Physical Education Organiser at the London Polytechnic.
ARE you feeling fed-up and washed-outs on ourwork tire you and shopping bore you?
Then now is to something about it.
May is the best month of the year to start a now get-fit_campaign. It is the time when, with winter over and summer coming, you most want to feel at your best. All the incen- tive is there.
But exercises? I can imagine your raised eyebrows. That is because you probably still have the old-fashioned view about exercising.
There is no need nowadays to think you must leap out of bed at dawn and do violent physical jerks before breakfast,
Doctors now advise against that in any case. They believe in starting the day gently, be cause your just-out-of-bed body is not yet tuned to violent exercise. The modern view stresses more the aesthetic and psychological value of exercising.
That is why it is so important to women, to YOU,
The exercises in these articles will chiefly stress good postúfe, Vital for the radiance and well-being which is every woman's right.

Ever Taste Rose-Root Jelly?
-it's Very Good Spread on Lily-Root Biscuits-
By MAX TRELL
KNARF, the shadow-boy with the turned-about name, went quickly across the lawn until he reached the apple tree near the garden wall. He walked around the trunk, looking closely among the roots. Finally he discovered what he was looking for the entrance to Blinky Mole's under ground lodgings.
