tendency Is to shirk the exercise. This
is matter which must be left to the
individual 1t can be said, however,
that an hour spent in this way Is
never an hour wasted; on the con.
trary, 1t may save many an hour OF

the healthy glow Of the vigorous man
after his exercise Is better thing than
the artificial warmth Of the man who
refuses to quit his Office fire.
A more simple and also much less
expensive method Is to exercise at
home. There Is nothing to be said
against physical exercise Of this kind,
except that it is apt to be very mo-
notonous. Generally speaking, mOnOt.
onous exercise is far less beneficial
than that which contains an element of
