Too many of us, quick to adopt every fresh convenience, forget that the most precious possession of all, HEALTH, is endangered by the soften- ing luxuries of present-day civilization, It is the usual thing, especially in our larger cities, for us to climb aboard a stuffy, ill-ventilated street car and ride to business; sometimes only a mat- ter of a dozen blocks. Walk to your work. Fill your lungs with clean, fresh air; throw off the lethargy of the night’s sleep; brace your shoulders AND WALK! This business of riding every distance covered by a few city blocks is a custom that belongs in the class of French cookery, hermetically-sealed bed ambers, and such. Don't coddle yourself!
