcer of the stomach, bad ‘tonsils, appendicitis. ‘***Well,’ I said, ‘from ‘this day on vou are going to wake up. If I tell you how you can cure these troubles your- self will you stay awake?’ ‘*The answer was ‘yes.’ “T went to my read- ing room.and wrapped up my set of Encyclo- pedia and told her to go home. ‘For the sake of yourself and your friends do as these books tell you to do.’ “That was eight weeks. ago and today this wo- man is in good health after ten years of think- ing there was nothing left for her to do.” » Mrs. Martha Swenson lives at 275 Cedar.

If every girl could dance out in the open air for a half hour every day, she could not help but be healthy and happy and beautiful. She would have the glow of bounding health on her cheeks. There would be the vivid sparkle of energy in her eyes. The most graceful movements of all are found in the movements of nature. What is more glorious than the swooping of a swallow through the heavens? Or the tossing of pine trees to the skies above? Or the wistful bending of ripe grain in a gentle summer breeze? Or the drooping of a flower, as the bee seeks honey in its heart? Every dancer can learn true lessons of grace and beauty from nature. Dancing is the fountain of youth for eyery woman. It develops a .natural grace. It is a recreation and fulfills the desire for self-expression. You can’t carry a grouch and dance. You've got to smile. You forget your troubles. Hung on my wall, I have this little chart. It’s the one I suggest for the girls in my dancing school. But, because I feel that anyone who gives advice should set a good example by following it, I follow my “Dozen Hints for Living.” Here they are—my golden rules of health: 1. Get out-of-doors at least one hour Physical Culture every day. Make some active outdoor sport your lifetime hobby. - Dien 2. Retire early. A half an hour of sleep before midnight is worth more than two hours of sleep late in the morning. | 3. Don’t eat before going to bed. If hungry, sip a glass of milk. It is nourish- ing and it relaxes the nerves. It is good for the complexion, too! . . 4. Don’t learn to smoke cigarettes. It — is an untidy, unhealthful habit and de- tracts from a girl’s feminine allure. 5. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Be strong enough to turn down a cocktail, when a glass of orange juice can be as graceful a social gesture—and it will keep you in better health. . 6. Don’t go on wild parties. They are just empty bubbles that will bring you a headache the next morning. 7. Always spend a few minutes upon rising each morning before your open window, breathing in the fresh air. Then | do your daily dozen. | 8. Exercise your brain as well as your muscles and keep mentally alert. 9. Cultivate regular eating habits and regular mental habits. | 10. Cultivate mental, spiritual and physical cleanliness. 11. Always be cheerful. Meet life with a continual smile. 12.

Here is a principle which lays hold di- rectly on the emotional and the spiritual life; and here is the principle by which feasting has always associated itself in human life with the normalizing of emo- tional tensions—those emotional ten- sions of. which modern life in particular is so full, and from which we so badly need occasional release. One of the best examples of the emo- tional and spiritual values which develop when really hungry and eager and zest- ful people sit down to eat food which is more than ordinarily tempting is to be found in Dickens’ immortal ‘“‘Christmas Carol,’’ a classic with which most of us are familiar from many readings. Every Thanksgiving dinner ought to be like that. How can it be made so? I ONCE knew a small boy who was so keen to get all the fun possible out of his Thanksgiving dinner that he ate no breakfast on Thanksgiving Day, and no supper the night before. This system, which he invented himself, enabled him to put away incredible quantities of turkey and all that went with it. He would eat his fill, and then, since he was no longer hungry, he wanted little or no supper. Even his breakfast the next morning was likely to be sketchy; and he didn’t recover his normal small boy ap- petite till noon the next day—just in time for cold turkey. By the time he got around to that he was inclined to the opinion that the second feast was as good as the first, and that cold turkey was as much better than hot turkey as the last sunset is better than the one of the day before. I don’t know where that youngster — got his wisdom. Perhaps. it was merely ~ a gift of plain horse-sense. However that — may be, this boy had stumbled on one of ~ the fundamental principles of zestful and happy living—a bit of wisdom as old as - the world. He was actuated, of course, by a naive and boyish desire to make the most of a grand and glorious feast, and to eat all he wanted. But why not? He had earned the right to such indulgence by a previous exercise of self-denial and_ self-control E which could have been no easy matter for a youngster whose ordinary appetite for food was very much on the job. His elders considered it a huge joke. But when they sat down to the Thanks- giving board with jaded appetites and watched that youngster’s eyes glisten ~ while the turkey was being carved, and — while he wriggled in his chair, and de- — manded the drumstick, they did not in ~ the least perceive that they were missing out on something precious, and that the joke was really on them. Still less did they perceive it later when those of them ~ who had eaten largely in spite of their lack of real hunger began to pay the ~ penalty for their surfeit, and to wish they _ had not ‘“‘overeaten.” * ae The fact was that the boy was uncon- sciously doing his feasting after a plan by which many wild creatures eat. Wild animals must catch their food before they _ eat it. This often involves them in ex- tended fasts; with the result that by the — time they do obtain food they are crazy

/ N beeniber. 1930 for it—and thankful for it. They eat the way that small boy ate his Thanks- giving dinner, to capacity; and then lie down and sleep it off. Savages, subject to the uncertainties of wilderness food sup- ply, eat in somewhat the same fashion. And they take no harm from consuming amounts of food that would prostrate an ordinary. civilized man, who had fed. regularly on three meals a day, and who is already toxic, probably, with the excess of food substances which he can neither burn up nor effectively dispose of. The most ancient systems of wisdom known to man have always prescribed fasting before feasting., All vital reli- gions have recognized this principle; and for the last two thousand years it has been preached in one way or another by the Christian Church, whose calendar is full of Fasts and Feasts which follow each other in such shrewd alternations that any consistent practise of the principle involved would unquestionably contrib- ute both to physicall and. to spiritual health. Bernarr Macfadden has long taught: the same basic principle, and has advo- cated one day of fasting a week, and has practised it himself for years. There is more involved in this notion of fasting before feasting than the mere creation of an appetite and a need for food, so that such food may then legiti- mately be eaten and the appetite legiti- mately and harmlessly indulged: there is also the fact that life is a mass of rela- tivities and contrasts, and that such rela- tivities help us to keep a sane view of reality. ‘THANKSGIVING DAY is coming. Why should not the family take counsel, and go, let us say, on a fruit fast—nothing but orange juice, for instance, for from thirty-six to forty-eight hours, before the Big Feast—according to their staying power. The orange juice is a concession, and probably would be better for them on the whole than an absolute fast—and not so hard on their dispositions; for it is hard for the average man who has been without anything in his tummy for twenty-four hours to persuade himself that he is not dying of inanition. Just imagine what such a fast as that would do to the psychology of a family who sat down to a really good traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Think how raven- ous they would be—every last person making an effort to be polite and not literally to lick his chops. Think of the eyes that would follow Dad’s every least move as he carved; how everybody would want enough dressing; what an eager passing of plates for second and even third helpings; the compliments on the dinner; the glow on Mother’s face over such appreciation of her cooking; her regret that she didn’t make one more pumpkin pie while she was about it; the atmosphere of peace, harmony and good will that would necessarily reign in a group immersed for the time being in but the single thought of how good it is to be alive and how good the dinner tastes; think of the fresh start the experience would give to the whole machinery of the home, just from the consciousness of having, in fellowship, completely en- joyed something elemental, simple, in- nocent, and satisfying, in common. Do I overdraw the picture? I don’t think so. The part which eating, and particularly feasting, has always played in the smoothing and straightening out of human relations is one of the most obvi- ous things in history. One of the first traditional essentials, when two persons have to make some difficult adjustment to each other’s point of view, is that they break bread together. As they eat and drink, particularly if they be hungry, they become more and more amiable, more and more charitable, more and more trustful, and more and more disposed to reason together. At least that is the tendency. And that is why a proper evaluation by the average family of the value of such traditional feasts as that of Thanksgiving Day is important for the happiness of all concerned. To throw away the opportunity, by making a perfunctory occasion of the Thanks- giving dinner through failure to prepare for it and create a mood for it by creating an appetite for it, is an act of folly. Many a housewife, struggling with the problem of a jangling and inharmonious household, looks forward to such special feasts instinctively as offering a means by which she may be able to create a united spirit among those she loves. But when the time comes, and the big dinner is on the table, somehow it falls flat. For some reason, which baffles her, it does not work out. The meal is good; but long before the end of it her spirit wilts within her, and she wishes she were dead. Cold looks, preoccupation, shut mouths, perfunctory conversation, no laughter, no exchange of ideas in good conversa- tion, no ecstatic exclamations over this or that dish—surely “‘better a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.’ Had the sage said “hunger” rather than love, he would still have struck the truth. Hunger is bettér for this purpose than many cock- tails. There is not necessarily hatred around such a table when appetite is Jane’s Adventures in Loveliness Tue last article of the series of “Adventures in Personal Loveliness” will appear in PuysicaL Cuutrure for December with Jane’s adventures in the psychology of charm, including a remarkable group of exercises in relaxation.

There are thousands of households where this happens, and where the glory and glamour and joy of the traditional feast has departed under the tensions of modern life, and under conditions of in- door work and of abundant food and prev- alent overeating. Eating at home under such conditions is not much better than eating Thanksgiving dinner in a res- taurant—an experience from which may heaven preserve us all. An unkindly fate sent me there once, for the good of my soul, doubtless; and I never needed an- other lesson. In the days when the Thanksgiving Feast originated in this country there was no need for taking special measures to make it a great occasion. We were an agricultural nation then, and practically everybody was doing a great deal of hard physical work. White collar jobs were scarce. ‘The average man needed from three to six thousands calories a day to keep going instead of the 2500 calories which suffice for him today, with his sedentary life and his indoor job and his abundant machinery to relieve him of the toil which used to be his lot. MobeERN industry has caused a great many maladjustments in human life; and we have not yet gotten to the point of adjusting ourselves to it. In particular it has introduced all sorts of complicated emotional tensions which result, not so much from the pace at which we live and work, as from changes in our daily rela- tions to the two great facts of human life, love and work. The human machine was made to do a great deal of hard physical work. Appetite depends on that, normal release from emotional ten- sions depends on that, human relations depend on it, normal sex relationships depend on it, general satisfaction with life depends on it. Machinery has deprived us of this fundamental thing. This is not to say that machinery is a bad thing, but merely that we are under the necessity of introducing a degree of art into our living to compensate for the changes which the coming of the machine has made inevitable. And this business of restoring the Thanksgiving dinner to its normal and wholesome place in the family life, and of debunking it by abandoning our present perfunctory and hypocritical attitude toward it, is one matter in which anybody with a little horse-sense and a little self-control can enrich his life and the use of a little art.

oa we Sg a November, 1930 Just Enough Exercise Continued from page 39 back into condition again, he must be exceedingly careful as the muscles, having become inelastic, are liable to injury. By paying strict attention, however, to his muscular habits, the aging athlete can create a good physical character that will stay with him a long time. But this depends on the wav he carries himself, how he sits and walks and what kind of exercise he does. It is a human trait not to appreciate our possessions while we have them. An active youth in the game- playing age does not value his own flexi- bility because he has never been without it. Let him take up a confining business, and after ten years of it try to play his old games. Then he will find that be- cause he has not used all his joints and muscles, some of them refuse to act easily as they did when he was young. If a three-year-old lad rolls down the steps of his front porch during play, the doting parents dust him off and in a few hours he is generally all right again and clamor- ing for food. But if grandfather starts to cut capers and rolls down the same steps, it is another matter. When an athlete approaches the vet- eran stage and he is trying a comeback, there is talk of the loss of the elastic spring of youth. That, however, is only part of it. The most-serious handicap is the loss in recuperative powers. Ma§li- tary leaders know all about that. It has been tested in many wars. It would be wise for the athlete staging a comeback to be his age, which means that it would be foolish for him to waste his energy in heavy exercise or take chances by over- doing things as he did in former years. It is of paramount importance for the veteran athlete to seriously regard his physical capacity before resuming train- ing after a long period of inactivity. He is not as good as he was formerly. He must keep this in mind and also the physiological fact that cells and muscular tissues which undergo a strain from ex- cessive exercise at the beginning of train- ing may never fully recover their original capacity. That is why light exercise is advised as a precaution. A steady in- crease each day in the amount of ac- tivity will cause several beneficent, fairly enduring, adaptive changes of the blood. By THESE the capacity for training and the power of endurance of the body are enhanced because the vital organs ac-. quire vitality and build up a vital reserve power of resistance to fatigue. The “comeback athlete” must then determine what is the relationship of his training program to the development of organic power and the right amount of activity necessary to gradually bring himself into physical condition. In gauging this, he must stress the building of or- ganic capacity in regard to the heart, breathing, digestive, heat, regulatory and elimination mechanisms of the body. Training is decidedly a development of heart power—namely,-the ability of the heart to rise to an emergency in the cir- culation of blood with its oxygen and nutritive-carrying properties, together with elimination of fatigue products. A track athlete depends upon heart power. Heart power is closely related not only to circulation, but to respira- tion. Under intense activity it is the ability of the heart to deliver oxygen and remove waste which is the basis of stamina. Activity of a certain variety makes a particular call upon the heart. The heart responds, and in the very act of responding, gains capacity. This capacity makes possible.more and more strenuous activity and thus power is - generated and built up to unbelievable heights. AT A lecture on physical education some years ago, when I was actively en- gaged in the work, I learned that out of all the oxygen which we draw into our lungs, we take but a small part, about 23 per cent.; we reject all the rest. This was confirmed; when I learned how re- spiratory power is enhanced by a runner. who does not suffer the pangs of the fatigue of “‘second wind.” His training program is purposely designed gradually to build up the power to balance the ex- change of oxygen and carbon dioxide so that he can go with comparative ease all the length of his race. Now, this is not a surgical treatise or a lecture on physical education and it is my desire to spare the reader as much as possible the dry, scientific detail. But a little of it goes a long way toward helping the veteran to know the limitations and appreciate the possibilities of his body. These scientific facts cannot be ignored. The muscles will have the greatest health, strength and “‘staying’”’ power that are kept flexible and full of blood by | continuous use in everyday life. To ex- pect them to keep healthy by an infre- quent half hour at some gymnasium burning up the tissue by heavy exercise is aS unreasonable as to think of pre- serving the comfort of the stomach with one big meal a week. — It is undoubtedly true that a pre- scription of exercise for one athlete may be less or more than another man may require. It is impossible for me to set down training rules that might be ap- plied to all athletes alike. The average man of average physical condition, par- ticularly if he leads a busy life as many athletes do in business, will probably find it advantageous to spend at least ten to twenty minutes over particular exercises in the morning before fully dressing and ten or twenty minutes again in the evening before retiring, with an- other period of special exercise in the afternoon, if possible, not too close to the evening meal hour. The type of movements illustrated, if each is repeated ten, fifteen or twenty times, will not occupy. very much time and will leave the whole body in a pleas- ant glow, with no located fatigue. They will prepare the muscles for the rigors of that particular branch of sport the athlete is interested in. The consti- tutional difference between one athlete and another will render exercises much easier to one than to another. Conse- quently, it would be unwise to direct ' more palatable and digestible.

r eee ~ What is a BAR BELL? BAR. BELL is simply a long-handled dumb-bell. It has many advantages over a pair of dumb-bells. For instance, it is far easier to handle a 50-pound bar bell than two 25-pound dumb-bells. Again, with a bar bell you can do certain back and leg exercises where it would be awkward to handle a pair of dumb- bells. The bar bell became The Greatest of All Body Builders when the adjustable feature was added—for then it became possible to employ the progressive method of exercise which has proven to be the only way in which a man of below average physique can gradually but steadily improve his build, his muscular development and his stock of organic vitality until he becomes a physical superman—the very pattern of health, strength and manly beauty. By Using a Bar Bell You Can Become a Physical Superman With every bar bell we sell we give courses in training to suit the individual purchaser. Our pupils vary in age from fourteen years to as old as sixty- four. We have seen slender young pupils gain as much as twenty pounds in weight, and six inches in ‘chest measurement in the first six weeks they were under our training. We have taken stout middle- aged parties and show them how to regain the fine proportions, the elasticity and the vigor of athletic youth. We get orders from hundreds of business men and office workers, and we show them how it is ‘possible to get the greatest possible results in the shortest possible time. (Possibly forty per cent of our patrons are indoor men.) One of our greatest delights is taking husky farmets, out-door workers and gymnasium devotees and showing them what real strength and development are like. Every case is individual with us and we have handled so many different kinds of health-seekers, shape-seekers, and strength-seekers that it is hardly possible your case would present any new problems for us. ; We Give Unlimited Service With us it is not a case of giving you so many ‘“lessons’’ and then forgetting you. You are our pupil as long as you own the bar bell you buy from us. You may be in such condition that we can give you the kind of developing work that makes you gain at a rate so rapid that you will be amazed. Or itis -_ possible that you are in such a run-down or absolutely undeveloped state that we will have to start you with the bell adjusted to very moderate weights, put you on a mild progressive schedule and coax your body to its proper proportions and teach you how to ac- -cumulate a stock of reserve vigor and health. All of which is part of our job, and what you pay us for. We Give An Absolute Guarantee All our goods are sold on the same understanding. -If within ninety days after enrolling you are not satisfied with the results, you can return your outfit and have your money refunded. For years we have kept a careful record and find the proportion of returns is 1-3 of 1 per cent. In other words, we satisfy 299 out of every 300 customers. (We never expect to be perfect.) We Make Adjustable Bar Bells of All Varieties Every outfit we make is a combination affair, which can be used as a bar bell or as a pair of kettle- bells. Every part of each outfit is adjustable in ‘weight. Some types have hollow spheres which } can be loaded with iron plates of assorted sizes. } Others have no covering spheres, but consist just } of an assemblage of iron plates and the different handle bars. We make bar bells of Different Styles-Different Sizes-Different Prices } but every outfit we make can be adjusted to such a moderate weight that it can be easily handled by the 1 weakest and smallest man, and yet can be almost instantly adjusted to a weight that would tax the } strength of Samson. es ee ee Doe eee Geer Geran Comet feel ee Se ee ears feet PL CT THE MILO BAR BELL CO., Dept. 102, 2741 N.

