RUNNING EXERCISE.
Said to BE the Best Means of Making
the Heart Strong.

the Heart Strong.
The kind Of exercise one should take
for his hearts sake is extremely i'm
portant. Exercise, to affect the heart
sufficiently, must be vigorous, though
not too vigorous. Ordinary walking,
while healthful, falls short of this re-
quirement. That calisthenics and light
exercises generally are also deficient
in this respect is proved by the fact
that, while all humankind naturally in
dulge in light exercises, yet heart all
ments are prevalent among them.
Every one that is not bedridden walks
more or less. and | have read learned
articles which try to prove that walk
ing is the only exercise man requires.
But if man never runs he could not,
if he would, run fairly fast even half
a mile. So the argument is in effect
that man need not be able to run.
I cannot agree with this conclusion,
heart action only slightly.
Running, of all exercises for the
heart, is. | think. the best. OF course
one who has weak heart cannot i'm
mediately run either fast or far, nor is
it necessary for the average individual
to learn to run great distances at i
high speed, but every one owes it to
his health to be able to run without
distress. say half a mile at a fair pace.
Let him begin by jogging one-eighth
or one-quarter of a mile, then half Il
mile. which distance he may ultimate
~ run reasonably fast.-G. Elliot Flint
