~S. Army Exerci Posed by Pauline Furlong ing World Publishes These Exercises to Help Ali _ Men and Women Prepare for Any Call to Service. ” ‘Coprright, 1917, by the Prew Publishing Co, (The New York Prening World), THIRD SET—Free Hand Exercise No. 1. HE upper body and shoulder exercise is practised as follows: Stand ‘with heels together, tips of fingers resting on shoulders, as in figure one. Then assume position shown in figure two, bringing the eibows together sharply {i front, as in figure two, and then throwing them backward until the shoulder blades meet in the back. Repeat this move- ment ten times. Those who are round shouldered, hollow or natrow chested, should practise this exercise often. It also removes fat from shoulder blades. . ‘These and other exercises greatly accelerate the breathing movements and increase the depth of respiration, which fs their chief object, and while practising them, deep ‘nhalutions and exhalations should be indulged in ‘and smoothly. In this way all exercises are of two-fold benefit, Yuding as they do the deep breathing ones, which most persons find so ‘Rotonous when practised alone. Answers to Health and Beauty Questions.