Aside from ordinary military setting- up exercises at the beginning of training, the best exercise to “loosen up”’ and make ‘the body thoroughly flexible is tumbling. A few roll overs, back rolls and “‘flip- flops’ shake the internal organs, massage the kidneys, improve the circulation and does about everything the body needs to put it into condition. Handball taken moderately at first and gradually in- creased in activity is also wonderful as a conditioner. However, I am also illus- trating a few “bedroom” exercises which will keep the muscles limber, give them firmness, not too much hardness, but enough resilience to offset the exertions of any sport in which the athlete is making his preparations for a comeback. I might suggest variations of the last exercise. This is really a hopping floor dip, differing only in that the arms per- form several feats of swiftness and co- ordination. First learn to hop easily on all fours. Then begin each separate variation. Study the photographs. Now practise the first variation. Hop on all fours, concentrate on rhythm and heights, now quickly swing the arms a man flexible. Physical Culture 4 forward and stretch them to arms’ length, recover swiftly and alight on all fours ready to do the next stunt. The next variation is slightly difficult. Hop again on all fours, swing the arms this time outward to arms’ length in front of the head, recover quickly and alight in the original hopping position. The next variation is the criss-cross, which is not illustrated. Hop on all fours then switch the arms one over the other criss-cross fashion. Finally comes the hardest variation of the group, also not illus- trated. Snap once more into action. then when sufficient height is attained, swing the arms alternately front and back. Five minutes’ exercise a day will keep I believe that when the muscles are kept in trim through “habit” the owner should be able to jump in any game after a long layoff and make a good showing. And there should be no after- stiffness. Therefore, to summarize it all, the real secret of exercise is the right kind of exer- cise at the proper time—enough, but not too much. Anyone heeding this simple axiom will not make the mistakes that were so costly to the professor, the sprinter and myself. The Great Dismal Swamp Mystery Continued from page 55. except for the opening through which the shadowy figure had entered. She stood for a long time behind the trellis awaiting the next move of her enemy. The door remained open. He evidently feared no intrusion. She could hear him walking about the room and then a silence followed. She carefully parted the vines, looked through the door and saw a sight that caused every nerve of her body to quiver with surprise and terror. As TAYLOR’S body grew rigid to re- ceive the volley from Ateca’s guard, he heard the breech of the rifles click and the shells leap into the firing chamber. But instead of the thud of bullets into his flesh, came the unmistakable crack of a two-pounder cannon, the shriek of a shell, the shock of its explosion and the splash of its pieces in the water of the Swamp. The condemned man opened his eyes in amazement at the gray form of a small Coast Guard cutter bearmg straight down on the barge. As she swerved around a tree he saw the white sign on her bow in letters four feet tall, “C. G. 315.” He answered her shot with a wild shout: “Come on!” The men from below had poured on deck, saw the gray menace, and. with smothered cries of panic plunged from the barge and sought safety in the tall canes massed against it on the south side. Ateca and his firing squad had led the way. In less than a minute the com- mander, guard and crew had disappeared. The mate’s whistle screamed a signal for boarding the barge, the little cutter swung alongside and Jake leaped on deck. “Good boy!” Taylor laughed. The guide stared at his employer. “Hell’s Maria! What are yer doin’ trussed up like that?” *“They captured me and were about to finish the job when your shot did the work.” ““Damnitall!’’ Jake groaned. ‘‘I thought I told yer to shove through the upper part o’ the creek, nose by this place, git the lay o’ the land an’ meet me at the last lock in the feeder.”’ “Yes, I know, but I pushed all the way through, got here quicker than I thought, and ran into this barge.” Jake had loosed the cords. “So you jumped right up on her to take the whole outfit with one hand tied behind you— hit beats hell!” “There was no sign of life. I thought they had Miss Camden on board. I knew I could whip the lookout and a guard—” “An’ walked right plomb smack inter their trap.” | “We'll put a shot in her sides, sink the barge and shell the woods.” “Like hell we will!’ Jake growled. “I stole this little old cutter from the Navy Yard with the help of a friend o’ mine. The boss laughed at me when I told him about the schooners. He'd found out they wuz Mexicans somehow an’ wouldn’t lift his finger to fight ’em. Told me I wuz er fool an’ ordered me ter go back an’ tell yer ter find the gal an’ quit huntin’ fer trouble.” Taylor gripped his hand. “You didn’t desert me!” “Not by a damn sight. But the only crew I could git wuz an ole pal an’ he’s scared stiff. We ain’t got no right ter

November, 1930 run this craft, let alone use her gun. We'll all land in jail ef we don’t git back ter Norfolk before they miss her, ef she ain’t nothin’ but er little ole wooden tub they use now an’ then ter chase bootleggers ‘aroun’ Norfolk.” Re “I’m going to get those smugglers and - ‘teach them a lesson before we go,” Taylor said with a snap of his jaw. “No yer not!’ Jake countered. “These fellers have machine-guns in their motor- boats that can cut circles ’roun’ us an’ drill us full o’ holes before we kin get out o’ the lake. I kin sheot a duck on the wing with a gun that I kin put ter my shoulder, but I’m doggoned ef I kin swing this cannon fast enough ter hit er motor-boat circlin’ ~ round at a twenty-mile clip. Besides, I ain’t no revenue officer. I got no war- rant fer those men, an’ ef I wuz ter kill one, I'd hang fer it. We're gittin’ out o’ here damn quick, son, an’ we ain’t goin’ ter stop ter pick no flowers.” “ES VE0R disoped inte-the tol; found his automatic, climbed back on deck, got his things from the little motor-boat, and leaped on the cutter. Jake signalled his scarecrow crew to start her engine, backed away and headed for the Lake. They had not made more than three hundred yards before the guide’s keen eye, glancing backward, saw the barge alive with men. “What'd I tell ye!’ he shouted. “Ef they’ve got ’er machine-gun they’ll be on us in a jiffy. One o’ them skunks must a been lying right under the side o’ the barge-an’ heard me.” “They’ve a fast motor-boat but no machine gun,” Taylor answered. “Did ye look under the spray hood forward?” ““No.”’ “Then yer couldn’t er seed it. Hit’s mounted on ’er block under the hood.” Taylor saw Ateca wildly gesturing and directing his men as he sprang to the wheel. In a minute the trim craft shot toward the Lake and gave chase to the cutter. Jake caught the splash of yellow water from her slick bow and the glint of the sun on her fresh varnish. “We're in for it!” he cried. “Go back to the engine an’ help that bozo give her every drop o’ gas she'll take. We'll do ‘our damnedest. The angels can’t do no more.” The cutter responded to the careful adjustment of her fuel and air supply and plunged forward with a new spurt of speed. The guide held her course straight for the feeder’s mouth. They would not dare attack him in the locks. Taylor focussed the glasses on his pursuers and saw Ateca draw back the spray hood and adjust a machine gun’s cartridge belt. Jake saw the movement and under- stood it without the help of glasses. He signalled for Taylor. “T told ye what might happen. Keep a drivin’ her like hell now. We got a mile the start an’ he’s mebbe not so fast . ez I thought he wuz. - Ef we kin hold close ter a mile lead he won’t fire on us, an’ well make it.” ees oa : Taylor immediately opened the cut-out and the roar of the engine rolled over the Lake in waves of thundering sound. Jake grinned. The pursuer was gain- ing so little it could hardly be noticed. Still he gained. But the feeder would be reached safely if the cutter held her gait. He looked back and saw that Ateca had stopped and three figures were bending over their engine. He held the glasses a moment fixed on them. | “By gum! They’re in trouble. They’re foolin’ with the engine!” He had scarcely spoken when the motor-boat shot forward again and began to pick up speed rapidly. ‘““He’s a gainin’ on us now!” Jake cried. “He must a fixed his carbureter.” Ateca, too, had opened his cut-out and the answering roar of his high-powered motor rang its challenge to the cutter. The pursuers quickly regained the loss caused by the stop and began to close the gap between them with astounding ease. He held his course no longer straight in the rear but began to edge his way to make a right-hand circle of the cutter. “He’s goin’ ter swing round an’ pump us full o’ lead as he passes!” Jake yelled. Bullets began to sing overhead and beat a tattoo in the boat’s stern. The engine room was well protected by iron plates thick enough to withstand the small caliber shells Ateca was using. But the rattle of the bullets against the boat roused Taylor’s fury. | He climbed forward and shouted to his pilot: “We can’t take this lying down, old boy!’ “Yes we kin, too,” Jake bawled.- “But when he circles, I may git a chance ter ram him by accident. Ill duck below the winders. He ain’t goin’ ter waste too much ammunition.”’ Ateca’s craft turned in a wide curve to circle the cutter, held his fire until he stood at right angles and opened on the pilot house with a terrific fusillade that broke every window. Both men ducked till the storm had passed. The motor-boat shot across their bow and headed westward for another circle. Taylor raised his head, saw the move- ment, and sternly ordered Jake to follow him. - Don *T yer stick yer head out there to shoot that cannon!”’ the guide groaned. **He’ll git ye shore.” : “It’s our only chance. And I'll take it.” “You’re doin’ it agin’ my orders.” “T’m in command!” Taylor thundered. Jake threw up his hands. | “All right, boss. Hit’s up ter you— an’ I kin see a grave yard and a jail!’’ “Bear straight down on her now and I'll give him a warning shot first.” Taylor leaned out the window, threw a shell into the breech of the gun, aimed with care and sent a shot across the bow | of the motor-boat which was now running a parallel course before swinging into a second circle. Ateca waved an answering challenge, swinging his craft in a wider circle and headed straight for the cutter’s bow. This time he meant to pour his storm of lead directly into the pilot house until he got the man at the wheel. He must raise his head at intervals to see his course. “Ye got ter plug him this time,” Jake 117 ie Send today—for 30 days ever written.

Dept. 211 yelled, “‘or he’s shore goin’ ter git us!” Taylor swung the gun into position and fired quickly. The shell struck the water directly on the bow of Ateca’s boat, ex- -ploded and smothered the advancing craft in a cloud of spray. “You’ve blowed him all ter hell!’ Jake shouted in glee. - Taylor watched the spot. The spray sank and revealed the motor-boat quiver- ing but still afloat, her crew working with fevered haste to stop a hole in her bow at the water line. A piece of shell had knocked the machine gun from its posi- tion and wounded the gunner. Ateca himself swung it again in place, gripped its handle and prepared to resist further attack. The cutter ran by in hailing distance and Jake bawled: “Pull fer the shore now. ye damn fools! I'll show ye who yer foolin’ with!” Jake turned to Taylor. “I see ’em puttin’ their dirty heads together.. They'll telephone South Mills an’ we may have ter shoot our way inter the creek ternight. Hit shore beats hell the way them furriners think they kin de-fy the law! Only good Americans kin do that.” Without slowing down, the cutter passed South Mills, slipped into the creek’s channel and in an hour tied up at Morgan’s dock. Hilda had heard the approaching boat and met them at the landing. She spoke to Taylor in anxious tones. “Mr. Morgan hasn’t come home, sir. And we’re all worried.”’ , ‘Called to see some serious case of illness, maybe.” “No, sir, he went into the Swamp again to look for Miss Camden.” : *That’s damn funny,” Jake muttered. “The old man knows too much to monkey around that Swamp after dark unless he’s gone off his nut.” “He was acting very queerly this morning, sir,” the girl admitted. “We are awlully anxious about him.” She turned and hurried into the house. _ Jake shook his head. “Your hunch wuz right—mine wrong, an’ I got a idee—”’ Taylor’s eyes flashed. “You got it too?” “Yes. Ef we find him, we may find her—and we don’t need no crowd from Norfolk fer this job, son. You an’ me’ll drop into that branch in the canebrake at daylight—an’ listen,” he added, “ye’re goin’ ter need some elbow grease fer the work. Eat a big supper, hit the hay quick an’ Ill call ye in time.” Taylor signalled his assent and hurried upstairs, his heart pounding, his mind ina whirl of uneasy conjecture. THE longer Clare stared at the drama of the secret house, the deeper grew her amazement. The man she had followed, the man who was holding her a prisoner on the island, was John Morgan of Camden Manor! His profile was clear, his identity unmistakable. He was pray- ing. From time to time he shook his gray head and moved it slowly from side to side. She was shocked to note the change in his features the past three days had wrought, now that his face was in repose. The eyes had sunk beneath the heavy brows that shaded them. His Physical Culture cheeks, that had been brown with sun and wind tan, had gone pale. The mouth was pitifully pinched, and a deep hollow had appeared on the side of his jaw that made the cheek bone shine against his skin as if pressing its way through. The girl was sure that he had not tasted food since the hour of the attack three days ago. Yet it was certain that three days of fasting could not in itself cause the havoc she saw in his face. Nerve tension and hideous suffering only could -have produced such complete collapse. The end of the room in which he was kneeling seemed a huge rose bower. The floor was knee deep in roses. The entire sides of two walls were of glass and the roof was glass. The roses were growing in soil placed in the room. A group of tall candles protruded through the roses and cast their wan light toward some object he was apparently worshipping. “I praise thee, oh God, for the glorious miracle Thou has wrought in this sad age of sin and unbelief. I could not be- lieve at first. I had waited long. All glory to thee forever and forever.” He paused and lifted his eyes dim with tears, and went on in tones of pathetic tenderness: | NO longer pray to thee, my darling. You have heard my cry and come from the shadows of eternity. All praise to God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. God will yet reveal to me the secret of your strange coming. I am happy, I am content. I face the future on earth and above the earth with high beating heart.” His head sank and his face was-buried in his hands for a long -time in silence. The candles burned without a flicker in a weird stillness. Clare was unable longer to endure the suspense and mystery of the sight on which she gazed. The old man’s head was still bowed as if in silent prayer. She would not startle him by an unannounced intrusion. Still watching intently and trembling from head to foot, she rapped on the door. The effect on Morgan was electrical. He leaped to his feet with a look of terror fixed ‘on the entrance, sprang to a cord and drew a heavy mass of curtains across the middle of the room with a swift down- ward swing of his arms. ‘The curtains completely hid the rose bower. Clare entered quickly before he could reach the door. He stared at her in dumb misery. “You have escaped the cabin, passing through its solid walls,’’ he gasped. “And you have learned my secret. I know it— I see it in your eyes.” “Yes,” she answered timidly. “And you do not reproach me for my years of sacrilege?”’ He asked the question with pathetic eagerness. Clare gazed at him a moment puzzled, but answered quickly: “Of course not— why should [?” “Thank God!” he breathed. “I feared to let you see the altar I had built lest you reproach me. But it was silly of me to hold such fears. Your spirit knew.” There was a glitter in Morgan’s eyes that raised at once the question of his sanity. Pee She spoke with gentle consideration. “Why did you drag me into the Swamp

