VALUE OF OUTDOOR SPORTS
Americans Are Athletic and No
Longer Nation Of Dys-
peptics.

Not so very long ago we were nation
Of dyspeptics, cartooned as pie-eaters,
boilers of food, lovers Of indoor life in
superheated rooms in winter-our men
as a rule deyoid Of adequate muscle and
healthy digestion, our women physical
ly frail specimens Of dollhouse beauty
at 20, who speedily collapsed when one
of the bedrooms became a nursery. A
great change has been worked in the
last decade or so, says writer in the
New York Herald. Nowadays almost
Everybody and his nelghbor" 90 in for
outdoor sports and the result is the bet
tered health Of the people, women as
well as men, is apparent on every side
and rejoiced in by every one except the
family doctor and the drug compounder
1t the corner.
True, there are still some of the typ
ical Americans of our grandfathers' /,
even our fathers days-men who tum-
ole out of bed, excitedly swallow their
breakfasts in few gulps, rush on a
mad gallop for the street car as though
time, tide and business wait for no man s
digestion-and on reaching their office
Idly dawdle away an hour that might
have been passed in slowly considered
morning meal and little healthy ex-
ercise in walk to business. But these
men have, happily, decreased in num-
ber and the average business man Of
the present has learned so we'll the
value of muscular exercise that to-day
In New York business mems training
and exercise rooms have been success
fully established In the heart of the
financial and commercial districts. Isn't
that "sign of the times" athletically?
In every part of the country the love
of outdoor sports is increasing MARVEL
ously among the women as we'll as the
men. The Miss Flora McFlimsey, Of
Madison square, can do something now
adays besides waltz, and instead of cod.
ding herself close to the fire In winter
there is not an outdoor game under the
sun Of summer or in the days Of Jack
Frost that she does not play, and play
well.
AS for the men, they have become
such adopts of all-around sport that they
have wrested what Is admitted to be
the worlds amateur single-scull rowing
championship, the diamond SOULS, from
England; given the best field athletes
Of Great Britain beating; made Scot
land and incidentally the United King
dom weep over the loss of honors in
Scotty's own particular game, golf. AS
for rifle and pistol shooting, they hold
worlds honors; on the turf their horses
have won the Derby and the Grand Prix,
while in yachting-well, everybody
knows that story.
All this is of vast benefit to the coun.
try at large, for 1t is constantly draw
Ing the people out into the open air for
their amusements, and the physical i'm
provement observable in the present
rising generation will be further en-
phasized in the one Of the near future.
