How to Malte Your Children "Husky"
PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR TOTS
Atlantan Says Parents Should
See to Development of the
Youngsters While Small.
If you don’t believe Professor F. B.
McGee knows how to raise children, he
has three —as fine as you ever saw—as
proof, and all of them are strong 1 ,
healthy and muscular beyond the nor
mal. And every one of them can put
on a performance that would be a
credit to a circus acrobat.

Professor F. B. McGee and his l.itle son in two of the tot's physical culture training feats
The weight the child is holding weighs fifty pounds.
of physical culture for 21 years. He
believes thal children must be strong
to be successful in the battle of life.
He believes also they will never grow
as strong as they ought to unless their
parents take them in hand.
Here is the McGee system:
"Start with your children when they
are a month old. Too young, you say?
Nonsense. Put your fingers out and
the child will grab them. Pull him (for
convenience well say he's a boy,
though it works as well with a girl) up
from a reclining position as far as he
will hold on. Keep this up a few weeks,
trying it a few minutes a day, and you
will be able to pull lhe child up to a
sitting posture.
Hold It by Its Fingers.
"If the child is healthy and normally
strong, you can hold it in midair by
its fingers by the time it is three months
old.
"Gradually teach the child other lit
tle tricks.
"For instance:
Roll it around on the floor.
"Pick it up by its feet."
“Pick it up by its head. Don't let its
mother see this going on at first or
she'll call it murder. Do it gently and
there's no danger.
“Make it play wheelbarrow.
"When my first child was three years
old 1 bought him a tiny pair of dumb
bells. By the time he was five he could
swing them well enough to give exhi
bitions. Club swinging is good if you
know enough about it to teach the
child, if you don't, try something else.
Make Play of It.
"The idea is to teach the children
whatever you know best.
"Be sure to make play of it. If the
children regard It as work, they will
get neither pleasure nor development
out of it. Don't be too dignified to make
a romp of it. If you can't get down on
the floor and throw somersaults with
the children it is time you learned."
The McGee children are Impressive
advertisements for the McGee physical
culture system. The older ones, a boy
and a girl, can do lots of circus stunts;
can box like, professionals and are as
hard as nails.
The youngest, a little shaver no big
ger than a pint of cider, can do more
tricks than the average growp man.
One is to stand on his feet, his hands
and his head, with his little torso,
"tummy" up, forming a perfect arch —
which is “some trick" for the average
grown man. Another is to stand erect
on his father's hand, held high in air.
His feature performance is the lifting
of a 50-pound weight, of course he
doesn’t actually lift it. But he seizes
the weight and his father puts his
hands under the baby's arms and locks
them together on his chest. Then the
father lifts, ami the baby, holding the
weight, comes up, too. Sometimes for
as long as a minute he holds the weight
suspended. Then his fingers relax and
it drops. That it is a real 50-pound
weight the photographer will testify.
He nearly broke his back trying to
lift it.

liam B. Adams, manager of a drug
store.
About three months ago. according to
the bride's acquaintances, she went into
a drug store to get a remedy for heart
burn. Adams happened to be the clerk
to whom she applied, and his remedy

the marriage taking place 90 days after
the two met.

were married by a justice.

teen months ago, Mrs. Salzman-Kienlen

Prof McGee's Hints on
Developing Children
Don’t be afraid of breaking
your children; they’re not as
fragile as they look.

hone too young.
Get acquainted with your
kids. They're worth it.
