On a count of "One, two, three, four" the body is straightened, reaching an upright position, with arms vertically extended, at "Three." At "Four" the arms are lowered to a "Cross" position, but with palms up and arms and shoulders forced hard back. Very slow counting is essential to the correct execution of this exercise. All air should be forced from the lungs as the body bends forward to the "Wing" position, and they should be filled to capacity as the body is straightened and the arms brought down. Inhale through the nose. The entire movement should be repeated five times. HEALTH MAXIMS Preparedness is nine-tenths physical strength and endurance. If you take more food than the digestion can handle, you not only tire the stomach, but the whole system. Envy, jealousy, and wrath will ruin any digestion. You'll never get the gout from walking. Tennis up to the thirties, but golf after forty. Tight shoes have sent many a man to bed with a cold. Leg weariness never yet produced brain fag. Whenever you walk, stand up, with chin in, hips back, and chest out, and think how tall you are. Courage and concentration will conquer most obstacles. The hurry of half a squad never brought the whole troop home. The army must have sound lungs and a good stomach quite as much as arms and ammunition.
