HEALTH HINTS

The number Of men rejected for
physical reasons when examined for
the Pew national army is surprisingly
high when it is considered that men
of draft age ought TO be at the height
OF their vigor.
The number OF reflections, however,
indicates that the public must be made
to realize that not only are the com
municable diseases preventaOle but
also that the degenerative diseases OF
adult life can be prevented or indefl-
n!tely postponed by proper diet and
life.
Much already has been done among
the rejected men by calling their atten-
lion to their physical disabilities.
The great value of a complete annual
physical examination OF every person
should be impressed not only upon
these Young men, but upon the whole
POPULATION. Not only should the sol
3iers, bat everyone. be impressed WITH
the influence OF adequate daily e&ef-
else, regular hours and habits and
proper food. combined with strict mil
itary discipline, in vastly improving
the general health and physique
All must learn that the body cannot
be exposed to continuous strain and
abuse without ultimately showing
serious effects.
The Draft is having a far-:eachinS
effect upon public health II has
turned attention to the need Of lnten-
siye work to relieve Tie physical DIS
abilities and to prevent the deGenera-
tive Influences OF our modern rush
and worry life.