' “Nothing could be further from my in- _ tention than to give you pain.” “Surely ’'m human!’ Clare exclaimed. ““I—am—not—sure,” he slowly mused. “You are not sure?” she gasped, again alarmed at the glitter. in his deep-set eyes. “No Your beauty to me is an un- earthly thing. I think of you only as a messenger from the other world—an — angel sent from God to me.” ) He suddenly fell on his knees, his face uplifted, his eyes dimmed by tears. “Lord, I do believe—help Thou mine unbelief!” . Could there be longer uncertainty? ‘Surely she was in the hands of a mad- man—friendly and worshipful of her for the moment, but none the less insane. SHE touched his white hair with a gesture of pity and he rose smiling. “From the moment I first saw your radiant face,” he breathed, “‘I knew that God had answered my prayer and my beloved had risen from the dead!’ | The girl lifted her hand in. protest. “Think for a moment, Mr. Morgan. I came with my fiancé to your house as your guest but three days ago. You can’t believe such nonsense.”’ *“Nonsense!”” he frowned. ‘Nonsense to believe that God can hear the cry of a child who has lost the way in life’s wilderness? How can. you of all people say such a thing?” “Because,”’ she argued with impatience, “my five senses and the facts of science contradict such a theory.” “Science—five senses!’ Morgan pro- tested. “What science? For twenty years I have pondered and read all that could throw light on this subject. Physi- cal science can make no progress if limited to the knowledge gained by the five senses.. When these have been ex- hausted, the powers of the mind and soul must always be called on to bridge the chasm between the known and the unknown. If a scientist goes beyond the knowledge that a Negro lumberman of | the Swamp may possess in the use of his senses, he must think, he must reason, he must deal with the invisible. Even his theories of heat, of gas, of magnetism, of electricity, and chemical affinity carry -him at once beyond the limits of the sensory nerves. His imagination becomes his mightiest weapon of advance.” The old man paused in his passionate protest as if exhausted. The girl was amazed at his powers of reasoning as she watched the half insane flash of his eyes. “For twenty years I have kept my vigil in this forest. I’ve walked the path- way on this little island, listened to the sigh of the wind through the boughs of these trees and studied the stars until I naYe grown new senses. I have more than ve—” The girl saw her opening to probe the mystery of his exile, and lifted her hand in interruption. “Tell me, please, what brought you into this Swamp to hold these lonely vigils?” He stared at her, shivered and asked pathetically: “How can you ask of me such a ques- tion—you of all people on earth, above or beneath it? You know my sorrow. You know my sin. You know my shame. You know the hours of agony I have spent on my knees begging God’s for- giveness. How can you taunt me with such a question?” “Because, don’t you see,” the girl pleaded, “‘that I am not the Clare Camden you knew—” She stopped suddenly and confronted him with eyes flashing anger. “What became of my mother? You know. I demand that you tell me. I have the right to know. Did you murder or imprison her?” | Morgan staggered backward and wiped the perspiration from his forehead. “Merciful God!” he groaned. “You ask me such a question—you—you!”’ “Yes, and I'll continue to ask them if it takes you to the gallows.” “Gallows, gallows!’ he echoed pa- thetically. ‘Could I have atoned on the gallows, I would have built one with my own hands and called my executioner! No gallows could reach the heart of my sin. It was of the soul. No doctor’s lancet can find the secret of my ills. They are of the spirit. You alone can save me. Why do you torture me with denial of the miracle that brought you to me? I— I—can’t understand it.” He dropped to a chair and his white head sank on his breast. Clare again touched his hair gently. “Surely you can not believe that I am my mother’s reincarnated spirit returned to earth?” “Yes!” he cried in a sob of ecstasy. “I do believe! Lord help Thou mine un- belief!” . He paused, rose, crossed the room muttering and returned peering in her face. “And why should I not believe, my darling? Christianity rests on the faith of untold millions of people that Jesus rose from the dead. If he has not risen, the Church of the living Christ is built on a lie. If he could rise, his children may rise also. I believe in Christ—the risen living Christ! I believe in you, my angel girl, come back to earth to cheer my loneliness and save me from a living death. Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost! You have come in answer to my years of fasting and prayer in the little chapel I have built here on this enchanted isle of silence. It is enough. Oh, my soul, lift up thy head and live! I can await the revelation of the truth which God will yet bring to your heart.”’ **And how long do you propose to hold me here against my will?’ Clare asked. a 5 LY until the illusion of this man’s love shall pass. The thing we call life, my child, is merely a brief adventure through a world of which we know little or nothing. Men of faith stand at last on the threshold of the discovery of the secrets of the eternal world. Now we see through a glass darkly. Soon we shall see face to face! Your sudden arrival with a lover stunned me. My faith was strong but not strong enough for God’s goodness and mercy. That you are in love with the young man is, of. course, a passing illusion of the senses to which your reincarnated body is unaccustomed. You will recover from the error-in a little while and recognize me. I am as sure of this as that I heard your voice speaking to me from the silences of eternity—” NO * SQUEEZING.

Anything!’ he agreed, almost impatient with her. “That’s better.” She smiled. “Now I'll tell you.” Skipping over the details, she related exactly what happened after her father and he had left her in the library. “But,” she concluded trium- phantly, “if Dad has changed his mind about the notes he gave you yesterday, everything’s all right.”’ “All right!’ he growled. “‘When you might have been killed!’ ‘She had never seemed so entrancing. He wanted to take her in his arms, but even though he might have dared, he remembered where they were. Since she apparently did not wish her father to know of this visit, it was bad enough as it was for her to be there with him in her disheveled costume. “Well, I wasn’t killed,’ she reminded him. been my fault. The important thing is what'll we do—about the whole thing, I mean.’ THAT needs thinking about,” said Tony. “As far as those Blandford notes are concerned, if anyone hoped to profit by getting a look at them, they’re likely to lose money. Your father’s taking another course and I have his instructions to send out in the morning. However, I'll phone his attorneys not to pay any attention to rumors of leaks.” “Then you think the burglar was after your notes?” “Possibly.” Tony considered. any rate, watching the market ought to determine that. If certain interests are bearish it might give me an inkling. As for the map—that’s a harder nut. I want to think it over.” This was no time to tell her of his feeling that they had been followed by the man he had seen emerging from the shop at The Three Corsairs. That would only tend to upset her and he could not prove his suspicions. ‘Do you think Father ought to know— anything about it?” Sheila asked anx- iously. ‘Of course, I’d rather he didn’t— but Tony, you mustn’ t give in to me if it will reflect on you.’ “It won’t—from that standpoint,’ ” he “At told her, a note of disgust in his tone. “But you can’t know what I think of my- self for sleeping through all this. That would be nice to tell P. J. A man who’s rifling my desk almost strangles you, gets away with memoranda that I’m responsi- ble for—and all the while I’m in bed!” “Don’t be a_ goose!’ Sheila said. “That’s where I should have been.” “T thought you were,” he explained. “When I came out of your father’s room, it was dark downstairs. Then as I was dozing off, I thought I heard a noise.” “That’s when the chair went over, probably. You wouldn’t have heard any more. “T listened and finally got up, and looked out into the hall. Your door was shut, so I closed mine again and went over to the window. I could see plainly in the moonlight that the library shutters were closed. Then I went back to bed,” he concluded bitterly. ‘Sheila, you’re perfectly splendid not to be furious at “Why should I be?” She shrugged. Then she looked up anxiously. ‘““Tony, you're not going to tell the police—or anything like that?” It occurred to her that if he did the papers would be full of it. There would be no end of gossip. Tony would be a laughing-stock. P. J. would be on a high-horse, and she would be teased no end. “No,” he said, without thought of himself. “I don’t see just what. we'd gain by calling in the police. Whatever it is, there’s something more back of the whole darned business than they’re likely to find out. I think perhaps, if we bide our time and work on it together, we'll run across a clue that’ll lead us pretty near the truth.” “Fair enough!” Sheila agreed. “Now I'll make my exit before I start a scandal.” “But you ought to have a doctor!” he suddenly remembered. ‘“Good*lord! I am an ass!” “No, we'll omit the doctor, too,” Sheila said decisively. “There isn’t a thing that you can do. Im perfectly - all right now. I won’t come down to breakfast till after Dad is gone. That'll avoid his asking how I got these bruises. ‘Even if I had been it would have me.” You and I can see how the land lies and 3 a frame up my alibi.” 4 She slipped through the door and went

November, 1930 on to her room, sore in every muscle, but easier in mind. Doctor indeed! What she wanted was sleep. But tomorrow she would have to invent some story she could stick to. Then before she took off her tattered dress, she reached for a knotted handkerchief she had thrust into her bodice early in the evening. At least the man she had struggled with had not made off with that. Going to the wall- safe, Sheila felt of her handkerchief with- out untieing it. Satisfied, she placed it in the little compartment and snapped” its steel door shut. SHEILA awoke with a start to find the sun streaming through her windows. It was after seven and she had been sleeping like a log! Not so strange, perhaps, when she recalled the events of the night be- fore. Now it all seemed like a fantasy, some figment of her dreams. But the bruises on her hands and arms and the dull ache of her body reminded her that the man whose paws had been about her throat had been far from visionary. Springing up, she inspected herself critically in the mirror. The marks of her encounter were too plainly evident not to cause inquiries, and what possible explanation could she give for such tell- tale scars? She tried to make up some- thing plausible as she drew her tub, but nothing that would be believed presented itself to her. Refreshed by her bath, Sheila rubbed herself into a healthy glow. As she did so she wondered what would have hap- pened to Lois or Flourette if they had suffered the punishment she had been obliged to take at the hands of that man in the library. Only being in perfect trim had brought her through it safely. Her physical resistance had no doubt saved her life, but she had no inclination to put herself to that test again! As it was, she was lucky. No doubt the man had made his escape believing that he had killed her. His fear of being discovered with her lying on the floor probably ac- counted for his leaving so hastily—also his precaution: of closing the shutters when he made his exit. But for that, Tony would have been aware of some- thing wrong. She breathed a prayer of thanks that he had not come down. In that event, he might have been found murdered on the lawn. But as she went into the bedroom for her morning exercise, Sheila laughed at herself. Her imagination was certainly running riot. She had been longing for adventure. That was why she had planned this island trip. But her antici- ‘pated romance would have been merely synthetic—“buried treasure’ and_ all. Now she was living adventure that was real beyond all doubt, and facing a puz- zling mystery that gave promise of re- quiring every scrap of her nimble wits if she should ever solve it. sais Standing like a lovely statue in the middle of the room, she threw her hands above her head, then swiftly bending forward, touched the rug with her long fingers. She would need to keep fit if there should be more encounters like this first one! Eager to talk with Tony, she hurried into her clothes. She looked almost boyish in her classically simple sports suit of shimmering white.

The trouble was that every mark on her arms and throat was not only visible but was accentuated. Well, there was only one answer to that. She slipped on a green knitted Jersey, turned up its rolling collar, and carelessly knotted a_bright-hued scarf to hold the stock effect in place. If her wearing it when she played caused any curious comment, Sheila would be indifferent. She was fond of smart togs, but she was well known for her individual tastes. And the daughter of P. J. Currie might wear what she pleased anywhere. There were times when this was an ad- vantage—and this was one of them. Tony, however, was not downstairs when she reached the breakfast room. At her plate was a sealed note and she promptly tore it open. ‘“‘Sorry,’’ he had written, “but there is something I want to find out and I know you will forgive me if I play the early bird and try to land my worm. It isn’t’ a very big one, but if I succeed in landing the snake it may serve as bait. Yours till an atom— ROOye oo: DISAPPOINTED, but curious, Sheila wondered what sudden clue Tony was tracing down. However, since she could not know, she slowly ate her breakfast and thought the whole thing over. As she sipped her coffee, the butler appeared and announced that Miss Wrenn’s maid was on the telephone. Miss Wrenn, it appeared, was confined to her bed with a severe sick headache. Would Miss Currie be good enough to consent to postponing their schedtled | match? Sheila almost laughed aloud as she listened to this request. Really, it was too funny! Molly, no doubt, had a headache, which was not surprising. A number of girls Sheila knew complained of them frequently, especially after parties such as the one that Sheila had avoided the night before. She wondered how Miss Wrenn would feel after a battle with a man who had tried to strangle her—and had all too nearly succeeded. Then remembering that the butler was still waiting for her answer, Sheila nodded acquiescence. ‘Tell the maid to say to Miss Wrenn that we'll make it another day. And, Johnson, don’ t forget to say that I—have a sore throat.” Sheila smiled into her coffee cup. She could bless Molly Wrenn for giving her that excuse. It justified her sweater and the scarf about her neck. So far, so good, she thought. “Will you want the car, Miss?” Johnson asked when she arose from the table. “No,” she decided. “I think I'll walk.”’ That would limber up her muscles and take some of the soreness away. Half an hour later, she sauntered out to the tennis courts and found quite a gallery there. Alicia Blake-Rice was holding court from her awninged wicker chair, and she beckoned to Sheila to come and join her party. P. J., im his riding togs, was already there, and Sheila was not surprised to note that Alicia wore her habit. But it was an amazing sign of seriousness if Alicia had arisen in time for a canter with P. J. For while Alicia loved to ride, she was a luxurious creature. Physical Culture She seldom appeared before afternoon and vanished with the dawn. Hence her getting up at an hour when she was usually going to bed was a sign of deter- mination not to be overlooked. “That’s a stunning rig,” Alicia atid as Sheila sat down beside her. “But aren’t you almost melted?” | “Coddling myself.” Sheila flushed and her father gazed anxiously at her. “Guess I caught a little cold last night, she added. “You should have been with us!” Judy Damon called out. “It was about the warmest party we’ve thrown since we've been down here. ‘“Where’s Phil Davega?’ Sheila in- quired with a sidelong glance at Alicia. ‘““Hasn’t reported,” said Gerhard. “‘Pos- sibly he sank.”’ “Well, he was under steam about four o'clock,” Judy announced with a giggle. “He was having a riot with Flourette over his moustache. She said he looked like Hawkshaw, the detective. Then she got peevish because he wouldn’t let her shave it off.” “What was the denouement of this little drama?” Alicia seemed amused. ‘He beat it in his chariot—for points unknown,” said Judy. ‘‘Which reminds me, I’ve a luncheon date.” She arose and stifled a yawn. “By the way, Sheila,” her father said, “I was telling Alicia you’ve some idea for the party at our place.”’ “Come along, Sheila,” Alicia — said. “You and I can slip off by ourselves. I’m simply dying to hear what you have in mind.”’ But Sheila quickly decided. that she would not tell her until she had talked with Tony. Tony was up at dawn and was typing at his desk when P. J. came downstairs. His employer looked at him with an ex- pression of approval, mingled with some surprise. “Ready for breakfast?” Currie asked. “No. I promised to wait for Sheila.” Tony looked up from his work. “So Pll get these letters off.’ He was wondering - what P. J. would think if he knew that Tony had _ straightened the rug and picked up a chair that was overturned before the servants were stirring. But it was perfectly obvious that P. J. had no intimation of anything gone wrong. “What’s that thing over there?” Currie pointed to an object that was glittering faintly in a corner by the fire- place. Tony went over and stooped to look. “It’s aring.”’ He held it out on his palm. “Now how on earth did that get there?’ P. J. asked in surprise. “Looks as though it was made of iron.. I’ve seen sailors wearing something of the sort.” Instantly Tony thought he knew, but wisely professed amazement. The man whose blow had cut Sheila’s lip might have dropped this ring in the scuffle. If so, here was a clue! “T’ll ask Johnson about it,’’ Tony said. “One of the servants may have dropped gg Tony slipped the ring into his pocket as Currie went off to breakfast. Just as soon as the coast was clear, he was going to The Three Corsairs and ask some lead- ing questions—for he thought that this
Page 125
oN ovember, 1930 ring connected itself directly with Sheila’s map. But first he must call up Parry Burns, an hour pefore he was put through to New York. Hastily, he explained to Burns that he was writing a letter about the Blandford shares. Until he received it, Burns was not to pay the slightest attention to the security’s movements. Sleepily, the attorney agreed, and grum- bled at Tony’s calling him at such an unearthly hour. Well, thought Tony, that was that! Thus far the loss of the notebook need not prove serious. Tony glanced at his watch and decided that he had best be off. At any moment Sheila might come down and catch him, and he did not propose to let her know what he meant to do. So he left a note for her, and hurriedly left the villa. The morning was like a tonic, and Tony set off briskly with a full enjoyment of it. Only the caretakers were to be seen on the neighboring estates. Tony felt as though he were stealing a march on those who were still asleep. He stopped at the post office long enough to register his letter. Then he went on to the narrower streets of the older town. | | He moved along at a pace that was not too rapid, giving the suggestion of a morning constitutional, with nothing more important than pleasure on his mind. He had put on a blue flannel suit, and a Panama with a plain black band shaded his eyes and face. To anyone passing, he might be a local business man on the way to his office, or perhaps a tourist. Certainly inconspicuous, no one who did not know him well would notice or remember having encountered him. That was exactly what he wished. Any more elaborate effort at concealment , would have defeated his purpose. : : Turning into Charlotte street, he sauntered along as though curious, paus- ing every few paces to gaze into some shop, or to study a sign or tablet on one of the older buildings. As he neared The Three Corsairs, he stopped on the other side of the way without the slight- est evidence of interest in the inn. How- ever, the plate glass in front of him re- flected its closed doorway. The upstairs shutters were also bowed, but he won- dered if someone was peering out through the quaint old notch-holes that once had been intended as outlets for musket fire. Then, as though he had suddenly come to a decision, he turned into an old frame house directly opposite. Junior in age to The Three Corsairs, this building had stood there a century or more and had been converted into a charming tea-room. Already the lower floor was filled with an early throng of motorists who looked as though they had spent the night on the road or asleep in their cars. Without his need to suggest it, a pretty waitress guided Tony up the steep staircase and he found a pleasant table behind a vine- covered lattice out on the balcony. H E HAD noticed the place the night be- fore and resolved to bring Sheila, but at that time it had not occurred to him that he would be back there so soon. Now, since the street was so narrow, the jutting balcony. placed him almost over the en- trance of the shop across the street. The lattice served as a screen for him, but if Currie’s chief attorney, and it was almost — the shutters opposite should be opened after a while, Tony supposed he could see inside, and certainly no one could enter or leave without his knowing it. So Tony ordered a breakfast that he was beginning to crave, and sat there quite contentedly, awaiting. develop- ments. Of course there might not be any, but he thought the chance worth taking. Apparently absorbed in his food and the morning paper, no one paid him any attention. He sat there for an hour, but nothing had developed, and he was growing impatient. He felt sure that the information he sought lay just across the way. Yet it would be more prudent, he knew, to watch a little longer. | Ar LAST he smiled as he saw a man hurrying up the street. It was Phil Davega. Tony smiled and told himself that he had expected this. Now he was getting something tangible from which he could work. Davega did not see Tony, of course, as he looked about surreptitiously and then stopped at The Three Corsairs. He rapped on the panel sharply and was instantly admitted. Tony could not see inside the shop through its small-paned windows, and the upstairs shutters had not been opened. That suggested one of two courses. His natural inclination was to go over there at once and knock on the door him- self. That probably would be foolish. He might not be admitted. Even if he should be, Davega would only express surprise and say nothing in front of him. So Tony wisely decided to continue his waiting game. Ten minutes later, Davega came out. Tony thought he looked worried, and noticed that he car- ried a package under his arm. In ‘the doorway, looking after him, stood a man who wore a plaster over his right eye. In an instant Tony was certain that this was the very fellow who had started out to follow him from that shop the night before. Yes, it was undoubtedly the one he had seen in the Plaza. And the man had worn no plaster when he had jostled Tony. Could it be that this was the burglar who had rifled Tony’s desk? Had he stolen the notebook and the map—and did Davega’s visit mean that Phil had come to get them? The idea seemed fantastic; yet it was not im- possible. Tony had heard of some shady deals that Davega had been involved in. Well, he’d better not try any rotten games where Sheila was concerned! Tony’s impulse was to go after him, But on second thought he decided that it was more important to revisit The Three Corsairs. Acting on that decision, he went across the narrow street. He knocked on the door and waited an almost endless time. Then a_ wicket opened and a face peered out at him. It was not the fellow who had let Davega out, but through the narrow opening, For a mo- Then he Tony recognized Mendoza. ment he seemed to hesitate. cautiously opened the door. As soon as Tony had stepped inside, Mendoza closed it abruptly and shoved back the bolt again. Where the man with the plastered face might be, Tony had no idea. Mendoza’s appearance was threatening enough, but his manner was more curious than belligerent. He “Well?” he demanded surlily. 123 Invigorate face, body, hair and scalp by massage Now everyone can afford good health.

