Hcw to Keep Healthy
By ANNETTE: I<ELLERMAN The Modern Ianna

| One of the most significant move. ments in recent years is that which i. bringing more and more to the atten- lion of the people of the world the Value-the importance-V keeping well and healthy.
 The old proverb says: "Cleanliness Is 1 next to Godliness say: Health is next to Godliness' For health is the greatest single as set you can have in this world With out health, riches. beauty, fame love are nothing
 You think I rate health too high ?
 Then why are the great insurance companies writing policies of health insurance?
 Why are the great corporations pay Ing large salaries to experts who can protect the health of their working men?
 Why are large cities spending mil hcns of dollars to maintain costly play grounds for children and grownupsp
 Because of the importance of health I l know whereof I speak, because I was not always healthy. If I am fa- nous today for my physical develop ment and for my prowess and skill as a swimmer, it is not because I was endowed with these attributes at birth.
 On the contrary. When | was born in Australia I was the frailest and
 
 mad no hopes of raising me to girl hood In fact, on the day I was born was so tiny and puny that my father placed my little body in an ordinary tin quart pot and there was still room to spare.
 But. luckily for ma, my parents be- heved in the open air. They were Aus tralians, and in Australia life in the open is the rule and not the excep- tion.
 The wonderful open country and it's health-g1ving air began to have it's er- feet. l grew stronger and more lusty. and gradually my parents fears died down.
 And right there. v those days when was child, was born my love for the open air, for exercise and my longing | for health.
 During my life have tried many | forms of exercise. Not one of them--no 1 natter how intricate and costly-is as | beneficial and as heaHhful as swim ng.
