\ feature OF cycle riding that has never
been freely commented upon is the en-
ergy that may he derived from wheeling,
remarks an exchange. Long ago, 1t "
some time now since the high wheel passed
out OF vogue, the ranks OF the wheelmen
Were small, and those who did dare to risk
their precious necks on the big steed found
the exercise more painful than otherwise.
as it REQUIRED some effort and j strong pair
OF limbs to push the ordinary wheel to the
top of a hill. But with the advent OF the
safety came a theory, advanced by physi-
clans and men in other callings, who could
view the results, that wheeling was bene-
fetal To the health.
Skeptics argued that the exercise was far
beyond what the system could endure.
This idea died an ignominious death. Strong
aud healthy American girls and boys are
FLYING along To health and happiness In
direct rcpudiation of the tmc-worn theory.
Here is the thing in "A nutshell. The man
who goes day in and day out without some
form Of exercise that stirs the blood finds
himself in Il condition where the least eXer-
ton brings an ailment for which the family
doctor must prescribe.
