WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-The decision of

day, refusing to compel witnesses cited

Physical Culture and Long Life.

Phystcaj culture anu Long Luc'
According to leading medical jour
nal. out of 5000 soldiers who were ex-
amined recently by a surgeon nearly ~
per cent. were found to be suffering
from heart trouble as the result OF forced
exertion. This leads that journal to the
conclusion that athletic sports are not
conducive to longevity, and it points as
a proof to France. where there is no
craze for muscular development. and
where one finds more people over the
age of sixty than in England, with ITS
rage for physical culture. 1t would
seem. however. that the distinguished
editor of the journal in question con-
founded the rage for display athletics
with that for general physical develop
ment.
1t has been long noted in the gymna-
Sums that those who train the most per
sistently give out the quickest. The
cause of it is that they develop the mus
cles at the expense Of the nervous
strength. But there is a moderation in
both which means better health and
longer life. and to the majority of those
who enter gymnasium work that is what
is sought rather than record breaking
capabilities. Boston Journal.
