you must have had a devil of a father." The old man
came back hotly: "I had a damn sight better father than you have."

Fretting is like a rocking chair, you can do a great deal of agitating

Do not kick at the squirrel that runs up to you in the park; it may be
only mistaken identity--he thought he saw a nut.

SUPREME BODY BUILDING METHOD

HEALTH, HARMONY, POWER, SERVICE:= That is what a supreme body
gives. Do not always be taking care of your health, take care of your
body and you will generate health. Thought animates the body with

Then repeat with the right hand resisting the left. Repeat exercise 5
times.

=THIRD EXERCISE:= Grasp the hands firmly above the head, letting
them be at rest on top of the head. Then pull hard from right to left
