Exercise For Business Men.

The average city business man with
out physical impediments to fight
against can probably get along success
fully on such an exercise schedule as
the following:
FirSt.-Eive minutes each day of
purely muscular exercise, such as can
be taken perfectly we'll in ones room
without any special apparatus.
Second.-Short intervals during the
day of fresh air, brisk walking, deep
brea thing. This can all be secured In
the regular order of the days business.
A man can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out of doors
every day. This is for heart, lungs
and digestion.
Third-The reservation of at least
one day a week for rest and recreation,
for being out of doors, for playing
games. etc. This is essential. This is
for both body and mind. A man who
thinks he can get along without at
least one vacation time a week simply
proves his ignorance.-World's Work.
