FINDING YOUTH AT FORTY
WHY SURRENDER TO OLD
a'ge WHEN YOUTHFULNESS
IS NATURE’S WAY ?
LIFT YOUR CHIN AND “WALK
ON AIR.”
Here is a preliminary exercise for
keeping the body lightsome and
young.
Lift your chin quite clear from
the neck, and keep your whole body
from shoulder to hip quite still and
erect, while walking upstairs, down
stairs or on a level.
Stand on the balls of the feet
until you are in perfect balance, then
in walking carry your weight for
ward. so that it will never be out of
balance, but always in a perfectly
vertical line above the foot which
supports it.
Remember the lifted chin, the gtill
waist, the vertical line from hip to
shoulder, the perfect balance every
instant—you will And that the met
aphor of “walking on air" has become
a reality.
BY DIANA WATTS
.World’s youngest middle-aged woman,
and international authority on physical
secrets of the ancient Greeks; author
of “The Renaissance of the Greek
Ideal.”
Why does the woman approaching 40
surrender herself ta the deadly belief
that she is physically on the down grade?
I am afraid the answer that would fit
most cases is, “Laziness;" a condition of
bpzinesa. induced by the genuine fatigue
that is regarded as the normal condition
of middle life.
Study the average woman of 35 and
over, as she walks in front of you on
the streets. She looks as though she
had a leg at each corner. No joints
at the knees, no “Springs in the feet ; a
lax. crumpled-up diaphragm, sagging
muscles, and a general air of stiff, weary
sloppiness
You would say that youth had left
such a body forever. You would think it
impossible that a woman of 40—even a
woman physically inferior and handicap
ped—could attain strength, grace, light
ness, and a beauty more attractive than
that of her girlhood.
Yet 1 know it is not only possible, but
altogether practicable. Nor is it so ter
ribly difficult. I know, because I have
done it myself. In the process of re
building my owik body. I discovered,
worked out and verified the physical sys
tem of the Ancient Greeks.
It is hardly too much to say that the
Greek system contains the secret of per
petual youth, mental no less than phy
sical.
1 am nearly 50 years old. Recently I
swam two miles without rest and with
little fatigue. 1 can walk all day. teach
all day, write all day. In the Yale swim
ming pool I did certain feats of balanced
diving i hat were impossible for *the skill
ful athletes of the university, in i». 1I >-
ing, turning somersaults, jumping from
moving trolley-cars or busses, throwing
the discus and climbing mountains, I am
a fit competitor for the best trained Am
erican college girls in their early twenties.
1 fully expect to be doing these things
when I am 60, 70 or 75.
It is natural to do them. What Is un
natural is the commonly found condition
of heaviness and stiffness. There is no
reason on earth why the woman of 40
should be less attractive than the wo
man of 30; there is every reason why
she should be infinitely more so. she
can make her body as youthful as a
girl’s, while retaining all her added charm
of experience and quiet serenity.
Body and mind are two chords in a
harmony. The fatigue caused by the va
cillating movements of an unbalanced,
unstrung body is intimately related to
mental uncertainty and indecision.
The modern person lacks a fundamental
principle that may be applied to every
sort of movement and occupation in life.
This is precisely what the Greeks pos
sessed. It made them the most wonderful
people in every way that the human race
has known.
So natural is this principle that, once
grasped by the mind and enforced by the
will, every movement becomes an exer
cise. Artificial exrciesing is needed only
at first.

very busy this morning?*' asked Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady
housekeeper for the rabbit gentleman.
“Oh. no, not very,” he answered. “As
soon as I have my auto washed I’ll go
anywhere you tell me.”
Uncle Wiggily was out in front of his
hollow stump bungalow, washing some
dust off his automobile with the garden
sprinkling can.
“Did you want me to go anywhere
special, or take you to the moving pic
tures?” he asked Nurse Jane, as he tin -
ished giving his machine a drink of gaso
line.
“No, l haven’t time to go to the.
movies,” the muskrat lady answered.
“This is baking day, and 1 wish you
would stop over at the home of Mrs.
Stubtail, the lady bear, and get some
pie plant.”
“Oh. my goodness!” laughed Uncle
Wiggily. “Has she a plant that grows
pies ,as you have a rubber plant that
grows umbrellas?”
‘No, indeed, silly rabbit!” spoke Nurse
Jane. “In her garden Mrs. Stubtail has
some pie plant, but baked pies do not
grow on it. Pie plant is only another
name for rhubarb. If you will b ing
some stalks of the rhubarb, or pie plant,
I’ll skin them, cut them up into little
shunks, cook them anil put them into a
pie, just as I would put in cm ri u s it
I had them.”
“Oh, my! Uherry pie!” cried Uncle
Wiggily, winking his eye. “How I love
it.*’
“Well, I think you will like rhubarb,
too, made from pie plant,” said Nurse
Jane. “Only let me tell you one th’ng
No matter how hungry you are, don’t
eat any of the pie plant stalks raw.
They must be cooked first.”
“Why shouldn’t 1 taste of the raw pie
.plant if I wish to?” asked Uncle Wiggily,
giving his pink nose a preliminary twin
kle, sort of argumentative like and ques
tioning.
“Well, just try it and you’ll soon
enough And out,” laughed Nurse Jane.
And then Mrs. Cluck-Cluck, the lien lady,
called to her over the back fence to
know the best way to keep ice cream
from melting when you put it in the
oven of the gas stove. So Nurse Jane
didn’t have any more time to talk to
Uncle Wiggily.
“Well, I’m going to taste the pie plant
before it is cooked, just to sw- what it’s

