William Howard Taft was not the enly American who ate his way into the hearts of his countrymen. In this enjoyable pastime he Was pri ed by probably half a score of Presi- dents, while bis renowned successor also is said to be somewhat a rival along the eame line, especially when it comes to mince pic. George Washington was first to take up the delightful task. He was followed by John Quincy Adams, ‘who, it is reported, was “rapaciously fond of the homely pumpkin pie;" by James Monroe, whose favorite pie Was the luscious cherry; by Polk, William Henry Harrison and otber White Howse occupants.

The six defects mentioned were the most frequent causes of rejection in the draft of young men between twenty-one and thirty-one. “Exercise is another extremely im- portant factor in keeping a young man young, In schoo! and college he is likely to have exercise but it may not be the right sort, The athletic champion in college may overstrain his heart and harden his arterial walls—thus making himself old before his time. he ideal exercise for a young man is that which gives him a barmonious physical development, not an over- development of one set of muscles. Let him play tennis, baseball, hockey let him row, swim and race, but 1 him do all these things not with the idea of perfecting himself in one special ‘stunt’, or of breaking a record, but of making beautiful, strong young body, like the body of a Greek athlete. College sports should be ar ranged for the participation of all the men, rather than for the intensive training of a few while the others grow round-shouldered crouching ou benches and looking on. “after a man gets out of college or high school he should not stop exer- cising altogether, as so many of our young men are inclined to do. Per- haps his occupation will be sedentary, put in that case let him join a tennis club, or take long walks or go into a gymnasium or, at the least, do set- ting-up exercises in his own room. Some form of vigorous physical work he must keep up, if he wishes to keep young. Man was formerly a running around animal, not a sitting around animal. “The reason for the tired feeling and careworn look of young men un- der thirty is often that they are un- der-nourished. ‘This is the table of standard weights for young men be- tween fifteen and t y, according to their height. “pefore thirty a man needs more nourishment than after, and he should make a point of getting it or he will have a lack of resistance to Let as , weak can by a This is the first of a series of three interviews with, yman Fisk, director of hygiene of the Life itute, No. 24 We will be mapped scientifically and accurately the won- derful road sought in vain by old Ponce strong,” Dr. Fisk began with a smile, In all seriousness, while youth and vigor depend on early years, is developed by them, he should choose to be born of a strong, hea First of a Series of Three Interviews With Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk of the Life Extension Institute, on “How to Keep Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1919, by the Press Publishing Co.
