NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The most noticeable increase in the measurements have been in height, girth of in flatted chest and girth of head.

His gains have been: In height, 1 1-2 in.; chest, 2 in.; calf, 1 in.; 'biceps, 1 1-2 in.; forearm, 34 in.; breadth of shoulders, 1 1-4 in; and in the capacity of lungs, 40 cubic in. Three men have given up the use of tobacco during the year, but many have taken up the habit, making the smokers 5 per cent in excess of what they were last year.
