Not Use Tobacco or

Arthur Duffey. the worlds champion
uprinter, has been giving some good
advice to schoolboys who want to De

them, They are finding new incentives
to bracing and vigorous activity, ana
coupled with II, the foundation princi-
ples OF health. For example. they Will
listen with respectful attention to the
advice OF Mr.. Duffey, when observance
means winning races. and VIII paste IN
their hats such wise counsel as this:
LET the diet be plain. Dispense with
pastries. candies. and, above all, never
smoke tobacco or drink alcohohc
LIQUORS when in training. You Will be
better without the latter two at all
times. Cigarettes are fatal to athletes.
Bathe daily. and always use rough
towels after q bath, and after taking
your exercise. Never overtax yourself
nor exhaust all your strength in any
trial. Always finish your training with
something left In you. Only work the
hardest in the race itself. Fin
ally let me impress on all aspiring
athletes the fact that rigidness OF pur-
pose In training. and steady persever-
ance are as essential as the bulldog &C.
termination necessary to land you a
winner at the tape"
