He came out oi the dressing room, wen out through the gate and disappeared in the woods. When I asked his iriends why he did that they said that Nurmi very seldom ran on the track.

Water is poured 1 the stones and the room ie filled | with steam. The temperature is hept very high, and the body is cleaned much better than it could be by any amount of hot air. Many Pinns take bath every day. and all Finnish athletes take at least three or four a week eepecially before a competition. Afte hard training the muscles are tired out. but a steam bath makes the blood circulate lke a hard mascige. Tt is really better than boca s it takes the fatigue out without hurt- ing, and hard massage leaves the muscles aching. A Finn usually takes a steum hath the day before a competition, but for those unaccustomed to it that is too neur the event. A steam bath makes one relax thoroughly. If taken two days before the competition, with strong food afterward. it puts one in fine form for competition. Many people have wondered also what diet the Finns use. Diet is, of course, much more important for long- | distance runners than for other ath- | letes, but. as far as I have been able {to find out, the Finns don't use any | special diet.
