Copyright, 1918, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Lvenivg World.) OMEN suffer physically more than men. Why?» For three reasons—because they worry more, because of their clothes, because they exercise less.” In one swift, incisive paragraph Dr. Charles E. Barker, efficiency ex- pert on health, summed up the health problem for American women, Dr. Barker, who has acted as health adviser for former President Taft, Frank A. Vanderlip, Henry P. Davison and other distinguished Americans, has been conducting a “Health and Happiness” week at the Centrat Y. M. C. A., No. 55 Hanson Place, Brooklyn. But he is as much interested in the physical fitness of women as of men, and for years he has been preach- ing for the former a health gospel which if followed would make “the weaker sex” triumph over that rather humiliating designation. “Just as every man has the power to decide for himself whether he will be young at sixty or old at forty, so every woman can choose whether she will be healthy and vigorous or weak and ailiyg,” Dr. Barker assured me. “Her physical fitness or untitness depends, in large measure, upon the rule of life which she follows.” Then he summarized the three chief ca women. “Why,” I inquired at once, | “do, women worry more than men? Because there usually are men about whom they must worry?” Smilingly he shook his head far as I can judge from my. observa tions,” he said, “women are bigger | worriers than men because the work | of women is less definite than that) of men.
