Your Health
How to Keep It,
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hy-
.cia, the Health MAGAZINE.


Various authorities on physical
education have suggested proper
amounts of muscular activity for
persons at various ages.
Uetherington of the University Of
California suggested four hours of
musclar activity at the age of 5
years. five hours from to ., six
hours from 10 II, five hours from
] / to Is, four hours from IS to IS,
three hours from 1G to IS, and two
hours daily from is to 20, as the
proper amount.
Williams states that one hour
should be given daily to activities
involving the use OF the large mus
cles Of the body after 20 years of
age and that anything less than that
will result in physical deterioration.
Man should not live for his muscles
alone. nor should he conceive that
big muscles are necessarily asso-
ciated with good health.
Everyone should have sufficient
strength of muscle to carry on the
ordinary activities OF life and TO
permit some exceptional use in time
OF emergency. The value of mus
cular activity is. of course, to slim
ulate the bodys general chemistry
and physiology, to aid the circula-
ton and encourage elimination.
Exercise has the value for .he
young Of stimulating body growth
Among muscular activities suitable
to persons of all ages are swimming.

One-sixth of the French population,
statistics show. are classed as Hitter

not read and write. There are 81

to be z times the proportion in

Absence of children from school has
increased until more than one-ninth

A number of congresses and organ

for supplementary instruction of
young people who left school to help
earn the family living. They hope
later also to improve the general sys-

have gone through the grade schools
can get further training while they