His hands and arms as well’ as his chest were thickly matted with hair. He looked more ape-like than ever in this scanty costume. “You remember that map I bought last night?”’ He was mentally taking the measure of a possible antagonist. That it was broad daylight outside, and that people were passing by, did not reassure him. Mendoza’s expression seemed con- temptuous. He apparently did not real- ize that Tony’s build was deceptive. The muscles that rippled beneath his coat- sleeves would give excellent account of themselves if he called them into play. Just the same, he was not courting an encounter with this giant. And the nature of his errand would make it in- advisable to call in the police. Mendoza might cook up would put Tony in the wrong. 7 “Sz. I remember map,” said Mendoza unpleasantly. ““What about him? No good?” “Possibly it was too good,” answered meaningly. from my desk.” Mendoza shrugged indifferently. “You think I steal him?” he snarled. Naturally, Tony could not accuse him point blank of that. Instead, he pro- duced the ring he had found on the floor of the Currie library. “I found this,” Tony told him, watching him narrowly. “T was wondering if you could help me find out whose it is. Or, if not, whether it has—any historic value. curios, don’t you?” It was evident that Mendoza saw through that ruse at once, as he took the trinket in his filthy fingers. ‘Plenty rings like him ’round these parts,” he said, with apparent indifference, yet Tony read all too plainly the challenge in his eyes. Mendoza was practically dar- ing him to make any accusation. “*T never saw one like it myself.” Tony tried to draw him out. *““Maybe you won't want to see him again!’ Mendoza calmly slipped the ring into his trousers pocket. Then he tossed two filthy dollar bills on the floor at Tony’s feet. “I buy ring—two dollars. You take two: dollars and forget—all about map and ring.’ ”’ Tony “It’s been stolen His emphasis was quiet, but unmis- takable. Mendoza was smiling ironically and his teeth showed like yellow fangs. Tony kicked the bills aside and advanced a step toward him. ‘Just what’s your game?” he manded, itching to throttle the man. ‘“What t’hell difference it make to you!” Mendoza flung back at him. “You and girl mind own business. Keep away from me and island. Next time she get plenty hurt.” Tony was dumbfounded. The man was baldly admitting what he had sus- pected—admitting that he or his side- kick had broken into the library and almost strangled Sheila. Yet he had not a shadow of proof of it, and, of course, Mendoza knew it. door. *‘Now you listen to Pancha and listen good!” he advised in a threatening tone. “Do you think I care a good Goddam for all the swells in Florida—for you or the police? You try to make trouble and de- Any story | You deal in- He pointed to the . Physical Culture see! You pick up that dam’ money, and get thell out of here!” Mendoza’s fists were clenching as he lurched toward Tony. He realized that his only chance was to hit this giant first. His right arm shot out and he struck at him with every ounce of his strength. His fist caught Mendoza squarely on his unshaven jaw. The fellow went down like a log. He was ina sitting posture, with his back against the counter. His expression was almost ludicrous, but his eyes were black with rage. Tony figured that Mendoza would suppose that he was armed. But even when in the navy, in the toughest ports in the world,. Tony never had carried a gun. He felt that his muscles were surer, and safer in case of a brawl. lr THE man with the plastered face was about, he did not put in appearance. There was nothing more that Tony could gain, and, his mission was accomplished, in that he was now aware with whom he had to reckon. “Since we understand each other,” Tony watched him steadily, “you can keep that ring. See that it doesn’t get lost again—or you may get into trouble. I’ve found out what I came for—and I shan’t forget. Just remember that.” He backed to the door and unbolted it. As he did so, Mendoza clambered clumsily to his feet. ‘Tony opened the door and stepped into the street, pulling it shut behind him. He had not done it a mo- ment too soon, for as he dodged behind the door, he saw the big man’s movement. Now as he heard the latch click, there was a thud against the panel. Tony knew that a knife intended for him would be quivering in the wood. And _ people passing in the street had no idea of what had happened! If Tony had elected to spend the rest. of the day alone, he could not have suc- ceeded better. Neither Sheila nor her father returned to the villa for luncheon. Not that he had any anxiety as to their whereabouts. But he wondered whether Sheila’ was punishing his desertion from the breakfast table. And he wondered what they both would think if they knew what he had found out. Weighing that information, he was not quite sure of its worth. Somehow, Davega was involved with the crowd in Charlotte Street. Whatever Mendoza’s racket might be, he was ‘avowedly hostile, and Tony felt that the man would not stop at any ends. In fact, his hurling a knife at him was rather startling evi- dence of a most unfriendly spirit. Tony chuckled over that. And yet his findings were far from proof, although they con- firmed his suspicions. Thus far, Tony had to admit that the upper hand was Mendoza’s. He could well accuse Tony of having come into his shop uninvited. He could accuse him of assault, and defend his own violent measures of self-protection. In counter- charge, all that Tony could do would be to recite his suspicions. Convinced as he was that they were correct, he could not establish the fact. Clearly, the pro- gram ahead of him must be a waiting one. He would say nothing of it to Sheila— and certainly not to P. J. —until some- thing more developed. After all, he might be making a moun- 7

He and Sheila | _ were both so keyed-up with romance that _ they were letting what had happened get the better of their judgment. Suppose - Davega was a hanger on with the hope of a wealthy marriage. If Mrs. Blake- Rice should marry P. J., it was not un- natural for Davega to balance her congé by paying his court to Sheila. Tony _ was just a little afraid he had let his per- - sonal feelings get the better of him there. Davega might be a rotter, but he certainly was not a thug. As for the burglar of the night before, he might have been nothing more. But that, of course, did not explain the disappearance of the map and of Tony’s notebook. Nor did it add to his peace of mind that he had been asleep in bed while Sheila had been grappling with a man for her very life. Tony felt far from heroic. In fact, he felt quite like a fool. Yet try as he would to discount his uneasiness, he could not rid himself of a sense of im- pending danger. Then his thoughts switched to what Sheila must be thinking of him. She was not the sort of girl to harbor unjust resentment and they could probably have a talk sometime during the evening, So-he gave his attention to P. J.’s mail, and answered some letters himself, put- ting others aside until he could consult about them with Currie. In the late afternoon he went to the beach for a solitary swim, but although the surf was magnificent, he found no pleasure in it. There were people he knew on the next beach, and they waved to him, but he did not care to join them. He was out of sorts with himself and the world, and tonight there would be this infernal dance Mrs. Blake-Rice was giving. Tony would rather be shot than go, but what was the use of grouching? There was no way out of it. SHEILA and her father returned while - he was dressing, and he did not see her until the three of them met for dinner. P. J. was in excellent humor, and Sheila winked at Tony when Currie related at fulsome length how splendidly Alicia had handled her horse that morning. Tony smiled and felt relieved at this indication of Sheila’s friendliness, also because of the fact that she appeared to be utterly carefree, and not in the least upset or depressed over her experience. “Did you talk to Alicia about your ?? P. J. recollected that she party plans: had not revealed them. “No,” said Sheila. “We hadn’t a chance—with all that crowd around.”’ “Well I wish you would.” He seemed annoyed. “I’m particularly anxious to make this a bit unusual.” “If Alicia’s pleased you'll be satisfied, won't you?”’ Sheila asked. “What’s that? Why of course,” he said hastily, aware of the trap she had set. “But don’t bother her with things _ like that during the dance tonight.” “Oh, I wouldn’t for worlds!’ Sheila ' smiled, as her father sputtered and wiped - until P.

J. could have heard anything of what was troubling Tony. His nervousness was. nothing more than a guilty con- science. It went against the grain with him not to be frank with P. J. What Tony loathed most was the need to conceal this thing that had happened to Sheila. As to what he had learned about the ring, he of course would give no hint. And until he had talked with Sheila there was no need to speak of the map. FOR aa: time P. J, busied himself with various business matters. Then he looked up suddenly as he remembered something. “By the way,” he said, “before the close tomorrow, I wish you’d go to a broker and sell a thousand Bland- ford short. Do it on your own account— and don’t be too secretive about it.”’. Currie’s blue eyes twinkled. “Be careful how you let it out. You're not giving tips, of course.” — : | “T think I understand, sir.” Tony wondered if he did. If this was Currie’s purpose, the loss of Tony’s notebook might play into his hands! Whoever might read and act on those notes would be likely to lose some money. That would be worth looking into. Tony thought of Davega. He remem- bered his having been in the library the day before. If he had been after the notebook then, Tony’s appearance would of course have prevented his seeing it. But was it to get those shorthand notes that Davega had gone to The Three Corsairs the first thing in the morning? That would at least seem logical if Davega was involved. Well, Tony would set himself tothe task of finding that out in some way! Half an hour later they were mingling with the guests at Alicia’s charming place. It was a modern villa, built in the Spanish style, a not too large but ex- pensive house which she had leased for the season with a full corps of servants. Alicia, Tony imagined, was gambling every dollar she had on landing another husband—a wealthy one this time. Cer- tainly, she was stunning, and in spite of a certain hardness, she possessed un- doubted charm. Her romance had been a war-time one, when Anson Blake-Rice was a major in the Royal Flying Corps. They had been madly in love, and the | Major had come to America to develop aviation. That was how Tony had met him. But instead, Blake-Rice had de- veloped an amazing crop of habits, which even broad-minded Alicia could not swallow and save her face. Before she had divorced him, he had almost drained her fortune. That was, no doubt, -why P. J., and not some chap like Davega, was the reigning favorite now. ‘Sheila, my dear!’’ Alicia exclaimed. ‘What have you done to your lip?” Sheila had covered the mark with a beauty-spot, but since she never wore one, it was conspicuous. ‘Tt’s nothing,” said Sheila carelessly, but Lois Chandlee overheard. She was talking to Phil Davega, and Sheila ob- served that both of them were staring with curious interest at the bruises on her arms. Davega’s expression was puzzling. Sheila could not fathom his thoughts. Physical Cultars But Lois was quite unconscious of Davega’s apparent confusion and she was frankly amused. : Looking at Tony, Lois shook an accus- ing finger at him. “Really, old dear, I’m ashamed of you! Id no idea you were such a cave man.” Tony would have liked to spank her. And it was all that he could do not to show his resentment as Davega joined them. But, with clever diplomacy, Sheila came to his rescue. | “Tony isn’t a cave man. He’s a per- fect brute!’ She made an impudent face at him and then turned to Phil Davega. ‘‘Here’s another one,” she said. “I had them both on my hands. Yesterday, I bet Tony that he couldn’t duck me. But darn his hide, he did it! Then Phil in- sisted that I kiss him because I’d lost my wager.” . | Sheila had sensed the tension between ‘Davega and Tony, and she wondered . whether Davega supposed that she was accusing him of having inflicted her bruises. Certainly the glance he cast at Tony was resentful. Sheila even thought it fearful and was rather surprised at that. Possibly Phil had not forgotten his humiliation at her and at Tony’s hands. In any event it was perfectly plain that there was no love lost between these two cavaliers. Davega, however, recovered himself, and backed away from Sheila with a. pretense of alarm. ‘Never again!’ He held up his hand. “This woman’s a regular Amazon. But I always get in trouble when I try to kiss a girl. I’ve decided it’s unhealthy.” Sheila!’ Flourette Vandam sang out. “Make him pay up for it. We had a knock-down-aad-drag-out at The Shelter- ing Palms last night. And this is what Phil brings around to me this afternoon!” She held up an Indian calumet, crudely carved from porphyry and wrapped with beaded leather thongs of beautiful work- manship. “The pipe of peace!”’ Sheila laughed. “That’s not a bad idea. Have you two made up?” } “Until I need a diamond necklace or some such useful trifle.”’ Flourette glared at Davega. THE others were crumbling cigarettes into the bowl of the calumet, uttering crazy warwhoops as they danced about. In the general confusion and laughter Tony walked off by himself. He was beginning to berate himself for the second time. His suspicions of Davega were probably absurd. This pipe had been in the package he had seen Phil. carrying. It was in order to purchase it that Davega had gone to the little shop — _ in Charlotte Street that morning. What could be more logical? And yet, this distrust of Davega would persist in Tony’s mind. Suppose he had only ~ bought this pipe as a blind to eover his — early trip to The Three Corsairs! It was then that a servant approached and quietly told Davega that he was wanted on the phone. Tony saw him go to answer it and was aware that Alicia appeared to be annoyed. Lingering by the window, Tony saw Alicia go out, and a few minutes later Davega appeared ~ with her on the veranda. Davega had on his hat and coat and seemed in a hurry -~

It only lasted a mo- ment. Then Davega ran down the steps, and with a sigh Alicia turned and went into the house. Trying his best to figure what it was all about, Tony stood with wrinkled brows looking after Davega. Then he felt a tug at his arm and heard -Lois voice. “Why the heavy silence act?’’ she demanded teasingly. “Do you have to look like a funeral or can you be half human?” [ F YOU want my honest opinion,” Tony confessed as she led him off, “I think I’m a total loss.” “I like your nerve!” Lois turned up her nose. “‘Didn’t I just pick you as my dancing partner? No wonder § leads you around like a puppy dog. Why don’t vou stand up and bite her?” Lois’ eyes were provocative. almost hopeless. The next thing you know, you'll be telling me that girls don’t understand you. It’s old stuff, boy. We do!” It went on like that for two hours more, with one girl after another, until Tony almost despaired of having a dance with Sheila. He grew more bored every minute and more curious as well. Per- haps it was none of his business, but he wondered what had prompted Alicia’s quarrel with Davega and what mysterious caller might have lured him from her dance. Then he saw his opportunity. Cutting in on Teddy Gerhard, Tony stole Sheila from him. Apparently she had been waiting for this very moment, but if she was aware that Davega was gone she said nothing of it. “Tony, I'm sick of this!’ she con- : fided in a whisper as they danced the -encore. “This dance?”’ he asked. He was still feeling low after Flourette’s remarks. “Not this particular one, you goose! But the whole darned party. Let’s sneak off by ourselves somewhere. Get away from the place, I mean.” “Go for a ride?”’ he suggested. “Even worse.” Sheila objected. “If we don’t run into another mob, someone will run into us. Tony, I’m tired of— people.” ‘“T’m feeling a bit that way myself.” “T have it!’ she suddenly proposed. “Let’s go home and get the plane. It’s a perfect night for a flight.’’ | It was, and he agreed at once. Soaring through the moonlight with her would be glorious. “Slip in and get your things,” he said, “and [ll call a taxi. Your father will want the car.”’ “Call it now,” she advised him. “If I go back, we won’t get away. And I'll scream if I have to stay here.”’ He found a cab and they made their escape almost gleefully. He wanted to tell her about the ring—all that had happened during the day—but it would be better to wait. Sometimes chauffeurs have big ears. He dismissed the man at the Currie steps, and Sheila left him to change her gown for more appropriate togs. Twenty minutes later she joined him at the hangar. He had pulled on boots and a leather suit over his evening clothes, at _hangar-men gossiping about it. Sheila “Tony, you’re © and two mechanics had helped him move the amphibian out. Like some impatient water-bird, it stood ready to take off. “Tony! She leaned close to him, in the shadow of its wings. “Let’s fly out and look for our island. I want to be sure it’s there.” , “We probably couldn’t tell at night. There are so many of them.” | “Oh, I know I could!’ she insisted. “If the chart’s right, it’s about fifty miles—”’ “T remember!’ He stopped her warn- ingly. Whether they flew to the island or not, he had no desire to have the There was far too much back-stairs comment about the whole colony’s doings. Be- sides, he was not by any means sold on Sheila’s proposal. The more he thought about her treasure-land the less use he had for it. Especially, in view of de- velopments, it might be risky to go there. Yet they would be safe enough flying over it. And Tony was more eager than he cared to tell her, to have a peep at the place. 3 As the plane winged upward and swept out over the ocean, both Sheila and Tony were thrilled. The sea was like a shimmery lake, dropping farther and far- ther beneath them. Once again it seemed to Sheila that the moon was beckoning to her. She wondered if it would always lead her into trouble! Now its entreaty added allure to their impromptu voyage. They flew on in silence, each wrapped in their own thoughts, and the hum of the motors sang a joyous song. Then Sheila began to strain her eyes for a glimpse of the island’s outlines. Of course they were going to find it—and she meant to land on it. Tony might offer objections, but they would be overruled! Far off to the right and left were tiny lights that would be steamers plying up and down the coast. a searchlight and its long pointed finger looked strange from their altitude. But to Tony the flight brought back the days when he was in service, scouting for enemy ships. Then as he saw the spot of land, he called out to Sheila above the roar in their ears. Nearer and nearer they came to it, and Tony began to swoop down. So FAR as Tony could discern, there was not a sign of life on the island below. Sheila put her head close to his, but he had no need to hear her. She wanted to land, he knew very well, and he saw no real harm in yielding. So keeping a look- out for some cove where. they could take to water, Tony circled about. At last he found it, and as smoothly as a gull lights on a wave, the amphibian touched the surface of a tiny bay. As they drifted toward the shore, Sheila exclaimed in delight. “T told vou I was the daughter of a buccaneer!’ She laughed. ‘“Adven- ture’s in my blood. Now we’re going to look around and see what we can see.” Perhaps they were watched by un- friendly eyes, but Tony doubted it. Sheila would never be satisfied if they turned back now, and Tony, himself, was eager for a bit of exploration. “All right,” he agreed, and clambered out to help her to alight. ‘Since I was first to touch the soil, ’'m going to rechristen the place. From now on, it’s Sheilaland.” One was playing | LY HAWAIIAN GUITAR, Carrying Case 127 Prof. M. Scholder VIENNA SPECIALIST ON HAIR AND SCALP AILMENTS ROF.

