JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY
To strengthen the spine and learn how
to carry the upper part of the body no
Delsarte exercise could have more effect
than the simple home method of stand
ing half the length of the body from,
the wall, resting the head against It and
lifting a chair from the floor. In time
such a firm footing will be established
that It Is possible to pick the chair up
and regain an erect position.
Another exorcise to strengthen the
same muscles Is to rest the tips of the
fingers against the wall and lean toward
it as far as possible, always using the
hand as a guide to maintain equilib
rium. No exercise to cure round shoulders
and obtain an erect figure could be
better than to hold a book balanced on
the head while stepping up and down on
a chair. At first It la both tiresome and
difficult, but it soon becomes quite easy,
and It not only keeps the head in the
correct position, but it teaches the

has been removed the denuded sur

CURIOUS Every one should take a
certain amount of exercise In the open
air. The best form of exercise, and the
most natural. Is correct walking, which
brings Into play every function of the
body. A healthy person may easily
walk five miles a day; those who hava
not sufficient strength should only go
so far as is not fatiguing.
