Ne better adviser concerning the use of ex ex

director of athletics of the New Yerk Athle
tic club, who has long been n champion
general athlete, and who has kept himselriii
such geed trim, bj exerclse, that in tvventy tvventy
tlve years lie has net grown te leek or feel n
day elder. It is his linn heller that a man
who takes proper euro of himself should net

failure et any et his faculties or powers,
physical or mental, befere he Is sixtj, nnd
lie avers that if the avoraste rich man would
take hall' as much eare or himself as he has
taken of his herses he would prolong his llie
nnd his enjoyment of It maiij- j-ears. .Mr.
(Joldle has inade a llfe study el development
ofthe capabilities ofthe human frame, and
what he doesn't knew about putting men in
any desired physical condition would be
very llttle Indeed. Doing consulted about
the subject et this artlcle he said :
"If a lean man came te me te be inade
stouter, 1 should first et all liml out if Miy
thlng idled him. If he was emaciated
through fdcknesx, and the special cause ter
liis condition still oxisted, 1 would send him
te a doctor te be cured. if he was net sick, 1
would put him through n ceurse of exerclse
that would bring out his muscles. I nan
hardlj'coucelve that any man In iossesslou
of bis sonses would wish te acquire mere fat.
Muscle Is what Is wanted, and It belng
clearly understood that tint Is what the lean
man is really after, the course of bis treat
ment would tie simple. 1 would advise him
te take plenty of geed, nourishing plain feed,
roast beef, mutton chops, poultry, birds,
beelsteak, potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips,
and turnips, as Ids npjKitite demanded,
starchy feeds and saccharine, with lenly of
milk, If It agreed with lilm, and occasionally
lisii ter a change, no sueiitu tane no spices,
and 1 would net recommend perk te him or
te anybody olse. Ferk is net t,oel loed ler

let lilm stick te malt liquors, as tree from

Nature may for a whlle contend with con

Nature has chalked out thelr proportions,
aud, though you inaj- assist her, or perhaps
modify her plau te a limited extent, you can
only go se fur, and no further. Whlle I was

equally ndnptable te all. That which re
duces the lat man will put weight en the
lean one, proper regulations of dlet being
applled in each case suitable te tlie end In
Mew. 1 would net nil vise Turkish or Rus
sian baths for a lean man, Imt plain ordinary

the skill healthy. Veak ten doesn't de any

fulness of It Is net conspicuous enough te
constitute it any part el my system. I
would rather see It used in summer than
Ice water. Thore Is no particular dillerence.
In training, Ixitwoen the cllectx of ten and
ceflee, inur both, ir taken nt nil, should be
net t.Ki strong and consumed in moderation.
The use or tobacco has a tondeney te kecp a
thin man thin, but the treuble about It Is that
lx)raens addicted te its use are apt te carry It
te o.x.'exs, and tlien it has an Injurious etlect
upon the heart It Is therefore best te let It
alonelfoiio wishes te attain the highest pos
sible geed of physical development,
" lu practical experience, directing as I de
the physical training or a greit many men, I
llud that almost every man I get te put In
condition, who Is Inclined te be thin, In the
ceurse el six or seven months gains seven or
eight pounds of geed muscle. That may
seem small when put en paper, but .take n
man nl lili pounds and bring htm up te 132
or 1.11 iveunils with well-placed muscle, and
the dillerence It will make In his appearnnce
will lm astonishing. The lean man has ene
consideration te cheer aud onceurago lilm In
perseverance that the fat man has net. That
is that tbe results or his work continue, and
are net lest 11s seen as he steps the process
by which they have been attained. The fat
man whrjiias werked and dieted until he
has get rid et his corpulence must continue
le diet and work, or the lat Is likely te ceme
rushing en him much faster than lie get rid
or it; but the muscle that llie leau man gets
comes te staj', and his coutlnuance of the
training that procured It Ter lilm lsenlyn
matter or his own choice for its Increase.
Uetween thirty and forty j ears Is the age nt
which, If a man is ever going te take en
llesh, lie Is most likely te de se. 'Would I
recommend exerclse or long walks before

such treatment ler themselves, but nobody
Is likely te be benetlted by Ik A llttle light