man as he hopped into his auto, gave the
turnip steering wheel a twist and start
ed off.
II did not take him long to get to
where Mrs. Stubtail, the lady b ar. lived
in a hi??, hollow log. Back of it was a
garden.
“flood morning, Mrs. Stubtail,” said
Uncle Wiggily, as he stopped his car out
in front. “How are my little friends
N«'cdle and Beekie this morning?”
“Very well, indeed, thank you,” an
swered their mother. “They have gone
to school. And how aVe you?”
“Fine!” answered Mr. Loti gears. "Fine!
Nurse Jane sent me over to get some
rhubarb pie plant, but she said particu
larly I wasn’t to eat any of it raw.”
”1 should say not!” laughed Mrs. Stub
tail. “Walt a minute and I’il cut you
some stalks.”
| She walked slowly down to the end
of the garden and soon came back with
her paws full of long, greenish red stalks
of the pie plant.
“There you are, Uncle Wiggily!” said
Mrs. Stubtail. “Take it to Nurse Jane
with my compliments.”
' Bui why can’t I eat any of it raw?”
asked the rabbit gentleman, curious-like.
“Oh. b cause, if you do,” began Mrs.
Stubtail, and just then her telephone
rang and she had to run in to answer it.
“Well .this is v«*ry queer,” thought
Mr. Longcars. “I’ll eat some of this
pie plant raw when I get back to my
bungalow. Then I’ll know the reason
why.”
He started back toward home In his
auto, but he had not gone very far be
fore, all of a sudden, out from behind
a big bush jumped the bad Pipsewah.
"Halt! Stop where you are!” cried tl|»-
Pip, standing in front of Uncle Wiggily’s
machine. “You got away from me yes
terday, because Jimmie, the duck, warn
ed you with red danger radishes. You
shan’t get away today. I am going to
take a lot of your souse. But first tell
me, what are those reddish-green stalks
on the seat beside you?”
“That is pie plant,” said Uncle Wig
gily, “but you are particularly not to eat
any of it raw.”
‘Nonsense! Pie plant! Not eat it raw!
Of course I shall if 1 like!’’ cried the
bad Pip. “Here, 111 eat some now and
fhen I’ll try your ear-souse!”
He reached over and grabbed a stalk
of the rhubaib pie plant. He took a
big bite and chew, and then, all of a
sudden his large mouth was all puckered
up until it was no larger than the head
of a pin, and the Pip cried:
i “Oh, wow! Oh. lemons! Oh vinegar!
Oh, sour grapes! The pie plant Is the
most puckery stuff 1 ever tasted. It has
made my mouth so small that I can’t
even bite the point off a lead pencil.”
"Ha! It serves you right!” cried Unde
Wiggily, as he hurried on in his auto.
“Now, I know why they didn’t want me
to eat any pie plant raw—lt is too sour!”
And that is the reason. Nurse Jane
put plenty of sugar iti the pie plant when
she cooked It, so It was all right, and
the pies were lovely, Mr. Ixmgoars said.
And if the eggplant doesn’t go swim
ming in the watermelon, and get the rag
doll’s bathing suit all wet. I’ll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the black
berries.

Now. do you remember the story 1 told
you about the Thuiulerbircl and how he
makes the thunder storms when he fights
with the Rattlesnake? Well, one time
he had the most terrible fight with him.
It was awful.
Thunderbird got so mad In that light
that he opened and shut his eyes faster
than ever before.
That made so much fire blaze out of
them that i.t came clear down to the

Some of it went into a hollow tree at
the top, and .ran clear down to the roots
of it, and stayed there.
That was the first lire that'was ever

lit on the ground at the root of the tree.
He saw something through aa hole in
Jthe tree and he poked his head through
the hole to get a good look at it, but lie
didn’t let his head stay in there very
long.
Then he flew back to the council and
told the animal people that he thought
tin* thing wasn't good for anything.
Pretty soon they all noticed that the
fire had burnt all of the feathers off of
his head.
That is the reason that the Buzzard’s
head is bare.
Then they sent the Owl to fetch the
news about the tiling with the black
breath that took feathers off.

The wind had blown the ashes into Ills
face and eyes, had made the white rings
which he can ever rub off, an* his eyes
are red yet.
All of this made the animal people be
lieve that lire is a bad Thing; and they
are afraid of it yet.
After awhile a Man saw the black
breath coming out of the tree-top and lie,
too. was afraid of it. for ho knew what
it had done to the animal people. The
Man stood uwa\ off from it for a while,
then he crept closer and closer.
Pretty soon it made him feel good and
wain, tor he, had been feeling chilly.
But when lie put out Ills hand and
touched the fire h»- drew it hack quickly.
For it had burnt one of his fingers.
Then he went; up and threw a slick
at It just to see what tin* Fire would do.
In a little while the fire ate rrp the

That made the Man think that maybe
