sums of money in Strengthening our
forts and our navy" declares Presi-
dent RittenlGu1e, "but what of the
men who would make up the first
American army of 100000, which
General Wotherspoon has recon-
mended in his report to the Secretary
of War? What kind of soldiers
would he get if the army were to be
raised now?
Il am quoting no less an authority
than DR.. Frank R. Keefer, Professor
of Military Hygiene at West Point
and Lieutenant-Co Colonel of the Medi-
cal Corps, when 1 call attention the
fact that to-day the number of men
rejected for one reason or another,
but chiefly on account of physical de-
hclenc1eS greatly exceeds those &C
cepted. 1t has been estimated that
but one out of six is finally retained
If this be true, for his 100000 men
General Wotherspoon would have to
physically examine 100000 men
and reject 100000. AS a matter
of fact, he would have to lower the
standard in order to enlist a large
army
"Of course war is folly. There is
no phrase in the English language
strong enough to express the alb
surdity of killing the strongest men
of the nation in order to settle &
dispute, but until war is abolished, we
must be prepared to successfully meet
it.
Patriotism alone, then, it seems

would demand that we pay heed at
once to these facts just published by
DR.. Keefer. Still more important are
the following signs which seem to
indicate an apparent decline in the
vitality of the American people:
"Is it of no importance the ma
ton that the diseases of degeneration,
such as those of the heart, arteries
and kidneys, have increased 10 per
cent. during the last census period
90 years.?
"Is it Of no concern to the Ameri-
can nation that these diseases, as in
dictated by the mortality rate in Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey and 16 Ameri-
can cities have apparently increased
nearly 100 per cent. since 1880?
rs it not worthy of notice that
these diseases, indicating the break
ing down of the most important hard
worked organs of the body are reach
ing down and increasing in the young
er age period?
Il am in no sense a pessimist or
an alarmist, nor are those with whom
l am associated in the Life Extension
Institute. We realize that a very
large portion Of the sickness and NOR
tally from these chronic diseases
could be prevented or postponed, as
we'll as those from acute diseases.
The National Health Guard is or
ganized to aid in this field. This is
a patriotic organization, no fees. or
dues being required. 1t is designed
to assist in stimulating the interest
Of the individual in the conservation
of his health and life, and also to

guarding national vitality, the most
precious asset of the nation"
