The Story of a Country Boy Who Comes to New York and Makes Good in Wall Street 1918, by Doableday Page & Company, CHAPTER 1. LEASANT STREET, which is the main street of Merwin, Mass, where 1 was born, Is entirely roofed over by trees, whose branches meet in a great arch, No ono in the petty business district over guts much of a look at the sky; the fow stars that have risen in Merwin have had to go elsewhere to shine and be appreciated. Once in a while one of them shoots back acress the little local horizon, gleams and dazzlos for @ day, and shoots away again, leaving the members of the “I Knew Him When" Club clustered about Thatcher's livery stable still disputing whether 1{ was a star they had secn or only an optical iNusion, Merode Juargens shot back that way late one afternoon in June, on the @ay before I won the ball game pitching for Merwin against her hereditary enemies from Hintonville. His daughter, Muriel, was with him, and his sec- retary, and chauffeur, all in his big red car, Juergens represented several tufilion doliars as he drove up Main Street (hat day.

GE aud the eppearance of old age can most certainly be deterred almost as long as you have the will-power to prevent it from at- tacking you, because, as I have told you before, it is a hardening and thickening of the arteries and stiffening of the muscles which can only be prevented or overcome Ubrough constant physical exercises | Therefore you osn see the utter folly of depending | wholly upon tissue builders and cold creams to re- Juvenate the face, throat neck, and while these lubricants do help to keep the skin soft and smoot!: their effects are hardly deep enough nor far reaching | i enough to make any material difference in the condi- : G tion of the muscles. Therefore you must get busy with ‘Vw PORE. some of the following exercives, which, while mor: strenuous than massage, are really in the end more beneficial. i If you bave time in the morning for exerci, lie across the bed and allow your head to hang over the edge of it. Then slowly raise head and vend it forward until it rests on your chest, Aftor a second or so let the head go slowly backward over side of the bed and bend the neck tackward as far as possible, Do this movement not more than ten times or even five in the be ginning, as it 1s most strenuous and often causes dizziness and nausea, However, for those who can stand It without discomtort, { consider it the very best one for heavy double chin and stringy neck in my entire series, Those who find this exercise easy for them should practice it several times a day, with neck and body free from tight clothing and all restric. tong, of course, to permit free blood circulation, and then follow the ex ercige with a massage with a good heavy cold cream, using the tips the fingers in circular movement in the back a8 well as the front, five minute n make the dreadful mist neglecting t back of the neck, even when powdering, which of course, giver the startling | effect wo different colors to the skin, on the same pari of the body, Wipe tbe cream away with a soft gauze. for about!
