PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
THE FIFTH ESTATE
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

Various writers and philosophers have
mapped out what they call the -four
estates of man. l presume many others
have outlined fifth estate. but for al
that 1 am going to submit one of my
own.
Let US call this the estate or condition
of suppleness-in which one persistently
feels the physical joys of living.
To the physically fit no labor is dis
tasteful and no physical task becomes
an imposition. Ii is ony when one Is
practically dragged out and weary when
one feels that there is little I'm life that
compensates for the struggle for achieve
ment and success.
This fifth estate of mine is easily
within the reach of ninety-nne out or
every one hundred persons.
1t calls for daily attention to exercise.
baths. ventilation and cleanliness al
most to the point of devotion. When
one has achieved this condition of sup
p,eness then all the deterrent influences
become abhOrrent.
Some of the rewards of this fifth es-

schumacher. manager OF the Warren
team. Later, when he booked two
games with the Meadville Intercol-
legiates. he telephoned TO Bedient:
Il have two games for today. but
only one pitcher. I'll give you 81 and
expenses to come and pitch the after
noon game"
No. was the answer. but make IL
s1.50 and I'll CO." That was the first
game Bedient ever pitched for money,
and he won, Later he broke the
record for strike-outs. pitching a game
OF twenty-five innings at Cory In
which twenty-four batters were struck
out.

poison. ability to stand greater
fatigue with smaller reaction. the right
amount of sleep. practical immunity
from bodily pain and a clear mind that
takes logical view of life and its af

Let us see what the attainment OF
this condition means. suppose one were
to devote total of thirty minutes daily
to exercise. This could be divided into
fifteen minutes of some systematic eX-
ercise. such as dumbbells of small weight.

One ordinarily consumes at least ; per

generally IL per cent OF the day in

For the small cost and the time con-
sidered this observance TO physical fit

day evening, but because of the holi-
days, the different committees found
little time to devote to the work, and
for this reason another week was Civ
en- them. The silver cup, to go to the

Der OF members, is creating a great
deal of interest and Saturday is ex-
pected to be day on which the COM
mercial club will be the principal top

working hard, and by Saturday night
expect to have the allotted number of
members signed up.