Away from the coast, all they could see was a gentle rise of land, covered with foliage. To the south, a further line of beach stretched off raggedly. Slowly they walked to the base of the cliff and viewed it from that level. It was as though they had literally discovered a new world. Could ‘it really be possiple that they had been at Alicia’s dance only two short hours before? RECALLING the fact, Tony looked, and saw it was after three. ‘‘We’d better be getting back,’’ he proposed. “If the wind should change or a storm come up we'd be out of luck.”’ : | Then Tony caught Sheila quickly, and to her utter amazement, dragged her down to the sand. Straight ahead of them, on the beach, were half a dozen men. ‘The moon glinted on the barrels of rifles that they carried. Whether or not these men had seen them, they shut off the path to the plane. With a sick- ened feeling, at the thought of Sheila’s danger, Tony whispered to her not to make a move. | Now as the moon shone down on the group, Tony started and wondered if he could be dreaming. ‘Two of the men Mary Lewis—Back from Fat to Youth | Physical Culture were getting into the amphibian. From their movements it was apparent that they were familiar with its controls. And now the light of a flashlamp illumined their faces briefly. Yet it was not impossible. Since they were there, he could be too, since he had left Alicia’s long before they had slipped away. Yet what on earth was he doing there and how could he have possibly known that they meant to come? Then as he watched, dumbfounded, the am- phibian took off. Clearing the water it turned its flight sharply to the west. Gradually the roar died away and the island was in silence. The other four men remained on the beach, holding a con- sultation. Tony looked about and measured their chance of making for some shelter. But the men with the rifles were starting in their direction. _ Now, for the first time in his life, Tony cursed his folly in not carrying a pistol. Sheila and Tony now find themselves facing a new difficulty—one of the many that keep’ readers in constant suspense throughout the story. Will they be able to escape the dragnet laid for them?

On the news stands November 15th. and Beauty Continued from page 19 within the reach of every woman who is in earnest about getting back the figure that the tired business man pays sIx- sixty a seat to look at. The basic principle that exercise, properly taken, keeps the body in good condition is so well known and recognized that it is not necessary to go into details about it. The most obvious argument for getting rid of fat is that it is ugly. Muscular efficiency for work or for play or for appearance demands a fat-free body. The fat person is weak and clumsy. Moreover, the fat person cannot breathe properly because there isn’t room enough for air in his chest, and in time fatty tissues accumulate around his heart and the great blood vessels until he possibly has palpitation and other heart ailments. The primary purpose of exercise for weight reduction is to burn up as much fat as possible. This means. that the exercise must be of a vigorous nature and be kept up for a sufficient length of time to consume an effective quantity of fat. Leisurely walking or strolling in the park on Sunday afternoons will not gain notice- able results. Nor will fancy arm move- ments. Vigorous exercises that make one use one’s lungs to full capacity and sweat profusely and that are enjoyable enough ~to be kept up for a considerable period are the most effective reducing exercises. In this class comes distance running. Hiking for long distances and at a gait that will make one breathe to full ca- pacity is an excellent reducer. should be not less than four miles an hour. Walking a mile will not do so much good. What you want to do is to walk from five to ten miles a day. Vigor- ous dancing is a rather strenuous exercise and one suitable for women, for when a fat woman dances she works harder than a thin one. In INSISTING upon moderately heavy and long-continued exercise, if one is to burn up much excess fat, there is another - reason for exercise in the general reducing Fat people have usually been This, together with the fact program. inactive. that the muscular tissue is full of fatty — E cells, has resulted in a breaking down of the muscles themselves. form has been made a fat-distended skin. If this fat is removed by fasting and diet- ing, the remaining bodily structure will lack symmetry, grace and strength. Therefore it is highly desirable to build up the muscular structure while one is reducing the surplus fat. : ‘The muscles most likely to be deficient — in a fat person are those of the trunk and —_ 4 The leg muscles will not be par- arms. ticularly undeveloped for the legs have The gait The bodily + Of course it seemed = impossible, but Tony could have taken —~ his oath that one of them was Davega!

diet. November, 1930 ‘had to support the overweight body. The muscles above the hips will be sadly neglected, for the fat person rarely ever bends the body or stoops down. > Most essential will be the development of the abdominal muscles. The very best set of exercises that can be taken during a program of reduction are those applicable to the abdominal region. Such exercises will have to be graded as to difficulty or they will. be too strenuous for the beginner who wishes to reduce. First of all the person who wishes to get rid of surplus weight should walk, - play golf, go swimming, play tennis—in fact, indulge in any and all outdoor sports that appeal to him. Then for fifteen minutes a day or mofe the following exercises will help to bring that waistline down to normal and will take off a few of the excess pounds. The least strenuous exercise will be the alternate lifting, while standing, of first one knee and thén the other. A second movement a, little more difficult is the alternate raising of the legs while lying on the floor on the back. The third form is to raise both legs at once while lying on the back. This can be made more difficult by lying on your back on a couch with the legs extended and heels on the floor and then trying to lift both legs. _ The next step in exercising is to lift the trunk up while keeping the feet down on the floor. Find a place to lie down where you can stick your feet under something solid, then raise your body to a sitting position without touching your hands to the floor. You can increase this exercise by clasping the hands on the chest and raising up, next hands behind the head, and finally, hands extended at arms’ length behind the head. This exercise will reduce the abdomen. ANOTHER abdominal exercise which is good can be done in front of your own mirror. Stand with your back to the mirror, then bend slowly backward until you can look into your own eyes. Of course, correct posture should be maintained in all your exercises—in fact, during every moment of your life. The way to take a correct posture is to imagine ~that you are suspended by a cord from the middle of the top of your head and that your feet are just skimming the ground. If you were actually suspended by such a cord your chin would be slightly in, your shoulders would be back and dropped, not hunched up, and you would walk with a free, easy, light swing because of your suspension. Keep this in mind with every step you take. And - when you are sitting down, keep in mind that the cord is still suspending you and you will keep your shoulders back and your chin in. In a reducing régime the importance cf exercise cannot be too greatly stressed. - However, exercise alone will not reduce. Exercise must be combined with a correct By a correct diet it is not meant that the diet should be so stringent that it undermines the vitality and breaks down the health in general. It does mean -a sensible diet in which’ fat-producing foods are eliminated as much as possible. “Too often inthe world of the movies. “today the anemic type of girl is eulogized sexs in endeavoring to ape her the health e = = +.

There is a Build Muscle & Strength - With This Iron Shoe difference between being physically cor- rect as far as proportions go and being The healthy glow of portioned body are far more alluring than the hollow chest, the ethereal look, the angles of anemia. Excessive obesity has never been con- sidered handsome or desirable. Why and how does one become stout? Some are stout by reason of heredity and others because of their own efforts. In most cases, however, the eating of more food than the daily needs of the body. or lack of exercise, or in all probability. both, is responsible. good digestion and assimilation turn every ounce of food eaten into fat. Some people seem to get fat on water and air and in some cases, it seems, in spite of exercise. But in the majority of cases you will find that they are eating foods in tissue- building elements. Many athletes and other people with an active life, when their days of active training and competition are over, settle down to face lives of ease and feasting and they very rapidly put on flesh as Mary Lewis found out. They gain in weight not because they have practised athletics but because they failed to continue their health habits. When they go back to their old health rules, success, as far as good health is concerned, is once more their own. The simplest prescription that one could give to get thin and to stay at your normal weight is to eat less and to exercise more. It is certain that in- creased weight comes from somewhere and the surest guess is that it comes from the food you eat. Therefore, to eat less would be to build less tissue. Also, it is certain that increased work and exercise will help to burn up some of the excess baggage if one has the gumption to do it. That this proposition is distasteful to most of our bulky friends goes without saying. Most of them do love to eat. And they certainly like to sit in the shade rather than get busy with the hoe or rake, or chase the golf ball around the course. They will tell you that they don’t eat enough for a child. This may be true, but flesh has to come from somewhere and since it has been proved many times that weight cannot be increased on water and air alone, food must be the cause for it. Practically all weight-reduction schemes entail the study of menus and lists of foods that should be eaten and_ those that should not. There are four meth- ods to suggest and they have proved safe and successful in many cases. All are simple and do not require time and study to put them into practise. They all improve the health at the same time weight is reduced. In fact, one reason the weight reaches normal is because the body improves in health. The first of these methods is a literal “eating” of one’s own fat and is to be especially recommended to those who wish to save food expenses. This is to fast until the desired weight is reached. It is not necessary to fast for a very long period of time but rather to fast three or four days and then eat lightly for a few days and then fast again. Some do very well Some people with. - tion.

Thereseemed to be a deep-seated cause for all this misery. Two severe sicknesses were pronounced to be chronic and finally the ‘little mother’ went to the hospital for an examina- |! tion.

Read it and profit as did Mrs. Bundy.) by fasting every other day. But if you do adopt this plan, be sure that you do | not eat so much on the intervening days that you make up for the days you fast. Those who have the will power can fast for from five to ten days. A longer time is not recommended unless you are under the care of a specialist who understands the technique of fasting. Therapeutic fasts should rarely be self-conducted. In some cases by this first method three or four pounds a day will be lost for the first several days, although the average is a pound a day. The best part of it is that digestion is being improved and disease driven from the body. Some spoil the results by returning to their habits of overeating and, of course, they rapidly regain the weight that they have lost. Be sure that you drink plenty of water during a fast. There is no better way of bringing on autointoxication than by not drinking water during your fasting period. If hungry, try a little honey in water. It has some magic in the way of obliterating the pangs of hunger. THE second method of reducing is to eat nothing but oranges for as long a period as desired. You can drink as much water as you wish while taking the orange diet. Be very careful when going off this diet to partake of a moderate diet of green vegetables, fresh fruits and dairy prod- ucts. Do not overeat. The third method is one that can be recommended to those who wish to “eat something,” if only a little. It is a safe and effective régime but one that will surprise those who think only of the food mentioned in connection with gains in weight. The plan is to go to the table at meal times and sip one glass of milk only at each meal, taking no other food during the twenty-four hours. If only a slight loss of weight is desired, two glasses of milk may be taken at each meal. This may be adjusted to che needs of the in- dividual. If the milk is unpasteurized, the milk alone will do; if pasteurized, a small quantity of grape or tomato juice may be taken in addition. Or you may follow this third plan with the alternative of using soups instead of milk. Liquid food is filling. It satisfies and supplies vitamins, but has low calorie content and is non-fattening. The fourth plan is to take a mixed diet of any foods desired but to limit the quantity to the amount upon which a loss of weight is noted. ‘This is the keynote to success in any weight-reduction scheme. By this plan, fats, starches and proteins are eaten as desired but the amounts are limited. If bulky foods are desired to fill the stomach and ward off hunger, then such vegetables as lettuce, onions, spinach, celery, raw cabbage and _ to- matoes may be used, along with fruits. By this plan you do not have to worry yourself about diet lists or menus—eat what you want but limit the quantity. Strictly speaking, there are no actual “reducing” foods. By that is meant that there are no foods which if taken in addition to other foods would have a reducing effect. Another way to put it is that all foods are fattening foods but some foods are more fattening than others. Some are relatively “‘non-fattening,”’ in other words. To take an extreme example, the Physical Coline quantity of lettuce, if eaten without dressing, that would be required to main- tain the weight, would be something like twenty-five pounds a day. Now lettuce eaten in moderate quantities is a very excellent food for it contains an abun- dance of mineral salts, vitamins and cellulose; all important items in a health- ful diet and none of them fat-producing elements. The same statement applies to all leafy foods; therefore these foods are reducing foods, par excellence. At the other extreme of the food list are the fats, either of plant or animal origin. No other foods have anything like the fat-producing power of the food fats or oils. The nearest approach to them is dry sugar, and it would take over two pounds of sugar to equal in fattening effect a pound of fat. Starches, if eaten dry, as in crackers or dry cereals or cookies, are similar to sugar. Bread is about two-thirds as fattening as sugar, potatoes only one-fourth as effec- tive in fat production as sugar or only one- ninth as effective as fats in producing fat. Therefore, you can see how im- portant it is to eat but very little fat of any kind in a reducing diet. The best foods for the purpose of keep- ing up the vitality while reducing the weight are: A moderate supply of milk. . An abundant supply of leafy vegetables. Plenty of juicy fruits. Miscellaneous vegetables potatoes, if eaten sparingly). If onecannot accept anon-meat diet, take lean meats cooked without added grease. A combination of any of the methods of dieting suggested above together with healthful outdoor exercises and games will soon bring you that well- advertised schoolgirl figure. Gone will be the slothfulness, the bulkiness and the ugliness of fat. In its place will come the alluring curves, the bright color, the alertness of youth. Today youthfulness is not a matter of age. It is a matter of agility, both mental and physical. The old adage that you are just as young as you feel is being proven daily. Like Mary Lewis who has once more attained the beauty, slimness and verve of youth that she had in her Follies days, you too can capture the youth, the joy- ousness of living that has seemed to slip by beyond the corner. Get outdoor exercise—chase the golf ball—and catch up with youth. Eat. But eat to live only and do not live to eat. Make your body a thing of beauty—truly a lovely temple in which to house the soul. It can be done and it is in your power to find the fountain: of eternal youth within your own self. Perhaps it is largely a matter of in- centive. With many women the wish to be slender is merely a half-hearted desire. With the screen star it is a necessity. She must! The average woman would like to. But the desire to eat transcends the desire to be beautiful. How is it with you? You know now that “‘it can be done.”’ Do you really want to do it? Even the element of self-discipline in- volved is a matter to be considered. Do you wish to make yourself the woman you should be—bodily, mentally, morally? (including Fe OR

We are required by law to use pasteurized milk, whose vitamins have, of course, been partly destroyed by heating. In order to make up for that we use the orange juice. Here is a chart which will give you some idea of the difference be- tween feeding pasteurized milk alone, and pasteurized milk with orange juice. (The chart will be found among the illus- trations. that accompany this article.) This chart is the result of tests made on two groups of undernourished children, ranging in age between five and six years. There were twenty children in each group. Both groups were fed milk, and one received a teaspoonful of orange juice with each glass of milk, while the other Was given no orange juice. In SIX weeks the orange juice and milk group had made a total gain in weight that was ten times that of the milk-fed group. Of course that pace did not keep up. The final result, at the end of twenty weeks, was that the orange-fed group had gained two and a half times as much as the milk-fed group, and that there was no evidence of malnutrition left among them. The results were not nearly so dramatic in children over six years of age, but the benefit of such feeding is marked at all ages. - “We have found out some interesting things in connection with our tests. Most of the children who suffer from malnutrition get plenty to eat at home, so far as quantity goes, but they get the wrong things. Most of them are overfed on carbohydrates. One result of such an acid-forming diet, even though it may not cause specific disease, is chronic fatigue. Hard work and hard exercise normally cause the sort of fatigue from which healthy persons soon recover; but this chronic fatigue is different. One manifestation of it is a tiredness from which one cannot rest, an inability to con- centrate on mental work. Another factor of grave importance against which we try to warn our pupils is constipation. One hears much of bad breath being caused by an unclean mouth. There is good reason for thinking that it is actually caused by injury to the liver that results from that organ being overworked on the job of destroying putrefactive products from the colon. When we have a pupil whose breath isn’t as sweet as a May breeze, we want to know why, and we want the pupil to know why. | “But to come back to the effects we get from feeding our undernourished chil- dren: One of the remarkable things about it all is the jump in the I. Q. tests. Some of them go up as much as 25 points. Inci- dentally it has demonstrated to our satis- - faction that the widespread practise - among teachers’ of accepting the results: of the I. Q. test as a conclusive measure of a pupil’s basic brain power is a thor- The tient remains the same regardless of the child’s condition, and that it is a basic measure of his natural brain power, so to speak. : “But the results we get prove that this is nonsense. The Intelligence Quotient tests do not determine the final disposi- tion of the child. They merely assist one to understand the child. “To show what these tests amount to, we applied them in the case of a number of repeaters, pupils, that is, who had failed to ‘pass’ in the ordinary grade work. Remember that this business of ‘passing’ is, in most schools, and in practically all public schoois, the one basis on which a child is allowed to advance in: his work. Well, when we tried it out in the fourth grade we found that 34 per cent. of the repeaters had an Intelligence Quotient of 100 or more. ‘This classified them as normal or better than normal. Eleven per cent. of the repeaters rated above 120, which meant that though they had failed to ‘pass’ they were unusually bright. In the fifth grade, 67 per cent. of the re- peaters were intellectually normal, and in the sixth grade 22 per cent. were normal. Why were these children repeaters? Didn’t the I. Q. tests pronounce them able to succeed easily? “What was the matter was readily determined by a physical examination, which showed that all of them, whether intellectually normal or not, were 10, per cent. or more underweight, anemic, under- nourished, and suffering from rachitic tendencies. Many of them had decayed teeth. “Can you imagine a more damnable _ thing than a grade system that advances a child on the basis of marks, and that stands ready to condemn to a subnormal atmosphere of school life a child capable of showing an I. Q. of 100 or even of 120, and that takes such human material as that and throws it on the scrap heap without finding out what is the matter and correcting it? “In this rigidly graded system of our public schools lies the secret of much of the juvenile delinquency and criminality and youthful suicides which have of late years been so widely discussed by so- ciologists. CHILDREN in a school are like boys running arace. The distance is one mile— that is to say, one grade. The competing members, let us say, are a long-legged boy, a short-legged boy, and a crippled boy. They all start out at the same time. ~ The long-legged boy is like the hare in the fable of the hare and the tortoise. He finds it easy to compete. He wastes time, loafs, plays along the way, and acquires bad habits. The short-legged boy trudges along, and gets by in time. But the crip- pled boy has to try the race all over again next year. What right have we to expect the bright mind, the slow mind, and the. crippled mind to run the same grade race? “Obviously in the case of the sick child, who is physically incapable of keeping up with requirements gauged for children. in normal condition, there is the making of a situation which is psychologically 131.

