s:es5iness for Middle Age
Middle age demaI-is above all stead
mess and continuity in it, recrea-
zion. he says There is 50 much waste
To re got rid OF every day If this Is
allowed 90 accumulate 20 the week
end the tissues Of the body become
eiozged. symptoms OF poisoning show
themselves. and II Is increasingly dIft-
cult TO get rid OF them Like n piece
OF machinery thai has been allowed
TO lie unattended, the mechanism OF
the body deSeriOrates-
You cannot safely set piece OF
machinery going ct its top speed. says
the physician, and then neglect il for
another week. and repeat the process
In everyday language that method Is
asking for trouble
What then is the middle aged man
70 do in the coming months? The
answer depends TO some extent on his
temperament But more Important
than temperament is determination.
Some men OF the physicians &C
quaintance solve the difficulty by play
ing a game OF squash three OF four
times a week They simply take the
necessary time. and they are fortunate
in belonging to clubs which have the
necessary accommodation Other men
adopt swimming. and make u point OF
going TO their baths every. or nearly
every. afternoon for half an hour.
Time Is the Chief Reouisits.
The chief difficulty is time. says the
writer II Is often difficult to get
away. and often, In cold weather. the
tendency is 70 s1irk the exercise. This
Is y matter which must be left to the
Individual IL can be said. however
that an hour spent in this way is
never an hour wasted: on the con
trary. IL may save many an hour cf
ill-health I'm his opinion. Moreover
the healthy glow Of the vigorous nan
after his exercise Is n 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 ~
home There Is nothing ~ he said
against physical exercise Of this kind.
except that IL IS apt 10 he very mo-
notonous. Generally speaking. mcDot-
opous exercise is far less beneficial
than that which contains an element ~
Interest, for the reason that man Is
an intelligent being and not ma
chine. the writer asserts You can,
never whip all his faculties 70 nctfv-
ity by means Of code of muscular
movements. The thrill os the game Is
necessary 70 this purpose
Yet some men are so constituted
that they need interest in their recre-
alton far less than others, the ply
sician declares. These do very well
on n short period Of training each
morning and often show a remarkable
discrimination in keeping II up-
The point Is that II exercise IL kept
up during the week. 1t can safely and
advantageousiy be intensified at the
weekend Thus. a vigorous round Of
golf on Saturday or Sunday wiz yield
not exhaustion. but exhilaration.
