T is a mistake to think that exercises should only be practised in the morning. A few minutes exercise at bedtime is ex- cellent for the sedentary worker and for the indifferent sleeper.

Place the hands behind the head and stretch from the waist downwards. First, with the toes pointing upwards; then with the toes pointing down. Relax. Repeal.

STAND ERECT but without tension. Hecls together. burt-not-fattening line to the skirt. Spine straight. Hands on hips. High-step, bringing the knees smartly up and keeping the toes pointing down. Be sure and hold read level. Repeat twelve times.,.Relax. Deepbreathe.
