Bvening World 1 Company O matter how smurt or capable N a boy may be, be hus no guar antee of success in life unless he has good health. Once in a while 4 cripple, perhaps a boy who could not walk, or who may have been stricken with blindness, hay had wonc.. ful career in spite of his phy sical handicap. But c you can see how much better chance he would have had in the battle of life if ne had had vigorous health in addition to his alert brain Occasionally 1 attend meetings in New York City of the Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants’ Associa ion, the bankers, the lawyers, an the doctors. Because l.am a phy clan, and interested in’ good health, my attention has been attracted the kind of bodies these and what appearance of have. It has been a frequent comment ot Mine that the successful men of this city are almost invariably stkong, vig- to men posse: health they orous; robust and red-blooded. It is rare to find one who is pale, sallow, white-lipped, emaciated and giving every evidence of poor health. Tam sure it is a conservative statement to say that 90 per cent. of the prominent business and professional men of New York City are strong and healthy men. Wrequentiy 1 talk with successful business men to find what manner of lives they lead. It 1s exceedingly rare to find one who doesn't have some favorite method of taking phys cal exercise. Some may play golf, others wet up early in the morning and go horsetsck riding. A few play tennis, Many of them patronize the squash courts and handball courts. It is probable that the majority of them Make use of some system of calis- thenics or some method of exercising which can be taken in the bedroom or in the home. Before I speak about exercise as a means of increasing the physical vigor and chance of long life I want to say « word to the high school boys about the purpose of exercise. Why is it necessary to exercise The purpose of exercise is to stimu- fate the heart action, so that the blood ts sent in for: stream to every purt of the body: At the same time, when one group of muscles i being used nature requires mor blood to supply that particular part of the body, and the forcefully actin: heart specds the blond through those vessels, cleansing them of all im- purities. At the same time the blood coursing through the brain, washes it clean, just as soap und water will wash the surface of the body, After & period of fifteen or twenty minutes, given to any chosen method of exer cising, the body increased ciroulat clear and the thou purified and cl more effective brain work 3 in a glow from the brain ts on, the Pretty soon I am soir speak about some of these exerc but Je me say something about n they should be taken, and your surround- In, at the time of taking them It does you no good to exercise ina stale atmosphere, the air impregnated with the poisons of overbreathing and contaminated with dust or to- bacco smoke.
