1t is the duty of every person to be
able to overcome reasonable physical
obstacles. One need not train to beat
a hishwayman, or get a cop. But one
should be able to have sufficient physi-
cal response to overcome a certain class
of possible disasters.
In case of fire, a runaway, a flood, an
impending street car wreck, or any of
many other divisions of accidents that
really advertise their coming. a man
should be able to call on his physical
powers and get response-and beat 1t
while the beating's good

in favor of this fine physical trim. In
case of sickness the pOdgy, inert person
has so much of his own pollution on
hand he cannot combat disease properly.
Hence the beautiful buildings being
erected by our very best undertakers.
1t Is not necessary to hold cham

are plenty more. When a left-hander'
