Enjoy Health By
Playing Billiards

PLAY billiards." says Lord Lonsdale. "H you
would enjoy good health and there is no such
thing as indigestion for him who follows up
hearty dinner with half an hour with the cue
and worries"
And all this is not hard to understand. The
digestive processes of the body at their best
during, a neriod Of comparative relaxation and
light exercise. No other diversion is con
dusiTe to such a state a game Of billiards
This Is why the billiard room in the home Of
the Englishman always adjOins the dining room
Billiards q recreation therefore becomes part
Of the meal.
It would appear that Americans have awakened
to this fact, for before in the history Of
this country has there been an interest in this
game as has been shown at the present tune.
The hOne today Of the American Of fair means
has a beautifully equipped billiard room in which
gather to attend the billiard receptions that have
become very popular owing to the most prominent
physicians advising their patients to play BILLIARDS.
The game exercises the train as well as every
muscle Of the bNdy thereby offering . pleasant
pastims With the proper amount OF exercise for
those that insist eating meats three times
day at the same time oyerndulgence OF hch
foods that require light exercise for their proper
digestion. The spirit Of the times in all things
The Washington herald., 1915-01-02

is for health and a proper care Of the body is
ones hnst consideration.
Strange as it may seem the public billiard parlor
Of the twentieth century is eliminating the bar and
all wagzrs on the result Of the game Is frOwned
upon by the room keeper.
Twenty years ago a billiard table in Y NJ c.
A. building would have been a sacrilege. Today
Y. NJ. c. A. is complete without its billiard
room. The green cloth table is now a welcome
addition to the best regulated home and even the
church clubs are incomplete when the pocket bIF-
lard apparatus is wanting.
The strenuous life of the American especially
demands relaxation. The less strenuous forms Of
exercise are preferable. There Is cause to seek
for a further for the large increase in the
interest shown in this country in the cue game
Aside from the physical benefits there is a mental
training in billiard game which is remarkable. II
Is a question of angles and curves. There Is no
better training for the mathematical student Of
geometry. Not long ago a prominent professor Of
an Eastern university advised all Of his students
in mathematics TO play billiards. Out OF class
Of ninety twenty failed 10 pass their eHAminAtons
Among thOss who failed nineteen declined to take
the advice Of the instructor.

with them fifty-three officers and