Our daughter was an_ invalid when we first found out about your Ency- clopedia and by reading and doing the many things you suggested, she has got to be a strong, healthy, robust woman. She now has a farm out in South Dakota, helping her husband with all the work, digging potatoes, husking corn and helping in every way putting in the crops and doing her housework too. We feel sure her health and good luck has all been due to your Encyclopedia and the good sound sense in using them as you have directed.

One of the first results of putting a child at such a disadvantage is that he acquires an attitude of sullen resentment toward his world, and dislikes his school- mates, his teachers, his parents, and all who are engaged in demanding of him that he do something he is not equal to. “Why, we have one group of adolescent boys in Columbus School, some of whom had been given up by the authorities, and consigned to the reform school, that college for the training of confirmed criminals. We took them over because we thought we saw what was the matter. We looked to their health, and we turned them loose in our shops, letting them undertake anything that interested them. One liked carpentry, another liked to tinker with a car, another liked the printing press, and so on. And we never have had trouble with one of them. They turn to with a pep and enthusiasm pre- cious beyond words, and they go out into the world as useful citizens. Books? What is the idea of forcing learning down people’s throats as if it were a dose of asafetida or castor oil? “Let us have book learning for those who find in books something that has meaning and value for them. Awaken their minds, and they will turn to books keenly enough. But first, absolutely first, must come their health, and a build- ing up of their morale by gauging the work they do to their individual capacities and tastes. “That’s why we have scrapped the grade system in Columbus School. Each pupil takes his own gait. If he can do only three-fourths of a year’s work in the usual school year, that is perfectly all right. What he does he does well, and when he is through covering so much ground, the next teacher takes him where the last leaves off. Nor does his slow progress prevent rapid progress on the part of some brilliant pupil who can do a year and a half of work in the normal school year. There is no setting the pace of a whole class, either to the gait of the slowest or to the gait of mediocre normal.” ; SPENT the better part of a school day with Doctor Hodgdon; and I soon found that there was vastly more than milk, orange juice and cod-liver oil to the unique system by which he conducts Columbus School. Doctor Hodgdon has been Principal of Columbus School for seven years. Its unique characteristics are the fruit of his genius. He hails originally from Maine. He has an A. B. from Bates College and from the Uni- versity of Maine; he has done graduate work in Teachers College at Columbia University and in New York University. He has a degree of LL.B. from the New York Law School, the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence from New York Uni- versity, and the degree of LL.D. from Valparaiso University. Before coming to Columbus School he had already had a vast and varied ex- perience in the educational field. After holding positions in such institu- tions as Passaic High School, Rutgers College, New Jersey State Normal, Newark Technical School, Extension Division of New York University, Doctor Hodgdon took charge of the training of an engineering division of mechanics during the war, and at the request of the Physical Culture oe Government instituted courses in the College of Engineering for the training of wounded soldiers. Later he became President of Hahnemann Medical College and Memorial Hospital in Chicago. This last experience led him into taking — a deep interest in children’s diseases and in child life, which his new work gave him the best of opportunities to study. In 1922 he took leave of absence from bis work in Chicago to study and to do Chautauqua lecturing. It was at this time that he was offered the principalship of Columbus School; and he took it because it gave him the opportunity he wanted to put into effect the various ideas and theories which had come out of his interest in children. His coming to Columbus School, therefore, was for a definite pur- pose and the creating and carrying out of a program which had never been at- - tempted elsewhere, save perhaps in a few private institutions. His application of his idea in a public school was new—and it is still new. Waar strikes one after even a few min- utes’ conversation with Doctor Hodgdon is his eagerness to make it clear that though the present program of Columbus School originated in his idea of how a school should be run, he does not regard that program as his. “Now that the work is started, the whole faculty of the school is involved in it,” he told me. “Every individual teacher is helping to build it up and create new ideas. It isn’t a matter of my telling them what to do. Often they tell me what todo. And so far as their special problems go, they work those out for themselves. The system has become so firmly established, and its traditions and methods have become so well defined, and the faculty works se well as a unit, that the thing could go on if I should leave it entirely in their hands. “One reason for this, as I conceive it, is the fact that we haven’t any rules. I consider that a competent teacher should be a creative artist. He, or she, must work things out his or her own fashion. Since we have swept the grade idea out of existence and forgotten it, and since each pupil is expected to do only what he can, we don’t have to follow the absurd public school custom of requiring teachers to map out schedules, and to account to the principal for each day’s lesson in each subject so that perfect standardized uniformity may be maintained. “The test by which our teachers hold their jobs is that they can do constructive and effective work. No check is kept on . the details. Every teacher is free and is safe from snooping and from criticism. If a teacher sees fit to go off and leave her class on occasion, that is her responsi- bility. If a teacher arrives late, no ques- tions are asked. It is assumed that she has,a reason. It is also assumed that she is sincere, honest, responsible, and reliable. Given a teacher who has such qualities, why worry about details? There is as much freedom, both for teachers and for pupils in this school as is humanly pos- sible. And one result of freedom, wher- ever you find it connected with a due sense of moral responsibility and _ self- restraint and self-control, is that it makes people happy and releases their energies.” “What about honesty and moral re- sponsibility among your pupils?” I asked, e + ‘ LP ay AD, ef. 3 \)

November, 1980 “We have almost no. disciplinary problem,” he answered. “‘And I don’t think more than three or four students have been sent to me for discipline during the last year. Nor have we an honesty problem. We have a system of student self government which works because it includes representatives of the faculty, and a recognition of the fact that teachers as well as students have rights. The stu- dents have entire charge of the assembly and the assembly programs. Those pro- grams are made out and put through without any okeh from the faculty, though. the faculty stands ready to give advice if it be asked for. Some of the programs they get up are really marvelous; for these Italian children are dramatic and artistic to their fingertips, especially when you — let them do things their own way. No member of the faculty is ever on the as- sembly platform unless by special invita- tion. We sit down in the pit with the rest of the school. “In each classroom session there is a student head, selected by the class. If, while the class is in session, the teacher has occasion to leave the room, that student head takes charge. There is never the slightest disorder; and any in- dividual who infringed on the authority of the student head would be very promptly brought to time by his class- mates. They are very jealous of the privileges of this system. “By the same token there is no class- room cheating because no value is placed by anybody on formal marks and grades. Why steal a thing of no value? The in- dividual student isn’t afraid of not pass- ing. He knows he can make progress at his own rate, and that slack work will bring its own punishment. Being free to make his choice, he soon rouses to the call of natural competition with his schoolmates and to interest in his work and to the desire to learn and to get some- where. “THERE are no recitations in Columbus School in the ordinary sense of the word. That is, there is none of the sort of quizzing designed to find out what a pupil does not know, or whether he has studied his lesson. . Consequently every pupil comes to class entirely free of fear and anxiety, and in a relaxed mood. He feels friendly toward the teacher because he has nothing. to dread from the teacher. They are not on opposite sides of the fence. Classroom work is simply free discussion of the thing being studied, with the teacher there to help and to illumi- nate and to answer to questions and to suggest stimulating and interesting ideas. “If you will watch the faces of our ~ children, you will see none of those evi- dences of subjective anxiety and nervous- ness which are so evident under the system that requires a fixed and rigidly _prescribed performance in classroom, ’ ‘with marks to match. “The trouble with a good many schools is that they are so busy training pupils to win marks, and to pass the college en- trance board examinations necessary for entering college, that they have neither the time nor the disposition to educate them. | . | “We place a great deal of emphasis on | amateur theatricals, and on singing. - Some of our pupils come from homes — bt ~~. . troubling you—fasting will help Use r | DJecause Its EASY =» —and has already returned thousands to health The fast does NOT mean starvation— You do not have to abstain from eating On the con- Woe for long periods of time. trary, sometimes it only requires one day or so to rid you system of the poisons that are the cause of all your ills. LORIOUS, radiant health! How we all like to possess it. But unfortu- nately the present generation loses sight sometimes, of the mode of living nature in- tended. ‘Diseases of all kinds, and slight ailments which might later prove fatal, are the result. Strange to say, some people try to cure these ailments by artificial methods. They do not realize that in so doing they are only postponing the day when their bodies will crumble helplessly —the victims of so-called cures. There are millions of people today ailing, weak, diseased, discouraged, who could be in perfect health within three months—new men and women —if they knew the wonderful power of the Fast to heal and how to administer it properly. And contrary to opinion in some places, the Fast is not hard. It does not require long periods of time. Ofttimes one . or two days is sufficient. More- over, Fasting does not mean starving yourself. Rather it is a scientific, carefully planned method for ridding your system of the poisons that are the cause of all your ills.

The greatest single con- tributing factor to Mr. Mac- —— fadden’s enjoyment of perfect health, is his strict attention to the foods he eats.

For over _ten years following my wife was in ill-health. During this time I was trying to find help for her. We were told about operations and nearly all said we would have no more children. We gave up hope and while in Louisville went to the Kentucky Children’s Home Institute and adopted a boy. “Later a friend talked me into buying your Encyclopedia. _My wife got interested and we dug deep into it. She grew better. We were on the -right track and went into it deeper. Finally she came to know good health for the first time in “And now we have a little girl of our own, four and a half months old. She has never had a sick day. Ifwe had hadthese books 12 yearsearlier all our troubles would have been avoided.”’ Mr. Arthur Lynch lives in Benham, Ky. His friend talked him into doing something that he believes is the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Don't you wait 12 years as Mr. Lynch did. Turn now to page 10 in the front of this issue and find out what Mr. Lynch was talked into, | where they have become used to excitable shouting at each other; and their voices becorne high pitched and strident. We find that plenty of vocal training tends to correct all that.”’ As Doctor Hodgdon talked we went from room to room. ‘There was the library, with a collection of about 2,000 volumes, and an absorbed group of students reading. Later we came to the rooms where the department of home economics holds sway. There were piles of mimeo- graphed recipes, rows of ranges and of other modern kitchen paraphernalia. To one side was a model, economically fur- nished sitting room, bedroom, bath, and kitchen, all completely equipped. “You see,” explained Doctor Hodgdon, * any of our girls come from homes where there is not much money, and where the parents have not been in this country very long, and are not used to American standards. These girls learn here how a home may be charmingly and yet economically furnished; how a bedroom should be out- fitted, what goes into a well-equipped and well-arranged kitchen, etc. More- over they learn how to run such a plant, and how to cook, and how to select food, and what the family should eat, and particularly how young children should be fed. ‘Here is the dressmaking department. They’ve made all the costumes for Rumpelstiliskin—the show we’re putting on this afternoon; and that heap of fluff over there is the ballet dresses.” I stayed for Rumpelstiltskin. It told me more about Columbus School than all that Doctor Hodgdon had been able_ their own. £ > Physical Culture to say. It was the old fairy tale of the Dwarf who offered to spin gold from straw for the miller’s daughter in order that she might marry the king, provided that when she had a son, she would give the child to him. It had been set to verse and music. I have seen many school performances of this kind in my time; but I can say without qualification that I have never seen an amateur effort that equalled this one for sheer dash, spirit, gusto, pep, finish of performance and a good time was had by all, that was poured into the singing and the acting of those Italian youngsters. They had come to Here was their heritage. Waar can be learned from the case of Angelina, and from what is happening at Columbus School to the children for- tunate enough to go there? What makes the case of Angelina im- portant is not that it tells what happened to Angelina, but that it tells what does not happen to thousands of other Angelinas who go to schools much bigger, much better equipped, and much more pre- tentious in their claims to being important than Columbus School. In short, the case of Angelina Ricci and of her school- mates indicts our educational system of a want of imagination, and of a degree of stupidity that seems well nigh beyond be- lief. It points to an evil which could be corrected by aroused public opinion in any community. Any properly organ- ized parent-teacher association could in- troduce the principles followed with such success by Doctor Hodgdon. But the first thing is to realize that something is wrong. It is worth thinking over. November Health Menus Continued from page 60 Hermit Cookies; Cream of Pea Soup, Banana and Pineapple Salad, Vegetized Whole-Wheat Crackers; Corn Fritters, Beet Salad.

The Turning Point in the Life of Mrs. John Olsen “Life began for me much the same as for others. Then a fall—a_ flame of pain—for years I lay helpless, not able to move. Physicians agreed that it was doubtful if I would ever walk again. At the age of six I was taken to the University Hospital where I lay in a leather harness for over a year. Just a hopeless cripple with a curvature of the spine. “The suffering and torture of living. People looked at me with pity. Years of this—then a friend brought me a set of books and allowed me to read them. Little did I think then that that very act would be responsible for a life infinitely more important and interesting than I ever dreamed of, _ “As I improved in health I began to take more interest in things—studies—music. I no longer thought of my curvature and enjoyed life as any girl should. ‘Then the right man and we were married. “Now three babies—perfect and healthy. <A happy, healthy family—and my wish in writing this is that it may encourage some other poor soul to send for the wonderful Encyclopedia of coreg Culture and follow the advice given there. “This from _a mother who at the age of thirty- one has found perfect health and life to be very beautiful.” This letter from Mrs. John Olsen, Thompson, Michigan.

I don’t mean to imply by this that people should be mated like prize’stock. Such a thought is intolerable, and absurd, too, in the extreme. But I do mean to say that no young man, in choosing a bride for himself, should be blind to the fact that her health history is bad and that there is inability on her part, because of some constitutional ail- ment, to take her place as one of the future mothers of the race. I place this consideration of health first for the reason that love has a way of throwing a wrench into the machinery of all such protective calculations as we are considering. One of the reasons for this is that people do not learn to look for danger signals early enough, before an attachment is formed. Afterward, it is not easy to weigh the negative side of the matter. Indeed, infirmities have a way of making other people doubly dear to us, regardless of how poor an economy the whole proposition may be when looked at in the cold light of reason. If this is done, then, as it should be done, in the very beginning, it will constitute an in- stinctive part of the entire process of selection. It will be but a logical phase of that’ preliminary look prior to the traditional leap, and the importance of the issue should warrant this precaution. But in holding the girl I am to marry up for a critical health inspection, I am not quibbling about perfection of face and form, for I realize all girls can’t be Follies girls. Ankles that become con- fused with the legs may not be an ideal exactly, but their lack of beauty should never blind the seeker to the pure gold of other qualities. Nor should a slight strabismus cause him promptly to search elsewhere, providing the vision is cen- tered solely upon him. And when I feel it is essential to consider the health his- tory of my intended’s parents, I don’t mean that I shall seize my hat and flee when an elephantine lady moves into the room and my girl’s voice says, “This is Mama.” You can’t blame a girl for what her mother looks like, and daughters take after their fathers, anyway. The natural heritage of health is, there- fore, of tremendous importance, but the business of maintaining it successfully is of almost equal importance, and this means regular salutary habits and the employment of dietary restraint. It means exercise sufficient at least to keep the individual in a state of health, and the avoidance of that gross indulgence which produces obesity and_ ugliness: And so, I can’t help wanting to know what care the girl of my heart gives her body, and whether she treats it as well as the car she may drive. ° W ei take for granted, then, that she has a clean bill of health, and for that matter, most girls have. I’m next curious to know what her character is. I want to know, heaven help me, if her mind is as healthy as her body, and if she possesses the capacity for a singleness of devotion, for loving me abundantly and, above all, exclusively. Probably the worst wife a man may acquire is the one with the weakness for liking many. I think it fair to say she will put more hell into his life than almost any other kind of woman he may marry. It is essential, therefore, that her devotion be absolutely single and complete, and it will be upon the basis of her capacity for this devotion that I shall first think of her seriously as a wife. And now, with her qualifications for marriage in general and for me in particu- lar effectually disposed of, I am moved to consider what may be called the element of human relations. Probably one of the most important factors in the daily com- merce of husband and wife is that of dis- position. It has always seemed to me that the angels are distinguished by this one quality, at least: they have nice disposi- tions. For nothing, I feel, is more com- monly productive of discord in marriage than a nasty, querulous, fault-finding, nagging manner; and how many other- wise estimable women there are who have them. Perhaps you will say that they have enough to make them so, and this may be true. But it is indeed a pity that the virtues of such persons do not include a happy sunny nature that radiates joy Ul = Bake in square pan about 50 Physical Culture ett ae

