boy had not been physically fit to
fight we would not be here tonight.
But there is something beyond that.
We found that the men back of the
lines had to work hard, but a good
many of them broke down. We found
too many who were old at 40 and
fat at 30. Any time after that they
had to have a motor car if they
wanted to get anywhere. There is no
reason in the world why a man or
woman at five ard forty should look
either like ruin or a public building
(Laughter.) That is not necessary.
Nature did not mean us to do that,
and if we take proper care of our
selves we need not.
A certain gentleman was once asked
to give a definition of a nation, and
he said, ut is a body of people with
common laws, common customs, COM
mon language, art and literature" and
then he capped the climax by saying,
land enough self-consciousness to pre-
serve it." If you have not enough
Self-cOnsciousness as a nation to keen
yourselves fit, when the Hun comes
he takes all your art and literature.
After all, it comes down pretty near
the savage again about once in so
often. Then the time comes when a
nation has to fight, and that nation
must be fit to fight. If the people of
that nation are not fit to fight, then
the nation is overwhelmed.
1 handled a great many men on the
naval stations, and we had a good
many professional strong men, men
with overdevelOped muscles. Well, as
founding as it may seem, those men
could not endure, could not stand ex-
posture, could not stand lot of things
that the ordinary clerk out of an office
who had very little athletics could
stand. And it is easy to see why.
Those muscles are attachments of
yours, and they have to be fed and
taken care of. When they are over
developed they are taken care of at
the expense of the vital organs,
If you are going to do office work
you do not want great, bullying mus
cles. That is Lot worth while. 1t is
a nuisance, and sooner or later If
drains your vitality. What wanted
was something that should conserve
vitality and at the same time get at
this part of the body. Men and wom-
en- alike need to do things to make
and keep their bodies supple. There
is where the American disease of civ
ilization, constipation, comes from.
There is never any motion around the
middle of the body. What is cge?
1t is stiffness. There is no reason
why a MAJ at 80 or 60 or 70 should
not be supple; and if he is supple.
then he grows old very slowly. The
place where he must look after him
self is in his body muscles.
People think that they can take an
orgy of exercise and make up for a
long period of neglect, when they do
not take any exercise at all. You
can not do that. Nature does Lot do
things that way. She does not grow

ASPIRIN
Name "Bayer" on Genuine

Beware! Unless you see the name
"Bayer" on package or on tablets you
are not getting genuine Aspirin pre-
scribed by physicians for twenty-one
years and proved safe by millions.
Take Aspirin only as told in the Bayer
package for Colds, Headache, Neural

SELF-FEEDERS NOT FAVORED
Cows Consume More Feed Than Nee
essary to Produce Amount
of Milk They Yielded.

Self-feeders are all right for pigs;
no doubt about that. Also, some PEG.
pie have fairly good results with self
feeders for beef steers. But for dairy
cows-they are not adapted. Virginia

the plan and found it uneconomical.
The cows did not gorge themselves or

Drought TO you Oh pat
ter. You do not work for it. A great
deal too much of it is brought, and
what is the result? The result is
that you are being injured by civiliza-
ton.
So said Walter Camp to members
Of congress in a lecture by invitation
in the conference room of the house
building. Possibly he did not mean
exactly that his hearers did not do
enough work to earn their food. But,
in general, he did mean exactly what
he said. The lecture came about in
this way:
Representative John Q. Tilson of
Connecticut is distinctly able-bodied.
He is a Spanish-American war veteran
and went to the Mexican border as
colonel of the Second Connecticut in
fantry. So he believes in keeping fit.
Walter Camp of New Haven, Corn,
is a clock manufacturer, in private
life. He has, however, national rep
utatiOn as a sport writer, football eX-
pert and athletic adviser. During the
department of the navy commission
on training camp activities. Well, he
has evolved a series of exercises
called the DAILY Dozen" The beauty
of them is that they are not strenuous
and anyone can do them. And Walter
Camp thinks they will keep any man,
who has no organic trouble, fit as a
fiddle.
So Representative Tilson got Wal
ter Camp and members of congress
together and Camp lectured to them
and showed them his "Daily Dozen"
And what's more, he put several men,
hers through the exercises. And Col.
Tilson got the lecture into the Con-
gressional Record.
This article will lot describe the
"Daily Dozen" But here are some
of the valuable health hints in the
lecture.
Ladies and gentleman, do not be
alarmed, and do not think 1 am going
to suggest that you change the even
tenor of your life, or that am going
to rush you into gymnasium, lame
you, and tire you out. That is old
fashioned. We do lot have to do that
any more. A man or a woman can
keep himself or herself fit with six
or seven minutes a day.
An outdoor man can eat anything
that does not eat him first. Oaugh-
ter) If you were all on perpetual
vacations. 1 should not need to talk to
you. If you are hunting ard fishing
and travelling through the woods, Won
do not need any ideas about diet. The
greasy bacon tastes good, and it di-
gests, and you do not need any calls
themes. You get enough work. But
unfortunately a good many of us have
our living to make, ard it requires
some of our time to do that, and con-
sequently we get, as 1 say, hemmed
in between four walls and have to
compensate for it, or else an inexor-
able nature makes us pay the penalty.
The war through which we have Just
passed brought US to a realizing sense
of our situation. If my boy and your
