Week of neglect and slackness. But don't try to crowd a week's exercise into one day or part of a day and return home exhausted and your heart over-taxed.

If you do hard physical work, you may nevertheless need corrective exercise to assure all-around development of the body. If such is the case, a good set of calisthenic exercises will be of great value.

SLIMMING DIET

Here is the fifth of a series of suggested weight reducing diets prepared for this paper by Dr. Wynne. Each diet provides about 1200 calories daily. Calculate your calories as shown in the first article of this series, and adjust the diet to your needs by taking smaller or larger portions of the food indicated in plain type. Do not change the quantities of the foods in bold face type. These are the protective foods, and must be taken as indicated.

1/2 small grapefruit (no sugar) 50

1 coddled egg 100
