Exercising.
youths Companion)

In adopting rules for preserving Your
health. you should remember that no
matter how good thing may be, it is
quite possible to have too much of it.
The rules holds good of almost every
thing except fresh air; it is hard in
deed to get too much of that, although
perhaps you will do we'll not to live
where high winds prevail. But the
case of muscular exercise is different
Although some kind of exercise is nee
essary to health, it is impossible to
lay down general laws in regard to it:
the form must be modified for each in
dlvidual. Age, sex, strength. appetite.
digestion, mode of life, and a dozen
other Considerations. all enter into the
question. The amount of exercise re-
quired to keep one person in good con-
dition would quickly exhaust, and
might possibly kill another.
Most persons who wish to be strong
and we'll. and who have no desire TO
compete in athletics, should aim at
system rather than at developine
muscle. That is especially important
Tor those who have passed the age for
athletic sports and whose work does
not demand unusual muscular power.
AS general rule. it is better to exe-
else outdoors than indoors
Young and growing people need
muscular exercise in order to devotion
properly: they need it for the skele-
ton within them. and if they DO not
get it, their growth will be stunted
Usually, in the case of healthy child
who. whether indoors or outdoors. is
rarely still, the matter Of exercise can
De lett to take care of itself. A young.
growing child who prefers sitting
quietly in the house to playing out
doors is not quite normal. and al
though he may live to old age will
never be SO strong as his fellows.
Some forms of exercise are quite as
valuable for the nervous as for the
muscular system: in exercises that
call for skill and balance, such as bill.
