The relative awkWardnesS of the Ger
man boy trained mostly in gymnasi-
ums is apparent when compared with
the English lad who was trained in
athletics. And note the graceful move
ments of a group of young people en-
gagged in skating or swimming. :
Physical development is dependent
on exercise, for by exercise more blood
is directed to the part, in action, the

cells increase in size and firmness, and
the elimination of waste material, is
stimulated The final result of all
these processes is to. cause the heart
to beat more rapidly with general in
crease in circulation of the blood and
promotion of digestion.
Golf. which is growing very rapidly
in popularity, is suitable for both men
and women of all ages, and altho not
necessarily strenuous is sufficient for
maintenance of good health. Its pop
ularity can be noted when we learn
that there are now around $4,000
courses in the United States. The
time is rapidly approaching when
nearly all towns of 1000 to 5000 pop
ulation will have their golf courses.
TOO many adults are allowing work
or amusements to crowd out athletic
recreation. Here is where, the ply
stefan should step in and prescribe the
proper recreation for his patients, and
encourage Fairgrounds, not only for
children but grown-ups as well The
dividends in improved health are well
worth while"
