CONTINUING~ ‘THE LEG
BEAUTIFUL’ SERIES
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Continuing the ' Leg Beautiful” series, today's article gives a routta*
for beautifying and correcting bow legs and knock-knee*. Then. too. I
promised to repeat the formulas for making the reducing lotion and de
veloping. or nourishing, cream.
The following exercise has been used In mili
tary training camps for a number of years and has
been approved by doctors and scientists as ooe of the
few real exercises to help overcome a bow-legged
condition. Such a condition can be corrected In
childhood by the wearing of braces and like scien
tific aids. However, after one reaches maturity, this
condition is not so easily corrected, as the bone
structure ha* beccme more solid and give way 1ms
easily than during the formative years.
Stand erect with the torso drawn to its full
height, the head up and the arms hanging relaxed
at the side*. The heels should be about an inch
apart with the toes pointing outward at an angle.
Without moving the feet, tense the muscles of tc*
legs and thighs and slowly push the knee* as dost
together as you can. You won t make much- pragma
JOSEPHINE at first, but keep ct the exercise, tensing tha
HUDDLESTON muscles, pushing the knees together, then relaxing.
until you have reoeated the routine twenty times.
Rest for a few minutes, then go through the exercise again.
Cultivate a habit of doing this exercise whenever and wherever pos
sible. It can be done in the kitchen while cooking dinner or while stand
ing waiting for a car.
The exercise for correcting knocks
knees is practically the -ame except
that the knees are pushed outward
instead cf brought together. The
length of time to correct this condi
tion is the same as correcting bow
legs.
This i3 not a rapid-fire method
for correcting either condition but it
is by far the best and surest. It
may take a year to straighten the
legs a quarter of an inch—but even
this small bit makes a vast improve
ment in one's appearance.
Remember, too. that nothing In
the the world will improve the con
dition unless you faithfully try to
help yourself. Less time is required
for straightening the legs of younger
people than after a persop has de
veloped fully.
There is a much higher average
formed an outing party going to
Roma and Mter. Mexico. Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs L. B Ewing aud
father. Dr. Ewing. Masses Peggy Ew
ing and Laura Schmoked. Dr. C. G.
Delfs and Wayne Dale were a party
spending Sunday at Boca Chica.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Gober. Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Jones, and Mr. and
Mrs. V. R. Brady spent Sunday aft
ernoon at Boca Chica.
*-—...
of bow-legged men than women,
while the percentage of knock-ltneea
is reversed and to some degree most
women s knees are inclined to ha
knocked rather than bowed
The reducing lotion is made by
dissolving two finely shaved squares
of camphor in one quart of rubbing
alcohol. Allow it to stand for 94
hours, at which time it is ready to
use. To use. just pat the liquid on
the parts of the tegs to be reduced,
letting it dry naturally. Several ap
plications may be used daily, then
followed with previously suggested
exercises.
The developing or nourishing
cream is made by mixing equal parts
lanolin, cocoa butter and mineral
oil. Melt the lanolin and cocoa but
ter before measuring. The mineral
oil also should be wanned. Then,
using an egg beater, beat all three
j ingredients together until a creamy
consistency results. This cream
should be used generously over tha
parts of the legs to be developed.
A liberal amount allowed to remain
on overnight will hasten the devel
oping process.
