Straighten Up.

Anybody can cure round shoulders by a very simple system of exercise. The round-shouldered man should go into the open air three or four times a day, let his hands drop to his sides and then, while inhaling fresh air, raise himself on his toes as high as he can. The filling of the lungs pushes the shoulders back to their normal position, and if the practice is steadily followed for a couple of months, the worst pair of stoop shoulders in time will become as straight as a drill sergeant’s.
