Relaxing The Muscles
The first exercise should be one! to relax the muscles and put them into condition for active service:: Have you ever seen a cat awaken? First, he puts out one paw, then the other until all have been stretched, then braces his feet, flexes his claws, and stretches every muscle in his body.
This is a good guide for starting| off the "daily dozen.”

SPECIMEN DIET
Those of you who think it is necessary to exist on black coffee and grapefruit (or less) in order to reduce your figure (and perhaps. irretrievably damage your health), will be interested to read of the specimen diet used in one of the most famous London hospitals with satisfactory results.
Ten minutes gentle exercising accompanies the diet regime.
It is stated that the "patients" remain quite well, can continue with their every-day life, and Tose from two to six stone in two. months:
Breakfast Tea with two table- spoonfuls of milk, two eggs, one thin water biscuit with a piece of butter the size of a walnut, and a quarter of a pound of tomatoes.
MIDDAY MEAL-About three ounces of lean meat or cheese. A good plateful of green vegetables or salad. One small apple, orange, pear, or grapefruit, and half a dry water biscuit.
TEA-Tea with two tablespoon-. fuls of milk, one egg, one water biscuit with a piece of butter half the size of a walnut.
SUPPER—About six ounces of steamed fish, a piece of butter the size of two walnuts. A plateful of green vegetables or salad. One small apple, orange, pear, or grape- fruit, and one dry water biscuit.
This works out at 11,500 calories a day. There are at least six kinds of water biscuits that can be eaten instead of bread, so that one need not get tired of them. One teaspoon- ful of meat essence should be taken every day. Foods to avoid are pud- dings, sugar, and floury foods such as macaroni
Ten minutes' exercise night and morning will help to keep the mus cles firm and healthy.
