PAGE 6 Any Goal Is Yours a slave to health rules of the National Ca Samuel Crowther, tells His biograp! about it Patterson’s health broke down from ov strain when he was 60. He had always been a deterr fighter, always gone after things hammer-and-ton That's how he we er new health. Patterson was an admirer of Cornaro, the Italian, who believed that most people dig the graves with their teeth, and who fasted scientifically, living to well over 100 | aft years, So Patterson started by fasting days, taking only a few sips of water a day. The fast made him feel so much better that he went on a scientific vegetarian diet, chiefly |, baked potatoes and toasted crusts. t Full of enthusiasm, Patterson went to London and hired the strong man, $ andow, to train him. | For months Sandow worked with Pattersqn as if training | a prizefighter. He made him ride 25 miles a day on horse- back. Most of his other time was strenuously used in the | gymnasium. A special trainer rubbed him down numerous times each day At the end of a year Patterson returned to his Dayton business “a new man.” He employed a staff of doctors to watch him. They hovered nearby constantly—weighing him, testing his blood pressure, listening to his heart, charting his temperature. Food for his meals was weighed ‘on delicate scales. Patterson took five baths and rubdowns a day, a special doctor watching the temperature of his bath. Every 30 minutes, a valet brought him a glass of hot distilled water. He rose at 4 every morning, took a horseback ride, had ‘bath and breakfast. Then to work for an hour, next a bath and rubdown and into bed for an hour in a special room at his factory. This program was repeated thru the day, The result? Well, Patterson lived 18 years after his | ‘breakdown at 60, and was vigorous and happy to the end. | Patterson's experience demonstrates that man can reach almost any goal if he is willing to work hard enough to de- Many will wonder if his 18 years of good health was worth the price he paid for it, financially and in time ex- pended. Was the game worth the candle? It certainly was, for he enjoyed the whole process. He was a happy slave. All of us are slaves to some one or some system, job or hobby. As long as we enjoy it, why not? A Fine Thing to Do HE president has written to a baseball pitcher a letter } commendatory of his fine work. Why not? Facts is, there's too little honoring of the fellows who contribute to the enjoyment of the millions in the field of decent sports. High and honorable recognition is given the extraordinary successful in science, diseorvery, | invention and literature—and even in one-piece beauty contests. Why not something for the fellows who stand | high in a vocation in which the whole people are interest- | ed day by day—the great national game? Mr. Walter Johnson, pitcher, should consider his com- .| mendatory letter from the president of the United States | as a decoration for good service rendered the country. } | | The Blush of 80 Years HEY opened the Mark Twain Memorial park at Florida, Mo., a few days ago, and many old-timers Were present who “knew Sam Clemens when,” etc. | Reminisced? Of course they did. “That Clemens boy” certainly made his mark in the community of that early day, and some of it was dark but most of it was white—all of it was humorous. Anne Levering Bower, aged 83, went to school with Sam and moved in the circle that knew him best. “Sam,” said Mrs. Bower, “had one habit the girls used to talk about.” She paused and her eyes drooped in confusion before her auditor, and pink of the natural kind colored her aged cheeks. Then she brightened bravely and continued: “I guess it's all right, for I'm thinking\you are married and will understand. Sam,” she continued still with some con- fusion, “Sam used to have a habit of pulling up his— i is socks when he was with a girl. He didn’t wear any supporters, I guess.” More blushes and a long sigh of relief because she had | finally relieved her gentle old chest of the scandalous | doings of Sam, who brazenly adjusted his hose in the horrified presence of the young ladies! -This is 1924. We of the time know and have seen legs of all kinds, colors, shapes and lengths, clothed and un- clothed. They are on parade anywhere and everywhere. ‘They mean but little in our blase existence, excite little attention or interest. _. But Anne Levering Bower, at 83, can still blush con- fusedly as she recalls that Sam Clemens, some 70 years #g0, pulled up his socks in the presence of a lady! We have gone far in one direction or another—so far, that our octogenarians seems to be about the only ones among us that have not forgotten how to blush. Unseen Perils | HE trouble isn’t so much that we have too many laws, ; but that too much time is wasted enforcing the wrong ones. Here’s a case. Seattle, and every other community has an ordinance against spitting on sidewalks, in street cars and other public places. Few local regulations are More important, yet how often is the expectorater ar- rested? If you can think of anything that should be safeguarded more than the public’s health, trot it forth. The victim of the most terrible contagious diseases can spit all over the walk without much danger of arrest. But just let him get caught buying a flask of whisky or violating parking rules. i No Need to Worry ate wasp-waist is returning to torture women, corset makers claim. Already the wasp-waist is appearing here and there in Europe. They predicted the same thing about hoop skirts, Bobbed hair has been doomed times over. High French heels have started our way again innumerable times, and never arrived. American women no longer ape crazy fash- ions willingly. as we app: sk TAR OOS| Vi LT Questions ¢ Answered * | JAR RIC! toe e good fortune comes t t sevelt and| | r h work to b hilar be D's , Ae en would n pre g the skins of the ices the sof A F NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY wou be third s to each © wonderful array of ae ns and skins - * 2 sun near the tents f ] YOU can get an answer toany convincing festimor 1} question of fact or informa tid energy and tien by The Question nt] Roosevelt | Katt ew York ave, There were lions | Washing and enclosing | hinocert, giraffe, cheetah, a leopard | two oe buff ni ral | ply ‘ wa } advice. . | | dential “a | | signed had shot when it wa ® ing at him angrt vast Q How ta the v Italian” p titles of bi ved | nounced? you fellows!’ he called, ached.