- November, 1930 ‘and good will to everyone about them. It is highly important, therefore, that I ascertain the disposition of my bride-to- be before taking the irrevocable leap, for I have no desire to round out my days in the company of a shrewish wife. An amiable disposition is verily worth its weight in gold, and it is going to be one of the things I shall look carefully for; without it, I know, marriage will be a sad and tragic failure. Next, perhaps, in the deadly category of considerations, must come _ under- standing. I don’t, heaven knows! want an intellectual, a learned lady, for a wife, who will have the answer to everything and be more interested in broadcasting than in receiving. I believe the ideal woman in every man’s innermost heart is a listener. It is she to whom he brings the work of his heart and head and hand for her inspection and approval. And that’s what I want to find in the girl I am to marry. I want to find the qualities of sensitive appreciation, of gentle, in- telligent, humorous understanding that will make for a wonderful companionship. And though I be drawn and quartered for saying it, I want a mind in this girl to marry that is a wise mind but one that does not consider itself all-wise. She will appreciate my good points and lov- ingly fail to see most of my bad ones; and she will never, or, at least, hardly ever, argue. In other words, I want to find the ideal wife who has been called a ‘man’s second mother’’; and you can’t beat that for sympathetic understanding. “My husband, right or wrong,” shall be her slogan; only most of the time, it is hoped, I shall succeed in being right. I KNEW a girl in Brooklyn years ago, who was a public school teacher, and I came nearest to marrying her, I think, of any girl I’ve ever known. She possessed an understanding that accorded with my own, as well as most of the other qualifi- cations of a woman and a wife that I have come to admire. But unfortunately for me and for our courtship, she was an individualist in her views. She wasn’t a listener; she was an announcer. Although we agreed m many things, a statement of fact by myself would frequently bring a flat contradiction from her. Her “‘Oh, I don’t think so!”’ finally got so it haunted me, and just about the time this hap- pened, we ceased knowing each other. The. old-fashioned qualifications for wifehood used to be a working knowledge of the culinary arts and sciences and an expert hand with a needle. Can she cook, ..and can she sew? were probably our grandmother’s only tests of matri- monial fitness. But times, since then, have changed. Recently, I heard’a young wife proudly declare: “Harry told me when we married that he didn’t care a snap whether I could cook or not. He said he could hire a cook, and that what he wanted was a wife.” And there, if you had any old-fashioned notions about a wife’s occupational qualifications, was a good slap in the face. The young wife in this instance didn’t specify whether or not her Harry would succeed in hiring a good cook, for, believe it or not, there are cooks and cooks, and the wrong kind, I am told, can test love severely. Yet, so far as I personally am concerned, I share with Harry his de- sire not to marry a wife who is prepon- derantly a cook and little else; but I should like, at the same time, to feel that the girl I am going to marry is humanly resourceful enough not to overboil the coffee or burn the steak, if circumstances should plunge her into a situation where the appetite of a healthy husband de- pended upon her culinary skill for ap- peasement. N EXT to disposition, in the catalogue of feminine virtues, probably comes neatness—the cleanliness, indeed, that the Bible tells us is next to Godliness. So I must be wholly frank in saying that I want my intended to be neat and orderly, and not their antithesis, which is rank untidiness. I don’t want to marry a girl who will slouch about the house in curlers and a negligée until the middle of the afternoon, while her breakfast and lunch dishes are stacked, perhaps, with the dishes of last night’s dinner. Neither do I. want a wife who will calmly share her kitchen with roaches. No, on the other hand, she must be | neat and orderly, although not so neat as to be forever scolding, which is the curse, according to R. D. Blackmore, who wrote “Lorna Doone,” of “‘all clean women.” Her essential neatness and love of order must not negative the sweet- ness and light of her disposition, for this would be cleanliness at altogether too great a cost. Her person, too, should reflect this constitutional neatness. I’m quick to observe, Ill admit, the personal neatness of the girls I meet, and I’m afraid I judge them somewhat severely on this very score. I wouldn’t, for one thing, want a wife who cannot keep her stockings up, and whose petticoat, if she wears such an archaic garment, is forever showing below the edge of her dress. You know there are girls and women of just this careless type who never can quite succeed, it seems, in dressing themselves properly or completely. Curiously, such little lapses are frequently the attributes of otherwise likable natures; but I have al- ways thought that a balance should be struck between the two. This same element of personal neatness is a tremendous factor, I believe, in court- ship and marriage. We like or we don’t like at first glance, and it is all a part of the process of sexual selection. Neatness is a great predisposing factor. It has always seemed to me that many girls, not especially attractive, might materially better their chances for husband getting by a more scrupulous regard for personal neatness—the soap and water charm which is really more important than it sounds. Frankly, the girl I am to marry must be fastidious in this respect. Her person must be dainty and fragrant from consummate care, her finger-nails must | be clean, and her hair must bear a luster that only frequent shampooing brings. It was Galsworthy who said that the only barrier between the two classes was an olfactory one. Regardless of the truth of this droll statement, it has long been a matter of wonderment to me how many girls there were in humble walks of life who failed to avail themselves- of this simple prerequisite to feminine charm. Fastidiousness creates a beauty of its own. VOIC NOW! you can have The VOICE you want! 100% Improvement Guaranteed No matter how hopeless your case may seem—send for free Voice Book.

ANTHONY BARKER, 1235 6th Ave., Studio 11, New York City “LIFE LOOKS DIFFERENT TO ME NOW—" “Somehow, knowing that I could go to the Encyclopedia and learn how to treat such things has taken most of the fear and anxiety out of sickness for me. ‘“My husband came home from his shop with a bad case of pleurisy. I was frightened. The pain was so severe he could not lie down—if he did lie down he could not get up without my help. I treated him according to the En- cyclopedia. In three days he was able to go back to work without any soreness or bad effects. “A few days after that, each of my five children yg 3 Poe year to eight) had the mumps. I did not feel uneasy for I had my Encyclopedia. I was sure if I followed these beer they would get through O.K.—and they “Three weeks later all five had the red measles and again I leaned onthe Encyclopedia. All five recovered in fine shape—then the whooping cough followed in quick succession. Croup and earache were part of this same siege and finally my husband quit work with the Flu. “Since these troubles, by studying the En- cyclopedia, we have lived the P. C. life and they are a bunch of strong, healthy children. “I speak a good word whenever I can for these books. I always consult them for any symptom of sickness and cannot praise them enough for the ways in which we have been » helped.”” Mrs. Ethel T: Clive lives in Farmington, Illinois, (269 S. Cone St.). Here is a mother who tells you her experiences with a set of five books which she owns. She obtained them on easy terms. If you turn to page 10 of this issue you will find a full description of the books and. how easy it is to own them. The very fine, precise adjustments _ things that amuse me as I do. Now, does all this, thus far, seem like an unreasonable demand? I know it won’t to men, but I am thinking about the women who may read this article. Are loyalty, health, understanding, a nice disposition and personal neatness too much to expect of the potential bride and mother? You may, in all fairness, ask me—“But what have you to. offer for such great expectations? You say you wish to know this, that and the other thing about the girl you are to marry, but what do you offer—what are your own qualifications?” It’s a fair question, and it’s one that I shall answer in due time. When I have finished telling what I desire to know about the girl I am to marry I shall tell you something of what I hope to give in return. But, meanwhile, I am desirous of setting forth all the rest of my specifi- cations of wifehood, so you may get the whole case from me and use it finally in my prosecution or defense. For I am just about to tip over a wagon marked “Dynamite.” Nowadays, there is probably nothing so dangerous to discuss, in anything like a critical sense, as another individual’s vices (if you would call them that), whether of drinking or of smoking. It is a subject most persons, and particu- larly women, are inordinately sensitive about. They haven’t been associated with them long enough, as men have, to get hardened to them. Yet, as the mat- ter is pertinent to this particular discus- sion, I can’t help but bring up drinking and smoking, for to ignore them entirely would be to leave part of the story un- told. So may I, with all due respect to the ladies who drink and smoke, and con- scious of the wrath that may fall upon my head by so doing, say that these twain vices do not come within the ideal con- ception I have created of my One Woman? I say this with much fear and trembling, because I realize that many charming girls smoke, and that many likewise drink; but I must be true to my lights in setting forth the qualities I desire in a wife and in the mother of-my children. I REALIZE, too, of course, that even though my One Woman did smoke and did drink, I might love her and marry her just the same. But I wouldn't, let me say, be marrying her because of these qualities, but, rather, in spite of them. But what, you may now ask, do you desire her recreations to be? Is she to marry you and spend her time _ house- cleaning and cooking and, perhaps, knitting, even as her grandmother—no, her great-grandmother—did? What are to be her amusements? We've little enough, heaven knows, in this complex age in which we live, to ease frazzled’ nerves and give us comfort and content- ment in our hours of relaxation. What is the modern girl who becomes your wife to do in order to amuse and relax herself, when she has time for these sovereign spiritual remedies? I’m going to answer this by saying that I hope the girl I am to marry will get just as much amusement out of the I wish particularly that she will be able to play with me in my hours of play. I want her to be fond of the great out-of-doors as I Physical Culture am and to get as much of a kick out of an Adirondacks canoe trip as I get. I want her to find happiness in just such natural things, in paddling our canoe over wind- blown lakes under blue and white sun- shine; in cooking bacon over a driftwood fire; and in sleeping in blankets upon a pile of balsam boughs under an autumn night of stars. Id like to have my girl laugh joyfully when she hooked a three- pound trout, or beat me into the lake on our daily early morning swim. Yes, I’d like to have her full of the joy of living that finds ecstasy in simple common things. I have mentioned singleness of de- votion in the woman I am to marry, and by this I mean, of course, utter and complete fidelity. It occurs to me now that here is a subject that, in this day and age of woman’s freedom, might bear - e somewhat more explicit treatment, and that I should go a bit farther in revealing what I feel my intended’s attitude should be toward other men, after we are mar- ried, in order that I may not be made wretched in my married life. A SHORT while ago, at a dinner party, the wife of a friend remarked in the pres- ence of her smiling husband: “I’d even go so far as to say that I don’t regard fidelity in marriage as particularly im- portant.” This speech or others like it may have been made on countless other occasions (for people are like that, you know), but it was wholly new to me, and I don’t mind telling you I was shocked some- what. It seemed the destruction to me of all that is precious between woman and man. And it made me decide defi- nitely that such a course would not be mine. Would it be too much to ask, I wonder, if I should ‘request that the girl I am to marry should not flirt with other men, or seek to be admired by other men for the accident of her good looks or the wit of her agile mind? Heaven forbid that it will, for I can’t help wanting my girl to keep herself free from the soiling in- fluences of the habitual coquette—the woman who, as the dictionary defines the word, delights in arousing desires which she has no intention of gratifying. Not. only do I desire fidelity, as you see, but I desire a certain rectitude of conduct that will preclude even a suggestion of in- fidelity. There are groups of young people al- most everywhere, nowadays, who mingle promiscuously with one another in their social contacts. Young married couples they are who populate our suburbs and who spend their hours of recreation at bridge, at tennis, at golf, or in dancing and drinking in their country clubs. Dances are punctuated by stolen kisses and followed by cocktails imbibed in dark parked cars where more caresses are exchanged between these young per- sons of opposite sex who are married— but not to each other. Am I going to make an extraordinary and _ startling statement when I say that I do not want any of this sort of thing in my married life? Am I going to be branded as an old-fashioned nit-wit when I declare that I do not, under any circumstances or condition, want another man to kiss my wife? So Mas is + why, I wish ‘to know the
Page 141
- November, 1930 attitude toward other men of the girl I am to marry. If her attitude is free and easy, as the saying goes, then I, for one, wish to know it before I marry her. I wish to know not only how much she respects me, as her future husband, but how much she respects herself. And to be frank with you, I can’t say I wish to marry a girl who holds herself too cheaply in this fundamental matter that is of such prime importance to women and men. Somehow I don’t find the situation at all flattering to my own self-esteem. Nor to hers. x Ler me repeat that I want to find in the girl I am to marry sufficient integrity of character to preserve her from all such contaminating influences. As the po- tential mother of my children and of her own, I don’t think this is too much to ask. I desire in a word—and in the full, true sense of the word—respectability, and the kind of respectability that we had in our mothers, and which we deeply venerated them for. I want the girl I am to marry to be worthy of the respect and devotion of the children she may some day bear. And now, having said all this, having outlined what my plan of specifications for a wife should be, I am prepared for ‘the question which I know full well will be hurled straight at my head. Even, while I am minded to duck a little, I can hear a multitude of voices crying (and how soprano they sound!), “What have yous rato offer in return for all this?” — Welly it’s a fair question. Surely no one’ who has limned the outline of his ideal woman with such an arbitrary stroke, should resent a query as to his personal contribution to such a partner- ship. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and it is right to assume that one who demanded so much will _ stand ready and willing to give a great deal. Indeed, he should be prepared, it seems reasonable to expect, to match the qualities he is demanding by qualities equally exemplary of his own. And now, let’?s see if he is. Know ye, by these presents, that I, being of sound mind presumably, do hereby agree to establish, through rule and precept, a living example of all those virtues I have so diligently and in detail set forth. The loyalty I desire I shall first seek through being loyal; the amia- bility I prize, I shall strive to make mine by the cultivation of a manner similarly amiable; her fidelity shall be my fidelity; and the neatness and fastidiousness I esteem so highly shall be, by special intent and design, the reflection of my own regard for this cherished quality. Thus, as you see, I shall endeavor first to establish my own character as a model of those things which I wish to find duplicated in my wife, and thenceforth bend every energy of my being toward setting her a worth-while example. This, that we may live happily ever after. I realize, however, that love, as I have mentioned elsewhere, has a way fre- quently of tossing a wrench into the machinery of such nicely contrived cal- culations, so that all preconceived ideas of ideal feminine deportment are thrown, as it were, to the winds. Then it is, I am strongly tempted to believe, that we shall care for little save for one great abiding fact, which is this: Is the girl who I am to marry one hun- dred per cent. for me? Here, in a phrase, perhaps, is the true desideratum of mar- riage. It may after all be the only thing that really counts, for without it, you have nothing, and with it, everything. Yours Is a Charming Type, If— Continued from page 48 I reminded him that men did a lot of combing, and manicuring, as well, in public and stopped very often in front of shop or subway mirrors to fix their ties or adjust their manly locks. He admitted it with a grin, but said he didn’t see that it let the girls out even if men weré “bad form” themselves. He then went on to say that girls should stick to their-types; that nothing was sillier than a big girl trying to be a Helen Kane baby-talk lady or a little, sweet, soft, blonde trying to act like an Oriental vamp. So let’s consider types. All of us would rather be something we are not. The blonde wishes to be brunette; the brunette yearns to be blonde—and often is!—and the athletic girl wants -to. be languid and alluring while the vampire type wants to turn into a sort of nun. Well, it can’t be done! Each type has its own very special charm and no one type is any more at- tractive than another. So let’s see what we can do with ourselves as we are. First of all, study your good points and your bad ones. Let the bad ones alone, aside from trying to improve them sen- sibly, as much as possible. After that, dot’t draw attention to them. Don’t va make a big mouth bigger by lavish rouge. Don’t wear hats that call attention to the shape of your face or nose if it isn’t the right shape. Don’t load down great big ears with earrings. Don’t wear your hair to expose those ears, or a bad forehead, or an oddly shaped cranium. Don’t show your knees and a lot of your leg if your knees and legs aren’t lovely. If you have big or badly shaped feet, don’t cram them into shoes too small, or shoes too fancy. A big foot looks best in a well- fitting plain shoe, generally black; and a big leg is made smaller by dark stock- ings. Remember that! If your arms are ugly, try to correct them by proper care and exercise but don’t run around in short sleeves during the process, for pity’s sake! Now look for your good points. If your best feature is your eyes, dress to their color, emphasize them by concentrating on them, by proper, clever make-up. If your skin is your greatest beauty, wear colors that will bring out its radiance and don’t clutter it up with the make-up you don’t need. If your mouth is especially lovely, be moderate but artistic in the use of lipstick. If your hair is your crowning glory, take the very best care 139.

