Morning Exercises.
Calisthenics taken in the early morning do much to keep up the general health. Standing, warmly but loosely clad, at an open window and inhaling deep breaths of fresh air will stimulate the blood quickly. This might be followed with two or three easy exercises. One might consist of doubling the fists, placing them at the and then thrusting them out at arms’ length swiftly. After that it would be well to bend, trying to touch the floor with the finger tips without bending the knees. These calisthenics might be concluded with a final one of kneeling and bending forward the floor frona the waist. The whole performance need not take more than five minutes, and will do more to make circulation lively and muscles in good condition than any amount of medicine. Place your “Want Ad” in The Democrat and get results.
