RECREATION

Owing to the speed, complexity and worry of modern life among all classes. and to the monotony of work in industry, recreation has become a matter of vital importance for every one.
 Some muscular activity, preferably in the open air, is needed by every healthy person.
 Recreation should be as unlike the regular occupation as possible; going to the theater, for example. is not the best exercise for sedentary work CTS employed all day in artificially lighted offices. The element of pleas ure is essential.
 Hoisting dumb bells purely from conscientious motives is seldom ben eficial, and is generally soon aban- doned.
 The part played by habit in matters of health is often overlooked. All though the body adjusts itself tc widely varying conditions and even to unfavorable ones, the importance of forming habits cannot be overlooked.
 Sudden or radical changes in liv- ing, however, particularly among peo- pie no longer young may play havoc
 New and violent systems of exer- else, weight reduction and food fads forced on families by enthusiastic dis coverers involve considerable risk.
 To maintain sound health only ra- tional program will suffice; properly balanced work and play, sleep and food and all other clements must be included in due proportion.