If your hands or feet, ankles, or figure are the best means of attack, see that they are noticed. Take care of your hands, use them well and prettily, shoe-and-stocking your feet and ankles properly and dress to bring out the lines of your figure. Forget the bad points! They'll be forgotten by others if you concentrate on arresting people’s attention on your good points. If you haven’t a thing that is lovely but teeth, be glad you have pretty teeth, care for them, and show them too, without, however, going to the extreme of a fixed smile! Often without even good features, skin, or hair, a woman can bring out her natural charm by emphasiz- ing whatever she may have—a low voice, a sympathetic outlook, a happy expression. Now for type. If you are the big ath- letic type, or even the small, wiry athletic type. dress for it. You needn’t be mascu- line. The clothes nowadays are built for such girls, as well as for the frilly ones. Find your right colors. Wear sport clothes in the daytime; let your evening dresses and frocks for formal occasions be simple to severity but of pretty material and color and designed to bring out every good point of your figure, hair, eyes and skin. You can probably wear a severe or windblown hair-cut if your features will stand it. Go easy on the make-up. A fine, tanned skin is the most becoming one for you. And don’t use heavy per- fumes. Use a perfume, if any, and only at night, which is light and woodsy and a little spicy, and always, whatever you do, be your natural, straightforward, frank self. It will go over. See if it doesn’t! lp YOU are tiny and cuddly and the baby type, well, dress to that. Wear simple but feminine clothes, wear low heels, choose big chairs to sit in and tall men with whom to dance! You needn’t be silly or talk baby talk. You can be your- self, too, but don’t try to be terribly grown-up and sophisticated and wicked. It doesn’t suit you at all. And use light flower perfumes. If you are naturally the dark or red- headed or even blonde sophisticated type, you should be rather slim and fairly tall with good, clear-cut features. You can wear more grown-up clothes, but don’t go in heavily for frills. Try for smartness instead. This type is generally very intelligent, with a keen sense of values and of humor, as well, and is con- tent. to leave childish prattle and frills to the smaller, rounder, more childlike type. Your perfume is very French, rather light, but piquant. Chic is the watchword! The dark girl can be of as many types as the blonde. There is the placid, big- eyed madonna type which should part her hair in the middle and use no make-up save skin-matching powder if she has the creamy skin to do so, and should employ no perfume or, at the most, the fragrance of roses or lilacs; and there is the siren type who may also part her hair in the middle, if she likes, but who generally adds effective long earrings and rather audacious frocks and a heavier perfume with a hint of amber in it, and whose make-up is confined to mouth and eyes; EE EEE OO Physical Culture such as represented by Lupe Velez; and many others, including sub-species of types of each coloring, from the blue- eyed, black-haired colleen to the brown- haired, blue-eyed lassie. But the point is, find out which type is your own and develop it; and then stick . to it. Nature generally provides you with the coloring and contours most suited to your features. ‘That is one reason why a girl who has, naturally, rather heavy eyebrows looks so strangely “lacking” when she makes the mistake of plucking them to a fine hair-line—no pun intended. So find your type and make the most of it and don’t, for good- _ness’ sake, and for the sake of charm, try ’ and the small, gypsy, vivacious type, ~ to be someone you are not. If you are five-foot nine and adore athletics. and short skirts and pull-overs, and your hair looks well brushed straight back and waveless, don’t suddenly decide to look like Nancy Carroll. You can’t! To sum up this discussion, look your~ bad points inthe eve, teeth, ankles or what have you, and improve them, if possible, but don’t draw attention to them by incorrect dressing or make-up. | Dis- cover your good points and lay all the emphasis possible upon them. Find out your type or the nearest type to you and from that evolve your own unique per- sonality. Nature has provided each one of us with certain signposts to charm; follow them and you'll be all right. There isn’t a girl living who hasn’t some natural - charm, be she ever so plain; and if she develops it intelligently she will be con- sidered extremely attractive. One of the most fascinating women I ever knew was really homely, by all usual standards. But she had _ brains, wit, sympathy and perfectly exquisite hands. And she was popular and desirable all her life long. Don’t envy the charm of other women. Roll your own! And remember that, while some gentlemen prefer blondes, others like brunettes, and still others adore redheads. And all gentlemen prefer natural women as opposed to the affected. For affected is a different word from effective! ) Of Personal Interest QuEsTIoN—I am seventeen and weigh one hundred pounds. My bust is too large in proportion to the rest of my body, which is thin. One breast is normal but the other is larger and sags. Is there any way in which I could reduce it ‘to normal? If not, what style of bandeau do you advise me to wear? | DiscourRAGED, Pennsylvania. ANswER—If{ you will write, sending name and address, I will tell you the. name of a book on reduction: by exer- cise “where you want it,” which may . help. . The only type of bandeau I advise is the uplift type, which supports the muscles -naturally, but should not, of - course, be worn too tight. Tight ban- deaux are responsible for much sagging and the weakening of muscles. 3 QuEestion—What shall I do for hair that splits and breaks off and looks dead at the ends? My hair is rather oily and I shampoo it once a week. Aftera sham-_ poo it shows these effects worse than be- fore. - E, McK., Florida. |

bie tl 5 Se Y . x i = “ i > them at a place below the split. - November, 1930 ANSWER—Look to vour general health. See that you have a proper diet, plenty of sleep, plenty of drinking water, . fruit juice and vegetables, cooked and raw. Watch your elimination, as hair trouble often comes from lack of a balanced diet, a general rundown condition and lack of exercise. For local treatment, brush the hair well from the roots and massage your scalp for five minutes twice daily, to help circulation. Do not wear tight hats. Before your shampoo, massage the scalp with warm olive or castor oil. This will not increase the oiliness of the’ hair. Watch carefully for dandruff. Be sure to use a mild soap for the shampoo and to rinse very well. Cut off the hair which is broken and, where the ends split, clip If you wave your hair, finger-wave it rather than use a hot iron. It is a good thing to let sun and air get at your hair and scalp but do not expose it to very hot sun for a long period. Dry by hand or in the open air after a shampoo, or with warm towels rather than artificial heat. QuEstTIoN—Is cocoa. butter satisfac- tory for developing the bust? Hoperut, Pennsylvania. ANSWER—Very careful massage with cocoa butter or olive oil will not harm you; as to development, I cannot promise you anything. Swimming is an excellent ex- ercise and all stretching and breathing exercises are good for bust development. But it will be slow: Many girls and women are naturally small and can do nothing about it. You do not tell me your age. It may be that development will follow naturally if you are patient. QuestTIon—I am thirteen and a half years old. I am five feet two and weigh one hundred and ten pounds. Am I overweight? If so, how much? JANE, Texas. AnswErR—Dear little Jane, please do not worry about your weight. As a matter of fact, you are not overweight for your height, but at your age it is better to be > overweight than under- weight, just as it is better for middle- aged people to be a little underweight rather than overweight. Eat a correct balanced diet, get fresh air and sunshine and plenty of exercise. If you are in good health your weight is just right and, as you have not vet reached full develop- ment, vou will go through several weight changes before you come to maturity. QuEstion—How can I get pimples off my face? J. F., Ark. ANSWER—By proper diet, sleep, exer- cise, fresh air, sunshine and watching your elimination and _ general health. Pimples are a sign of poor health or, if vou are quite young, of bodily changes due to adolescence. Cleanliness inside and out is necessary. Wash your face well in pure soap and warm water and follow with a cold rinse. If your skin is dry, be careful not to increase dryness, but if it is oily you can scrub vigorously with a rough wash cloth or a soft friction brush. The skin may also be cleansed with witch hazel afterward. When pus forms in the pimples and comes to a head, they may be opened with a needle which has been sterilized either in alcohol or by holding in the flame of a match. Use a bit of absorbent cotton dipped in alcohol and squeeze gently, wiping the face after- ward with alcohol. To prevent infection, great care must be taken in opening pimples and removing blackheads by squeezing. Steaming the face now and then is also helpful, as is cupping. But diet and general health must be attended to, as without such remedies, local treat- ment is of little value. QuEstion—I am five feet three and a half and weigh one hundred and five pounds and would like to weigh ten or fifteen pounds more. What kind of ex- ercise and food would you recommend? I want to develop my legs because they are too thin. I hope to take my vaca- tion in August and would like to begin my diet then. Fo, Porto Rico. Answer—If you had sent your name and address I would have written a letter which would have reached you in time for your vacation. The magazine is made up three months in advance of the publi- cation date which is why so many of you have to wait so long for answers through the column. Your diet should be a bal- anced one, with plenty of vegetables, raw and cooked, fruit, raw and cooked, fruit juice, lots of water and enough sugar and starch to give you the building-up you need. Cereals, whole-wheat breads and potatoes can be taken freely. And much milk, also cocoa, the constipating effects of which can be corrected by the greens in your diet. Use at least a quart of milk daily, even two quarts. You may even use it between meals, that is, in the middle of the morning and afternoon and - before bedtime. If you can take cream, without indigestion, do so, or half cream and half milk. When you drink this extra milk, eat crackers or whole-wheat bread and butter with it. Any good exercise will put weight on you. The value of exercise is that it reduces overweight people and builds up people who are too thin, being a miracle worker, any way you look at it. Golf, tennis, swimming, hiking, dancing, all are good. Dancing and swimming should develop your legs as well as regular setting-up exercises.

He will be 80 years old this coming April. “T got himinterested in reading about catarrh, its symptoms, treatment, etc., in volume 4 and al- though he was skeptical, by the end of thirty days he was enthusiastic and picked out some exercises suitable to his age and needs, and after a year of following them faithfully he is as well and hardy as a kid and gets around like a boy. “My grandfather has nearly discarded all his literature on politics even, he is so busy reading and finding out things he never heard of in all his days (as he expresses it) in those 5 volumes, andas economical and frugal as he lives he admits my books are well worth the purchase price and more. ‘‘The past year I have been able to bring myself down to normal weight and to conquer constipation. “From childhood I have had to resort to numerous cathartics and had given up hope of being able to exist without them, but now after a better under- standing of my body, its need of regular exercise, etc., I have discarded my pill box and have had to resort to an enema only twice in six months and I feel and look years younger. “Tn fact since having these wonderful books I have changed my whole mode of living from eating to sleeping, and can truthfully say I’m just beginning to live. ‘ “Working in a bookbindery where we bind thousands of books a year I have never found any book on health that could compare with my Macfadden Encyclopedia.” , Mrs. Wilma Burgess of Muskogee, Okla., writes the letter above.

Don’t make him angry, don’t nag or quarrel, just ask him to take you out more, to be with you, as a com- rade. Remind him of your age. Ask him if he wishes you both to grow so elderly and settled that when your child is grown, neither of you will be able to enter into his or her activities. You are so young that you can grow up with your child, joyously. Youthful parents are a blessing to a child. I do not mean necessarily youthful in years but I do mean in viewpoint and spirit. Tell your man that he owes it to himself as well as to you and the baby to keep alive and vital and sensitive to changing conditions. After all, “the world do move” and it isa pity for a man to sit still and to permit it to pass him by, for the first thing he knows he will be really too old to enjoy life or good times any more. As you have a car, can’t you utilize it for occasional picnics? You could even take short trips. And in winter, when your husband’s work is not as heavy, you could have a happy time on a longer trip. In winter, too, the radio will be of great service to him. Let him still have his books and his evenings at home but see if he won’t consent to divide his free time with you. | Now for shorter problems: “T have been going for some time with a young man my own age. Lately he keeps breaking engagements with me. I hear that he is going out with other girls. I am terribly unhappy. What shall I do about this? He doesn’t let me go out with other men. ae Ety.” Well, if you are not definitely en- gaged to this young man, you have no right to question what he does nor with whom he goes out. This goes for him also. You should be quite at liberty to accept other attentions as long as there is no engagement between you. On the other hand, a young man who con- tinually breaks engagements has, I think, exceptionally bad manners. - Cease, by all means, to make engagements with him. Occupy yourself elsewhere. He will soon come to see the error of his ways and want to be with you again. Then you can give him another chance if you really care for him. “T am twenty-three years old. Iam in love with a man of thirty. So far he has not been successful in business. He had to support his mother and sister and was unable to save much. Now his mother has died and his sister has mar- ried. So he can start all over again. On the other hand, another man, of about forty, is attentive to me. I like him very much but do not love him. He has a great deal of money and could give me everything. He has asked me to marry him. I was brought up in a house where money was very scarce and, although my father and mother loved each other, each was fretted and worried to death be- cause of finances and they gradually drifted quite far apart. I do not wish to repeat that experience. But I do happen to love the poor man. Which shall I do: marry for love and. suffer; or marry for money? Marte.” It is difficult to believe, Marie, that you love your poor young man very much or else you would just be gayhearted and reckless and marry. him out+of hand whether you made a mistake or not! I can see the effect your childhood had on your emotions, how- ever. If you marry this older man, you may have a, contented life. You like and respect him, and comfort means a ~ Jot to you. On the other hand, you may be very wretched and regretful. Marriage is not all just comradeship. Personally, if you really love your young man on the make, I would advise you to marry “him and work with him. Work with him ona - partnership basis and try building up your lives and fortunes together. You are in-- telligent and ambitious. Get your shoul- der back of the wheel too. You may be making a mistake from a worldly point of view, but if you have love and willing- os

And now to turn to the other letters on my desk relative to the problems we have already printed. The first one that I wish to mention is a long one from Mrs. C. L., of Arkansas, and is written to Eva whose problem was in the June issue. | , Mrs. C. L.’s letter will reach its destination. In it she tells Eva of her own problems of babies and housework, and how she solved them and kept lovely, vital, healthy and happy. I have written to thank her but take this opportunity to express publicly my ad- miration of her and my delight in the snapshot of the adorable bab~ that she sent to me. From G. P. there comes a most inter- esting letter dealing with the problem of Mary W. in the May issue. Mary W. was, you may recall, a working wife and a good deal troubled about the distribu- tion of income. G. P. writes to tell me how her and her husband’s earnings are budgeted. I-have saved space to tell you about this for I feel that it may help to solve any double income budget problem you may have. Of course, circumstances alter cases and G. P. must remember, in offering her solution to Mary W., that Mary W.’s husband is of a very different type from G. P.’s. G. P. was a girl of considerable wealth; so much so that people said and thought that she might be married for her money. But G. P. was far too wise. When she married, she brought her young husband herself and her personal belongings and that was all. In their years of married life they have moved about the country considerably and they have had seven children, one of whom has died. It was necessary at various times for G. P. to put her shoulder to the wheel and to help out in the family income. This is the way she has managed and I have never seen a family budget, under these same circumstances, which has interested me more. AFTER the husband’s salary has been budgeted according to the family needs, G. P.’s earnings ‘are divided as are any outside earnings of her husband. They are divided as follows: 60 per cent. to the earner and 40 per cent. to the other, to do with as he and she pleases. As the children came along, each received 10 per cent. of the outside earnings of mother and father (the father’s regular salary being budgeted for routine sup- port). Suppose we say, in order to make things clearer, that Mrs. G. P. earned one hundred dollars last month and shared it with her six children and her husband. | Now this is the way the one hun- dred dollars went: 60 per cent. of it to the children, that is 10 dollars apiece; the remainder split between husband and wife, 60 per cent. to the earner, Mrs. G. P., and 40 per cent. to her husband, which figures out at twenty-four dollars to Mrs. G. P. and sixteen dollars for her husband. The children’s percentages are always banked for them to take care of insurance, education, etc. The adults do just as they please with theirs. I think this is an excellent arrange- ment. Mrs. G. P. assures me that at no time has there been any trouble in her household over money. Remember that her husband’s salary is used for their common needs. Remember that she, too, sometimes earns extra money, just as he does. And so they have worked out this plan. I hope that other people will find it a good one. I have not yet seen a better. , In this particular case, as I understand it, only the husband’s salary is fixed and his outside earnings fluctuate, so of course some budget system had to be devised which would take care wisely and well of the extra money as well as the money G. P. earned herself. Thank you, G. P., for letting me know of your admirable system and for per- mitting me to share it with our readers. | WISH again to emphasize that if any of you who have written in and have only given initials have not heard from.me it is because I found your problem one that was best answered by a personal letter and I can only write you personally if I have your name and address. It is a really great happiness for me to read the letters you send me and to reply to them. I can only repeat what I told you in the beginning. I am not infall- able. . I think over each separate problem. I try and put myself in the place of the writer and I give them the very best advice I know, right from my heart. I am trying above all things to help you to help yourselves. Many of you have so well analyzed your own problems and seen so well what must be done that all that is left for me to do is to encourage you to go ahead. People, it seems to me, are thinking more clearly about them- selves than ever before. Introspection is a very good thing. But too much of it can do a great deal of harm. When you get so that you begin to question every motive and every gesture and every thought, then is the time for you to turn your thoughts outward instead of inward and try to understand other people as well as yourself. I wish very much that two people, related, married or friends, whose prob- lem is mutual, would write in to me and give their frank side of that problem. Every problem has two sides and I think it would be interesting and useful to us all if husband and wife, girl and sweet- heart, mother and daughter, father and son, or whatever relationship is involved, would discuss their own problem and write me about it as each one sees it, so that, for once, we could print both sides | of a problem and answer them both, if it is possible. Then we would all get a real bird’s-eye view of an important human situation, and could face it fairly and squarely, knowing the facts on each side. I hope all of you had a splendid vaca- tion, quite free from problems, and that you are strong and happy and ready to take up the problems of the coming season. BARBARA ALLEN.

To be a success today, you’ve got to be aggressive. You've got to be persuasive. ou’ve got to be able to dominate situ- ations. You’ve got to have that magic “Something” that is possessed by every wealthy man—every successful woman. And that magic something is a magnetic personality... Timid, self-conscious, ordinary person- alities are disqualified right at the start. Look around you. Who is it that wins promotion? Not the colorless, shrinking, “afraid to open his mouth” clerk—but the man who knows how to assert himself! Who is it that wins social recognition? ‘Not the shy, self-effacing woman —but the woman of definite magnetic charm! Trade in Your Negative Person- ality for a Dynamic New One! If you don’t think you can change your personality then listen to this: If, within five days, I cannot prove to you—without one shadow of doubt—that I can give you the secrets of magnetic power that win friends—win promotion—win conspicuous success in any field of endeavor—then I will not accept one penny of your money. That’s a pretty big claim, isn’t it? But I’m not afraid to make it. For I know I can develop your present personality—no matter how negative—so that you will be able to reach entirely unexpected heights of achievement. Think what that means! No longer must you see others promoted to the posi- tions you should have had. No longer must you see others enjoying the fruits of popularity while you are forced to play wallflower. Instead of just “getting by’’— contenting yourself with excuses instead of results—you should find yourself striding ahead to real and lasting success. What Is the Secret? My methods of developing personal mag- netism are based upon the discoveries of Edmund Shaftesbury, famous student of the human mind. 3 | Forty years ago Shaftesbury first applied his theories in his own circle of friends. Results were astonishing. His methods seemed to have the power of transforming people into entirely new beings. His fame spread. Great men came to him.
